3D imaging modeling cost effective for pediatric surgery
3D anatomical modeling using advanced imaging software can be cost-effective in planning pediatric surgeries, according to research published October 28 in the Journal of Pediatric Surgery.
A team led by Mark Ryan, MD, from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas found that its modeling approach can successfully visualize pediatric anatomical structures. From there, these 3D structures can be retained for 3D printing, virtual reality usage, or as an anatomic reference.
“Visualization and preoperative planning can be assisted by advanced imaging software at minimal to no cost, thereby facilitating...

Amino acid in energy drinks makes mice live longer and healthier
Researchers first sifted the amino acid taurine from a sample of ox bile in 1827. Today, it’s better known as one of the main ingredients in many energy drinks. But it may do more than drive sales of these beverages. A study published today in
Science
suggests
boosting taurine levels increases life span in mice and improves the physical condition of middle-aged monkeys
, hinting it could do the same for people.
“This might be something that could be used to fight aging-related diseases or increase life span in humans,” says molecular physiologist Dudley Lamming of the University of Wisconsin...

Why So Many Black Women Die in Pregnancy
BIRMINGHAM — Angelica Lyons knew it was dangerous for Black women to give birth in America.
As a public health instructor, she taught college students about racial health disparities, including the fact that Black women in the U.S. are nearly three times more likely to die during pregnancy or delivery than any other race. Her home state of Alabama has the third-highest maternal mortality rate in the nation.
Then, in 2019, it nearly happened to her.
What should have been a joyous first pregnancy quickly turned into a nightmare when she began to suffer debilitating stomach pain.
