New compound could protect from post-heart attack tissue damage :
While the initial prolonged oxygen starvation in a heart attack itself damages tissue, most of the cell death occurs through reperfusion injury after medical intervention has unblocked major blood vessels supplying the heart.
MitoSNO works by briefly ‘switching off’ the mitochondria in the first few minutes after blood flow is returned, preventing the deadly build-up of free-radicals. To achieve this, the compound is designed to accumulate inside heart mitochondria rapidly after its injection into the blood and temporarily modify some of the key proteins required for mitochondrial function.
MitoSNO has to be given by injection just before blood flow to the heart was restored.
70 nations seek action against cervical cancer.
Every year 275,000 women die of cervical cancer.
India alone accounts for 72,000 deaths from cervical cancer — more than any other country — while the highest mortality rates for the cancer is in Africa.
The new low price negotiated for the HPV vaccine allows the countries to immunise more girls and takes a step closer towards sustainability.
