Results of a phase I clinical trial released in STEM CELLS Translational Medicine shows there is a strong possibility that stem cells may alleviate lymphedema, a chronic debilitating condition affecting up to one in three women treated for breast cancer.
7 3D printing in health care has taken off, and Walter Reed National Military Medical Center (WRNMMC) has one of the most skilled and capable medical application centers (MAC), producing more than 1,000 products annually for beneficiaries and supporting military medicine.
Peter Liacouras, heads the five-person 3D MAC team, which is part of WRNMMC’s Department of Radiology. Liacouras recently received the 2020 SME Industry Achievement Award, which recognizes individuals and teams for accomplishments impacting the additive manufacturing industry, or any industry through the application of additive manufacturing technologies.
“I always say, ‘I don’t need to look far for motivation.’ I am proud to be serving in a position that supports those who protect our country and contributes to the health care of our service members,” said Liacouras, who holds a master’s degree and doctorate in biomedical engineering from Virginia Commonwealth University.

The case for wearing a face mask to protect against COVID-19 is strong. According to the latest scientific brief from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), face coverings can reduce the risk of coronavirus infection by more than 70%. But if wearing one face mask offers solid protection, does wearing two masks at the same time work even better? Some people have started double-masking to increase their odds of staying COVID-free, and the trend made us wonder what the science says. Here s what experts told us. Wearing two masks: what experts know right now

Wearing two masks: what experts know right now
At this time, very little scientific data points to any benefits or drawbacks of wearing more than one face mask, Scott Segal, MD, Thomas H. Irving professor and chair of anesthesiology at Wake Forest Baptist Health in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, tells
