Even though antibiotics are used as feed additives to manage various animal bacterial infectious diseases, the continuous emergence of drug-resistant bacterial strains has limited their efficacy. Since plant essential oils have shown a significant antibacterial effect, it has been considered a potential candidate to alleviate the problem of antibiotic resistance. Study: Tea tree oil nanoliposomes: […]
A comprehensive review of research into the delivery method of estrogen treatment (e.g., oral, intramuscular injection, transdermal patch, etc.) and cardiovascular risk in transgender women and gender-diverse people found that treatment route may affect heart health, but there is not enough available data for metanalysis. The study is published ahead of print in the American […]
The widening gap between personal disposable income and the cost of housing is strongly linked to poor health, preventable deaths, and suicide, finds an international study of developed countries accepted for publication in the Journal of Epidemiology & Community Health. But state spending on unemployment and pensions benefits can lower these risks, as can policies […]
The spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in hospitals could be greatly reduced thanks to research by The University of Queensland and Queensland Health. A team including Dr Patrick Harris and Dr Brian Forde from UQ's Centre for Clinical Research used whole genomic sequencing as a surveillance tool to rapidly identify, track and disrupt the pathogens that […]
Exercise plays a significant role in training, rehabilitation, and a healthy lifestyle. These activities require different regimens based on the desired outcomes. For instance, unlike a senior citizen, an athlete can undertake a demanding exercise routine. An appropriate training program design should, therefore, be based on identifying and analyzing factors affecting individual training. Previous research […]

When I was about seven or eight, I asserted that I wanted to be a scientist, or so my parents told me years later, even though I would have had little idea of what that word meant. In my mind, I was perhaps associating it with making momentous discoveries that were immediately recognized and applauded […]
The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed weaknesses in cancer health systems and in the cancer research landscape across Europe, which, if not addressed as a matter of urgency, will set back cancer outcomes by almost a decade. In a new report, authors emphasize that prioritizing cancer research is crucial for European countries to deliver more affordable, […]
