Cause of Blurry Vision on Long Space Missions Found
Scientists studying the cause of visual impairments suffered by astronauts during long space missions have discovered that the problem is related to changes in the volume of Cerebro-Spinal Fluid (CSF), flattening of the eyeballs, and increased protrusion of the optic nerves. More...17 Jan 2017



Increased NIV Molecular Imaging Technologies Needed for Cancer Care
According to researchers in the US, new molecular imaging technologies can facilitate the diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of cancer, while at the same time reducing the frequency of unnecessary or ineffective therapies and minimizing side effects. More...10 Jan 2017
