Ukraine has the second-highest number of HIV cases in Europe, a fact easily forgotten amid Russia’s ongoing war. As of 2022, the Ukrainian Ministry of Health’s Public Health Center reported that over 157,000 Ukrainians are virus carriers. The dangers associated with HIV/AIDS have only escalated amid the war, as access to medical services becomes complicated and contact with blood increases. Awareness of the epidemic also deteriorates as both media and public attention shift toward more immediate threats. Ukraine has, however, become a regional leader in combating this epidemic, including throu...

Although roughly 1 in 8 Americans are reported to have used GLP-1 drugs to achieve their health goals, half experience intense side effects.

In the last decade, Ben has taken part in 15 paid clinical trials. The 37-year-old from Cambridge in the UK became a human guinea pig for the reason most people do: money. “I’d had my first child, and the childcare bill was more than I was earning per month. So I did trials using my annual leave entitlement to earn some extra cash,” Ben told Euronews Health. The very first trial he participated in was for an anti-inflammatory drug and run by Quotient Sciences, a UK-based drug development company. “(Quotient Sciences) were a really great team who explained the trial and risks to me fully.

A new meta-analysis of 148 studies estimates that 9.3 percent of patients who receive opioid prescriptions for chronic pain experience "dependence" or "opioid use disorder" (D&OUD).

They conclude that "problematic pharmaceutical opioid use appears to be common in chronic pain patients treated with opioid analgesics, with nearly one in 10 ex...

Fran Fernández's life changed completely on a summer day seven years ago in Algeciras, southern Spain. On 5 August 2017, he was hit by an explosion that burned 75% of his skin. When he arrived at the hospital, Fran was given no more than 48 hours to live, but today he has recovered thanks to more than a dozen operations and several grafts of both his own and artificial skin.

It is the first facility in Spain to apply the advanced therapy dubbed "...
