Building a Terabyte Archive at the ESO HQ
This event marks the closing of the data flow loop at the VLT for the first time and the successful culmination of more than 5 years of hard work by ESO engineers and scientists to implement a system for efficient and effective scientific data flow. This was achieved by a cross-organization science... view more (1999-06-21)

New Technique For Measuring Blood Flow To Brain In Babies (p 1749)
Authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET describe how an ultrasound technique can be used as a non-invasive way of measuring blood flow to the brain in babies, which may be of benefit to infants with brain disorders arising from restrictions in cerebral blood flow. Changes... view more (2002-11-27)

An active way to boost traffic flow
A futuristic scheme is to be trialled on the M42 in Birmingham, using a combination of hi-tech traffic management systems, to help smooth traffic flow and reduce congestion. From summer 2004, a series of innovative tools will start to be integrated as part of the Active Traffic Management project.... view more (2003-12-01)

Simple test for asthma patients predicts length of hospital stay
Simple test for asthma patients predicts length of hospital stay (Peak expiratory flow sequence in acute exacerbations of asthma) BMJ Volume 322, p 1281 Measuring the change in a patient’s ability to blow three times in quick succession into a peak flow meter during an acute asthma attack... view more (2001-05-23)

Monitoring of blood flow to the brain could prevent brain damage
University of Southampton engineers believe that monitoring blood flow to the brains of head injury patients could potentially reduce the incidence of brain damage and long-term disability, and are developing methods of using ultrasound to do this. With many years experience in studying the rise... view more (2003-04-30)

Endurance Athletes Could Benefit From Surgical Release Of Kinked Leg Arteries (p 466)
Flow restrictions in leg arteries of endurance athletes are commonly caused by kinking and could be easily resolved by a straightforward surgical procedure, conclude authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Endurance athletes-especially cyclists and speed skaters-often have... view more (2002-02-06)

Late life depression associated with blood flow changes in the brain
Depression in later life seems to be associated with changes in blood flow velocity in the main arteries of the brain, shows research in the Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery and Psychiatry. Hardened and thickened arteries, which are more typical in later life, do not explain the findings.   view more (2002-06-25)

Scanning blood flow during operations
EUREKA project E! 2427 PERMON is developing a radiological imaging system that will give medics a clearer view inside the human body by accurately monitoring organ blood flow during operations. This essential information will lead to an increase in techniques such as laser surgery over more... view more (2004-06-01)

Novel computer model for blood flow could help doctors predict arterial disease
A unique computer model of how blood flows in human arteries has been developed by researchers in the UK. The model could help doctors understand the stresses that blood places on the walls of vessels and provide new insights into vascular disease. The work has been carried out by Dr Yun Xu... view more (2000-10-19)

Brain Research To Help In Fight Against Cardiovascular Disease
Scientists at the University of Liverpool, supported by the British Heart Foundation, are studying blood flow in the brain to further medical understanding of cardiovascular disease.   view more (2005-03-21)

VIDEO IMAGES COULD HELP SPEED UP CITY TRAFFIC
Current methods of traffic control are normally based on inductive loops placed in the road on approaches to traffic lights, to sense the presence of approaching vehicles. Inductive loops are expensive to install and are prone to damage, while also giving limited information about traffic... view more (1999-09-14)

Blood flow to brain may be clue to certain dementias
The amount of blood flowing into the brain may play a larger role in the development of dementia than previously believed, according to a study in the September issue of the journal Radiology.   view more (2005-08-30)

Image Velocity Estimation In Echocardiographs
BACKGROUND There are many instances in which a subject in an image is moving, and it is necessary to track the subject as it moves from frame to frame; this movement is known as optical flow or image velocity. Such measurement of optical flow may be done to improve the image encoding efficiency, or... view more (2005-04-26)

Scientists find how neural activity spurs blood flow in the brain
New research from Harvard University neuroscientists has pinpointed exactly how neural activity boosts blood flow to the brain. The finding has important implications for our understanding of common brain imaging techniques such as fMRI, which uses blood flow in the brain as a proxy for neural... view more (2008-06-26)

Beating Heart Bypass Surgery Reduces Postoperative Complications...
Results of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery done on the beating heart reduces the risk of short-term complications compared with conventional bypass surgery. CABG surgery on the beating heart (off-pump surgery) is increasingly being... view more (2002-04-04)

'Lite' low tar cigarettes impair blood flow as much as regular cigarettes
Low tar "lite" cigarettes impair blood flow through the heart as severely as regular cigarettes, reveals a small study published ahead of print in the journal Heart.   view more (2007-05-15)

Lasers, Tomatoes and Blood
The monitoring of blood flow in the skin is an important diagnostic tool in many areas of medicine. These include the diagnosis of diabetes and of various dermatological conditions, the assessment of burn and other wound damage, and the response of the vascular system to smoking and other drugs.   view more (1998-09-01)

Smoking damages the placenta and reduces foetal growth
Dr Peter Hindmarsh (University College, London), at the British Endocrine Societies 2003 meeting, will reveal new evidence that smoking when pregnant causes damage to the placenta and reduced birth weight. His team found that nutrient delivery to the baby was restricted and levels of an important... view more (2003-03-19)

Trees, forests and the Eiffel tower reveal theory of design in nature
What do a tree and the Eiffel Tower have in common? According to a Duke University engineer, both are optimized for flow. In the case of trees, the flow is of water from the ground throughout the trunk, branches and leaves, and into the air. The Eiffel Tower's flow carries stresses throughout the... view more (2008-08-14)

Study: Even occasional smoking can impair arteries
Even occasional cigarette smoking can impair the functioning of your arteries, according to a new University of Georgia study that used ultrasound to measure how the arteries of young, healthy adults respond to changes in blood flow.   view more (2008-10-08)

VIP's importance to temperature regulation may be pre-empted by substance P
An elusive neurotransmitter pathway in the skin may have been isolated by University of Oregon researchers, a discovery that, if confirmed, would be a leap forward in understanding how temperature regulation occurs.   view more (2006-10-25)

Underwater wings for tidal power
A NOVEL machine that generates electricity from marine tides will be put to the test off the Scottish coast next year. Called the Snail, it uses the flow of water over wings to anchor it to the seabed. This will allow it to operate at a greater range of sites than rival models, its designers say.... view more (2003-09-24)
