Hospital Vall dHebron Investigators Publish Early Data on Anaconda Biomeds Mechanical Thrombectomy System for Ischemic Stroke Initial single-center clinical study data supporting Anaconda Biomeds Advanced Neurovascular Access (ANA) Catheter System for the treatment of ischemic stroke have been published in the Journal of Neuroradiology by investigators at Hospital Vall dHebron in Barcelona. The hospital is participating in the multi-center SOLONDA ("SOL"itaire in combination with the ANA Cathet...

A new study has indicated that plants’ ability to absorb atmospheric carbon could be halved within the next two decades if global temperatures continue to rise at the current rate.

By examining a rock archive dating back 1.6 million years, researchers have found that melting icebergs in the Antarctic could have triggered chain reactions that led to previous ice ages.

The human organism requires a variety of small molecules, such as sugars or fats, in order to function properly.

Inherited or transmitted gut microbes affect skeletal development in animals Gut microbes passed from female mice to their offspring, or shared between mice that live together, may influence the animals bone mass, says a new study published today in eLife. The findings suggest that treatments which alter the gut microbiome could help improve bone structure or treat conditions that weaken bones, such as osteoporosis. Genetics account for most of the variability in human bone density, but non-ge...

Biologists reveal unusual structure of coronavirus protein linked to immune evasion A team of HIV researchers, cellular biologists, and biophysicists who banded together to support COVID-19 science determined the atomic structure of a coronavirus protein thought to help the pathogen evade and dampen response from human immune cells. The structural map – which is now published in the journal PNAS, but has been open-access for the scientific community since August – has laid the groundwork fo...

Clinicians at leading cardiac center report burnout and high levels of distress More than half the clinicians surveyed at the Peter Munk Cardiac Centre reported burnout and high levels of distress according to a series of studies published today in the Canadian Medical Association Journal Open (CMAJ-OPEN). In these studies carried out before the COVID-19 pandemic, 78% of nurses, 73% of allied health staff and 65% of physicians described experiencing burnout. In my 35 years as a physician I hav...

FAU researchers develop simplified, rapid SARS-CoV-2 detection protocol To properly monitor and help curb the spread of COVID-19, several millions of diagnostic tests are required daily in just the United States alone. There is still a widespread lack of COVID-19 testing in the U.S. and many of the clinical diagnostics protocols require extensive human labor and materials that could face supply shortages and present biosafety concerns. The current gold standard for COVID-19 diagnostic testing i...

Study: Nausea and vomiting symptoms during pregnancy start within a three day timeframe Jan 12 2021 Researchers from the University of Warwick have narrowed the time frame that nausea and vomiting during pregnancy will potentially start to just three days for most women, opening up the possibility for scientists to identify a biological cause for the condition. By measuring the onset of symptoms from a womans date of ovulation for the first time, rather than last menstrual period, they have dem...
