A new study has shown that mobile health (mHealth) devices are able to screen for the common cardiac disorder called atrial fibrillation (AF). This condition which affects about a million people in the UK denotes an irregular heartbeat (called arrhythmia) originating in the abnormal fluttering contraction of the heart’s upper chambers, or atria. In contrast, the normal…

The research study discovering antibiotic resistance does not spread only where; and when antibiotics are used in large quantities, ETH researchers conclude from laboratory experiments. Reducing antibiotic use alone is therefore not sufficient to curtail resistance; and should be done in conjunction with measures to prevent infection with resistant germs. Bacteria are becoming increasingly resistant…
