Scientists at the University of Sydney are developing a zwitterionic coating, that can be used on medical devices and implants like heart valves and stents to prevent blood clotting. Zwitterions ...

By using Zwitterion coated materials, we aim to decrease the risk of blood clots and increase the lifespan of heart valves and other medical implants,” says Dr Naficy, from the University’s School of ...

University of Sydney researchers have developed a zwitterionic coating which binds with water, creating a watery layer. This is demonstrated here where a heart drawn with the coating is revealed ...

On the other strip, the blood has gathered into a dark, wet clot. A swirl, painted in a zwitterionic substance, reveals itself by clinging on to this food-dyed water, demonstrating the water ...

Many antihistamines can cause drowsiness. It’s not recommended to take them for sleep, as little research backs up their effectiveness. Long-term use may also lead to harmful side effects.
