CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) is an effective and stable solution for heart sparing radiotherapy of left sided breast cancer

Limiting the heart dose in left sided breast cancer radiotherapy is critical. We sought to study the effect of using CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) as an aid in reducing heart dose in breast cancer...

Targeting human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 enhances radiosensitivity and reduces the metastatic potential of Lewis lung carcinoma cells

Fri Mar 06, 2020 02:00

Sublethal radiation induces matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9)-mediated radioresistance in Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) cells and their metastatic dissemination. We aim to determine if EGFR/HER2 activation assoc...

One species to four: New analysis documents new bird diversity in the Pacific

New findings suggest several island bird populations in the Pacific that were previously designated as a single species actually comprise up to four distinct species. The results upend understanding of the islands' robin populations, which have been used as a textbook example of evolution since the 1940s. The new findings have important implications for conservation, as some of the newly-designated species live only on a few isolated islands.

העברית והנגיף קורונה

נָגיף או נְגיף – החלופה העברית למילה וירוס היא נְגִיף – המילה חודשה בהשראת המילה "מַגֵּפָה" (מן השורש נג"ף) המוזכרת לא מעט בתנ"ך במשמעות של מחלה המפילה חללים רבים. את המילה אפשר למצוא לפחות מראשית שנות ה־40 של המאה העשרים. (בעבר היו שהציעו את החלופות ארס או רעל). נְגִיף ולא "נָגִיף" – על פי החלטת האקדמיה יש להגות נְגִיף – בשווא ולא בקמץ. נְגִיף כמו נְחיר, רְכיב, שְׁריר, שְׁתִיל – מילים השקולות במשקל פְּעִיל, ונהגות כולם בשווא. הנגיף קורונה / נגיף הקורונה – התשובה על השאלה נגזרת ממעמדו של השם...
