Ultrasound, Nanodroplets to Be Used in Eliminating Difficult Blood Clots

Every year, anywhere from 300,000 to 600,000 individuals are affected by deep vein thromboses in the United States. One of the major obstacles of vascular surgery has been penetrating extensive and compacted blood clots. This is mainly because the retracted clots are of low porosity and high density. While there are tools such as catheter-based devices that have been created for that specific purpose and are being used today, the challenge still presents itself in patients with plaques that are too difficult to penetrate, even for the best devices in existence. However, there may be an alternative as researchers from…

Researchers Discover Why Lungs Are Severely Affected by Virus-Related Attacks

A new study conducted by researchers from Sweden’s Karolinska Institutet describes how macrophages, which are different kinds of immune cells, can develop in the lungs and cause serious lung diseases. Macrophages have many functions in the body, including protecting the lungs from attacks by bacteria and viruses. The lungs’ structure exposes them to both these pathogens through blood and air. However, under specific conditions, the macrophages can also cause severe lung disease such as the coronavirus and COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). However, research on human lung macrophages development is scanty. Macrophages develop from a type of white blood cell…
