A "Game-Changer" for Acute Respiratory Attacks
|
Approved for severe asthma treatment in 2017, the monoclonal antibody benralizumab may also be a “game-changer” in treating acute asthma and COPD attacks. A UK trial found the drug is more effective than steroids for treating asthma and COPD exacerbations—improving symptoms, reducing treatment failures, lowering hospital visits, and outperforming steroids in
managing high-risk patients with inflammation. Researchers are calling this the first major advance in asthma and COPD care in 50 years.

UK Approves Assisted Suicide |
British lawmakers gave initial approval to a bill allowing terminally ill adults in England and Wales to seek assisted suicide. The proposal includes certain safeguards, such as requiring approval from two doctors and a High Court judge, but opponents warn of risks to vulnerable groups and are pushing instead for better palliative care. The bill
differs from the euthanasia laws in Canada and the Netherlands, which makes assisted death available to those who are not terminally ill.

Growth of Male Nursing |
The number of male registered nurses in the United States has tripled since 2000, rising to 400,000 in 2023. Drawn by nursing’s job stability, high pay, and range of opportunities, they are increasingly transitioning away from fields like manufacturing, where automation is becoming more popular (men tend to become RNs in their late 20s to early 30s, rather than as
their first job). They are especially gravitating towards the highest paying jobs, such as nurse anesthetist, where men earn $214,000 on average and now make up 46% of positions.
