Trial by Fire: Critics Demand That a Huge Sepsis Study Be Stopped
A large government trial comparing treatments for a life-threatening condition called sepsis is putting participants at risk of organ failure and even death, critics charge, and should be immediately shut down. A detailed analysis of the trial design prepared by senior investigators at the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center in Bethesda, Md., concluded that the study “places seriously ill patients at risk without the possibility of gaining information that can provide benefits either to the subjects or to future patients.”

Labour calls for ban on early foetus gender test
Labour is calling for a ban on parents-to-be being told the sex of their baby after early blood tests, amid fears it may lead to abortions of girls. The Non-Invasive Prenatal Test (NIPT) is used by the NHS to test for genetic conditions, but people can pay for it privately to discover a baby’s gender. Labour MP Naz Shah said it was morally wrong for people to use the test to abort pregnancies based on the outcome.

Reanimatologas T.Tamošuitis: „Kartais valstybė nesuteikia galimybės išgelbėti gyvybę“
Pokyčiai donorystės srityje valstybei būtų net ekonomiškai naudingi, tačiau nėra už tai atsakingų ir tuo besidominčių, įsitikinęs Kauno klinikose dirbantis reanimatologas Tomas Tamošuitis. Medikas donorystės padėtį šalyje vertina dvejopai. Viena vertus, visuomenė po truputį bręsta, tačiau statistiniai rodikliai rodo tą patį, ką ir prieš dešimt metų. O tai paaiškinti, pasak T.Tamošuičio, paprasta – valstybė neturi tikslų ir strategijos šiuo klausimu. Kartais išgelbėti gyvybės, paaukoti organus tiesiog nesuteikiama galimybė.
