Despite being on other sides of the planet, Jakarta and Iowa are staring down similar issues regarding water hygiene and supply.
The finding arose from long-term follow-up of patients who received human growth hormone that was taken from brain tissue of deceased donors, but the risk is very low – and you can’t “catch” it like a virus.
Antibiotics have been around for less than a century. But as resistant bacteria become increasingly difficult to treat, we risk a greater number of deaths from infections.
What began as a heart research project looking at ways to understand a potentially fatal but preventable disease has evolved from the biomedical into one more in keeping with an Indigenous perspective.
