3D imaging reveals neural 'vicious cycle' in fatty liver diseaseJuly 22, 2021 at 12:00 AM With the application of a novel three-dimensional imaging technology, researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have discovered that one portion of the autonomic nervous system in the liver undergoes severe degeneration in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. The study, which is conducted in mice and human liver tissue, shows that the degeneration of nerves is correlated with the severity of liver pathology. The results are being published in the journal Science Advances.Tags: Science, Sweden, Karolinska Institutet 23 people like this.

Like MRI can cut overdiagnoses in prostate-cancer screening by halfJuly 9, 2021 at 12:00 AM Most countries have not introduced nationwide prostate-cancer screening, as current methods result in overdiagnoses and excessive and unnecessary biopsies. A new study by researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden, which is published in The New England Journal of Medicine, indicates that screening by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and targeted biopsies could potentially cut overdiagnoses by half. The results are presented today at the European Association of Urology Congress.Tags: Science, Sweden, New England Journal of Medicine, Karolinska Institutet 7 people like this.

Like Drug dissolved net-like structures in airways of severely ill COVID-19 patientsJuly 1, 2021 at 12:00 AM When researchers at Lund University in Sweden performed advanced analyses of sputum from the airways of severely ill Covid-19 patients, they found high levels of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). It is already a known fact that NETs can contribute to sputum thickness, severe sepsis-like inflammation and thrombosis. After being treated with an already existing drug, the NETs were dissolved and patients improved. The study has now been published in Molecular & Cellular Proteomics.Tags: Science, Sweden, Lund University 31 people like this.

Like During epic migrations, great snipes fly at surprising heights by day and lower by nightJune 30, 2021 at 12:00 AM A stocky marsh bird with a 20-inch wingspan, great snipes are also speedy marathoners that can migrate from Sweden to Central Africa in just three days, without stopping to eat, drink, or sleep. Now, researchers find that snipes also rise nearly 2,500 meters in elevation at dawn and descend again at dusk each day, perhaps to avoid overheating from daytime solar radiation by climbing higher. The findings appear June 30 in the journal Current Biology.Tags: Science, Sweden, Central Africa 21 people like this.
