Rethinking Suicide Prevention: A Public Health Approach to a Global Problem

Rethinking Suicide Prevention: A Public Health Approach to a Global Problem

Suicide is a major public health crisis, claiming over 700,000 lives globally each year. Yet, despite its staggering toll, suicide is a preventable tragedy. A new framework is emerging that could transform how we approach this complex issue – by shifting the focus from individual-level risk factors to the broader social determinants that shape suicide risk across populations

Outwitting the Fungal Invaders: How Pathogens Hijack Our Immune Defenses

Outwitting the Fungal Invaders: How Pathogens Hijack Our Immune Defenses

Fungi are often overlooked as a major threat to human health, overshadowed by the more dramatic impacts of bacterial and viral infections. Yet these eukaryotic microbes pose a serious and growing danger, responsible for millions of deaths worldwide each year. And their success is largely due to their ability to manipulate the very immune defenses we rely on to keep us healthy.

The NHS at a Crossroads: Restoring Britain’s National Health Service

The NHS at a Crossroads: Restoring Britain’s National Health Service

The National Health Service (NHS) finds itself in a state of crisis, struggling with long waiting times, declining quality of care, and a growing gap between service demands and available resources. As the independent investigation led by Lord Darzi has revealed, the roots of this crisis run deep, stemming from a decade of austerity, the devastating impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, short sighted policy implementations and longstanding structural and systemic issues within the health service.

    on December, 2024 at 4:54 pm

    Using microparticles consisting of extremely thin petals, medicines can be delivered via the bloodstream in a precisely targeted manner, for example to a tumour or blood clot. Ultrasound and other acoustic procedures guide the particles through the body and reveal their locations. This makes the […]

After 11 years, Boston Dynamics has said goodbye to its humanoid robot ATLAS HD. The robotics company says it’s time for ATLAS to “kick back and relax” in retirement, letting the new all electric ATLAS take over. This video was shared to remember ATLAS HD’s great moments and those not so great.

 

Header Banner: Speed is the name of the game. The DarkDrug logo shows an Intel Xeon microchip die. Xeon is a brand of x86 microprocessors designed, manufactured, and marketed by Intel, targeted at the non-consumer workstation, server, and embedded system markets. It was introduced in June 1998. The advent ofoptical fibre cable has allowed the speed of data transmission to reach dizzy heights (shown in the DarkDrug logo). The field of applied science and engineering concerned with the design and application of optical fibers is known as fibre optics. The term was coined by Indian physicist Narinder Singh Kapany, who is widely acknowledged as the father of fibre optics.
