Better, Faster Cancer Diagnosis

Research funded by NIH at Massachusetts General Hospital has yielded a miniature, point-of-care Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) device that can non- invasively diagnose cancer and has demonstrated superior accuracy and speed when compared to standard biopsy. The micro-NMR does this by analyzing  cells, proteins, nucleic acids, viruses, and bacteria from unpurified biological samples -- all in less than an hour. Using unprocessed samples eliminates the need for a lab and trained technicians.

Novel Resorbable Stent Improves Cardiac Care

NIH funded research at Rutgers University has resulted in the development of new materials for biomedical applications. One example is a new resorbable cardiovascular stent that can replace the metal stents currently in use, which remain in the body and often cause long-term complications. This stent also delivers medication and is radio-opaque, allowing imaging and controlled monitoring of the re-absorption process.

Human Livers in Mice Aid Therapeutics

Research funded by the NIH at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has resulted in the ability to provide both mouse liver function and human liver function in the same mouse. This capability enables researchers to investigate how human livers metabolize drugs, to test susceptibility to toxicity, and to demonstrate species-specific responses that typically do not show up until clinical trials.

When most democracies on Earth were destroyed ...

When most democracies on Earth were destroyed ...

Whatever you are seeing, its past is set. The existence of life on earth is also included. One day this too will become past. but, when?

You may not believe it, but according to the study of fossils, the existence of life on earth has been around 3.5 billion years. Over the time, the Earth has faced many disasters - getting fed up or colliding with pieces of space, mass poisoning of creatures, radiation that burns everything….

Obviously, even if life poses such a grave threat, the existence of life will not be completely lost from the earth.

Glass disk 'will store data for billions of years

Glass disk 'will store data for billions of years

Now a technology has come in the field of storage devices that will store your data for billions of years. Researchers at the University of South Hampton have created simple glass-like "internal storage systems". Up to 360 TB (terabytes) of data can be recorded through laser technology.

Researchers at the Optoelectronics Research Center have created this "Superman glass crystal". Researchers are currently looking for companies that can make it available in the market. Such stores will have dataglass discs that have three layers with a distance of five micrometres.

Selfie has the secrets of personality in an angle show

Selfie has the secrets of personality in an angle show

A person's personality can be detected with a selfie. According to a recent research, it can be definitely detected. A research at Nanyang Tectonical University in Singapore has revealed that selfies can be traced to the persona of governance.

Researchers claim that the face of the person seen in the selfie, selfie bird and photo angle can be used to know about his purity and many other information.

Experts said that if a selfie is not happy and looks smiling, it is possible, it can be gentle hearted and altruistic. Here one has to talk between the real and fake Musanan.

Mobility for Paralyzed Patients

Epidural stimulation research funded by the NIH demonstrates remarkable results in humans with severe spinal cord injury. Dr. Reggie Edgerton has found that by increasing the excitability of the body's neural network, a level of function can be achieved, including the ability to stand independently. Perhaps even more remarkable, is the regaining of voluntary control of bladder, bowel, and sexual function.

DIY Vaccination with Microneedle Patch

Mark Prausnitz, Ph.D., of the Georgia Institute of Technology, talks about the potential advantages of using microneedle patches instead of traditional hypodermic needles for annual flu vaccination. Besides being nearly painless to use, the microneedle patches are simple enough for patients to apply themselves, which may encourage more people to get immunized.
 

Imaging Alzheimer's in the Brain

Dr. Paul Thompson discusses the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI), an imaging project that attempts to discover the best predictors and measures of Alzheimer's Disease. The hope is that a treatment or cure could be developed by better understanding what happens to the brain when it is diseased. He also discusses non-medical interventions that have been shown to help protect against Alzheimer's.

Introducing COVID-19 Snapshot

Helping people to analyze COVID-19 situation in their city

2020 was the year when India first witnessed the community outbreak of the SARS-COV-2 virus AKA COVID-19. Though, around late 2020, the dropping number of fresh COVID-19 cases made us all believe we have finally won the battle & things will go back to normal by 2021 & our guards went down.

Little did we know the battle has just begun!
