Hospital stays for mental health in the UK often focus on people with psychosis, who make up about half of all admissions. More than 50% of these patients end up back in the hospital within seven years, showing how common repeat treatments are. While recovery plans usually depend on trust and teamwo
Hospitals across the country face a mounting problem: many imaging rooms sit empty because there aren’t enough trained technologists. In 2026, the vacancy rate for radiologic techs hit 18 %, slowing patient care and overloading current staff. To tackle this, a new program offers up to 5 000 scho
Cooking with beef tallow sounds like a time machine to the Eisenhower era. Back then, heart disease was the top killer and doctors blamed fatty foods. Today, scientists still warn that tallow is packed with artery-clogging saturated fat—six times more per spoonful than canola oil. Yet some wellness
Hospitals face a tough balancing act when picking new medical equipment. They need machines that work well and won't break the bank. The World Health Organization offers guidelines to help with this decision. These recommendations focus on two big things: what hospitals actually need and how to get
Hospitals across the U. S. are seeing more parents say no to basic newborn treatments once considered automatic. At one Idaho hospital, half the babies one day didn’t get a vitamin K shot that prevents dangerous bleeding – a routine shot since the 1960s. Doctors worry this trend extends beyond vacci
Children who grow up with Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) caused by a 21‑hydroxylase enzyme problem often show changes in body weight that differ from their peers. Scientists track a key moment called adiposity rebound, when the body mass index (BMI) stops falling and begins to climb again a
Hospitals often juggle money like a game of hide‑and‑seek. Bills arrive months after a visit, insurance companies cut costs, and staff must sift through endless spreadsheets to know what’s owed. The result? A blurry picture that can force clinics in rural areas to shut down and leave patients scr
Children in Karaganda, a city in Kazakhstan, spend a lot of time on social media platforms like YouTube, TikTok and Instagram. The videos they watch often contain food ads that try to make snacks look tasty and fun. A new study looked at how these kids feel about those ads and how often they s
Hospitals are always looking for ways to manage their resources better. One big challenge is figuring out how long patients will stay in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Too many patients can mean beds are full, and too few can mean beds are empty. This is where smart computers, or machine learning (M
Hospitals often use alarms to alert staff when patients at risk of falling try to move around. But do these alarms actually work? A recent study put them to the test. The study was a randomized clinical trial. This means patients were randomly assigned to either have an alarm or not. The goal was t
