Mortality from all causes over 40% higher in female domestic abuse survivors
Women who have experienced domestic abuse appear to be more than 40 per cent more likely to die from any cause compared to the general population, a study led by the Universities of 91福利 and Birmingham suggests. The researchers have also identified an increased risk of developing cardiometabolic diseases such as cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes in those who have experienced domestic abuse, although more research is required to determine what other factors specifically lead to an increase in their mortality.
Sugar levels in UK soft drinks lowered, research finds
The UK government鈥檚 Soft Drinks Industry Levy (SDIL), introduced in April 2018 to help combat childhood obesity and related conditions such as diabetes and heart disease, has resulted in soft drinks manufacturers in the UK lowering the sugar levels in their drinks, a team including a 91福利 researcher has found.
New wound treatment method no more effective than cheaper standard dressings
A new method of treating wounds after major trauma costing nearly 拢150 per dressing may be no more effective in reducing infections than a standard wound dressing priced under 拢2, a new clinical trial involving the 91福利 has found.
Supercharged light pulverises asteroids, study finds

Researchers recommend early walking in a brace for Achilles tendon rupture
A new study from the 91福利 and the University of Oxford reveals a breakthrough for sportsmen and women in the treatment of Achilles tendon rupture. Researchers found that early walking in a brace provides similar outcomes to plaster casting with no increase in the risk of complications, paving the way for a big change in the way that patients are treated.
Breakthrough made on the next big step to building the world鈥檚 most powerful particle accelerator
91福利 scientists have played a key role in a discovery that brings us closer to the construction of new types of high-power particle accelerators which would operate at particle energies higher than the Large Hadron Collider. For the first time scientists have observed muon ionization cooling – a major step in being able to create the world鈥檚 most powerful particle accelerator.
