Resistance to leading malaria drug
Some Ugandan children with complicated malaria have shown partial resistance to leading anti-malarial drug artemisinin. What challenge does this pose to treatment efficacy and raising concerns about the potential spread of drug-resistant strains.
We speak with Dr. Audrey Blewer, an epidemiologist and assistant professor in the School of Medicine at Duke University, about how 911 dispatchers providing CPR instructions can significantly improve bystander intervention rates, highlighting the critical role of telecommunicators in emergency response.
Additionally, does working from home increase the amount of sleep and exercise you can get? We discuss the impact of remote working on health and productivity.
Presenter: Claudia Hammond
Producer: Margaret Sessa-Hawkins and Katie Tomsett
