Research team formed to solve medical mysteries

doctor's stethoscopeThe U.S. National Institutes of Health has announced a new research program designed to solve the medical cases that are stumping doctors. The Undiagnosed Diseases Program will tackle difficult cases that are referred to the center by doctors across the country.

Just imagine the frustration doctors must feel when faced with a patient who's exhibiting symptoms that don't correspond with known illnesses (not to mention the frustration the patients feel.) The development of this research team pulls together a highly trained staff with state-of-the-art equipment -- diagnosticians that spend their whole days solving the unsolvable.

Necessarily, the program will be very selective about which cases it takes on. The case must have first exhausted all standard diagnostic procedures. The program will work with approximately 100 patients per year.
