The success of PReCePT, a program to increase the use of magnesium sulfate to prevent cerebral palsy in premature babies, has been highlighted in a study led by National Institute for Health and Care Research Applied Research Collaboration West (NIHR ARC West) researchers, including researchers from the University of Bristol.
increased across all maternity units in England, regardless of whether they were given extra support.
and 64% of mothers in the enhanced support group received magnesium sulfate. After the study, this had gone up to 84% and 85% respectively. After adjusting for other factors, the two groups had improved by very similar amounts. The standard National PReCePT Program supported by AHSNs was the most cost-effective way to improve use of magnesium sulfate.
The research team also highlighted that the enhanced support package may have been the more realistically funded model, as many midwives put in extra time toIn the paper they said,"This real implementation cost should not be underestimated in future improvement programs. The high level of commitment, QI capacity and teamworking culture already present in some NPP units, and the high levels of interaction between trial arms , may also explain the overall similarity in outcome between groups.

Changing dosing methods means fewer mice needed to study lung infectionsResearchers will need fewer mice to study lung infections thanks to improvements in dosing methods, according to a new study from the University of California San Francisco (UCSF). Changing how animals are anesthetized and infected with microbes allows scientists to study lung infections using smaller group sizes and without having to use invasive dosing methods. The study is published in the American Journal of Physiology-Lung Cellular and Molecular Physiology.

Pre-clinical research indicates mRNA vaccine shows promise for reducing cases of Lyme diseaseAn experimental mRNA vaccine provides protection in preclinical animal models against infection from Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacteria that causes Lyme disease, according to new research from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. Results from these preclinical animal models suggest that the vaccine prevents the development of Lyme disease and may represent a powerful tool in reducing the number of Lyme disease cases.
