Researchers Find Salt Could Be Used To Treat Cancer
BOSTON (CBS) — There may be a new weapon to attack cancer cells with less harm to the patient, and it you can probably find it right on your kitchen table. It’s salt, which is also called sodium chloride.
Researchers at the University of Georgia used sodium chloride nano-particles as a so-called “Trojan Horse” to deliver cancer-killing sodium and chloride ions into cancer cells. But they say the treatment isn’t toxic because when the nano-particles degrade, they just turn into salt.
In fact, when they injected these salt nano-particles into tumors in mice, the sodium chloride nano-particles suppre...

Leukomed Sorbact for preventing surgical site infection- Medtech innovation briefing (MIB197)
Innovative aspect of this dressing is hydrophobic dialkylcarbamoyl chloride in wound contact layer which binds to bacteria/fungi and moves them away from incision site. It would be additional cost to standard care but resource use might reduce if it reduces incidence of infection. (Source: Current Awareness Service for Health (CASH))

Cryo-EM structures of the human cation-chloride cotransporter KCC1
Cation-chloride cotransporters (CCCs) mediate the coupled, electroneutral symport of cations with chloride across the plasma membrane and are vital for cell volume regulation, salt reabsorption in the kidney, and -aminobutyric acid (GABA)–mediated modulation in neurons. Here we present cryo–electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of human potassium-chloride cotransporter KCC1 in potassium chloride or sodium chloride at 2.9- to 3.5-angstrom resolution. KCC1 exists as a dimer, with both extracellular and transmembrane domains involved in dimerization. The structural and functional analyses, along with computatio...

Dental Experts Warn Against Using Baking Soda, Salt To Whiten Teeth
(CNN) — If you regularly enjoy coffee, tea, red wine and pastas with marinara sauce, you might be aware that these foods and beverages leave behind stains on your teeth well after they are consumed.
But if you think you’ve found a whitening solution in the form of table salt (sodium chloride) or baking soda (another type of salt, sodium bicarbonate), think again.
“I see no clinical reason why someone would brush their teeth with salt,” said Dr. Matt Messina, an Ohio-based dentist and assistant professor at the Ohio State University College of Dentistry. “There is no scientific evidence that br...

Nikomed Develops Recyclable Lead Wire
Nikomed USA Inc. has unveiled a non-metal disposable and universal lead wire system, BioWire. Thanks to a construction of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and a printed conductive silver ink, the lead could be recycled.
“The idea for a recyclable lead came from seeing the extremely high volume of inexpensive disposable metal lead wires being thrown away by hospitals,†Stephen Epstein, Nikomed’s president, told MD+DI. “In order to help fight cross contamination, hospitals began looking for alternatives to cleaning/reprocessing traditional, reusable lead...
