Have a nice day.]]>Aug 22nd 2008 3:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/researchers-aim-to-detect-skin-cancer-via-scent/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/researchers-aim-to-detect-skin-cancer-via-scent/
Wireless keyboards/routers et. emit very low radiation too, a year's expsoure to Wifi equates to a 20 minute phone call.

Ipods don't do any damage to cells other than your ear drums if you crank it up too much.

All that radiation added up accumulates to nothing compared ot going and getting an annual sun tan.

Survival of the fittest.

Whew, got that out of the way.

Engadget should have a contest using 60 words or less in three sentences that would cover 90% of all posts on any given topic.

I believe that preliminary studies have been done with dogs to look for certain cancers by scent. Companion dogs have been trained to warn of the on-set of epileptic seizures in children and adults.

Dogs cost a lot less than a chemical scent analyzer but then dogs don't vote, don't give campaign contributions, don't lobby Congress, the DOD and TSA, and don't give jobs to members of Congress voted out of office.]]>Aug 22nd 2008 3:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/researchers-aim-to-detect-skin-cancer-via-scent/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/researchers-aim-to-detect-skin-cancer-via-scent/
The advantage of GC-MS is that it's a bit of general purpose equipment most hospitals' diagnostic labs should already have. I wonder if in-situ MS ion sources like DESI and DART could be pushed in this sort of direction, they have wonderful sensitivity...]]>Aug 22nd 2008 3:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/researchers-aim-to-detect-skin-cancer-via-scent/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/researchers-aim-to-detect-skin-cancer-via-scent/Aug 22nd 2008 4:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/researchers-aim-to-detect-skin-cancer-via-scent/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/researchers-aim-to-detect-skin-cancer-via-scent/Aug 22nd 2008 3:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/researchers-aim-to-detect-skin-cancer-via-scent/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/researchers-aim-to-detect-skin-cancer-via-scent/Aug 22nd 2008 3:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/researchers-aim-to-detect-skin-cancer-via-scent/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/researchers-aim-to-detect-skin-cancer-via-scent/Aug 22nd 2008 3:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/researchers-aim-to-detect-skin-cancer-via-scent/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/researchers-aim-to-detect-skin-cancer-via-scent/
It's a good thing they're using live canines... the dead ones don't smell too good.]]>Aug 22nd 2008 3:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/researchers-aim-to-detect-skin-cancer-via-scent/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/researchers-aim-to-detect-skin-cancer-via-scent/
