A recently published report from the Cochrane Colloboration suggested that two drugs which are used in the treatment of human Influenza are not as effective as reported in clinical studies, so it is worth to pause a moment and recapitulate how these drugs work and take a closer look at the report before rushing to any judgment. ...

En immobilisant deux enzymes thermostables sur des réseaux de nanofibres de carbone,les chercheurs ont obtenu des performances qui permettent d’envisager leur utilisation pour l’alimentation électrique de petits appareils portables comme des capteurs environnementaux. 19/03/2014 par Christophe Cartier dit Moulin / énergie électrique, pile à combustible, hydrogène, bactérie Vers des batteries plus durables : la piste des bactéries Une équipe de chercheurs vient d’utiliser des bactéries pour produire des coques d’oxyde de fer utilisables comme matériaux d’électrodes pour batteries Li-ion. 10/12/2013 par Christophe Cartier dit Moulin / lithium, stockage, électrochimie, batterie, énergie électrique, bactérie Activité anticancéreuse spectaculaire pour des nanoparticules allongées 30/01/2014 par Christophe Cartier dit Moulin / nanoscience, santé, médicament, transport, cancer, nanoparticule

Social Science Research Network (SSRN) Blog | Doctor Steven Y. Park, MD | New York, NY | Integrative Solutions for Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome, and Snoring During college, one of the most influential coursers that I took was called “Paradigms of Health and Disease.” It was taught by my advisor in the biophysics department. This course looked at how we define what is is to be healthy or sick, and compare and contrast our definitions with other cultures and societies. One important concept that stuck with me from this course is that no disease can ever be truly “cured.” Obstructive sleep apnea is a distinct clinical condition that can only be made based on a formal sleep study. Unfortunately, as we all age, not only does our skin sag on the outside, but also sags and relaxes on the inside of your upper airway. One way of looking CPAP and dental appliances is to think of it as a cane, or a wheelchair. Even with CPAP or dental appliances, you’ll have to make constant adjustments and modifications every few months to years. For those of you with obstructive sleep apnea, what kind of lifestyle changes have you made? Next Page »

Blog » Launch experience, user feedback and next steps We launched colwiz on 7th of March with a press release on the University of Oxford website. The initial launch was aimed at researchers at academic institutions from the US and the UK (signups restricted to .edu and .ac.uk domains). We were humbled by the response from the research community. Within 3 days, researchers from more than 300 institutions signed up and they are increasing each day. Some of the organisations where researchers are using colwiz include: MIT, Stanford, Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, Max Planck Institute, CERN, INRIA, GSK, IBM, Astra Zeneca, Samsung, NHS, Royal Society, IEEE, ACM, US Environmental Protection Agency, US Department of Energy and Idaho National Laboratory among many others. We are thankful to the research community for their feedback. During the last 3 months, we have improved colwiz based on this user feedback and implemented many of these requested new features. colwiz A4 Poster
