CO capture and storage in geological reservoirs have the potential to significantly mitigate the effects of anthropogenic gas emissions on global climate. Here, we report the results of the first laboratory experiments of CO injection in continental flood basalts of South America. The results show that the analyzed basalts have a mineral assemblage, texture and composition that efficiently allows a fast carbonate precipitation that starts 72 h after injection.

However, artificial joints fail over time, requiring revision associated with higher mortality and inferior outcomes. With more young people presenting with knee OA and increasing life expectancy, there is an unmet need to postpone time to first KR.

The patient was treated with immunotherapy and cytoreductive surgery. This paper discusses the implications of these novel therapies for the management of PM.

An early development study was undertaken with the aim of exploring the feasibility of self-administered, noninvasive vagus nerve stimulation (nVNS) after major colorectal surgery.
Method: A parallel-group, randomized controlled trial was undertaken between 1 January 2018 and 31 August 2019.
