Researchers have developed a simple laboratory score which is safer and faster at diagnosing patients who visit the emergency department with heart attack symptoms. The findings, published in the CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal), suggest that the score can also identify patients at risk of subsequent heart issues after discharge. “We have developed a simple lab score that is superior to using cardiac troponin alone for the identification of patients at low and high risk for heart attack or death at emergency department presentation,” said co-author Peter Kavsak from the…

Scientists have grown human egg cells to full maturity in the lab in a potential breakthrough for fertility treatment, they announced in a study published on Friday. Researchers in New York and Edinburgh developed a new method to grow eggs from very early-stage cells obtained from ovary tissue, a team reported in the journal Molecular Human Reproduction. The eggs were grown to the point at which they could be fertilised. This had previously been achieved with mouse egg cells, while human eggs had been successfully cultivated starting from a much…

In a first, scientists have grown a residing bone inside the lab to restore massive defects inside the head and face of patient, taking a step forward in enhancing treatments for human beings with cranio-facial defects. a new technique advanced through Gordana Vunjak-Novakovic, professor at Columbia university , uses car logous stem cells derived from a small sample of the recipient’s fats and replicates the original anatomical shape of the bone. “we’ve got been capable to show, in a scientific-length porcine model of jaw repair, that this bone, grown in…
