Self-Adhesive Dressing Generates Electrical Current That Promotes Healing, Reduces Infection Risk
Ohio State University Center for Clinical and Translational Science

From precious metals to maggots, physicians have tried just about everything to help reverse the negative spiral of chronic wounds. And for good reason – these types of non-healing wounds currently cost the healthcare system in excess of $20 billion a year, and millions of sufferers endure months of pain, disability and the constant concern of infection. Now, scientists are testing an experimental electrified mesh bandage that zaps bacteria and stimulates tissue healing.

Adolescent Weight Gain on Popular Injectable Contraceptive May Depend on Micronutrient Intake
Ohio State University Center for Clinical and Translational Science

Since its introduction nearly 23 years ago, the popular injectable contraceptive depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) has been associated with causing substantial weight gain in some adolescent girls. Without being able to identify or predict which girls will gain weight on the drug, physicians typically counsel all teens receiving DMPA to simply eat less. New research suggests that the message may need to change to “eat better.”

Experimental “Urban Garden” Helps Cancer Survivors’ Lower Risk for Recurrence and Chronic Illness
Ohio State University Center for Clinical and Translational Science

While there is substantial evidence that diet and body weight can impact cancer development, recurrence, and progression – for the estimated 14.5 million cancer survivors in the US, there are few resources available to help them optimize their dietary patterns and lifestyle behaviors after active cancer treatment is over. Now, new research shows that cancer survivors who participated in a multifaceted urban garden intervention improved their health behaviors, significantly reduced their weight, and improved biomarkers of health – all major improvements related to a reduced risk for developing a secondary cancer or illnesses like diabetes or heart disease. The unique program is promising and could be used as an evidence-based blueprint for other chronic conditions.

Treatment of Sleep Apnea Results in Greater Blood Pressure Reduction in Those with Resistant Hypertension
Ohio State University Center for Clinical and Translational Science

The use of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy can help people who have both obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and hypertension lower their blood pressure, which in turn could possibly reduce their risk of suffering a deadly heart attack or stroke in the future. However, the data is unclear on the impact of CPAP use in millions of OSA-sufferers who have a resistant form of hypertension that doesn’t significantly improve despite multi-drug therapy. A global research team recently looked at a set of pooled data and determined that untreated OSA may be one reason why resistant hypertension doesn’t respond to traditional therapy, and that CPAP use may yield even greater blood pressure reductions in this difficult to treat population than expected.

High-Dose Vitamin D Not Effective for Helping Women with Repeat Reproductive Tract Infections
Ohio State University Center for Clinical and Translational Science

Vitamin D appears not to be effective for treating repeat occurrences of bacterial vaginosis (BV), the most common reproductive infection among women worldwide. While earlier studies have shown a correlation between low vitamin D levels and BV, new research shows the difficult-to-treat and frequently symptom-free reproductive infection isn’t altered by high dose vitamin D supplements. The findings underscore the need to confirm findings from observational studies through randomized controlled trials. Effective treatments for recurrent BV are urgently needed, because BV can cause spontaneous abortions and increase the risk of contracting HIV.

Traumatic injury is the number one cause of death in children above the age of one. Not only are injuries often life-threatening, but the severity of the injuries can “paralyze” the immune system, increasing a child’s risk for developing potentially deadly secondary infections. Researchers are now testing a drug commonly used to boost the immune systems of kids with cancer to see if it can also help children with life-threatening injuries avoid infection. Their findings could offer treatment strategies for other critical conditions including sepsis and influenza, and reframe the importance of trauma-related immune dysfunction in national efforts to reduce hospital acquired infections.
