Blood clots in the veins, known as venous thromboembolism (VTE), are a major concern for those who have suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Even when medical professionals take swift and aggressive action to prevent these clots, they still occur. This study aimed to understand why this happens
Robotic surgery has become a big deal in treating cancers of the urinary system. But how safe is it? A recent study looked at over 2, 000 patients who had robotic surgery using a single-port technique. This method is newer and less invasive, but doctors wanted to check if it increases the risk of bl
Aging often brings frailty, which can complicate surgeries like total hip or knee replacements. This is because frailty can increase the chances of blood clots in veins after these operations. These clots can lead to serious issues like deep vein thrombosis or even pulmonary embolism. A study looke
In the realm of medical science, detecting cancer markers quickly is crucial. One of the newer tools is the electrochemiluminescence immunosensor. This device is known for its accuracy in spotting biomarkers. But it has a couple of big issues. It takes a long time to get results. And it often g
A high-ranking U. S. official made a significant trip to Israel recently. Kristi Noem, the Homeland Security Secretary, touched down in Israel on a Sunday. This visit came right after a tragic event in Washington, D. C. where two Israeli embassy workers lost their lives. The trip was arranged by the
What happens when you mix water, ethanol, and trans-anethol? You get a special type of liquid mix called a surfactant-free microemulsion. These mixtures are interesting because they can form tiny clusters, or nanodomains, without needing any extra helpers, like surfactants. The key to understandi

When kids get a lung infection from Mycoplasma pneumoniae, it can sometimes lead to serious blood clots in the lungs. This is a rare but important issue that doctors need to watch out for. A group of 36 young patients, mostly boys, experienced this complication. They were all around 7 or 8 years old
A new method has been developed to understand how 2D materials work in electronic devices. These materials, known as transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), are becoming very popular in optoelectronics. The challenge is to see how their structure affects their electrical performance. The key is to
