Dongkyun "DK" Kang was in the shower a few years ago when inspiration struck, and I became interested in the idea of imaging human tissue in vivo, or on a living person, using a smartphone attached to a microscope.
The popularity of air transport continues to grow, placing an even greater workload on air traffic controllers (ATCOs). Their predicament can be improved through an automatic speech recognition system closely integrated with an arrival manager developed by EU and SESAR funded researchers.
The vertebrates, the animal group to which humans belong, are extremely diverse and have colonized virtually all of the planet's ecosystems. For many years there was some debate as to which changes in our ancestors' genome could have contributed to the successful evolution of the vertebrates.
Now, an international team of scientists co-led by Spanish researchers from the Center for Genomic Regulation (CRG), the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), and the National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) in France, has just described the processes that ultimately helped to yield the diversity of gene functions and regulation during the transition from invertebrates to vertebrates.
Engulfed in social stigma and discrimination, HIV / AIDS is an issue of society still addresses in hushed voices despite the progression we claim to have achieved globally. In honor of World AIDS Day 2018 (Celebrated on December 1) the National STD / AIDS Control Program (NSACP) has partnered up with its stakeholders, NGO partners and the private sector to approach this disease with open hearts and minds.
EXPLORER, the world's first medical imaging scanner that can capture a 3-D picture of the whole human body at once, has produced its first scans, exhibited in the study
Irrational prescription of broad-spectrum antibiotics, poor regulations around sale of antibiotics are some of the key factors driving AMR in our country. To ensure judicious use of antibiotics in healthcare facilities, the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) released on November 20, Antimicrobial Stewardship Guidelines to advise hospitals in setting up Antimicrobial Stewardship Programmes (AMSP) for the purpose.
Nature is full of examples of large-scale collective behavior; humans also exhibit this behavior, most notably in pelotons, the mass of riders in bicycle races. Using aerial video footage of bicycle races, analyzed peloton motion to determine what causes changes in the group's large-scale collective behavior and found that riders move through the peloton in a similar manner to circulation in a fluid.
Smoke-free policies have been associated with lower systolic (top number) blood pressure readings among non-smokers, according to new research in Journal of the American Heart Association, the Open Access Journal of the American Heart Association / American Stroke Association.
Osaka University-led study shows that label-free digital diagnostics based on nanopore analytics and AI technology can characterize individual virions by their distinct physical features
