Scientists in Australia just made a stunning discovery. They found a special protein in the blood of Sydney rock oysters that can kill bacteria and make our current antibiotics work better. This is a big deal because bacteria are getting smarter and tougher, leading to what experts call a "looming g
Dermoscopy is a tool that helps doctors look at tiny details on the skin that are usually invisible to the naked eye. It's becoming really important in finding skin cancers early and telling different skin conditions apart. Many countries recommend using dermoscopy to spot skin cancers. But no one h
Imagine a tiny team of heroes fighting cancer. That's what scientists have created with manganese-based nanoparticles (let's call them MNP) and platinum-based nanoparticles (PnP). These tiny warriors activate a special pathway called cGAS-STING in the body, which helps the immune system fight back.
The Dassault Falcon 6X is a buzzworthy business jet that's been turning heads since its introduction in late 2023. This French-made marvel, a stretched version of the Falcon 5X, entered service after a few hiccups with its initial engine choice. But with its new Pratt & Whitney engines, it's ready t
When facing advanced biliary tract cancer (BTC), patients often need second-line chemotherapy after the first treatment fails. This review digs into the available evidence to help doctors and patients make informed choices. By comparing different chemo options using a method called network meta-anal
Scientists were curious to see if two native UAE plants, Arthrocnemum macrostachyum and Tamarix nilotica, could fight cancer. They tried two ways to get chemicals out of the plants: leaving them in a liquid (maceration) and heating them up with microwaves (microwave-assisted extraction or MAE). They
Imagine tiny, Y-shaped sensors that are almost too small to see. These microscopic guardians work day and night to ensure our food is safe. They glow when everything is okay, but if dangerous bacteria like Fusobacterium nucleatum or Salmonella pullorum appear, they start to dim. Inside these little
China introduced long-term care (LTC) insurance in 2016, aiming to reduce risks for those needing long-term care. This policy's impact on workers with and without informal coverage was examined. Workers eligible for public LTC insurance reduced their work hours and labor participation, suggesting th
Imagine you're trying to have a baby but keep losing pregnancies. Doctors call this recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL). Some women with RPL have antinuclear antibodies (ANA) in their blood. Scientists wanted to see if a treatment called lymphocyte immunotherapy (LIT) could help these women. They studied
