ONWARD Announces Publication in Nature Demonstrating Blood Pressure Stabilization in People with Spinal Cord Injury
ONWARD today announced the publication of a study in the journal,
Nature, which found targeted electrical spinal cord stimulation stabilizes blood pressure in people with spinal cord injury (SCI). A serious and underrecognized result of spinal cord injury is unstable blood pressure, which can have devastating consequences that reduce quality of life and are life threatening. Unfortunately, there are no effective therapies for unstable blood pressure after spinal cord injury, said Dr. Aaron Phillips, PhD, a member of the Hotchkiss Brain Institute and Libin Cardiovascular Institute at the Cumming School of Medicine (CSM) and co-lead author of the study. We created the first platform to understand the mechanisms underlying blood pressure instability after spinal cord injury, which allowed us to develop a new cutting-edge solution.
Space debris is an essential part of space exploration that is seldom discussed despite its far-reaching effects.
It is quite troubling to think that there is an enormous amount of human-generated waste just floating about in the orbit. (I mean it’s bad enough that we’ve polluted the Earth this much already, but now space too?). These particles in space pose a big risk to space projects
if not presently, in the future.
Many space agencies across the world have worked to clean up space debris and vastly reduce, if not eliminate, the amount of space debris we create. We’ve seen
