The Outside Story: Yellow Birch – A long-lived Northern forest tree Published: 5/9/2021 7:30:04 PM One summer, I took a nature drawing class, and we hiked up Vermont’s Stowe Pinnacle to sketch in the cool, mountain forest. I chose to draw a big yellow birch that had established itself on the steep slope. For a couple of hours, I stared at the base of the tree, trying to capture its intricate detail: the way the trunk leaned to the right and its large, supporting roots spread over the ground; the variable colors, patterns, and textures of its bark; a hole at the base that might be home to a mouse or chipmunk. I wondered how old the tree was and what it had witnessed in its lifetime from its perch on the mountainside. ....
Posted April 12, 2021 • Atlanta, GA In a fortuitous case of mistaken chemical identity, a team of Georgia Tech bioengineers has discovered a promising new way to treat dangerous blood clots without the potentially harmful side effects of other clot-busting drugs. “It was a happy accident,” said David Ku, Regents’ professor in the George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering. “This is something we’ve been working on for the past four years, and we’re still sort of scratching our heads.” Ku and his collaborators explain their “happy accident” in the open access journal Their research is driven by the need for a better thrombolytic agent – a safer, more efficient treatment for breaking down clots in the immediate wake of a catastrophic event. When a clot develops in an artery – arterial thrombosis – it can stop the flow of blood to major organs, often leading to a stroke or heart attac ....
For bleeding patients, can cold storage of platelets improve blood clotting? $26 million in funding to help determine whether cold platelets can reduce blood loss more effectively than those stored at room temperature The image illustrates platelets, which are essential for normal blood clotting in the body. Platelets are the focus of a large, multicenter study led by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and the University of Minnesota Medical School in Minneapolis. The researchers want to know whether maintaining platelets in cold storage is as effective in reducing blood loss as platelets stored at room temperature and whether the shelf life of cold platelets can be safely extended to 21 days.
