Although compression stockings are popular among runners, there is no scientific proof that they improve workout performance. Muscle oxygenation in the stocking wearer's lower leg is lowered during running. This is shown in a Doctoral thesis from the University of Gothenburg in Sweden.
The study has revealed that multiple blood biomarkers were sufficient in identifying Alzheimer's disease pathology, even in participants with no symptoms.
Intracerebral hemorrhage is the most serious type of stroke with few treatment options. About one in ten cases of stroke is an intracerebral hemorrhage, a condition caused by bleeding within the brain tissue, with high risk of death and disability.
Gothenburg [Sweden], October 19 (ANI): Sea ice in the Arctic Ocean is melting as a result of climate change. According to a study published in the journal Science and co-authored by researchers from the University of Gothenburg, carbon dioxide intake increases and disrupts the aquatic food chain when the Arctic ocean loses its sea ice cover.
Gothenburg [Sweden], September 28 (ANI): The potential of rainforests to store carbon may diminish as a result of climate change. This is because photosynthesis rates in rainforest species' leaves decrease at higher temperatures, and the trees' natural cooling systems fail during droughts. Increased heat endangers animals that store the most carbon. A new thesis from the University of Gothenburg demonstrates this.
Gothenburg [Sweden], September 20 (ANI): Planning is necessary to promote the sustainable development of marine habitats, just as there has long been spatial planning for operations on land. Researchers from the University of Gothenburg and other institutions are now demonstrating that marine planning must take climate change into account, which it does not at the moment. According to the researchers' calculations, temperature and salt content changes may affect ecosystems and species more than all other environmental factors combined.
Gothenburg [Sweden], July 22 (ANI): Shortly after infection, patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 develop protective immune responses mediated by virus-specific T cells and antibodies. However, there is concern that immunity does not last, which could result in severe COVID-19 infection upon re-infection.
Washington [US], July 10 (ANI): According to a recent research of more than 500,000 people discovered that people are at higher risk of dying prematurely from any reason, who add extra salt to their cooked food at the table.
Gothenburg [Sweden], June 28 (ANI): According to a recent study by the University of Gothenburg revealed that vertebral compression fractures are very common among older people, and those with such fractures are at higher risk of incurring new ones. The research also stated that an X-ray method should be introduced as a routine procedure in Swedish health care with the help that more elderly patients can then be treated and given the most efficacious drugs on time.
Gothenburg [Sweden], June 20 (ANI): According to research done at the University of Gothenburg, a small lowering of the groundwater level can destroy the foundation of a house. The thesis shows that wooden pile foundations show visible damage after only a year if the groundwater level lowers. Johanna Elam conducted research to find it out.
