Using colloids (starches; dextrans; or albumin or FFP) compared to crystalloids for fluid replacement probably makes little or no difference to the number of critically ill people who die. It may make ...

When a solution has a higher osmolarity, it is considered to be hyperosmolar. The effect causes cells to shrink as fluid shifts from inside to outside of the cell.

Nanoconfinement can drastically change the behavior of liquids, puzzling us with counterintuitive properties. It is relevant in applications, including decontamination and crystallization control.

Lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMS) have been recently developed to improve treatment outcomes in the endoscopic management of pancreatic fluid collections (PFC), particularly in walled-off necrosis ...

Macrophage immunometabolism, the changes in intracellular metabolic pathways that alter the function of these highly plastic cells, has been the subject of intense interest in the past few years, in ...

Lily Phillips has shared a new video with plenty of behind-the-scenes details about her "fluid bank" challenge. Read on at your own risk.

However, at high, liquidlike loadings, the self-diffusion coefficients for pristine and defective nanotubes are very similar, indicating that fluid–fluid collisions dominate the dynamics over the ...
