Exhaustive pipeline analysis reveals that coronary heart disease, Alzheimer's disease, breast cancer, and bone metastasis will drive the diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals market, whereas lymphoma, prostate cancer, bone metastasis, and hepatocellular carcinoma will boost the future of therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals.
Mosquito mouthparts are very specialized, particularly those of the females, which in most species are adapted to piercing skin and then sucking blood. Apart from bloodsucking, the females generally also drink assorted fluids rich in dissolved sugar, such as nectar and honeydew, to obtain the energy they need.
One model guesses that after prey is taken down with a saber-tooth's claws, it rips open the abdomen to cause massive blood loss and death. Perhaps a group of saber-tooths would take down a wooly mammoth (or other megafauna) and then wait for it to bleed out before feeding. Another good hypothesis is that once prey is already held still after being taken down, a solid bite to the throat would quickly take out the windpipe and arteries in many mammals.
