Eclipse Prediction on the Ancient Greek Astronomical Calculating Machine Known as the Antikythera Mechanism
The ancient Greek astronomical calculating machine, known as the Antikythera Mechanism, predicted eclipses, based on the 223-lunar month Saros cycle.

Usually, 60– 80% of total blood flow passes to the submucosal and mucosal layers, providing nutrients and oxygen to the highly metabolically active epithelial, immune, and vascular endothelial cells. The mucosal layer of the gastrointestinal tract serves as an important barrier against chemica...

According to one theory, the part of the brain that says, “That’ll feel good—go for it” matures before the part that says, “Hold on, there could be a downside here.” Another theory hold...

However, what has brought those cells to the site of injury, for most forms of vasculitis remains a mystery. Might the etiology of at least certain forms of vasculitis be related to generation of neoantigens in the native vessel, making that vessel the ...
