Tech Xplore / A more accurate way to predict conditions inside wind tunnels
Researchers at Missouri University of Science and Technology have developed a more accurate way to predict conditions inside wind tunnels that are used to study how air behaves at speeds up to four times faster than the speed ...
Medical Xpress / Use of hepatitis C-positive donors reduces pancreas transplant wait times
Researchers at Cedars-Sinai Health Sciences University have discovered that utilizing organs from donors who are hepatitis C virus-positive (HCV+) can greatly shorten wait times for those awaiting pancreas transplants. According ...
Medical Xpress / A routine virus can slow breast cancer spread to the lungs, offering hidden protective power
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), mostly infects the lungs, nose, throat, and respiratory tract, and can cause illness ranging from mild cold and fever-like symptoms to severe pneumonia and bronchitis. A recent study has ...
