Researchers have developed a new X-ray contrast agent. The contrast agent is easier to use and distributes into all blood vessels more reliably, increasing the precision of vascular imaging. This reduces the number of an...

(University of California - Berkeley) Hospitalized COVID-19 patients in the U.S. are enduring longer hospital stays and facing higher rates of intensive care unit (ICU) admission than patients in China, finds a new study...

(University of Sussex) GP's notes currently unavailable to medical researchers could provide clues to help manage major health crises -- like COVID-19. And according to a 'citizens' jury' study at Brighton and Sussex Med...

IAR Systems announces that its extensive product portfolio of embedded development tools is now extended with build tools supporting implementation in Linux-based frameworks for automated application build and test proce...

Excelfore has launched a new Software Development Kit (SDK) for the eSync standard data pipeline. The SDK provides customers an Out-of-the-Box connectivity solution for their embedded systems to their preferred Cloud pla...

As design engineers create smaller and more powerful electronics, they must place sensitive components closer together, which can increase to damaging levels the force placed on these components. A new fabric-over-foam g...

Researchers have found that the chance of a false negative result -- when a virus is not detected in a person who actually is, or recently has been, infected -- is greater than 1 in 5 and, at times, far higher.

The COVID-19 pandemic has magnified the social, educational and health care disparities already plaguing the nearly 40 million Americans the US Census Bureau estimates are living in poverty. Perhaps the hardest hit membe...

Giving beneficial bacteria to stressed mothers during the equivalent of the third trimester of pregnancy prevents an autism-like disorder in their offspring, according to a new animal study.

The spectrum analyzer is a member of the oscilloscope family. An electrical signal is fed, by means of a BNC cable or probe, into an input port on the front panel, and its graphic image appears on the LCD screen. But rat...

Researchers hope giving Remdesivir along with a powerful anti-inflammatory could be the key to treating the most severe COVID-19 cases.

In women with a history of miscarriage, higher levels of physical activity were associated with a greater risk of subclinical, or very early, pregnancy loss, according to new research. Among women with confirmed pregnanc...

One in three women in Europe inherited the receptor for progesterone from Neanderthals -- a gene variant associated with increased fertility, fewer bleedings during early pregnancy and fewer miscarriages.

The 4-channel PicoScope 6000E Series 500-MHz oscilloscopes provide 8 to 12 bits of vertical resolution and up to 5 GSa/sec sampling rate with 4 GSa memory, allowing these scopes to display single-shot pulses with 200-pse...

Knocking out the immune cytokine IL-6 exacerbates symptoms in HD model mice and affects neural connection genes, a new study finds.

In a new study, researchers have discovered how the protein PP2A can inhibit tumor growth in mice. The protein turns off an enzyme that stimulates cell growth, thus inhibiting the development of cancer.

Antibodies for potential use as medicines can be made rapidly in chicken cells grown in laboratories. Researchers refer to their technique as the human ADLib system, short for autonomously diversifying libraries. The tec...

GP's notes currently unavailable to medical researchers could provide clues to help manage major health crises -- like COVID-19. And according to a 'citizens' jury' study at Brighton and Sussex Medical School (BSMS), the...

Chronic pain can be reduced by stimulating the vagus nerve in the ear with electrodes. In a microanatomic study, the human ear has now been analyzed on a micrometer scale. A computer model was created, allowing scientist...

A third-generation 1,700-V 5-A SiC Schottky diode called the GP3D005A170B comes in the industry standard TO-247-2 package as well as bare-die format. 10-A and 20-A 1,700-V diodes will follow shortly. Michael T. Robinson,...

If you’re recovering from a respiratory problem, chances are you may have had your oxygen levels checked with a pulse oximeter. Pulse oximetry is the non-invasive measurement of the oxygen saturation (SpO2). Oxygen sat...

Plant products ingested by pregnant women through their diet are broken down by the intestinal microbiota into chemical substances, some of which can cross the placental barrier and reach the fetus. These foreign substan...
