Bioinspired coating for medical devices repels blood and bacteria

Any device implanted in the body or in contact with flowing blood faces two critical challenges that can threaten the life of the patient the device is meant to help: blood clotting and bacterial infection. A team of Harvard scientists and engineers may have a solution. They developed a new surface coating for medical devices using materials already approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The coating repelled blood from more than 20 medically relevant substrates the team tested – made of plastic to glass and metal – and also suppressed biofilm formation in a study reported in Nature Biotechnology. The team implanted medical-grade tubing and catheters coated with the material in large blood vessels in pigs, and it prevented blood from clotting for at least eight hours without the use of blood thinners such as heparin.  The link of the article: https://wyss.harvard.edu/bioinspired-coating-for-medical-devices-repels-blood-and-bacteria/

Plain packets help smokers quit by killing brand identities

The proof is in the packaging. Making all cigarette packets look the same reduces the positive feelings smokers associate with specific brands and encourages quitting, Australian research shows. The findings come ahead of the UK and Ireland introducing plain tobacco packaging in May. Australia was the first nation to introduce such legislation in December 2012. Since then, all cigarettes have been sold in plain olive packets with standard fonts and graphic health warnings. https:// www.newscientist.com/ article/ 2122340-plain-packets-help- smokers-quit-by-killing-br and-identities/

Facial recognition software helps diagnose rare genetic disease

Facial recognition software helps diagnose rare genetic disease. Soon, physicians may be able to diagnose by snapping a photo. Find out how with NHGRI: https://www.genome.gov/27568319/facial-recognition-software-helps-diagnose-rare-genetic-disease/ "Early diagnoses means early treatment along with the potential for reducing pain and suffering experienced by these children and their families," said  Maximilian Muenke, M.D. , atlas co-creator and chief of NHGRI's  Medical Genetics Branch .
