The combined use of antiretroviral medications lopinavir and ritonavir, previously used to treat SARS-Cov-1 and MERS-Cov patients, appeared to cause bradycardia in 22% of elderly, critically ill COVID-19 patients, in a small study in France. Bradycardia was resolved in all patients after discontinuation or dose reduction of both medications.

Women who deliver their first child by cesarean section (C-section) are less likely to conceive a second child than those who deliver vaginally, despite being just as likely to plan a subsequent pregnancy, according to researchers.

Most binary systems include two comparably sized neutron stars locked in a fiercely tight orbit. But PSR J1913+1102 contains a pair of mismatched neutron stars — one of them a pulsar — with masses that are 1.62 and 1.27 times the mass of the Sun. That makes it "the most asymmetric merging system reported so far," according to a study published Wednesday in the journal Nature detailing the system and its impending…

Pressures put on the cellular networks during this time of pandemic has resulted in some looking to space for more reliable communications. And it's never been easier to put together a private satellite network.

Neutron stars are an end state of stellar evolution, says astrophysicist Paul Lasky, at Australia's Monash University and OzGrav.

A study contains bad news and good news about Covid-19 misinformation -- and a new insight that may help reduce the problem.

Microbes found deeper in the ocean are believed to have slow population turnover rates and low amounts of available energy. But a new examination of microbial communities found deeper in seafloor sediments and around hydrocarbon seepage sites has found they have more energy available and a higher population turnover. The deeper sediments in the seepages are most likely heavily impacted by the material coming up…

Researchers are developing an A.I. platform that provides users with access to the information and insights hidden inside federal court records, regardless of their data and analytic skills.
