Giving trauma patients with severe blood loss the hormone arginine vasopressin (AVP) cut the volume of blood products require to stabilize them by half, according to results of a new, first-of-its-kind clinical trial from Penn Medicine. The finding, published online this week in JAMA Surgery, suggests that administering AVP to trauma patients with severe bleeding…
18F‐labelled fluoro‐2‐deoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography 18F‐FDG PET/CT is used extensively in the setting of cancer staging and in assessing cancer treatment response. But Oncology patients have a sevenfold risk of developing pulmonary embolism (PE) due to underlying activation of the haemostatic system and anti‐cancer therapy inducing a hypercoagulable state. The diagnosis of PE on…
As people age, physical activity still needs to be part of the game plan for living a healthy, happy life and experts say it’s never too late to get active and build strength. “They try to tell people the body can still adapt, and it can still improve,” said Barbara Nicklas, a professor of gerontology…
Due to the large outbreaks and threats occuring by malaria; scientists join hands to protect Australia from growing threat of infectious disease. Initiating better protect and rapidly respond to the growing global risk of emergent infectious diseases which can spread to humans through animals and insects. Increased surveillance of wildlife, improving disease monitoring; and more…

Lee; from Eastern Virginia Medical School in Norfolk; and colleagues conducted a national cross-sectional analysis involving 79,108 patients undergoing surgical excision for melanoma from Jan. 1, 2001,…
Patients using orthopedic devices: prosthetics, such as an artificial limb; and orthotics, which help improve the function of an intact limb, like a knee brace or custom shoe insert says researches. In recent years, these devices have become far more complex; and technologically advanced, to the point where they can sense walking patterns and modify…
The researches find that the immune cells within the tumor microenvironment contribute to tumor progression and, importantly, to the tumor’s response to therapy. But To better understand the specific roles different immune cell types play, a multi-institutional team led by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine profiled the immune cell composition of multiple murine models…

The researches find that the The detective quantum efficiency (DQE) ;of indirect flat panel detectors (I‐FPDs);l is limit at higher x‐ray energies (e.g. 100‐140 kVp) by low absorption in their scintillating x‐ray conversion layer. Therefore While increasing the thickness of the scintillator can improve its x‐ray absorption efficiency, this approach is potentially limited by reduced…
Nearly 15 million babies are born prematurely, or before 37 weeks of pregnancy, around the world each year. When born too early, a baby’s immature respiratory center in the brain often fails to signal it to breathe; resulting in low oxygen levels, or hypoxia, in the brain.
