Antibiotic resistance is making common infections hard to treat. Learn why it happens, how it affects communities in Nigeria and beyond, and what we can do to protect these life-saving medicines.
You probably know this story: Aurora, also known as the Sleeping Beauty, was a kind princess who was cursed by an angry fairy and fell into a deep sleep for years. On her sixteenth birthday, she pricked her finger, and the spell came true. Silence covered the land, and the entire kingdom fell asleep with her.

As a pharmacist during clinical clerking, I frequently encounter patients who use the term “toilet infections” to describe symptoms that clinically align with bacterial vaginosis, urinary tract infections, or yeast infections. This widespread misconception often stems from the assumption that symptoms occurring after the use of public toilets must be caused by them.
A magnificent nonsurgical radiofrequency (RF) therapy, which involves using energy waves to heat the dermis (the deep layer of the skin), has evolved as one of the finest treatments for skin tightening. The healthcare provider uses an electromagnetic device that generates heat to stimulate collagen production, the production of elastin, and the growth of new skin cells. This therapy helps firm and lift sagging skin. However, the results are temporary.
Out of so many mental disorders, a rare disorder is the Fregoli delusion or Fregoli syndrome (FS), in which an individual holds a delusional belief that different people are in fact a single person, who keeps on changing appearances quickly or is in disguise. People affected with this condition often experience anxiety, paranoia, and agitation. It can impact the patient’s mental health and their safety and the safety of others.
The Internet has transformed the world, connecting people, information, and resources in unprecedented ways, even beyond physical boundaries. What began as a small research project has now grown into a global system that supports billions of devices and enables nearly every aspect of modern life. In this article, we will explore the major discoveries and milestones that contributed to the development of the Internet.
The dark fantasy adventure “Alice in Wonderland” has gained widespread appreciation among audiences. However, the Alice in Wonderland Syndrome (AWS), a brain-related condition, is not something anyone would ever love to experience or witness.
These innovative testes, derived from meticulously cultured mouse cells, closely mimic the structure of natural testes, featuring the complex network of sperm tubes essential for reproduction.
Mathematics is often described as the universal language of the universe, a field that transcends cultures and eras to provide the tools for understanding the world. From the ancient geometries of Egypt to modern computational algorithms, mathematics is at the heart of human discovery and technological progress.
Ageing is accompanied by a gradual decline in physiological functions, among which deterioration of the immune system termed immunosenescence—has profound implications for human health.
Depression has affected humans for hundreds of years. Symptoms can include persistent feelings
of sadness, sleep disturbances, anxiety, and a loss of interest in social activities. Science doesn’t
yet fully understand the causes and effects, but here’s what we do know: the brain is a powerful
organ, and it is capable of change. Made up of a wide network of connections, it relies on
chemicals, electrical impulses, and billions of neurons. Let’s explore how brain science
You slept last night and woke up with a pimple popping up on your face! It would make you feel angry and depressed. Isn’t it? This could be hormonal acne. Hormonal acne could appear as common forms of acne, such as whiteheads, or more severe types of acne, such as nodules and cysts. Let us delve into and learn more about hormonal acne and various ways to deal with it.
(DCTs) are redefining how pharmaceutical studies are designed, conducted, and analyzed by moving away from traditional site-centric models toward patient-centric, digitally enabled trial ecosystems.
This article makes those steps explicit. I describe a repeatable cognitive pipeline I call Stained-Glass Thinking, which I have used consistently throughout the development of Relational Field Theory (RFT).
Explore how Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) works, its role in hard-to-abate industries, and how geology helps trap CO₂ to combat climate change.
Title 21 Part 820 of the Code Of Federal Regulations (CFR) details the requirements for the design and production of medical devices. These strict, comprehensive requirements are in place for good reason, we want these devices to work.
Many times, individuals feel fearful or extremely worried about cancer testing. The regular tests and scans that patients living with any cancer diagnosis have to undergo, to monitor their condition, can make them feel anxious before, during, or after a scan or a follow-up test
