Researchers from Lund University in Sweden have studied whether severe perineal tears – known as sphincter injuries – are reduced if the primary midwife has assistance of a colleague during the final stage of labour.
A new study from Lund University in Sweden on how the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine affects human liver cells under experimental conditions, has been viewed more than 800,000 times in just over a week.
New research ties inaccuracies in pulse oximeter readings to racial disparities in treatment and outcomes.
Algorithms designed to ensure multiple users share a network fairly can’t prevent some users from hogging all the bandwidth.
Inspired by a fiddler crab eye, scientists developed an amphibious artificial vision system with a panoramic visual field.
Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have succeeded in developing a simple hydrocarbon molecule with a logic gate function, similar to that in transistors, in a single molecule.
In a recent study from Lund University in Sweden, researchers discovered that metabolic changes affect how blood cells are formed during embryonic development. They found a previously unknown metabolic switch with a key role in how different types of blood cells develop. This means blood cell formation can be directed towards producing natural killer cells in the laboratory to ultimately be used in a new anti-cancer treatment.
Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have compared the effects of intravenous ketamine treatment with ECT treatment in severe depression. The results support the view that ketamine is a possible treatment, but also show that ECT treatment helps more people.
Sophisticated systems for the detection of biomarkers — molecules such as DNA or proteins that indicate the presence of a disease — are crucial for real-time diagnostic and disease-monitoring devices.
Unlike other marine mammals, male California sea lions have gotten bigger over the past 50 years as their population has grown
Still a good boy nearly 100 years after historic sled run, Balto has now helped scientists explore the genetics of working dogs and demonstrate the power of comparative genomics
A new device, which doesn’t rely on immunosuppressing drugs, may assist efforts to develop an artificial pancreas to treat diabetes.
The paper test measures the level of neutralizing antibodies in a blood sample and could help people decide what protections they should take against infection.
Brainwave patterns show elephant seals take short naps while holding their breath on deep dives, averaging just 2 hours of sleep per day while at sea
An international team of scientists has documented the earliest evidence for local abundance in eastern Africa of the types of grasses that now dominate grassland and savannah ecosystems in tropical and subtropical regions around the world.
The MIT researcher and former professor discusses how Covid-19 and the influx of virtual technologies created a new medical ecosystem that needs more synchronized oversight.
Many fields of study have long been dominated by men but a team of eight female Colombian researchers are committed to uncovering the story of naturalist pioneer Elizabeth Kerr, whose legacy had remained invisible despite her vast contributions to ornithology.
Across Silicon Valley and beyond, tech entrepreneurs are making big promises to disrupt our diets. Their aim is to tackle global hunger, climate change, and animal welfare issues by replacing meat with alternative proteins derived from increasingly far-out sources, like insect larvae, plastic waste, or even thin air.
New understanding of how the transporter protein cystinosin functions may lead to better treatments for a devastating genetic disease
By modeling the conditions of an entire wind farm rather than individual turbines, engineers can squeeze more power out of existing installations.
