Cells from amniotic fluid used to tissue-engineer a new trachea
Pediatric surgeon looks to fetal cells to repair birth defectsResearchers at Children's Hospital Boston report using tissue engineering to reconstruct defective tracheas (windpipes) in fetal lambs, first using cells from the amniotic fluid to grow sections of cartilage tube, and then implanting these living grafts into the lambs while still in the womb. The tracheal repair technique is one...Chlamydia trachomatis IgG ELISA Kit, Single from Bio-Quant Inc.

Researchers from Children’s Hospital of Boston have reconstructed defective windpipes using tissue engineering in fetal lambs. The researchers used amniotic fluid for growing the sections of cartilage tube // and then implanted these living tissues into lambs, while they were in the womb. This technique of tissue engineering is used for altering birth defects. Undifferentiated stem cell from amni...Trachoma cannot be obliterated with just one dose of antibiotic
A study carried in eight Ethiopian villages for two years found that a single dose of an antibiotic is insufficient to nip infection causing trachoma, which happens to be the// primary cause of blindness. A previous study in one Tanzanian village had seemed to show that a single distribution exercise of one antibiotic was enough to completely negate the infection. A new study has sugg...New Test For Detecting Trachoma
Trachoma, an infection caused by Chlamydia trachomatis bacteria leads to blindness in over one million women and children. Although the infection is very treatable there is a difficulty// in diagnosing it accurately especially in remote areas. Now scientists have developed a ‘sight-saving’ dipstick test that can give results in under half an hour. In a trial involving over 600 Masai c...Trachoma not Curable by Antibiotics Alone
A study conducted in Vietnam has indicated that antibiotic therapy against Trachoma is not effective in the long term. When children affected with trachoma //(second leading cause of blindness after cataract) were treated with azithromycin, it was seen that there was only a short-lived improvement. Dr. Deborah Dean, senior scientist at Children's Hospital Oakland Research Institute in California...Cuffed EndoFlex Endotracheal Tube
