Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Might Start in The Brain, Not The Ovaries!

A new study has found evidence that the common and debilitating reproductive condition, polycystic ovary syndrome, could start in the brain, not the ovaries, as researchers have long assumed. If verified, the research could change the way we think about the painful and severely misunderstood condition, which affects at least one in 10 women worldwide. http:// www.sciencealert.com/ polycystic-ovary-syndrome-m ight-start-in-the-brain-no t-the-ovaries

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/
