Abstract Stroke occur mainly due to arterial thrombosis and rupture of cerebral blood vessels. Previous studies showed that blood flow-induced wall shear stress is an essential bio marker for estimating atherogenesis. It is a common practice to use computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations to calculate wall shear stress and to quantify blood flow. Reliability of […]

Abstract Mosaic chromosomal alterations (mCAs) are common in cancers and can arise decades before diagnosis. A quantitative understanding of the rate at which these events occur, and their functional consequences, could improve cancer risk prediction and our understanding of somatic evolution. Using mCA clone size estimates from the blood of approximately 500,000 UK Biobank participants, […]

The Armed Services Blood Program has worked with U.S. Army Cadet Command for over a decade, connecting lifesaving and selfless service. The ASBP blood drives held during Cadet Summer Training in Fort Knox, Kentucky, are always a success because of command support. The events of 2023 were no different, with the summer having another round of […]

Lying down while getting your blood pressure taken could result in a more accurate reading, according to new findings presented at the American Heart Association (AHA)’s Hypertension Scientific Sessions 2023 on Saturday in Boston.  Researchers found that among people with high blood pressure, the readings more accurately predicted future stroke, heart issues and death when […]

On the 1st of September, I published an article together with a couple of other researchers in the Journal of Bioethical Inquiry advocating for “clean meat.” What is clean meat? Other popular terms include “lab-grown meat,” “synthetic meat,” and “ethical meat.” Because more and more people object to the industrial farming of animals, vegetarianism and […]

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — It’s lunchtime at the Salt Lake City Mosquito Abatement District and a colony of sabethes cyaneus — also known as the paddle-legged beauty for its feathery appendages and iridescent coloring — find their way to Ella Branham. “They’re not very aggressive and they’re kind of picky eaters,” said Branham, a […]
