While topline results from TRAILBLAZER-ALZ showed a 32% slowing of cognitive decline with the anti-amyloid drug donanemab, highly anticipated phase 2 findings provide a more detailed analysis.
Elon Musk’s SpaceX is preparing to further expand testing of its Starlink satellite internet in a test for the U.S. Air Force, an FCC request revealed.
Elon Musk’s SpaceX is preparing to further test its Starlink satellite internet in a demonstration for the U.S. Air Force, the company revealed in a recent request to the Federal Communications Commission.
“SpaceX seeks to make minor modifications to its experimental authorization for additional test activities undertaken with the federal government,” the company wrote to the FCC in a filing on Thursday.
“The tests are designed to demonstrate the ability to transmit to and receive information from two stationary ground sites and one airborne aircraft at one location, and would add to these limited testing from a moving vehicle on the ground,” SpaceX said.
The new treatment utilizes “artificial brainwaves” through a wearable device that according to clinical trials, resulted in 77% of subjects recovering faster from strokes if compared to those not using the treatment. The “artificial brainwaves” are delivered via electromagnetic radiation, which stimulates the nervous system to regrow and heal itself. In using this method, BrainQ was able to imitate the processes of neural network synchronization.
In a study conducted by the company, using a double-blind randomized controlled trial, it was found that after eight weeks of treatment, 77% of test subjects receiving BrainQ’s therapy had scores of 1 or 0 on the modified rankin scale, which indicates that either no symptoms or minor symptoms resulted from the trial, along with no significant disability.
The results of the study is expected to be presented at the International Stroke Conference in late March.
3D Printed Organs
Posted in biotech/medical, materials
A new technique for making 3D printed organs uses hydrogels and lasers to print at speeds 50 times faster than conventional methods.
But uptake by patients and physicians has been low in the United States, where some therapies have been authorized for months.
But that’s nothing compared to how long scientists have been waiting to spot the bizarre phenomenon. Live Science notes that Stephen Glashow first came up with the notion of the subatomic cascade back in 1960 and that it’s been a matter of pure theory that whole time.
The actual cascade of Glashow resonance involves an antineutrino — or even a regular neutrino — crashing into an electron with so much energy that it produces a comparatively-large particle called a W boson.
Doing this requires the extremely-tiny antineutrino to carry 6.3 petaelectronvolts, or the amount of energy of 6.3 quadrillion electrons accelerated by a single volt. That’s the same, Live Science calculated, as 6300 mosquitos traveling at one mile per hour — or one mosquito traveling 8.2 times the speed of sound.
Scientists have achieved a breakthrough in the production of antimatter in the laboratory, with a near 100% increase.
