Some patients with heart attack shock survive years after aggressive treatment
Despite advances in treatment, people with a heart attack who survive the first hit and get to a hospital remain in danger. Almost one out of 10 of these patients will develop cardiogenic shock in which the heart malfunctions, causing an inadequate amount of blood to be pumped to the vital organs.   view more (2006-06-07)

FLUCTUATIONS IN BIOLOGICAL PRODUCTION IN THE EQUATORIAL PACIFIC UNDERTHE EFFECT OF EL NINO
A region of the western equatorial Pacific, the Pacific warm pool, has exceptionally warm surface waters (an average 28.5°C) which have low salinity and are oligotrophic (nutrient-poor). At the Equator the Eastern edge of this pool comes into contact with cooler water (24°C on average)... view more (1999-05-11)

Biogas production is all in the mixing
Engineers at Washington University in St. Louis, using an impressive array of imaging and tracking technologies, have determined the importance of mixing in anaerobic digesters for bioenergy production and animal and farm waste treatment.   view more (2008-04-17)

Long-term Outcome After Intravenous Thrombolysis of Basilar Artery Occlusion
Occlusion of the basilar artery (BAO) is a relatively infrequent but the most catastrophic form of ischemic stroke with a dismal natural course, carrying from 85 to almost 95 % mortality. Complete BAO precipitates a sudden or gradually worsening clinical syndrome with bilateral motor weaknesses,... view more (2004-10-21)
