A Simple Change to Save Thousands from Sepsis: Changing the way antibiotics are given to adult patients with sepsis will save thousands of lives a year globally, according to research by The University of Queensland and The George Institute for Global Health. A clinical trial and systematic review have shown that intravenously administering commonly used […]

A bioengineering breakthrough which helps repair damaged bones without causing the negative side effects of other treatments could lead to better results for patients, scientists say. It could support the development of new treatments to help people living with serious skeletal injuries or cancer patients who have lost bone to the disease to regrow bone […]

AI-designed catheters could dramatically reduce urinary tract infection rates among hospital patients, without the need for chemicals or antibiotics. Around one in five people who stay in NHS hospitals need to use urinary catheters, which are flexible hollow tubes usually made of plastic that drain urine from the bladder into a bag. Urinary catheters are […]
