Medical Xpress / Stopping beta-blockers after heart attack is safe for low-risk patients, study finds
Among stable, relatively low-risk patients who had previously suffered a heart attack, discontinuing beta-blockers after at least one year was found to be non-inferior, or comparable, to continuing beta-blockers in terms ...
Tech Xplore / Hybrid desiccant and shallow geothermal cooling can cut energy use in humid climates
A research team from Taiwan has developed a novel hybrid air-conditioning system integrating shallow geothermal energy and a desiccant wheel. Field tests confirm it significantly reduces energy consumption by up to 34.3% ...
Phys.org / Improved catalyst enhances the conversion of ethanol to hydrogen
Amid the climate crisis and the urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, hydrogen has emerged as one of the most promising energy sources for the transition to a low-carbon economy. When produced from renewable sources, ...
Phys.org / How internal waves transport energy thousands of miles across the ocean
Both winds and tides inject energy into the ocean. Much of that energy is then transported up to thousands of miles by internal waves: large-scale underwater waves that can travel between ocean basins. Quantifying the amount ...
Medical Xpress / Emotions in motion: How movement may signal mental health issues
Research from a team at the University of Texas at Dallas shows the potential for detecting mental health disorders by analyzing the way a person moves. Using 3D motion capture and machine-learning models, researchers were ...
