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.

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.

A study by Thammasat University Hospital found that low to moderate glycemic index (GI) rice helped reduce the need for insulin in women with gestational diabetes. The study compared the effects of consuming rice with medium and high GI levels, and found that significantly fewer women in the low GI rice group required insulin therapy compared to the high GI group. There was no significant difference in fasting glucose or postmeal glucose levels between the groups.
