Golden Hour Bundle of Interventions Boosts Outcomes for High-Risk Preterm Infants
WASHINGTON — A multidisciplinary quality improvement (QI) team successfully and safely adhered to a golden hour bundle of interventions for high-risk preterm infants, a researcher said here. Adherence to the bundle also led to reduced rates of severe hypothermia and reduced time to antibiotic administration, as well as a boost to early initiation of IV […]
Shapeshifting microrobots can brush and floss teeth: Hands-free system could effectively automate the treatment and removal of tooth-decay-causing bacteria and dental plaque, research shows
A shapeshifting robotic microswarm may one day act as a toothbrush, rinse, and dental floss in one. The technology, developed by a multidisciplinary team at the University of Pennsylvania, is poised to offer a new and automated way to perform the mundane but critical daily tasks of brushing and flossing. It’s a system that could […]
Terahertz imaging reveals hidden inscription on early modern funerary cross
In a multidisciplinary project, researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology and Georgia Tech-Lorraine used terahertz imaging and signal processing techniques to look beneath the corroded surface of a 16th-century lead funerary cross. Led by David Citrin, a professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), the effort brought together imaging scientists, a […]
