A Test That Smells Cancer on Your Breath
In many ways, the large scanners used today to screen for
cancer represent many of the problems with advanced technology. They’re
complex, they’re invasive and they’re extremely expensive. An innovative new
cancer test may change that, bringing simplicity, ease of use and affordability
to this delicate medical arena by analyzing a patient’s breath for indicators
of cancer.
First unveiled on June 2 at the annual American Society of
Clinical Oncology in Chicago, this cancer-detecting breathalyzer system, which
is still awaiting clinical trials, is able to conduct prescreening for both
breast cancer and lung cancer. Developed by scientists at the Georgia Institute
of Technology, the cancer breathalyzer could drastically reduce costs for
American patients, while enabling expanded screening in countries with
inadequate infrastructure and taboos against mammograms.
“Most of the directions people are moving in are toward the
more complex, the more expensive. I wanted something that’s rugged, cheap and
easy enough to be done at a routine physical,” said Charlene Bayer, a professor
of chemical engineering at Georgia Tech, and a lead researcher on the project.
The cancer breathalyzer works by first capturing the
patient's breath in a specially designed container. Once in the container, the
breath will stay fresh for up to a month and a half with proper refrigerated
storage. The breath container is then sent off to a lab where a chemical sensor
searches for the organic compounds emitted by a body infected with cancer.
Since all a doctor needs to do is have a patient breathe
into the container and then send it off to a lab, this test radically reduces
the cost, time and patient discomfort associated with CAT scans and mammograms.
This ease could alter the cancer diagnosis landscape in two important ways,
Bayer told Innovation News Daily.
For patients in Western countries, the main problems with
cancer screenings are cost and discomfort. This test could reduce the cost of a
breast cancer test from $800 to less than $100, Bayer said. Additionally, the
test would require none of the invasive physical discomfort associated with
those tests.
For patients in developing nations or countries with strict
gender barriers, this test could open up even more opportunities to prevent
cancer. Not only does it lower the cost of screening to a point of
affordability, but its rugged design means doctors operating in remote
mountains or thick jungles could use the test. Many cultures also forbid the
level of physical intimacy needed to perform tests like mammograms. With the
new breath test, a woman wearing a burqa can get screened for breast cancer
without causing any cultural offense.
This test does not have the same accuracy as the other, more
expensive tests, nor will it totally eliminate their use, Bayer said. Instead,
this test will help determine whether or not a patient needs further testing
using the more expensive and intrusive devices. But for those Americans who can
barely afford their health care as it is, and the hundreds of millions of
people in the developing world who currently have little to no access to any
cancer screening technology, this invention may be enough to save lives.

Hands on with Windows 10's
new features
This post was originally published on Mashable.
Microsoft unveiled
Windows 10, the long-awaited follow-up to Windows 8 earlier this week.
The latest version of
Windows walks back some of the more jarring changes of
Windows 8, including the return of the Start menu and improvements to how apps
are displayed, while also adding multitasking enhancements that will appeal to
those who use touchscreen devices as well as PCs.

But while Windows 10 will be a welcome
change to those users who were turned off by the "mobile first"
approach of Windows 8, the latest version of Windows hardly feels like a step
backward.

With Windows 10, Microsoft has managed
to preserve some of Windows 8's Metro touches while also adding new
multitasking features and other usability enhancements likely to bring
enterprise and desktop power users back to the Windows fold.
We got a chance to demo some of Windows
10's new features, and here's our first impressions of what we saw.
The Start menu is back
Yes, the Start menu so many
missed in Windows 8 has returned (hopefully for good). Though Microsoft first announced the return of the Start menu
earlier this year at Build, the company's annual conference, the longstanding
(and previously much-missed) menu was undoubtedly the star of Tuesday's event.
It will be present on both touch
devices and more traditional "mouse and keyboard" setups. The left
column looks much like the traditional Windows 7 Start menu— complete with jump
menus— and contains your most frequently used apps, including Windows desktop
apps and Windows Store apps.
The right column houses customisable
live tiles. You can add any app's live tile to that column at any time by
simply dragging it over, although apps that don't have live tile functionality
will be a shortcut rather than a fully functional live tile. Alternatively,
those who don't like the Metro look of the live tiles can forgo them
altogether.
The Start menu itself can also be
resized endlessly and you can add as many live tiles as you want. In Windows
10, the size of the Start menu is really only limited to the size of your
monitor. The demo we saw was surprisingly fast and the menu was responsive,
even when dozens of live tiles were added at once.
Additionally, the bottom of the menu
has a spotlight-style search tool that will search locally for apps and files
on your machine but will also search the web via Microsoft's Bing search
engine. The same search tool also lives in the task bar.
Multitasking
With Windows 10, Microsoft is
introducing some truly powerful multitasking features that will be a big draw
to enterprise and average consumers alike.
The biggest addition is Task View, a
new multitasking feature for easily switching between apps and desktops. Task
View, which will look familiar to those accustomed to Mission Control in OS X,
can be activated with the new Task View button on the task bar or by swiping
left when using a touchscreen device.
While in Task View, the size and
orientation of windows is preserved, so you can preview how windows are
positioned in different desktops. You can also add new desktops or toggle
between apps with the alt + tab command while in Task View.
In our limited testing, Task View
worked seamlessly and we were able to quickly and easily switch between
multiple applications. While the addition of multiple desktops will certainly
be appealing to power users who use two or more monitors, anyone can use
multiple desktops at once.
New windows
To further aid with multitasking,
Microsoft has also rolled out several improvements to how the windows
themselves work. One of the biggest complaints with Windows 8 was the inability
to resize apps from the Windows Store, which ran in full screen, regardless of
what kind of device you were using.
In Windows 10, apps from the Windows
Store open in resizable windows that can be closed or minimised to the task bar
with the familiar title bars.
Additionally, Microsoft has added handy
shortcuts for resizing windows. Dragging a window up to the top of the screen
will snap it to full size, while dragging it to one side will snap it to that
half of the display. You can have up to four applications snapped to the same
window at once
What's Next
While we saw many appealing Windows 10
features in our preview, there are still many more features we haven't seen
yet. And, given that this was just the first preview build, it's hard to know
exactly what the final version of Windows 10 (expected in 2015) will look like.
But the features we have seen are quite
promising, particularly for those who were unsatisfied with Windows 8's
emphasis on touchscreen devices. Microsoft has undoubtedly shown they are
willing to listen to what their users want
Those who are okay with taking
the risks preview software entails can sign up for the opportunity to be part
of Microsoft's Insider program and be among the first
group to get their hands on Windows 10.

Imaine this. on your way to see the dentist and you got stuck in traffic. not for an hour or two or ten hours. But for a long 10 days.
This happened in China in 2010 August, 14. This is clearly confirmed by Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_National_Highway_110_traffic_jam
Now think again. Driving, Traffic.... I will get a bike.
