Podcast: Talking Suicide with a Bipolar and a Schizophrenic
Suicide is something that most people think they understand, but there are many misconceptions about it. We say it’s a serious problem, yet will mention it casually and insensitively in certain settings. In this episode, our hosts openly discuss suicide and their personal stories with trying to end their own lives.

The Definition of Science
It ' s astonishing the rhetorical and cognitive contortions climate change deniers and flat earthers will go through to keep living in their fantasy world ' s. Climate science is incontrovertibly real science, which by rigorous and multiple lines of inquiry has reached conclusions as certain as any can be that humans, by spewing carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere, are causing overall warming of the troposphere and oceans. This in turn causes multiple changes in weather patterns including wetter and more powerful storms, more heat waves, droughts and associated wildfires, and severe ecological disruption, among ...

Introducing Advances in Aerodynamics
The blog post has been cross-posted from the SpringerOpen blog.
Aerodynamics is the study of motion of air, particularly about the interaction between air and solid body, such as flow around an aircraft. Its study is closely related to the theoretical advances in fluid dynamics and gas dynamics.
Traditional aerodynamics is about the study of flow field around objects of various shapes, evaluates the lift and drag, and models the wave interactions around a complex geometry for the external and internal flows. In recent decades, the research in aerodynamics has progressed into a new era. Interdisciplinary subjects have be...

A Guide to Logical Fallacies for Rejuvenation Research Advocates
The world has not yet rallied to the cause of defeating aging. Aging remains by far the greatest cause of suffering, pain, and death in this world, and yet it is accepted as set in stone by the vast majority of people. Few think of doing something about it. Little funding goes towards the research and development programs that could plausibly bring aging under medical control, indefinitely extending healthy life spans. Humanity spends more on sports stadiums than it does on addressing the impending death and drawn out, painful decline of everyone presently alive.
All of this is why, even as our community grows and w...

Safe MR jets in PTMC : They should be a central jet , can even be little more than mild !
Significant MR is a contraindication for PTMC. However, If MR jet is central , and mild (some times little more than mild as well ) PTMC can be safely done. The MR may not worsen .It may even disappear.
Note: Eccentric MR jets are indirect evidence for sub valvular disease. Its very likely to get worsened and may require a mitral valve replacement .
Here is patient with severe mitral stenosis, the MR is in all probability safe.
Angle of eccentricity
One must realise , the eccentricity of a jet is not very objective .What may appear as central jet in long axis may be wall hugging in 4 chamber view. This is very imp...

The Value of Our Mistakes
None of us like to fail. But some of us find it especially difficult to rebound from a mistake. We beat ourselves up for months, even years, rehashing our blunder. We ruminate about what we could have done differently. We are stuck on what we lost. However, with time, we often discover that our failures are packed full of blessings, that our errors open doors to surprising opportunities. Even if they don’t lead us to fame and fortune, our mistakes make us better people.

Diversity beyond gender — a new year pledge
You can read the original post Digital Science’s Medium blog.
Happy New Year! As we regret our former cheese-based life choices and get back into the swing of things, January is also a time to look forward and make resolutions. 2019 could be a year of great change and uncertainty. One topic never far from our minds is diversity and inclusion, specifically ensuring that ALL people are represented and heard. During this time of change, one way that we can achieve greater representation within research is to each commit to doing one small thing to change the current culture.

Microrobots Swim Through Vessels, Deform to Snake Through Tortuous Passageways
Researchers at Ecole polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne and ETH Zurich in Switzerland have developed tiny robots that could pave the way for advanced drug delivery. Inspired by bacteria, the microrobots can swim through fluids and modify their shape so as to pass through narrow blood vessels or intricate structures. The researchers hope that the devices could be useful in delivering drug cargoes to target tissues in the body.
Developing a microrobot that can successfully navigate vasculature is a significant challenge, with narrow, winding blood vessels providing plenty of places for a robot to get stuck. To address this...

No Pain, No Gain: R & D Challenges for Success of Microneedle Systems
Conclusion
Healthcare systems and patients increasingly make use of additional sensor data to monitor conditions and personalise treatments. The industry is also focussing on adherence to treatment as a key driver of improved health outcomes. And novel biologic drugs require different drug delivery systems for maximum effectiveness. Microneedle technology offers exciting prospects in all these areas, with the potential to transform patient outcomes.
Based on experience with microfluidic medical devices, we suggest that successful microneedle system development requires focus on application consistency, consideration of the...

Why You Might Need a Dose of Sugar in Your MRI
Sugar could become an effective replacement for metal in contrast agents in magnetic resonance tomography analyses, according to researchers from John Hopkins University and Lund University in Sweden.There has been heated debate over the safety of certain contrast agents, and the Food and Drug Administration has warnedthat gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) can linger in the brain for months or years after the patient ’s procedure. Using alternatives like sugar could potentially diminish the risk of adverse side effects associated with GBCAs. Studies using animals demonstrated that D-glucose could be a possible b...
