Radiographically they can be variable in size, cystic/solid or mixed and with or without calcifications. Common signs and symptoms of SRM include anemia, jaundice, scrotal hematoma and abdominal mass. Signs of asphyxia may also occur. Often patients whose diagnosis is not clear are monitored closely for a few weeks to see how the lesion changes with time. This is e...

mad scientists
—and indeed, it wouldn’t be out of place among other recent setups that let
fruit flies ride on a carousel
or
spun locusts in a centrifuge
. But like those experiments, this tiny virtual reality (VR) flight simulator has a deeper purpose. Here, resea...
