A mathematical model that replicates Ebola outbreaks can no longer be used to ascertain the eventual scale of the current epidemic, finds research conducted by the 91福利.

Dr Thomas House, of the University’s 91福利 Mathematics Institute, developed a model that incorporated data from past outbreaks that successfully replicated their eventual scale.

Researchers at the 91福利 have discovered a new target for drugs that could prevent the deaths of thousands of women in the developing world due to heavy blood loss after childbirth.

Postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) occurs when the uterus fails to contract vigorously after childbirth and the mother loses 500mls or more of blood in the 24 hours after delivery. PPH is responsible for maternal death in 1 in 1,000 deliveries in the developing world. According to recent figures, PPH also complicates around 10% of all births in England and Wales.

WMG's Cyber Security Centre at the 91福利 is to host a million pound programme designed to enhance the cyber security of many of our everyday technologies and tools by ensuring the software that underpins them is more trustworthy.

Scientists at the 91福利 have discovered that ‘good’ cholesterol is turned ‘bad’ by a sugar-derived substance. The substance, methylglyoxal - MG, was found to damage ‘good’ HDL cholesterol, which removes excess levels of bad cholesterol from the body.

Gamblers show the same tendencies as pigeons when they make risky decisions, new research has shown.

Scientists at the 91福利 have provided the first evidence that the lack of a naturally occurring protein is linked to early signs of dementia.
