Serum Sodium Level Is A Major Predictor Of A Poor Prognosis For Heart
Research presented at the American College of Cardiology's Scientific Sessions in Orlando pinpoints a major marker of a poor prognosis for heart failure, hyponatremia, or a lower than normal concentration of serum or blood sodium. Blood Test Can Accurately Diagnose Heart Failure In Emergency Patients
A new blood test that measures a particular marker of cardiac distress can markedly improve the ability to diagnose or exclude congestive heart failure in patients with shortness of breath who come to hospital emergency departments. Sales Method Pays Off For Materials Scientists; Data Mining Used To Pr
The same computer methods used by online sales sites to suggest books to customers can help predict the crystal structures of materials, MIT researchers have found. These structures are key to designing new materials and improving existing ones, which means that everything from batteries to airplane wings could be influenced by the new method. Panama Pacific International Exposition in 3D
Dozens of stereographic (three-dimensional) images first published to advertise the 1915 World's Fair in San Francisco, known formally as the Panama Pacific International Exposition. "Viewing the Stereographs"includes instructions for making or purchasing the 3-D lenses required to fully appreciate the special effects. Digitized for the San Francisco Exploratorium from a collection held by librarian Bess Moffitt. Experimental AI Powers Robot Army
Neural networking pioneer Stephen Thaler is adapting his Creativity Machine theories to power self-organizing swarms of cockroach-size robots for the military. Is an artificial intelligence breakthrough on the horizon? By David Hambling. Molecule That Protects Against Mental Retardation And Other Neuronal D
Researchers have now discovered that a protein that helps organising the cells'skeleton is crucial for preventing mental retardation and other neuronal disorders. They report that mice lacking the protein show symptoms of lissencephaly brought about by faulty development of the cerebral cortex, the brain's surface layer. Why Did Cowboys Facility Collapse?
A fabric-covered, steel frame practice facility owned by the National Football League's Dallas Cowboys collapsed under wind loads significantly less than those required under applicable design standards, according to a new report. Located in Irving, Texas, the facility collapsed on May 2, 2009, during a severe thunderstorm. Twelve people were injured, one seriously. Small Social Circles Tied To Heart Disease Death In Women
Women with suspected coronary artery disease and smaller social networks die at twice the rate of those who have a larger circle of social contacts, according to a new study. NASA Data Helps Pinpoint Wildfire Threats
NASA data from earth observation satellites is helping build the capability to determine when and where wildfires may occur by providing details on plant conditions, according to a recent study. Laser Probe Of A Brain Pigment's Anatomy May Offer Insight Into Parkin
In a finding that may offer clues about Parkinson's disease, a team led by Duke University researchers used a sophisticated laser system to gain evidence that a dark brown pigment that accumulates in people's brains consists of layers of two other pigments commonly found in hair.
