Research in #medicine seek to determine efficacy and side effects. Proving a drug works, or that it causes a side effect, can be challenging. The debate over whether #acetaminophen causes #autism is rooted in studies that find an association, not causation. The link is not so clear. This writer, a scientist with an autistic child, parses what's known and what's speculated to offer a reasoned view.

Scientists want to treat complex bone fractures with a bone-healing gun - Ars Technica


In more complex bone problems like severe, irregular fractures or resections done as part of bone cancer treatment, the bone won’t heal on its own. The most common means of stabilizing the injured site and making recovery possible is metal-based grafts, implants usually made with titanium alloys.

The problem with such implants is that they are difficult and expensive to manufacture, and it’s very hard to make them patient-specific. “3D printing has been highlighted as a novel approach to make such personalized implants, but this also requires substantial time and money,” said Jung Seung Lee, a biomedical engineering researcher at the Sungkyunkwan University in Korea. So his team wanted to find a way to make bone implants that would be faster and cheaper than a 3D printer.

What they came up with was a modified glue gun. The idea was to make the implant right at the injured site during surgery. The surgeon would point the bone-healing gun at the fractured bone, pull the trigger, and create a stabilizing scaffold by extruding a filament that would solidify in the fracture and hold the bone together. “It was basically a tweaked commercially available hot glue gun. We modulated the temperature, and by adjusting the tip module, we could control the resolution of the extruded scaffold,” Lee said.

Coming up with the gun design, though, was the easy part. The hard part was figuring out the ammo.

love to see that: a TTRPG funraiser, but instead of being for a new system system or yet another 5e module, this one is for the World Food Programme that does actual, effective aid in places like Yemen and Gaza.

Antitrust, sanzione da 936 milioni a sei compagnie petrolifere

Eni, Esso, Ip, Q8, Saras e Tamoil si sono coordinate per determinare il prezzo della componente bio inserita nel prezzo del carburante, passato da circa 20 euro al mc del 2019 a circa 60 euro al mc del 2023. Secondo l’Antitrust le compagnie hanno attuato contestuali aumenti di prezzo - in gran parte coincidenti - determinati da scambi di informazioni diretti o indiretti tra le imprese interessate.

Quando finisci in #dialisi la tua vita è stravolta. Per sopravvivere, un giorno sì e uno no devi stare attaccato a una macchina che lava il sangue, nelle braccia aghi spessi come fiammiferi. Non sai più cosa sia una giornata senza sete, un pasto in cui mangi quello che vuoi, un viaggio che duri più di due giorni senza lunghi preparativi, o la sensazione di essere riposato. Prima della dialisi sei intossicato e gonfio, dopo esausto e disidratato. Cambia perfino il colore della pelle.

Soprattutto se sei giovane, è difficile resistere alla disperazione e un aiuto esterno può essere decisivo.

Per aiutare le persone in dialisi, in occasione del mio compleanno (5 ottobre) ho deciso di fare una raccolta fondi a favore dell’ANED, che aiuta i dializzati e i trapiantati di rene. È un’associazione meno alla moda di altre, ma altrettanto degna di sostegno. Anche un piccolo contributo può essere utile: grazie in anticipo a chi vorrà partecipare.
