    دعامة مبتكرة على شكل ساعة رملية قد تخفف من آلام الصدر الشديدة الناتجة عن مرض الأوعية الدقيقة
    Mayo Clinic

    روتشستر، ولاية مينيسوتا — أظهرت دراسة أجرتها مايو كلينك أن دعامة مصممة على شكل ساعة رملية قد تُحسن تدفق الدم وتخفف من آلام الصدر الشديدة والمتكررة لدى المصابين بمرض الأوعية الدقيقة. من بين 30 مشاركًا في تجربة سريرية من المرحلة الثانية، أفاد 76% بتحسن ملموس في حياتهم اليومية. على سبيل المثال، بعض المشاركين الذين كانوا غير قادرين على المشي حول الحي أو صعود الدَّرَج بسبب آلام الصدر تمكنوا من أداء هذه الأنشطة اليومية بنهاية التجربة السريرية التي بلغت مدتها 120 يومًا. كما أظهرت المقاييس السريرية لتدفق الدم المرتبطة بالأوعية الدقيقة في القلب تحسنًا كبيرًا أثناء المتابعة، وفقًا للنتائج المنشورة في مجلة الكلية الأمريكية لأمراض القلب: تدخلات أمراض القلب والأوعية الدموية (Journal of the American College of Cardiology: Cardiovascular Interventions).

    Chewing Xylitol Gum Linked to Decrease in Preterm Birth
    University of Washington School of Medicine and UW Medicine

    Results from a study in Malawi showed that chewing gum containing xylitol, a naturally occurring alcohol sugar, was associated with a 24% reduction in preterm birth. The findings were published today in Med (a Cell Press journal). Researchers found that the group of pregnant individuals randomized to receive chewing gum also saw a 30% drop in low-birthweight babies, when compared with the control group which did not receive xylitol gum, noted lead author Dr. Greg Valentine, associate professor of pediatrics at the University of Washington School of Medicine.
