A groundbreaking study by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the University of Birmingham introduces E-MOTIVE, a novel solution that could significantly reduce deaths from childbirth-related bleeding, or postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). PPH, the leading cause of maternal mortality worldwide, affects 14 million women annually and results in approximately 70,000 deaths.A trial of a set of interventions to manage postpartum hemorrhage, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, found a 60% reduction in heavy…

Blood clots are one of the body's most important natural defense systems, a mechanism for plugging internal and external gaps to keep us alive. However, in cases where the body is losing a lot of blood, the clotting process can't keep up. This is where a new synthetic replacement could come in.Researchers have developed a two-component system that targets internal injuries without causing any unwanted damage of its own. The two components match the body's platelets (cell fragments that trigger clotting) and fibrinogen (a…

Researchers at the University of British Columbia and the University of Michigan have developed a new blood thinner compound, MPI 8, that shows promise in preventing blood clots without increasing the risk of bleeding. The compound targets polyphosphate, a molecule involved in blood clotting that is not essential for the process, making it a safer alternative to existing blood thinners that target clotting enzymes. Although MPI 8 has shown effectiveness in animal models, further research is needed to confirm its safety…

Scientists at MIT have developed a synthetic system that can stem internal bleeding, to help more people survive long enough to reach a hospital after a traumatic injury. Two components come together at the wound to form a clot, without doing so elsewhere in the body where it might be dangerous.Traumatic events like car crashes can cause internal bleeding, and if patients don’t reach a hospital in time they can be fatal. Finding ways to stop the bleeding can extend that window, potentially saving lives.The MIT team has…

MIT engineers have designed synthetic nanoparticles that can be injected into the body and help form blood clots at the sites of internal injury.

Staff at Activision Blizzard have accused the company of losing workers and “creating crisis maps” of what it can release, due to issues with the company’s remote working policy. In a series of tweets posted yesterday, World Of Warcraft game producer Adam ‘Glaxigrav’ claimed he has lost “yet another” employee this week. “Blizzard is losing amazing talent because someone in power doesn’t listen to the game directors who make his products,” wrote Adam, who said Blizzard can’t “make better Dragonflights If we get rid of…
