Offering children to play a Virtual Reality (VR) game while drawing blood can significantly reduce their perception of acute pain, anxiety and general distress, new research has found. Continue reading VR game may reduce pain while drawing blood
Indian-born scientist attempts treating hearts via urban forests
Indian-born scientist Aruni Bhatnagar is all set to install a $14.50 million “unique urban laboratory” in the US that will study the effect of green plantations on combating cardiovascular diseases. His research interests include cardiovascular effects of environmental pollutants, atherosclerosis, injury from loss of blood to the heart muscle, cardiovascular complications of diabetes and sepsis. Continue reading Indian-born scientist attempts treating hearts via urban forests
Novel temperature-regulating nanoparticles might treat cancer
Scientists have in a breakthrough developed “intelligent” nanoparticles that have the potential to heat up to a level high enough to kill cancerous cells, but then also self-regulate the temperature and cool down before harming the healthy tissues. Continue reading Novel temperature-regulating nanoparticles might treat cancer
