The 1972 Poisons Act was introduced to enable registered pharmacists, under the aegis of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society, to regulate the sale of non-medicinal poisons and subsequently of explosives precursors. Since then it has undergone several amendments, the latest of which is about to come into force (on 1 October 2023), under The Control of Poisons and Explosives Precursors Regulations 2023

Background Primary immune thrombocytopenia is an autoimmune disorder mediated partly by platelet autoantibodies, resulting in thrombocytopenia, bleeding, and constitutional symptoms. Efgartigimod, a first-in-class novel human IgG1 Fc fragment, binds the neonatal Fc receptor with high affinity and thus reduces serum IgG concentrations, including autoantibodies. The objective of this study was to evaluate

Incoherent new climate-policy messages by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak will dissolve the UK’s climate leadership, stifle innovation’s momentum and cost consumers.

Monolithic perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells are of great appeal as they promise high power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) at affordable cost. In state-of-the-art tandems, the perovskite top cell is electrically coupled to a silicon heterojunction bottom cell via a self-assembled monolayer (SAM), anchored on a transparent conductive oxide (TCO), which enables efficient charge transfer between the

The Anopheles mosquito is one of thousands of species in which sex differences play a central role in their biology, as only females need a blood meal in order to produce eggs. Sex differentiation is regulated by sex chromosomes, but their presence creates a dosage imbalance between males (XY) and females (XX). Dosage compensation (DC) can re-equilibrate the expression of sex-chromosomal genes, but

The UK is one of the world’s most nature depleted countries and at the current rate of decline and slow recovery, the nation will be less biodiverse 10 years from now than it is today.1 This loss of nature, combined with the impacts of climate change, have major implications for human health that need to be taken seriously. A report by the UK Health Alliance on Climate Change describes the loss of

The UK has experienced a rise in net migration over recent years, with 606 000 migrants arriving in the UK in 2022.1 But are we doing enough to support migrants to access and navigate the health system? While migrants to the UK are less likely to die from the most common causes of death compared with the rest of the population, they are more likely to die of infectious diseases when compared to UK

Smith argues that “perhaps only degrowth can save us” from ecological catastrophe.1 It won’t. Degrowth will make the ecological crisis worse. It is ecological iatrogenics2 or, if you will, economic quackery. The medical profession once fervently believed in bloodletting. Mozart and Beethoven’s deaths, among millions of others, were probably hastened by this treatment. Today, like Florence Nightingale
