Cancer is a sneaky foe, but scientists are fighting back with clever tools. One such tool is a special kind of antibody designed to target multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer. These antibodies are like smart missiles, programmed to seek out and attack cancer cells. Here's how they work: The an
In today's fast-paced world, spotting depression early is crucial. Long surveys can be a drag, so researchers are looking for quicker ways to do this. The PHQ-9, a popular 9-question survey, is often used to check for depressive symptoms. But what if there was a shorter version that still did the jo
In Dhaka, a terrible accident happened. A training jet from the Bangladesh Air Force crashed into a school. This happened in the afternoon when classes were in session.

Cats roaming the streets of Kazakhstan's bustling cities might be harboring more than just fur and whiskers. These feline friends could be carrying parasites like Toxocara cati, Toxoplasma gondii, and Giardia intestinalis, which can pose serious health risks to both cats and humans. A recent study
Cryptococcus gattii is a tricky fungus that can cause serious infections, even in healthy people. Doctors rely on antifungal drugs to treat these infections, but the fungus is becoming resistant. This is a growing concern, and scientists are working hard to find new solutions. In a recent study, re
Epilepsy is a condition that many people don't understand. In Japan, researchers wanted to know what people think about it. They made a special test to measure these thoughts and feelings. This test is called the ABLE-J. The test was given to 400 adults in Japan. It started with 29 questions but wa
In Singapore, scientists dug deep into the world of superbugs. They found that some bacteria in hospitals and sewers are becoming resistant to common antibiotics. These bacteria, like E. coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae, are tough to treat. They carry special genes that make them resistant to drugs li
Insulin resistance is a big deal. It messes with how our bodies handle glucose, leading to a bunch of health issues like high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and even heart problems. For many people, this resistance is a precursor to type 2 diabetes, often lingering for years before diagnosis. So,
Aging is not just about wrinkles and gray hair. It's a complex process that affects every part of our bodies at the molecular level. Scientists have been studying aging for years, but traditional methods only scratch the surface. That's where multiomics comes in. This approach combines data from var
ECMO, or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, is a lifesaver for kids with severe breathing problems. It's like a temporary lung, giving their own lungs a break to heal. Doctors are always learning more about how to use it best. New tech and better ways to manage ECMO are changing how doctors treat
