Each year antimicrobial resistance—the ability of microbes to survive agents designed to kill them— claims more lives than malaria and HIV/Aids combined. Africa bears the brunt of this development, which thrives on inequality and poverty. Nadine Dreyer asked Tom Nyirenda, a research scientist with over 27 years’ experience in infectious diseases, what health organizations on the continent are doing to […]

Reviewed Between 17 and 24 million people worldwide suffer from chronic fatigue syndrome, a deeply debilitating and difficult-to-diagnose condition. Also known as myalgic encephalomyelitis, according to the World Health Organization, this condition causes a wide range of symptoms that combine to produce a debilitating, difficult-to-explain feeling of extreme, chronic fatigue, including difficulty sleeping and feeling unwell after exertion.

What is the mechanism that allows our brains to incorporate new information about the world, and form memories? New work by a team of neuroscientists led by Dr. Tomás Ryan from Trinity College Dublin shows that learning occurs through the continuous formation of new connectivity patterns between specific engram cells in different regions of the brain. Whether on purpose, incidentally, […]

For decades, limited data have been available when researching health and health care access in the American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) population due to historical, cultural, ethical and legal reasons. One notable example in 1989 is the unethical use of blood samples from members of the Havasupai Tribe. The participants consented to provide their blood to determine genetic links […]

Babies as young as four months old can make sense of how their bodies interact with the space around them, according to new research from the University of Birmingham. The findings, published in Scientific Reports, shed new light on how self-awareness develops. Experts from the Birmingham BabyLab showed babies a ball on a screen moving towards or away from them.
