SS:  Liquid Plumber For Your Blood Vessels.

Researchers have developed these tiny particles that seek out blood clots and dissolves them. As we all know blood clots cause all kinds of bad times including strokes and that's no good for anyone.


Looking for a better approach, biomedical engineer Donald Ingber of Harvard University and colleagues turned to nanoparticles. Modeled after platelets—cells that circulate in the blood and help stop bleeding by forming clots—the nanoparticles are less than 100 nm wide and made of synthetic polymers stuck together like a ball of wet sand. Like platelets, clumps of the particles flow freely in the blood and gravitate toward blocked vessels by sensing a change in blood flow. Once there, they break apart into individual particles that stick to the clot, releasing a drug called tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) that dissolves it.

Science Sunday:  Live For 15 To 30 Minutes Without Breathing

So researchers have come up with this "potion" of gas filled microparticles that can oxygenate blood quickly. So you have a blocked trachea they can inject this and have 15 to 30 minutes to get shit done without the risk of cardiac arrest or brain damage. This is some cool ass futuristic shit right here.


John Kheir, MD, of the Department of Cardiology at Boston 
Children's Hospital says,

"The microparticle solutions are portable and could stabilize patients in emergency situations, buying time for paramedics, emergency clinicians or intensive care clinicians to more safely place a breathing tube or perform other life-saving therapies." 
"This is a short-term oxygen substitute -- a way to safely inject oxygen gas to support patients during a critical few minutes," he says. "Eventually, this could be stored in syringes on every code cart in a hospital, ambulance or transport helicopter to help stabilize patients who are having difficulty breathing."

Awesome Punisher Fan Film 'Dirty Laundry'




So here is a great Punisher fan film with Thomas Jane returning to the role. I loved Thomas Jane as Frank Castle and thought 'The Punisher' was a great film. Ron Perlman is also in it and it has some great Punisher style violence. Here's what Jane had to say about the film.


"I wanted to make a fan film for a character I've always loved and believed in - a love letter to Frank Castle & his fans. It was an incredible experience with everyone on the project throwing in their time just for the fun of it. It's been a blast to be a part of from start to finish -- we hope the friends of Frank enjoy watching it as much as we did making it." -- Thomas Jane

Ron Perlman Makes A Boy's Dream Come True As Hellboy.

Spectral Motion and Ron Perlman teamed up with Make-A-Wish to make little Zachary's dream come true. Zachary wanted to meet and become Hellboy. Ron Perlman is one of my favorite actors and this makes me love him all the more. More pictures after the break.


Zachary loved his visit for two very special reasons. It was Zachary's wish to meet Hellboy and also to become Hellboy. When the Make-A-Wish Foundation contacted Spectral Motion with this request, Mike thought it would be fantastic to have Ron Perlman reprise his role for the day. Ron loved the idea and donned the makeup once more (with the assistance of Lufeng Qu and Eden Elizalde) and also ordered a Hellboy sized meal of burgers, shakes, and fries for Zachary and his family and the entire Spectral crew to enjoy. Later in the day, Zachary was transformed into Hellboy with the assistance of makeup artists Lufeng Qu and Neil Winn. Both of the Make-A-Wish days were a complete thrill for the families of the children, as well as for the crew at Spectral Motion!
