Medical Xpress / Doctors and scientists race to understand a rising form of heart failure
Approximately 3 million people in the United States are living with a condition called heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, or HFpEF. The number of people with this form of heart failure, which is more common in ...
Tech Xplore / Cartilage-inspired lithium battery coating cushions cathodes against cracks during repeated charging
Lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) power electric vehicles and most existing electronics, ranging from laptops to smartphones, tablets, smart appliances and wearable devices. These batteries charge and discharge by moving lithium ...
Medical Xpress / Physiotherapist-led care in emergency departments reduces wait times for musculoskeletal patients
Major new research from the University of Sydney has found that physiotherapist-led care significantly reduced emergency department waiting and treatment times for people with back pain, fractures, dislocations and other ...
Medical Xpress / New approach cuts sepsis diagnosis from days to hours
Sepsis, a life-threatening condition that stems from the body trying to fight off an infection, plagues more than 1.5 million patients a year in the U.S. alone, with one in three deaths recorded in hospitals attributed in ...
Phys.org / When the dust settles: Field experiments measure how everyday activity resuspends hazardous particles
Being prepared for an emergency is key to keeping people safe. This means more than just having supplies such as food, water and first-aid kits. Sometimes, the most important preparation is having the right data to help first ...
Dialog / Hydroclimate whiplash damages California's tallest redwoods after years of drought
Tall trees are generally associated with high-biomass forests. This is particularly true for forests dominated by Sequoia sempervirens (hereafter redwood), the world's tallest tree species. Extreme decay resistance, the ability ...
