Caesarians increase risk of postnatal depression
A major new study conducted by the University of York, and published in the Journal of Health Economics, provides new evidence that emergency C-sections put new mothers at greater risk of experiencing mental health problems after giving birth.
The study has revealed first-time mothers who give birth via unplanned caesarean section are 15% more likely to experience postnatal depression. Furthermore, the numbers of C-sections performed worldwide have increased dramatically in many developed countries over the past few decades

The author of the study is calling for more mental health support for women whose babies are delivered via emergency caesarean section, or C-section — a surgical procedure usually carried out because of complications during labour.

Is breakfast the most important meal of the day?
Will eating a good breakfast improve your energy through the day and help you loose weight? Recent research published in the British Medical Journal suggests that this might not be the case. Recommending the inclusion of breakfast to adults seeking weight loss guidance might not be a good plan, as it could have the opposite effect.

ScrubUp App helps inexperienced perioperative nurses
Perioperative nurse and ScrubApp inventor Marrianne McGhee has been a registered nurse for over 20 years. Marrianne had not been working as a registered nurse for long when she was asked to scrub for an embolectomy — assisting an experienced, and somewhat intimidating, vascular surgeon to remove a blood clot. The procedure did not go according to plan, leaving the surgeon increasingly frustrated and Marianne feeling very ineffective and unhelpful.
If faced with the same situation now, she would have known the potential risks and would have prepped the theatre accordingly, but is concerned about the ongoing pressures put on junior nurses, who continue to be asked to scrub for cases across surgical specialities they’re unfamiliar with.

Which is why she developed mobile app ScrubUp — as a way to support novice nurses.

AI supports instant diagnosis of top eye disease
Artificial intelligence is being used to support the instant diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy, one of the top causes of blindness, in its earliest stages.
The diabetic-related eye disease is the leading cause of vision loss in adults and its impact is growing worldwide, with 191 million people set to be affected by 2030.
Now a team of Australian–Brazilian researchers led by RMIT University have developed an image-processing algorithm that can automatically detect one of the key signs of the disease, fluid on the retina, with an accuracy rate of 98%.
