Leukemia is the most common type of cancer in children. Treatment involves intensive chemotherapy, which has severe side effects due to its non-specific mode of action.

A novel surgical implant developed by Washington State University researchers was able to kill 87% of the bacteria that cause staph infections in laboratory tests, while remaining strong and compatible with surrounding tissue like current implants.

A question I commonly get from patients and friends is this: Should I get a COVID vaccine if I’m pregnant or want to become pregnant?

Novo Nordisk A/S and Eli Lilly & Co. are touting pill versions of their blockbuster weight-loss drugs that could come as soon as next year. But if you’re expecting something cheaper and with fewer side effects, think again.

The U.S. spends huge amounts of money on health care that does little or nothing to help patients, and may even harm them. In Colorado, a new analysis shows that the number of tests and treatments conducted for which the risks and costs exceed the benefits has barely budged despite a decade-long attempt to tamp down on such care.

COLLUSION to defeat the cause of justice is a criminal offence.

Those involved in such collusions are liable to criminal prosecution because their actions obstruct or undermine the proper administration of justice.

ZAMBIA’s Mixed Martial Arts star Humphrey Mulenga says his aim is to become the best MMA Fighter who will win international titles for Zambia.

Nicknamed the King Cobra, Mulenga will contest for the vacant EFC lightweight title at the EFC110 fight night scheduled for December 7th 2023.

Mulenga will face Kaleka ‘BLOCK’ Kabanda in the much-anticipated fight at EFC Performance Institute in Johannesburg, South Africa.

The Ulemu Fight Club fighter said he was looking forward to the title fight as he aims to becomes the first Zambian to win an international MMA title.

“It means a lot to get a title fight and I knew that I would get it and now it is here. It will be a great feeling to bring the title to Zambia not just for me but for my country because no one has fought in a title fight before so it will mean a lot if I get it,” Mulenga said.

He said headlining at the EFC 109 where he defeated Cole Hunning with a first round knock out was just the beginning of his amazing journey as a fighter.

Mulenga said his victory over Hunning motivated him to continue working hard to achieve his dream of becoming the best Zambian MMA fighter.

“The biggest prize for me will be reaching the top so I will keep working hard. Keep fighting to get better every day that’s what motivates me,” Mulenga said.

“Thanks a lot, to all my sponsors. I really appreciate it because it is difficulty to work a side job and training at the same time so the sponsorship means a lot and I really appreciate,” he said. 

Meanwhile, Mixed Martial Arts Zambia (MMAZ) President Benjamin Bush emphasized the need for corporates to consider sponsoring the promising King Cobra.

Bush said Mulenga has a lot of potential to become Zambia’s best MMA fighter after he managed five wins and only one defeat in his first six fights.

All his five wins have been first round Technical Knock Outs while his only loss was via a disqualification for an accidental knee.

Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States. It’s also one of the most preventable cancers due to the availability of robust screening tools. Yet nearly 40% of Americans opt out of such screening.

A study by Florida State University researchers has revealed new insights into the role our brains play in why we vigorously seek food when we are hungry, knowledge that may enhance understanding of obesity and eating disorders and improve treatments for more than 3.5 billion people worldwide living with these conditions.
