Reworking the functionalities of bio-artificial tissue

Ιαν 07, 2014 12:17

Bio-artificial soft tissue can be used to treat burns and wounds as well as reduce animal testing in cosmetics and chemicals. However, integration of thicker tissues has not been successful due to insufficient nutrition and oxygen supply from poor vascularisation.

Heart-friendly dietary polyphenols

Ιαν 07, 2014 12:16

Increased levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) promote atherosclerosis and increase cardiovascular disease risk. Recent evidence suggests that polyphenols in red wine, strawberries and cocoa could inhibit VEGF at levels achievable through diet.

Preventing urinary tract infections

Ιαν 07, 2014 12:13

Indwelling catheters are used to collect urine samples and assess urine output accurately in patients so as to decipher severity of illness or injury. About 80 % of urinary tract infections (UTIs) occur due to use of indwelling catheters, increasing length of stay in hospitals as well as health care costs.
