Researchers test a new approach to severe stimulant-related agitation

A Marshall University preclinical study tested a dexmedetomidine-ketamine approach for methamphetamine-induced agitation.
The combination nearly completely controlled agitation in rats and showed less intense side effects than high-dose dexmedetomidine.
Researchers say dexmedetomidine is appealing because it does not impair breathing, even when opioids are present.
The work reflects growing clinical pressure from polysubstance overdose cases.

A woman’s uterus has been kept alive outside the body for the first time

Scientists Keep a Human Uterus Alive Outside the Body for the First Time

A team in Spain says it kept a donated human uterus alive outside the body for 24 hours.
The machine, called PUPER, circulates modified human blood through the organ.
Researchers want to use the system to study implantation, uterine disorders, and eventually a full menstrual cycle.
The work has not yet been published, so the result remains preliminary.
