This Artificial Womb Could Revolutionize the Way We Treat Premature Babies
Image: Karen Abeyaseker / Creative Commons Incubators and ventilators are invaluable when treating extremely premature infants, but they’re a far cry from the cozy confines of a mother’s womb. In an effort to create an environment that more closely approximates the real thing, researchers have now developed an artificial womb that could dramatically reduce mortality […]
Next in Reproductive Tech: The Artificial Womb
In a sterile, brightly lit lab, a tiny hairless creature lies perfectly still. It’s not even breathing — though thanks to tubing in its jugular and navel, it’s getting in oxygen and expelling carbon dioxide, and is 100 percent alive. At this point, the little lamb should still be floating around in its mother’s amniotic […]
Women who have THIS could have increased risk of getting womb cancer
Researchers writing in the British Medical Journal (BMJ) found that for every 0.1 unit increase in the ratio between waist and hip, the risk of developing the disease increased by 21 per cent. Experts from the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF), which part-funded the study, said the results showed a strong relationship between cancer and […]
