You can find a nurse navigating city streets, on her way to a home visit. Or maybe he is recording educational videos on preventing ear infections. She might even be running for city council.
Nurses are taking on new and expanded roles in healthcare, a prominent theme at the National Academy of Medicine’s three regional town halls this summer on the future of nursing. As healthcare becomes more complex and stretches beyond traditional settings, nurses are charting new paths in areas such as health system leadership, clinical research, and digital health.

According to WHO, of the 43.5 million health workers in the world, it is estimated that 20.7 million are nurses and midwives, yet 50% of WHO member states report less than three nursing and midwifery personnel per 1000 state individuals (and about 25% report to have less than 1 per 1000).
Seeing the importance of the demand for nursing and healthcare in education, research and profession, Research International aims to build a platform by organizing the “World Congress on Nursing and Healthcare," which is slated for Nov. 20-21, 2019, in Paris, France.
We are privileged to invite you to this prestigious event.

Well-funded and well-rounded antimicrobial stewardship programs are critical in the fight against antimicrobial resistance, and including clinical nurses in antimicrobial stewardship interventions could help expand resources, researchers said.
Although the specific responsibilities for clinical nurses in antimicrobial stewardship programs have been outlined by the CDC and the American Nurses Association, there is not a great deal of information, evidence or data in the literature concerning prescribers’ attitudes toward the involvement of clinical nurses in antimicrobial stewardship efforts, according to William G. Greendyke, MD, assistant professor of medicine at Columbia University Irving Medical Center and associate hospital epidemiologist at New York-Presbyterian Hospital, and colleagues.

CDC data show opioid deaths dropped 4.6 percent overall during a 12-month period that encompassed 2017 and 2018, but there was an 11.1 percent increase in opioid deaths related to illicitly manufactured fentanyl.
In addition, there was a decrease in prescription opioid deaths not involving illicit opioids and illicit synthetic opioids
Benzodiazepines, cocaine or methamphetamine were present in 62.6 percent of opioid deaths, researchers said.
The data, from July to December 2017 to January to June 2018 and from 25 states and the District of Columbia, were reported in MMWR.

An investigation by U.S. health authorities into whether e-cigarettes can cause seizures was triggered by a handful of people who reportedly used Juul devices, according to Food and Drug Administration documents.
“No proof of causality, but at a minimum, an association with Juul,” Mitch Zeller, director of the FDA’s Center for Tobacco Products, emailed then-FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb on Oct. 15. The agency’s communications about Juul were obtained by Bloomberg through a public-records request. The FDA hasn’t previously identified any one manufacturer’s device as being tied to the seizures, and Bloomberg’s report is the first confirmation that people specifically said they had used a Juul device.

 Robots and artificial intelligence are becoming increasingly pervasive in most aspects of 21st-century life, including healthcare, medicine, and nursing. Fears abound that jobs are going to be lost to machines that can do our jobs 24/7 without needing to be paid or call out when the kids are home sick from school. Are these fears well-founded, or are we looking down the wrong tech rabbit hole? The reality of healthcare technology in 2019 isn't necessarily a robot revolution, but things are changing and some concern is understandable.

Measles has returned to four European nations previously seen as free of the illness, according to the World Health Organization.
The disease is no longer considered eradicated in Albania, the Czech Republic, Greece and the UK.
"We are backsliding, we are on the wrong track," said Kate O'Brien of the WHO's Immunization Department.

The second-largest, second-deadliest Ebola outbreak in history has exceeded 3,000 cases and 2,000 deaths as the yearlong epidemic continues despite access to an experimental vaccine and developmental treatments. The grim milestone comes a month after the World Health Organization, the global health arm of the United Nations, declared the ongoing outbreak an international emergency. The WHO's director-general has described the outbreak as more complex than the deadlier 2014-2016 epidemic in West Africa due to the region's political and security instability, attacks on health workers, a highly mobile population and community mistrust and misinformation.

Next-gen hepatitis C meds typically cure the disease with minimal side effects. But the FDA says it's tracking rare cases of liver damage, liver failure and death in patients using some top-selling drugs—mostly patients who shouldn't have been using the drugs in the first place.

In a 2016 article in the American Journal of Medicine, a team of doctors from Harvard Medical School in Boston, MA, reviewed the FDA-approved anti-obesity drugs available in the United States. Among the side effects were dizziness, nausea, constipation, insomnia, dry mouth, and vomiting.
"Anti-obesity drugs under development have been directed toward restriction of caloric intake by acting on the gastrointestinal tract or the central nervous system. However, most of these drugs have shown little efficacy accompanied by severe side effects," explain the authors of a new study featured in Genome Research.

Researchers have discovered a scorpion toxin that targets the "wasabi receptor," a chemical-sensing protein found in nerve cells that's responsible for the sinus-jolting sting of wasabi. Because the toxin triggers a pain response, scientists think it can be used as a tool for studying chronic pain and inflammation, and may eventually lead to the development of new kinds of non-opioid pain relievers.

Mosquitos can cause significant human suffering, so researchers are looking for innovative ways to prevent them from spreading disease. One recent paper has investigated graphene. Graphene is a single layer of carbon atoms. It boasts a range of impressive properties that have made it interesting to many scientists. For example, it is stronger than steel, conducts heat and electricity incredibly efficiently, and is invisible to the naked eye.
