* Expedition 10 Conducts ADUM Experiment*
Expedition 10 Commander Leroy Chiao and Flight Engineer Salizhan 
Sharipov conducted a session with the Advanced Diagnostic Ultrasound in 
Microgravity (ADUM) experiment on Thursday. This investigation seeks to 
better understand the crew's ability to gather and transmit data to the 
ground. ADUM may also lead to benefits on Earth, allowing for much 
quicker injury diagnosis for patients at remote locations by doctors 
based at hospitals.

Chiao and Sharipov also took part in crew medical officer training. The 
routine 30-minute session is designed to refresh the crew's medical 
knowledge. They also performed routine ISS maintenance and exercised.
