Abstract: First, we show that if the pressure

p

(associated to a weak Leray-Hopf solution

v

of the Navier-Stokes equations) satisfies

| p |_{L_{t}^{i n f t y} (0, T^{*}; L^{f r a c 32, i n f t y} (m a t h b b R^{3}))} l e q M^{2}

, then

v

possesses higher integrability up to the first potential blow-up time

T^{*}

. Our method is concise and is based upon energy estimates applied to powers of

| v |

and the utilization of a `small exponent'. As a consequence, we show that if a weak Leray-Hopf solution

v

first blows up at

T^{*}

and satisfies the Type I condition

| v |_{L_{t}^{i n f t y} (0, T^{*}; L^{3, i n f t y} (m a t h b b R^{3}))} l e q M

, then

abla vin L^{2+O(frac{1}{M})}(mathbb{R}^3 imes ( frac{1}{2}T^*,T^*)).

This is the first result of its kind, improving the integrability exponent of

a b l a v

under the Type I assumption in the three-dimensional setting. Finally, we show that if

v : m a t h b b R^{3} i m e s [- 1, 0] i g h t a r r o w m a t h b b R^{3}

is a weak Leray-Hopf solution to the Navier-Stokes equations with

s_{n} u p a r r o w 0

such that

sup_{n}|v(cdot,s_{n})|_{L^{3,infty}(mathbb{R}^3)}leq M

then

v

possesses at most

O (M^{20})

singular points at

t = 0

. Our method is direct and concise. It is based upon known

v a r e p s i l o n

-regularity, global bounds on a Navier-Stokes solution with initial data in

L^{3, i n f t y} (m a t h b b R^{3})

and rescaling arguments. We do not require arguments based on backward uniqueness nor unique continuation results for parabolic operators.
