Beanbag ballistic projectiles, as well as other Kinetic Impact Projectiles (KIPs), have been scrutinized in their role for crowd control due to the risk of blunt trauma including skull fractures, intracranial bleeds and retained beanbag components.[1]
Previous research into injury rates from KIPs shows that 15.5% of patients who presented for injuries from KIPs had permanent disabilities — typically from ocular trauma or abdominal organ trauma, which required subsequent operations. About 84.2% of patients had permanent blindness if they sustained ocular trauma. KIPs utilizing metal, including beanbag rounds, h...

The first person to receive a heart transplant from a pig has died, two months after the groundbreaking experiment, the Maryland hospital that performed the surgery announced Wednesday.

Scientists Successfully Attached a Pig Kidney to Human For the First Time
Scientists temporarily attached a pig’s kidney to a human body and watched it begin to work, a small step in the decades-long quest to one day use animal organs for life-saving transplants.
Pigs have been the most recent research focus to address the organ shortage, but among the hurdles: A sugar in pig cells, foreign to the human body, causes immediate organ rejection. The kidney for this experiment came from a gene-edited animal, engineered to eliminate that sugar and avoid an immune system attack.
Surgeons attached the pig kidney to a pair of large blood vessels outside the body of a deceased recipient so they cou...
