Though not as prevalent in the atmosphere as carbon dioxide, methane is a far more potent greenhouse gas. Occurring naturally as well as being manmade, methane is much shorter-lived than CO2, but it is fast acting and 20 to 80 times as effective at trapping heat. A little extra methane goes a long way.

Two teams of physicists have now developed a comprehensive theoretical and experimental framework to pin down the essence of the concept — and establish ways how to potentially harness it in applications.

Their approach uses machine learning methods to evaluate an extensive body of patient data. Source: Circulatory failure is predictable

However, the findings also suggest that even moderately effective interventions to reduce transmission can have a significant impact on the scale […]

The findings from this experimental study, they say, advance regenerative medicine techniques […]
Continue Reading →A large-scale study analyzed 415,980 electronic medical records of older adults in England. People aged 75 or over with low blood pressure (below 130/80) had increased mortality rates in the follow-up, compared to those with normal blood pressure. This was especially pronounced in ‘frail’ individuals, who had 62% increased risk of death during the 10-year […]

Continue Reading →Scientists have discovered that signals in the motor cortex act like a series of clutches when it comes to moving, and that these signals can be disrupted to slow the brain’s initiation of movement. Source: How waves of 'clutches' in the motor cortex help our brains initiate movement
