Hospitals are trying out virtual nurses to fix their staffing problems. These virtual nurses use video and messaging to check on patients from far away. But a new study shows that this might not be the solution everyone hoped for. Researchers talked to 880 nurses from 10 different states. They foun
University students often have poor eating habits. This can lead to serious health problems. Many students eat too much junk food. They also don't get enough nutrients. This can cause hidden obesity. It can also lead to metabolic risks. Research shows that students' lifestyles affect their health.
Hospital stays can be tough on kids, but one hidden danger is blood clots. These clots, known as hospital-acquired venous thromboembolism (HA-VTE), can be serious. To figure out how often these clots happen, researchers looked at data from multiple hospitals. The CHAT risk assessment model had alrea
