New injectable gel shows promise as voice loss treatment

ɬ﷬ Faculty of Medicine news - Fri, 10/10/2025 - 09:03

ɬ﷬ researchers have engineered a new hydrogel that shows early promise as a treatment for people with vocal cord injuries.

Voice loss is often permanent when scarring forms on the vocal cords. Current injectable treatments break down quickly, which can force patients to get repeated procedures that can further damage the delicate tissue.

96 Global Health NOW: In Gaza, Fragile Hope for Peace Amid Deepened Devastation; Toxic Textile Recycling; and Egyptian Strongman in Ship Shape “When the fighting stops, a new struggle will begin": WHO October 9, 2025 Palestinians gather outside Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital on October 9 to celebrate the announcement of a ceasefire agreement expected to take effect soon, in Gaza City, Gaza. Hamza Z. H. Qraiqea/Anadolu via Getty Images Fragile Hope for Peace Amid Deepened Devastation     Israel and Hamas are inching toward a deal that could end two years of war, raising fragile hopes for an imminent ceasefire—and relief for both Israeli hostage families and 2 million Gaza civilians living in dire humanitarian conditions.     But even as hopes build, the health crisis for Gazans amid two years of relentless war continues to deepen, adding urgency to the already-daunting path toward recovery.  
  Acute malnourishment: 54,600+ children in Gaza are acutely malnourished—12,800 severely so, ; and ~16% of preschool-age children are suffering from life-threatening wasting, .  
  Shattered health system: Rebuilding Gaza’s decimated health system will be critical to lasting stability and peace, , as Gaza’s health services are near total collapse. Rebuilding will cost $7 billion+, per WHO estimates.  
  • “When the fighting stops, a new struggle will begin—to rebuild Gaza’s health system and rescue an entire population from the edge of famine and despair,” said Hanan Balkhy, WHO Director for the Eastern Mediterranean.  
  • Only 14 of 36 hospitals are partially functioning, , even as a “constant stream of trauma patients” seek help in Gaza City.  
Aid still lacking: Despite famine declarations, essential aid including food and medicine, and critical medical supplies remain scarce, , describing “three premature babies on a bed sharing oxygen” due to a lack of incubators.     What’s next: With talks ongoing, the UN has said it is poised to deliver aid to Gaza as soon as possible, .   GLOBAL HEALTH VOICES The Latest One-Liners
Drinking even a single diet beverage a day may up the risk of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) by 60%, while consuming a sugary beverage could increase the risk by 50%, of 123,788 people without baseline liver disease; the research, not yet peer-reviewed or published, was presented at the United European Gastroenterology Week conference in Berlin Monday.  

The Ebola outbreak in southern DRC is starting to be contained, the WHO said yesterday, with no new cases reported in 10 days; as of October 5, the total case count was 64 (53 confirmed, 11 probable) and 43 deaths (32 confirmed,11 probable).     59% of Americans surveyed disapproved of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s job performance as HHS secretary, according to ; but Republicans surveyed reported they trusted RFK Jr. as much as their own health care provider.     Scientists in Japan have identified a potential biological cause of long COVID-19 brain fog; the that people with the condition experience widespread increases in activity related to AMPA receptors, a type of molecule crucial for learning and memory. MALARIA Lessons from Suriname’s Success  
Twenty-five years ago, Suriname had the highest malaria transmission rates in the Americas. This summer, it was the first Amazon nation , thanks to innovative measures that could be a model for neighboring countries, say epidemiologists.     Community-based approach: Suriname embraced a strategy that put rapid testing, treatment, and training in the hands of local communities in remote areas.    Targeting the marginalized: Health workers also created a treatment model for transient gold miners working illegally in the rainforest, who are especially susceptible to malaria.  
  • The Malakit Project distributed self-testing and treatment kits directly to miners—contributing to a 43% reduction in malaria cases between 2018 and 2020.  
“It’s about how we treat these vulnerable, often invisible populations,” said Patricia Sanchez with the UN Foundation.      GLOBAL HEALTH VOICES ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH The Toxicity of Textile Recycling    Panipat, India, is gaining global prominence as a hub of textile recycling, where factories process ~1 million tons of international textile waste annually, shredding old fabrics and spinning them into new fiber.  
But the lack of both labor and environmental protections has led to mounting health problems and water pollution.    Health crises: Doctors in Panipat report high rates of lung disease, skin conditions, and cancer linked to continuous inhalation of lint and dust containing microfibers and microplastics. 
  • The factories often lack basic protections like adequate ventilation and protective masks.  
Environmental fallout: Hundreds of bleaching and dyeing facilities, many unregulated, discharge toxic wastewater into the ground, contaminating local water sources.       ALMOST FRIDAY DIVERSION An Egyptian Strongman in Ship Shape
Pulling a locomotive and a truck wasn’t enough to convince the Egyptian wrestler Ashraf Mahrous—aka Kabonga—that he was the world’s strongest man.  
  • So, seeking a Guinness world record, he’s now pulled a 700-ton ship with only the rope clenched between his teeth. 
Why? While Kabonga grew up hauling his friends around for fun, it was when they saw him “push a car using only a finger” that they encouraged him to get serious, .  
Today, he trains daily at a Cairo gym and puts away at least a dozen eggs, two whole chickens, and 11 pounds of fish. Impressive—but we’re convinced his success hinges not just on strength, but on mind games: “I spoke to [the ship], saying ‘It's either me or you today.’”  
His next goal: pulling a plane with his eyelid muscles. QUICK HITS Indian police arrest owner of cough syrup company linked to deaths of 17 children –      Do young people need Covid boosters? Research shows more protection for ages 65 and older –
