See what thyroid function tests measure, including TSH, Free T3, and Free T4. Learn how these blood tests diagnose thyroid disorders and monitor thyroid health.
Inhaled antibiotics deliver drugs directly to lung infections, achieving better results with fewer side effects, which is a game-changer in fighting resistance.
Explaining The Reciprocity Between Your Brain and Your Belly For the past decade, the scientific community has increased its focus on mental health disorders including anxiety, depression,
Healthcare is changing faster than ever before. Thanks to breakthroughs in artificial intelligence (AI), genomics, and wearable technology, medicine is entering the era of smart health, where data, devices, and biology work together to create care tailored to the individual.
Scientific advancement drives growth, productivity, and long-term global competitiveness in advanced economies.
Vancomycin is an essential glycopeptide antibiotic used to treat life-threatening infections caused by Gram-positive bacteria, particularly Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). It functions by inhibiting bacterial cell-wall synthesis and is still the most potent drug to be used when others fail (Patel, Preuss, & Bernice, 2023).
Ever wondered how a pea plant experiment predicted your face? Let me tell you a story about a monk and his garden that sparked a scientific revolution.
How is sickle cell disease diagnosed? See the laboratory tests used to identify haemoglobin variants and understand common sickle cell results.
Discover why medical experts are rebranding Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) to PMOS, and what this metabolic shift means for patient wellness.
Can algorithms predict sickness before you feel it? Explore how AI is using smartwatch data and ECGs to detect diseases like Alzheimer's and AFib early.
Cells constantly sense signals from their environment and convert them into internal actions through biochemical signalling pathways.
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.
Evolution is often imagined as a process that unfolds over millions of years. However, in microorganisms such as yeasts, evolutionary changes can occur much more rapidly. Yeasts reproduce quickly, populations grow to large sizes, and genetic variations can spread through generations in a short time.
Drug repurposing is reshaping medicine. Discover how changing a drug's route of administration — not the molecule itself — can unlock new therapeutic potential.
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.
Selective oxidation reactions are central to modern biochemistry. They enable the controlled introduction of oxygen into organic molecules, a key step in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals. However, many of the enzymatic systems traditionally used for these transformations are complex and difficult to implement in practice.
In this study, I explore how cancer risk is distributed across the animal kingdom, emphasizing the role of life-history traits, reproductive strategies, and social behavior in shaping susceptibility to disease. Drawing on recent findings in comparative oncology, the article examines patterns that challenge traditional assumptions, such as the relationship between body size and cancer, and highlights evolutionary mechanisms that may confer resistance in certain species.
Agriculture has always been shaped by the seasons, the soil, and the skilled hands of the farmers who nurture the land. But in the last decade, a new change has quietly entered the fields - Data. As climatic changes are incalculable and the global population climbs towards 10 billion, farmers are being pushed to grow more food with fewer resources.
Too big, it hits your throat. Too small, you exhale it. The sweet spot delivers drugs exactly where they're needed.
Discover how the SNAP29 gene guides cellular traffic, and how its mutation leads to CEDNIK syndrome, affecting brain, nerves, and skin.
