The ongoing opioid epidemic in the US kills tens of thousands of people each year. Naloxone, sold under the brand name Narcan, has saved countless lives by reversing opioid overdoses. But new and more powerful opioids continue to appear, and first responders are finding it increasingly difficult to revive people who overdose. Now, researchers have found an approach that could extend the life-saving power of naloxone, even in the face of increasingly dangerous opioids. A team of researchers from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Stanford University and the University of Florida have identified potential drugs that make…

Today we have the convenience of home pregnancy tests – handheld technology designed to detect a special pregnancy hormone, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), earlier than ever before. How do pregnancy tests work? Over-the-counter (OTC) pregnancy tests work by recognizing small amounts of hCG in your urine. hCG is a pregnancy hormone that your…
