Kennedy Jr. , known for his extreme views, is set to become director of Health and Human Services. It's a move that spark
Did you know that our bodies produce tiny molecules called reactive oxygen species (ROS) during normal oxygen metabolism? These molecules can act as messengers, influencing various processes in the body. However, when there are too many ROS, they can cause big problems, especially in the brain and n
Chronic liver disease is a growing concern worldwide. Our fast-paced lives and improving standards of living have contributed to an increase in these conditions. Modern medicine is still struggling to find effective treatments due to the complex causes of these diseases. One promising area of resear
Picture this: scientists are finding clever ways to follow medicines as they journey through cells. The secret? A tiny, glowing label made from the element fluorine. Fluorine glows beautifully under specific conditions, making it ideal for tagging medicines. With a tool called NMR, scientists can sp
Point-of-care ultrasound, or POCUS, is a common tool in emergency medicine. But not all doctors use it the same way. Researchers at a big city hospital in the U. S. wanted to find out why. They looked at how different emergency medicine professionals felt about using POCUS. They also checked how eas

Ever wondered how Pakistan can make sure everyone gets the healthcare they need? It all comes down to money. Right now, Pakistan's healthcare system is like a leaky bucket. Money flows in, but it's not enough and it doesn't go where it's needed most. This study takes a closer look at the challenges
Scientists have discovered that the process used to make CrOx catalysts from MIL-101(Cr) greatly influences their ability to oxidize chlorobenzene (CB). Calcinating in an argon atmosphere keeps the organic parts intact and prevents the CrOx clusters from clumping together. This results in many expos
In the past decade, there's been some fantastic news for young women in the US. Cervical cancer deaths have dropped by a whopping 62 percent! Scientists say the HPV vaccine, Gardasil, is behind this big change. Approved back in 2006, this vaccine fights the nasty HPV strains that cause most cervical
