Infraredx, Inc., a medical device company committed to advancing the diagnosis and management of coronary artery disease, has announced the publication of key data supporting the ability of its TVC Imaging System to detect lipid core plaque in patients with ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial...
My router is telling me that we've been receiving DOS attacks every few minutes or so due to bit torrents. This seemed a bit strange, so I was wondering whether the router could be simply interpreting the bittorrent traffic as DOS attacks- rather than them actually BEING DOS attacks.
Slipping bacteria some silver could give old antibiotics new life, scientists at the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University reported in Science Translational Medicine. Treating bacteria with a silver-containing compound boosted the efficacy of a broad range of...
Clinicians have long speculated that poor sleep may be a mechanism involved in the higher risk of further cardiac events or death among those with post-traumatic stress disorder following a heart attack, but the association between PTSD and sleep after a heart event has been unknown. Recent data...
