...runs from deep within the glacier - which warms just enough in the Antarctic summer that it melts. Freed up after 1,500 millennia of absolute blackness and utter cold, the water at first seemed completely sterile. "When I started running chemical analysis on it," says Mikucki, "there was no oxygen...
...bare office in the hospital, Dr Phanareth monitors patients via a pulse oximeter device and a spirometer device (for lung function) that are blue-tooth enabled and linked through a secure web connection to the hospital. Using videoconference technology, he can guide the patients on whether to administer oxygen, nebulizer therapy and other treatments. "Usually when a doctor wants to do a study like this he comes across red tape and funding difficulties. But because the political wind is blowing our way in Denmark, it's extremely easy for us to get permission for this sort of work," Phanareth says...
...really remember the next 75 meters; only throwing myself at the pile of soldiers huddled between the humvee and the mountainside. Mortars coming from the Korengal outpost lit up the sky in flashes. I could see a tangle of limbs and chests heaving to suck in oxygen. The smell of sweat intermingled with the scent of the mountain sage bushes we were crushing under our cumulative weight. My head rang with the sound of returning fire coming from the guy on my left as he aimed at the darkness below. Adam Ferguson, TIME's photographer, actually stood up to take...
Most dietary interventions work by checking methogens - microbes that thrive in oxygen-free environments like cows' guts, where they convert the available hydrogen and carbon (by-products of digestion) into methane, a colorless, odorless gas. "We encourage well-to-do farmers to use oilseed cakes, which provide unsaturated fatty acids that get rid of the hydrogen," Singhal says. Another solution is herbal additives. Some commonly used Indian herbs such as shikakai and reetha, which go into making soap, and many kinds of oilseeds contain saponins and tannins, substances that make for lathery, bitter meals but block hydrogen availability for methogens...
When cancerous cells form a tumor and begin to grow uncontrollably, they need to induce the formation of new blood vessels to bring them oxygen and nutrients—a process known as angiogenesis. A team of researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital has discovered that the main effects of an angiogenesis inhibitor in treating glioblastoma, a severe kind of brain tumor, stem from the reduction of brain swelling, rather than any effect on tumor growth. In these tumors, blood vessels can be leaky, which causes swelling in the brain known as edema. This, in turn, can cause drowsiness, loss...
