New York [US], May 12 (ANI): A computer program that has been trained to see patterns by analysing thousands of chest X-rays --predicted with up to 80 per cent accuracy which COVID-19 patients would develop life-threatening complications within four days, a new study finds.
Houston (Texas) [US], May 11 (ANI): Engineers have developed a new version of their wireless implant that allows for multiple stimulators to be programmed and magnetically powered from a single transmitter outside the body. The implants could be used to treat spinal cord injuries or as pacem
Pennsylvania [US], April 28 (ANI) May 9 (ANI): The most comprehensive study of the family tree for legumes, the plant family that includes beans, soybeans, peanuts, and many other economically important crop plants, reveals a history of whole-genome duplications.
Halle [Germany], May 9 (ANI): A complicated interaction between different proteins is needed for information to pass from one nerve cell to the next. A team of researchers now managed to study this process in the synaptic vesicles, which play an important role in this process.
Washington [US], May 8 (ANI): In a new paper, a team of environmental engineers presented their results: a model that predicts where the disease will spread from an outbreak, in what patterns and how quickly.
London [UK], May 8 (ANI): Mild Covid-19 infection is very unlikely to cause lasting damage to the structure or function of the heart, according to a study.
Geneva [Switzerland], May 7 (ANI): Findings presented at today's EADV 2021 Spring Symposium suggest that an imbalance in gut microbiota (dysbiosis), could play a significant role in the progression of inflammatory skin disease, Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS).
Washington [US], May 6 (ANI): Vaccination dramatically reduced COVID-19 symptomatic and asymptomatic infections in St. Jude Children's Research Hospital employees compared with their unvaccinated peers, according to a research letter.
Liverpool [UK], May 5 (ANI): Researchers from the University of Liverpool have shown the potential of repurposing an existing and cheap drug into a long-acting injectable therapy that could be used to treat Covid-19.
Washington [US], June 5 (ANI): Researchers reporting in ACS Sensors have developed a device that can measure glucose in sweat with the touch of a fingertip, and then a personalised algorithm provides an accurate estimate of blood glucose levels.
Sydney [Australia], May 5 (ANI): Research led by the Garvan Institute of Medical Research has for the first time mapped the unique genetic profile of the skeleton's 'master regulator' cells, known as osteocytes.
Alberta [Canada], May 5 (ANI): In a breakthrough study, a team of University of Alberta researchers has discovered a way to use 3-D bioprinting technology to create custom-shaped cartilage for use in surgical procedures.
