GLP-1 Receptor Agonists and Pre-Procedure Planning for Endoscopy

Aug 26, 2024 | hcplive.com | David Long

August 26, 2024With the growing popularity of GLP-1 receptor agonists, understanding their impact on gastric emptying, bowel motility, and potential implications for endoscopy is essential. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) such as semaglutide and tirzepatide have exploded in popularity for the treatment of both diabetes mellitus and obesity.
Multi-source connectivity as the driver of solar wind variability in the heliosphere - Nature Astronomy

May 27, 2024 | nature.com | Stephanie L. Yardley |David Brooks |Christopher Owen |David Long |Deb Baker |Mathew J. Owens | +8 more

AbstractThe ambient solar wind that fills the heliosphere originates from multiple sources in the solar corona and is highly structured. It is often described as high-speed, relatively homogeneous, plasma streams from coronal holes and slow-speed, highly variable, streams whose source regions are under debate. A key goal of ESA/NASA’s Solar Orbiter mission is to identify solar wind sources and understand what drives the complexity seen in the heliosphere.
A microfluidic platform integrating functional vascularized organoids-on-chip - Nature Communications

Feb 16, 2024 | nature.com | Gustav Jönsson |Jun Wang |Camille Laporte |David Long |Christophe Battail |Astrid Hagelkrüys | +2 more

AbstractThe development of vascular networks in microfluidic chips is crucial for the long-term culture of three-dimensional cell aggregates such as spheroids, organoids, tumoroids, or tissue explants. Despite rapid advancement in microvascular network systems and organoid technologies, vascularizing organoids-on-chips remains a challenge in tissue engineering. Most existing microfluidic devices poorly reflect the complexity of in vivo flows and require complex technical set-ups.
Connecting scientists in the era of Solar Orbiter - Nature Astronomy

May 31, 2023 | nature.com | David Long

The first post-launch science meeting dedicated to the ESA/NASA Solar Orbiter spacecraft met in-person in Belfast nearly two and a half years into the mission, focusing on building new collaborations and rekindling old friendships. Despite its role in creating and sustaining life on Earth as our source of light, heat and energy, the connection between the Sun and the Earth, and indeed the Sun’s connection with its heliosphere, remain something of a conundrum.
Opinion: Hold your applause: DNR did not reject Camp Grayling expansion

May 7, 2023 | record-eagle.com | Adolph M. Greenberg |David Long

The so-called “rejection” by the Michigan Department of Resources is misleading. Essentially, the DNR approved an expansion — albeit not the 162,000 acres initially proposed — but one that encompasses 52,000 acres. What was rejected was a long-term lease giving Camp Grayling carte blanche access to the six proposed expansion areas surrounding the camp because most of the acreage was not legally available for leasing.
