Most of the parasites infect humans through the consumption of raw or undercooked food, especially seafood. Angiostrongylus cantonensis, commonly called the rat lungworm, is one of the most worrisome parasites since the infection may lead to serious neurological conditions such as eosinophilic meningitis. They are commonly acquired through the consumption of contaminated crustaceans, mollusks, and fish, and the manifestation varies from simple discomfort to severe lethal illness. This article presents a case of a 60-year-old woman to explain the risks of these infections and the importance of food handling, cooking practices, and raising public awareness to avoid such outcomes.

The process of customizing healthcare with the help of 3D printing is revolutionizing the healthcare industry, as it would be impossible to imagine a world without 3D printing. This innovative technology is allowing us to create prosthetics, implants, surgical assistance devices, and even human tissues specific to the patient. By enabling the production of intricate and personalized medical devices, 3D printing is improving patient outcomes and lowering costs while improving surgical precision. While researchers are unlocking biological secrets to expand the capabilities of bioprinting, work to fabricate skin, tissue, and viable organs has accelerated. But innovation brings risks, too: legal, ethical, practical, and technical constraints. So read on to learn more about 3D printing and the future of medicine!

Radiology is one of the professions that has benefited from artificial intelligence (AI) as the future holds huge prospects in imaging. Machine learning and deep learning help AI improve diagnosis based on medical images and decrease time for analysis of X-ray, CT, and MRI. It is helping in early diagnosis of diseases and with accuracy and has changed the face of healthcare delivery. In the following article, we discuss the use of artificial intelligence in radiology, the pros and cons, and the evolution of using AI in healthcare facilities.

Healthcare is changing fast, and targeted medicine has been taking over this change for quite a while. Unlike traditional treatments, instead of affecting your entire body, targeted medicine delivers the medication exactly where it’s needed, nothing more, nothing less. This is done with the help of advances like nanotechnology, liposomes, and bioengineered carriers. Now, treatments are becoming smarter, less invasive, and more effective than ever.

Even though we’re more connected than ever, loneliness and social isolation remain big health issues. Being socially isolated has always been linked to poor mental and physical health, but new research shows it goes even deeper and affects us at a cellular level. Studies suggest that social isolation speeds up how our cells age which can ultimately lead to chronic diseases and eventually shorten our lives. In this article, we will explore the biological mechanisms that link social isolation to cellular aging, the long-term consequences, and strategies for mitigating its effects.
