A new hydrogel can be directly injected into muscle to help it regenerate
In this episode:00:46 An injectable gel for healing musclesSevere muscle injury can be debilitating, with long recuperation periods. Now, researchers have developed a material that can be directly injected into injured muscle, helping to stimulate and heal damaged tissue. The team showed this approach could rapidly restore walking ability in severely injured rats and regenerate muscles within four weeks. They hope that this solution could one day help humans with similar injuries, and overcome some of the limitations of current recuperation strategies.Research article: Jin et al.News and Views: Hydrogel implant rehabilitat...

SCCM Pod-493: Bundle and Save: The Future of ICU Liberation
The Society of Critical Care Medicine's (SCCM) ICU Liberation Bundle (A-F) is unique because it can be applied to every patient, every day, by the full team. By fostering a holistic approach to treating patients and improving ICU team communication, the ICU Liberation Bundle has been proven in multiple studies to reduce: the likelihood of hospital death, delirium and coma days, physical restraint use, ICU readmissions, and discharges to rehabilitation facilities. Ludwig H. Lin, MD, was joined by Kristina A. Betters, MD, and Christopher Adams, PharmD, BCCCP, BCPS, FCCM, during the 2023 Critical Care Congress to discuss the ...

How does using technology to deliver pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) compare to centre-based PR, or no PR in people with chronic lung disease?
Many millions of people suffer from respiratory diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, interstitial lung disease and bronchiectasis; and there are Cochrane Reviews for a wide range of interventions that might help, including drugs, devices and physical therapies. These were added to in January 2021 with a new review of the effects of providing pulmonary rehabilitation remotely and we asked the lead author, Narelle Cox from Monash University in Melbourne Australia, to tell us more in this podcast.
