Researchers are using a natural material derived from seaweed to promote vascular cell growth, prevent blood clots and improve the performance of synthetic vascular grafts used in heart bypass surgery.
The new study led by the University of Waterloo aimed to investigate the relationship between vaccine hesitancy, psychological factors associated with anxiety, and individuals' reasoning for and against getting the COVID-19 vaccine.
Chandigarh [India], August 9 (ANI/PNN): North India's one of the largest education conclaves - The Higher Education Conclave, organized by Silver Fern Education Consultants, returns for its 2nd edition on Saturday, 13th of August 2022.
Washington [US], July 6 (ANI): Scientists revealed a large, all-season ozone hole in the lower stratosphere over the tropics comparable in depth to that of the well-known springtime Antarctic hole, but roughly seven times greater in area. The observed data agree well with the cosmic-ray-driven electron reaction (CRE) model and strongly indicate the identical physical mechanism working for both Antarctic and tropical ozone holes.
Waterloo (Ontario) [Canada], May 5 (ANI): According to new research, people taking diuretics and renin-angiotensin (RSA) inhibitors for high blood pressure should also be careful to take ibuprofen as the combination can cause acute kidney injury, which can be permanent in some cases.
Waterloo [Canada], March 18 (ANI): A new study led by the University of Waterloo found that smoke from wildfires can destroy the ozone layer. Researchers cautioned that if major fires became more frequent with a changing climate, more damaging ultraviolet radiation from the sun will reach the ground.
Washington [US], March 9 (ANI): A study of more than 2,000 streams around North America found that those altered by human activity are at greater risk of flooding.
Waterloo [Canada], February 28 (ANI): Using computer drug simulations, a team of researchers found that doctors need to be wary of prescribing a particular treatment for all types of cancer and patients.
Ontario [Canada], February 9 (ANI): Technology has proved to be a major source of hope in the global fight against COVID-19. In wake of this, researchers at the University of Waterloo created the first computational model that simulated many variables affecting the transmission of COVID-19 to slow the spread of variants.
