Antares' size/Sun's size = (5840/3340)2 Ã Sqrt[9120] = 3.057 Ã 95.5 = 292. Antares is almost 300 times the size of the Sun! If the Sun were replaced by Antares, the inner planets Mercury, Venus, and Earth would be inside Antares! It is a red giant star---a star close to death.
The Modified Medical Research Council Dyspnea Scale, or MMRC, uses a simple grading system to assess a patient's level of dyspnea -- shortness of breath. This scale doesn't define the sensation of breathlessness per se, but rather the degree of disability that such breathlessness poses on day-to-day activities.
Together, the BCRC and CRC comprise all Coordination of Benefits & Recovery (COB&R) activities. The most current contact information can be found on the Contacts page. Additional information regarding the MSP program as well as COB and recovery activities can be found in the menu to the left.
