Cadmium-linked inflammation mechanism is described, offering a potential therapy to limit lung injury and death caused by lower respiratory tract infections.

Cadmium-linked inflammation mechanism is described, offering a potential therapy to limit lung injury and death caused by lower respiratory tract infections.

Cadmium is a toxic heavy metal that is ubiquitous in the environment due to its widespread industrial use. It is known to cause lung damage and increase the risk of lung cancer, but recently, researchers have found that it may also be a culprit in increasing the severity and mortality of lung infections. In this … Read more

Tranexamic acid doesn’t reduce the need for blood transfusion or maternal death after a cesarean, reveals a study funded by the US National Institutes of Health. Patients given the drug did have a slightly lower drop in red blood cell count and less need for post-partum medical intervention. Tranexamic acid slows the breakdown of blood clots, and was presumed to reduce bleeding, according to previous studies. However, the new study included 11,000 patients across 31 centres and shows no statistically significant benefit to the treatment.

Cesarean delivery, also known as a C-section, is a common surgical procedure performed to deliver infants when vaginal delivery is not possible or poses risks to the mother or baby. One of the major complications that can arise from a C-section is postpartum hemorrhage, which is excessive bleeding following childbirth. To prevent such bleeding, a … Read more

Lung cancer cells have an “almost infinite” ability to evolve and survive, according to research on over 400 patients by Cancer Research UK. A universal cancer cure is unlikely. The study emphasises the need for early detection and prevention. Tumours with higher levels of genetic “chaos” are more likely to relapse after surgery, it found.
