Early steroids improve outcomes in patients with septic shock

Some critically ill patients with septic shock need medications called vasopressors to correct dangerously low blood pressure. When high doses of vasopressors are needed or blood pressure isn't responding well, the steroid hydrocortisone is often used. In this situation, earlier treatment with hydrocortisone reduces the risk of death and other adverse outcomes, reports a study in SHOCK®: Injury, Inflammation, and Sepsis: Laboratory and Clinical Approaches, Official Journal of the Shock Society. The journal is published in the Lippincott portfolio by Wolters Kluwer.

Excessive lung release of neutrophil DNA traps may explain severe complications in Covid-19 patients

Researchers from the University of Liège (Belgium) has detected significant amounts of DNA traps in distinct compartments of the lungs of patients who died from Covid-19. These traps, called NETs, are released massively into the airways, the lung tissue and the blood vessels. Such excessive release could be a major contributor to severe disease complications leading to in-hospital death. These results are published this week in the Journal of Experimental Medicine.

Glacier twice the size of Manhattan breaks off the Arctic's largest ice shelf

Climate change is warming more than just the U.S.'s west coast. Up north in Greenland, a 42-square-mile glacier broke off the Arctic's largest remaining ice shelf as ocean temperatures continue to warm. The Spalte Glacier has been disintegrating for several years, and after another year of record highs, finished its break this summer, BBC reports. The Spalte Glacier was a piece of Nioghalvfjerdsfjorden, a massive ice shelf at the end of Northeast Greenland Ice Stream. It only recently became the largest remaining ice shelf as others also began to melt in warming waters. But it's starting to lose its area as well, as the part Greenland surrounding the ice stream has warmed by about 5.4 degrees Fahrenheit since 1980. Satellite imagery had shown the Spalte Glacier offshoot cracking since 2013, Business Insider notes. The broken Spalte Glacier and remaining ice shelf will only continue to melt as runoff water from melting pools on top of the ice. ❄️ The #Arctic's largest remaining ice shelf is experiencing the effects…

Venus brings the joy back to discovery

Venus has been described as "Earth's evil twin" and "a fiery wasteland." Now it has a surprising new attribute, according to scientists: possible home of extraterrestrial life. While even Venus apologists admit that the planet is the "literal interpretation of a mythical hellscape," with temperatures that exceed 800°F and poisonous gases that would kill you in seconds, on Monday astronomers confirmed the discovery of a chemical, phosphine, in the morning star's atmosphere. "On Earth, certain microbes that thrive in oxygen-free environments, like at a sewage plant, are believed to produce the chemical," CNET explains. "The gas is highly toxic to humans and smells like decaying fish." (An MIT professor who spoke with NPR was less polite, describing it as smelling like "the rancid diapers of the spawn of Satan"). What's so cool about this smelly deadly rotting fish gas, though, is that "after much analysis, the scientists assert that something now alive is the only explanation" for Venus' levels of phosphine, The…

Why there are so few images of Venus' surface

In the search for extraterrestrial life within the Earth's solar system, it's Venus, not Mars, that's emerging as the leading candidate. On Monday, scientists revealed they detected traces of phosphine, a toxic gas that is produced by microorganisms on Earth, high in Venus' atmosphere. To be clear, there's only evidence of phosphine, not life itself. Theoretically, the gas could be forged by a chemical process scientists haven't seen before, but Clara Sousa-Silva, a molecular astrophysicist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and one of the study's authors, said life — likely microbes in the clouds — is the "most plausible explanation" for now. On its face, the news is pretty surprising given that, as The Atlantic describes, Venus is a "planet-sized furnace" where surface temperatures hover around 860 degrees. There are very few photos of the planet's surface, save for a few taken in the 1980s by probes deployed by the Soviet Union. The images show a barren, rocky wasteland beneath an apocalyptic sky…
