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.

With measles making a comeback in many upper-income countries including the United States and still rampant in some poorer nations such as Democratic Republic of Congo and Madagascar, a leading measles expert is warning of a danger beyond the spread of the disease itself: There's mounting evidence that when a person is infected with measles, the virus also wipes out the immune system's memory of how to fight off all sorts of other life-threatening infections – ranging from gastro-intestinal bugs that cause diarrhea to respiratory viruses that trigger pneumonia.

On America's college campuses, there are epidemics we talk about and those we don't. There's sexual assault. There are fraternity hazing deaths. And in both cases, the attention of the nation usually turns to these issues only after a tragedy has occurred: after Penn State freshman Timothy Piazza dies from consuming 18 drinks in 82 minutes; after Brock Turner sexually assaults an unconscious woman behind a dumpster at Stanford.
Look deeper, however, and these epidemics have something in common: the pervasive and problematic drinking culture among American youth.

 In the United States, urinary tract infections account for more than 8-10 million office visits and 100,000 hospitalizations each year. Women are significantly more likely to experience a UTI than men. According to Professor Mark Schembri from the University of Queensland's School of Chemistry and Molecular Biosciences, the problem of UTIs is magnified by increasing antimicrobial resistance, and antibiotic treatments can sometimes just stop working on some patients, with dire results. A recent study, performed in collaboration with researchers from the University of Utah, followed a long-term recurrent UTI sufferer, using genetic analysis to find out whether the infection came from a single bacterial "reservoir" in the body.

By 2030, every one of the 78 million baby boomers will be over 65, reports the U.S. Census Bureau, a figure that will exceed the number of children for the first time in history. These are staggering statistics, and to effectively care for all these aging adults, providers must implement solutions today.While healthcare providers are aware of these statistics, and many health systems are already hitting upon effective solutions to care for older adults, there's an overall lack of consistency in how systems approach this challenge.

 One of the biggest successes in interior design in recent years has been the recognition that the design of healthcare interiors can have a significant impact on patient experience and, consequently, health outcomes. For more than two decades, research and case studies have documented various ways in which patient-centered improvements to the interior environment can make positive contributions to patients’ physiological and psychological health. Over time, the list has grown as investigators, building on previous research, have explored patients’ responses in a variety of healthcare settings more deeply.

Inflammation is part of the body's natural response to harmful stimuli, such as irritants, damaged cells, and pathogens.
The body uses this process to eliminate the threat, clear out damaged cells, and repair tissues.
Although inflammation is a force for good, if it continues for extended periods, which doctors refer to as chronic inflammation, it can lead to health issues.
Over recent years, it has become clear that inflammation can cause or advance several common diseases.
However, to date, little is known about how inflammation in early adulthood might influence health in later life.
A new research letter that features in JAMA Pediatrics investigates this question.
