Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to transform public health. But to make the most of it, everyone should be part of the conversation. Think about it like this: public health experts have given us life-changing innovations, like vaccines and clean water. Now, they're facing a big challe
Imagine you're a nurse in a remote Jordanian hospital. You're used to long hours and tough conditions, but something else is lurking in the background – workplace violence (WPV). Shockingly, a third of all WPV globally happens in the health sector, and Jordanian nurses seem to be dealing with an und
Have you ever wondered how much our past traumas can affect our mental health? Researchers have been digging deep into the connections between upsets we face as kids and the mental health issues we encounter later in life. Two of these confusing conditions are dissociative psychosis and dissociative
In the bustling city of Zhuhai, China, healthcare workers face a significant challenge: workplace violence (WPV) from patients. This issue goes beyond just physical harm; it can deeply affect their mental well-being. A recent study dived into how WPV from patients is linked to common mental health i
Suicide is a major health issue worldwide, ranking as the fourth leading cause of death among young people aged 15 to 29. To better understand this complex problem, researchers aimed to identify key risk factors connected with violent and non-violent suicide methods. They conducted a large-scale stu
Brain inflammation, a significant factor in neurodegenerative diseases, is managed by tiny immune cells called microglia. These cells can be pro-inflammatory (M1) or anti-inflammatory (M2). We know that human stem cells from umbilical cords (hUCMSCs) can release substances that reduce inflammation.
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is tough to tackle due to issues like poor blood vessels and high tumor cell load. These problems make it hard for CAR-T cells, a type of immune cell therapy, to work well. Researchers found that when there are fewer CAR-T cells compared to tumor cells, the immun
Imagine if detecting skin cancer could be as simple as snapping a picture. Scientists are working on just that! They're using a special kind of computer program called convolutional neural networks (CNNs), and these aren't your average programs. They're like super-smart detectives that can spot patt
Lots of people have both coronary artery disease and valvular heart disease. This means they often need two big surgeries: coronary artery bypass grafting and valve replacement or repair. After these procedures, doctors usually prescribe a mix of anticoagulants and antiplatelets to prevent blood clo
Have you ever heard about people who suddenly withdraw from their social lives for long periods? This condition is called Hikikomori. It's not just about being shy; it's a complex issue that affects people’s daily routines and their families. Some individuals with Hikikomori might seem fine, while o
