Loro Parque’s Max Planck Institute for Ornithology proves that there is no jealousy of food in parrots

Presswire, 13 November 2019

Scientists from the Max-Planck-Institute for Ornithology, based at the Max-Planck Comparative Cognition Research station in the Loro Parque, Tenerife, found that four species of parrots did not show any negative reaction to their partner receiving a better pay-off than themselves from a human experimenter in exchange for tokens. Unlike most tested primate species so far, who so to speak “freak out” if their partner gets a better reward, the parrots reacted neither to their partner receiving something better for the same effort (i.e. to an unequal food distribution), nor to having to work harder for the same reward (thus to unequal effort).

Diabetes is one of the key drivers of chronic kidney disease and the most frequent reason why patients are in need of renal replacement therapy. Conversely, outcomes for dialysis patients with diabetes are rather poor. For these reasons, the ERA-EDTA aims to raise awareness of the threat of kidney disease on World Diabetes Day on November 14. It is important to prevent diabetes wherever possible and if not, to take great care to ensure that kidney health is protected in diabetic patients. SGLT2 inhibitors have the potential to treat CKD in patients with diabetes.

Simulation-based method to target Epilepsy goes into clinical trial

Presswire, 8 November 2019

In what represents a major milestone on the path to clinical application, a novel method to improve outcomes of Epilepsy surgery has now received approval for clinical testing in 13 French hospitals. The approach could provide a better therapeutic perspective against the drug-resistant form of the disease, which constitutes one third of all cases, and is a development by Human Brain Project scientist Viktor Jirsa and an interdisciplinary team of collaborators. To help clinicians plan surgery strategies, the scientists create personalized brain models of patients and simulate the spread of abnormal activity during epileptic seizures. The method represents the first example of a personalized brain modeling approach entering the clinic and will now be assessed over four years in a cohort of 356 patients under strict requirements.
