A recent study published in the journal Nature Microbiology found that when soil dries out, it can speed up the natural processes that create and spread antibiotic resistance.

New research suggests that many dog owners are not skilled in recognising pain in their pets as they might like to think. This could have significant consequences for the behaviour, health and welfare of our pets.

While the exact number is debated to this day, the principle holds: working memory is limited. And that limitation can shape how effectively we learn and remember things.

Others interfere with key cellular processes such as protein production or DNA replication, preventing bacteria from growing. Whatever their mechanism, antibiotics control infection by killing the bacteria that are causing it.

Many aspects of human anatomy are just “good enough” solutions – functional, but far from perfect. Some of the most familiar medical problems and ailments arise directly from these inherited constraints.

Latest research has now shown that not only doestormentil have antimicrobial activity, it may also be powerful enough to fightmicrobes that are resistant to modern antibiotics.

There is no reliable, real-time national data on the incidence of cancer in the country, though the dreaded disease is one of the major causes of the public health crisis.

The study represents one of the most comprehensive genomic analyses of eye pathogens from India to date.

Often described as a “silent pandemic”, antimicrobial resistance is currently one of the greatest threats to global health.

Artificial intelligence may be able to pass medicalexams. But practising medicine involves far more than answering questionscorrectly. It requires judgment, empathy and the ability to navigate thecomplexity that sits behind every clinical encounter. For now, at least, thatrequires people rather than bots. 

Research on yo-yo dieting has long indicated it can be harmful for your health. But a recent paper has now suggested yo-yo dieting might not be as unhealthy as we’ve been led to believe.
