Nursing students need to be quick on their feet. They must know how to handle emergencies. But how can they get better at their jobs? A recent experiment tried to find out if 3D tech could help. It split first-year nursing students into two groups. One group learned the old-fashioned way. The other
Wildlife in farm areas often eat seeds from crops. These seeds might have pesticide left on them. This is important because it can affect birds and mammals. The EU has rules to check if these pesticides are safe. But the rules use old data. This data might not be accurate. A new study looked at thi

Chronic myeloid leukemia, or CML, is a blood cancer that's defined by a specific genetic change. Doctors have been using drugs that target this change, called tyrosine kinase inhibitors, to treat CML. These drugs have been a game-changer, but some patients don't respond well and their condition wors
Doctors and scientists face a big challenge. They must treat infections effectively. But they also need to consider what is fair and safe for patients. This is where ethics play a crucial role. Ethics act as a compass. They help people make decisions that are right and just. In the medical field, e
Older adults often take medications that can affect their daily activities. One type of drug, called anticholinergics, has been linked to a decline in physical abilities. These drugs block a natural chemical in the body called acetylcholine, which helps with muscle movement and other functions. Res
Scientists are always looking for better ways to make medicines last longer and work better. One big challenge is keeping proteins, like those in some drugs, stable when they are dried out. Trehalose is a sugar that is often used to help protect these proteins. But there's a problem: trehalose can c
Research in hospitals is vital for medical progress, but it comes with big ethical questions. When patients are sick and in the hospital, it's not always easy to do research the right way. Doctors and researchers must think carefully about how to protect patients while still learning new things. Th
Kids need to move around to stay healthy. But when they have cancer, it's tough to keep up with physical activity. This can make them feel worse and lower their overall well-being. In Ecuador, many kids don't get enough exercise. Only a few spend more than an hour a week being active. This is a big
