- Stress is an external factor that exert pressure on biological systems, and heat stress occurs when animals can't regulate their body temperature due to excessive heat, leading to serious physiological issues.
- Common symptoms of heat stress include heat exhaustion, heat stroke, and cramps, which adversely affect the physiological functions, particularly reproductive capabilities, in mammalian species like ruminants.
- To combat heat stress and its negative impacts on reproduction, strategies such as modifying the microenvironment, nutritional adjustments, breeding heat-tolerant breeds, and using hormonal treatments are being developed to help farmers improve fertility rates in livestock.
Introduction Urethral catheterization is a routine procedure often required for many hospitalized patients. Various conditions, such as meatal stenosis, stricture urethra, false passage, benign prostatic hyperplasia, bladder neck contractures, and impacted urethral stones, can contribute to difficulty in catheterisation. In the setting of failed attempts at per urethral catheter placement, the subsequent intervention is suprapubic catheter (SPC) insertion.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the necessity of routine histopathology in tonsillectomy specimens, as current practices often overlook it due to cost and resource limitations.
- Conducted at a tertiary care center, the research involved analyzing tonsillectomy specimens from 111 patients; most common findings included chronic tonsillitis, while 8.10% of cases revealed significant abnormalities.
- Key factors associated with abnormal histopathology included tonsillar asymmetry, older age, and recent symptom onset, leading the authors to recommend routine histopathology, especially when certain risk factors are present.
'Antibiotics under our feet' is a Scottish citizen science project that aimed to raise science capital in primary school learners and their teachers through measurement of microbial diversity in urban soil samples in the search for novel antimicrobial compounds. Resistance to antibiotics is rising, posing a global threat to human health. Furthermore, science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) skills are in crisis, jeopardising our capacity to mobilise as a society to fight antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
