New injectable gel shows promise as voice loss treatment
涩里番 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.

Availability of respite care almost triples a palliative care patient鈥檚 chance of dying at home
Access to respite services for family caregivers increases a palliative care patient鈥檚 probability of dying at home almost threefold, according to a 涩里番-led study.
Previous surveys suggest most Canadians with a serious illness would prefer to spend the end of their lives at home. In Quebec, fewer than one-in-10 palliative care patients die at home, a rate that has remained largely unchanged for two decades and lags behind the Canadian average of 15 per cent.
