EAGLES EYE UPDATE

The United Kingdom’s Home Office has asked some Nigerian nurses being probed for alleged examination fraud to leave the country. According to Nursing Times, the affected nurses are still awaiting the outcomes of their appeals. However, they have received official letters from the Home Office instructing them to leave the UK starting next week. The deportation order follows an ongoing probe by the UK’s Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) into suspected malpractice at Yunnik Technologies Test Centre in Ibadan, Nigeria. Campaigners and advocates have called on the regulator to expedite hearings to prevent the nurses from being repatriated before their appeals are fully considered. Peters Omoragbon, executive president of Nurses Across The Borders and president of the Diaspora Nurses Association of Nigeria, accused the NMC of “deliberately delaying” appeal hearings so that nurses could be served with notice from the Home Office. He told Nursing Times: “That saves them the troub...

C redit: Will Kirk / Johns Hopkins University Federal funding supports engineer Jeff Wang's work to create affordable devices that expand access to health care, leading to faster diagnosis and better health outcomes Johns Hopkins mechanical engineer  Tza-Huei (Jeff) Wang  has been working for almost 20 years to bring sophisticated medical testing to a lab on a chip, making advanced screening techniques so portable that first-class healthcare could one day be taken anywhere, including rural areas lacking full-scale medical labs or hospitals. Supported largely by funding from the National Institutes of Health, Wang's team develops small, inexpensive microfluidic devices that can diagnose diseases—from gonorrhea to esophageal cancer—using droplets of body fluid a tiny fraction of the size of a single human tear. This droplet is placed on a disposable chip the size of a USB thumb drive and inserted into a handheld machine...

Elizabethtown College is looking to fill in-demand healthcare jobs with a new program. Starting in the fall semester, students can major in Medical Laboratory Science. The program features two paths: a traditional four-year degree or spending three years at E-town and one receiving clinical training in a medical lab. “We often get students who have an interest in health care,” said Jeff Rood, a professor of chemistry and department chair at E-town. “They might not know what they want to do with that interest. So it’s just one more option for them to blend kind of the science and that health care field together for a career and one that is in demand.” A recent study by the American Society for Clinical Pathology showed demand for jobs in the field is expected to grow by 8 and a half percent over the next decade

Injections play a critical role in healthcare, but not all are the same. Here's a quick breakdown of the four main types and their common uses: 1 Intramuscular (IM): Delivered deep into the muscle for faster absorption. Examples: • Vaccines like tetanus or hepatitis B • Pain relievers like morphine • Hormonal injections like testosterone 2 Subcutaneous (SC): Injected into the fat layer beneath the skin for slower, steady absorption. Examples: • Insulin for diabetes management • Blood thinners like heparin • Hormone therapies like growth hormone 3 Intravenous (IV): Delivered directly into the bloodstream for immediate effects. Examples: • Antibiotics in critical infections • Chemotherapy for cancer treatment • Fluids or electrolytes for dehydration 4 Intradermal (ID): Injected into the top layer of the skin, used for diagnostic or localized purposes. Examples: • Tuberculosis (Mantoux) test Allergy testing • Local anesthesia for minor procedures Understanding these method...
