The technique—known as emergency preservation and resuscitation (EPR)—is being trialled at the University of Maryland Medical Center in Baltimore on patients who arrive with injuries such as stab or gunshot wounds and have gone into cardiac arrest, as well as having lost more than half their blood, New Scientist reported. Normally, patients in this condition only have a less than 5 percent chance of living and surgeons only have a window of few minutes to save them....

Swagger supports both JSON and XML payloads. The documentation it generates is suitable for developers and non-developers to use. You can document your NestJS web APIs via Swagger using simple decorators, without having to leave your IDE. Step 1: Generating the API Before starting, you must create a demo API that Swagger will generate its documentation. You will generate the demo API from scratch using the NestJS CLI. Firstly, generate a new NestJS project by running:...

What Is Bloatware? Your smartphone will come with a lot of pre-installed apps and services. However, not all of them should be termed bloatware. Some are utility apps like the clock, contacts list, and compass that you may require in daily use. As for bloatware, they are apps that send spam notifications, silently steal your data, or unnecessarily run in the background and hog precious resources. These apps do more harm than good....

Currently, the Davis Cup is structured around a 16-nation World Group, contested over four weekends during the year. The remaining countries are then divided into three regional zones. The International Tennis Federation’s controversial revamp would see the Davis Cup morph into a World Cup of Tennis final featuring 18 countries – and address complaints that the heavy time commitment drives away the top players. The proposal must win approval at the federation’s annual general meeting in Orlando, Florida later this month....

The reigning men’s singles champion in Paris, Djokovic announced on Sunday that he would enlist the help of fellow former world number one Agassi in a bid to recapture his best form. And the duo were pictured together at Roland Garros on Thursday, with Agassi offering advice to his new pupil in a training session on Court 5. When Djokovic won the French Open 12 months ago, he was the dominant figure on the ATP World Tour....

The one constant has been Sergry Kovalev. Since winning the WBO title for the first time against Nathan Cleverly in Aug. 2013, “The Krusher” has gone 10-2, with eight of those wins coming by stoppage, and defeated Hopkins to become the unified champion in a one-sided beating in 2014. Now, there is a new kid on the block and he’s coming after Kovalev. His name? Dmitry Bivol. Bivol (13-0, 11 KOs) looks to defend his WBA title for the fifth time when he takes on former Kovalev foe, Isaac Chilemba, on Saturday evening (10 p....

Researchers are trying to figure out how we might need to change our public health strategies for combatting COVID, including vaccines and boosters, to fight XBB, as well as any future variants. Here’s what experts want you to know about the new bivalent COVID boosters and XBB.1.5. Why XBB.1.5 Is Tricky to Fight XBB 1.5’s rapid spread suggests that the virus has changed in ways that make it better at evading immune responses—and that means the measures we need to take to fight it might have to change too....

Logic suggests that laptops will be the next major form factor to embrace high refresh rates. Again, gaming devices have been the early adopters here, sporting displays all the way up to 300Hz. It feels like only a matter of time before this filters its way to everyday consumer devices. However, we might have to be patient. The coronavirus pandemic has sent demand for laptops skyrocketing, and even now the education sector is reporting shortages of suitable devices for homeschooling....

But while these are worrying, what about viruses? Are they still a threat? Do I need antivirus on my PC or laptop? Unfortunately, they are. According to AV-Test, over 450,000 new malicious programs and potentially unwanted applications are discovered every day. Every day. That is an awful lot of bad stuff which you don’t want anywhere near your computer. Antivirus software is of course the way to keep it safe, and modern antivirus apps usually do a lot more than simply watch out for and block viruses....

If you are undergoing chemotherapy for cancer treatment, it is usually recommended that you wear a condom for at least two days after treatment during any type of intercourse (vaginal, anal, or oral). Your healthcare provider may even advise for a longer time period. This is to prevent your partner from being exposed to any chemotherapy toxins that may be present in your semen. Even though your partner is using an effective form of birth control, your healthcare provider may advise you to use a condom throughout treatment....

Raimi is renowned for directing both the Evil Dead and Spider-Man trilogies. With the former, he revolutionized low-budget indie horror cinema. With the latter, he revolutionized big-budget comic book movies. If Multiverse of Madness promises to be a combination of the two, Raimi is the best man for the job. When Solo: A Star Wars Story lost its original directors due to their idiosyncratic voice, Ron Howard was hired to turn it into a safe, bland, middle-of-the-road sci-fi actioner....

Dr. Bobby Mukkamala told Newsweek he had been “an advocate for taking COVID seriously from the beginning” in the state’s Genesee County. Mukkamala has been involved in raising awareness about vaccines and testing, as well as safety protocols and protective equipment, in the city of Flint, where he works as an ear, nose and throat specialist. He has spoken in favor of using masks in schools, a stance that he says has made him an “enemy” of the city’s anti-mask contingent who have dubbed him “Flint’s Fauci” or “Mukkamala-Fauci....

In American College of Pediatricians v. Becerra, attorneys from the non-profit legal organization Alliance Defending Freedom are representing members from the American College of Pediatricians, the Catholic Medical Associates and OB-GYN Jeanie Dassow, all of who are objecting to performing gender transition procedures on any patient, including children. The suit, filed against the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Office for Civil Rights of the HHS, specifically names Xavier Becerra, the secretary of the HHS, and Robinsue Frohboese, acting director and principal deputy of the Office for Civil Rights of the HHS....

In the early hours of January 28, a transplant team from Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis, Missouri, had to fly around 300 miles to Chicago to collect a pair of lungs for a dying patient, 67-year-old Mitchell Reynolds. Surgeon Dr. Michael Pasque picked up the lungs at around 4:30 a.m., St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported. As what are known as thoracic organs such as the lungs and heart are only viable outside of the body for 4 to 6 hours, the team didn’t have long to get back to the hospital....

The Dodgers are poised to reach the MLB World Series, leading the reigning champions 3-0 heading into Wednesday’s game four. If there is anyone who knows something about being in a 3-0 hole in a postseason series it would be Roberts, who was a member of the 2004 Boston Red Sox team that was down 3-0 to the New York Yankees and came back to win the American League Championship Series in seven games....

So, what would have happened if Arjun was to face up Ku Bon-Chan today? Or if we were to put together an all-time archery team, how would have the duo of Arjuna & Karna (another ace archer from Mahabharata) fared against the Rio Olympics gold-winning South Korean team? My questions might sound absurd to many of you. People will argue that the times are different and it may not be correct to compare people who had lived thousands of years ago with today’s generation....
