Deliberate UX/UI Design Boosts eCommerce Customer Satisfaction, Sales

E-commerce is the new frontier of trade. Companies such as Amazon have revolutionized trade in only a few decades and are now among the largest and most profitable companies on the globe. The internet granted businesses something they didn’t have for decades — a much wider reach both in terms of customers and potential partnerships. However, even though billions of people globally buy online, flourishing within the e-commerce sector is not an easy task. Businesses in this sector have a failure rate of around 80%–90%, and a lot of these failures can be traced back to poor UX/UI design. User…

Scientists Close to Treating Hearing Loss Using Gene Therapy

Around 24.5 million people in the United States, aged 12 years and older, suffer from mild hearing loss while 10.7 million people 12 years and older live with moderate hearing loss. Up to 1.8 million people older than 11 years in the country suffer from moderate hearing loss while more than 400 million people worldwide have some degree of hearing loss. Although there is currently no cure for age-related hearing loss, people can use listening devices, such as hearing aids, to reduce the severity of the condition. In most cases, most of these people suffer from sensorineural hearing loss, which…

Scientists Create Open-Source Platform to Analyze Brain Tumors in Kids

Every year, around 2,200 children and adolescents in the United States receive brain tumor diagnoses. Brain tumors rarely occur in these age groups, and most children and adolescents diagnosed with brain tumors grow into adulthood. However, even though pediatric brain tumors are relatively rare, they are among the leading causes of death in children in the country. Furthermore, even less deadly brain tumor variants with longer survival rates negatively affect the diagnosed children and their families. As such, researchers are constantly working on better diagnosing, analyzing and treating brain tumors to improve treatment outcomes even further. Recent efforts by a…

New Computational Platform to Broaden Options of Potential Immunotherapy Targets in Cancer Treatment

Immunotherapy is a relatively novel way of treating cancer. It entails boosting one’s immune system so it can locate and destroy cancer cells. This type of treatment is typically recommended for patients suffering from cases of advanced cancer, and it can be used to address conditions such as kidney cancer, lymphoma, bladder cancer and non-small cell lung cancer. Since immunotherapy has only been around since the 1980s, researchers and clinicians are constantly working to make the treatment safer and more effective for cancer patients. A team of researchers from UCLA and the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) have now created…

Why Healthcare Should Adopt Merchandising Practices

Healthcare has gone through several evolutions throughout the course of human history. Our first attempts at treating medical conditions were half-hearted at best and hampered by our ignorance of germ theory and human biology. The acceptance of germ theory paved the way for modern healthcare and allowed humanity to treat previously fatal injuries and conditions, extending our lifetimes and giving people much longer lifespans. The medical field continued to develop in tandem with technology, adapting more and more complex technology into the field to enhance research and develop a wide variety of medications. With the internet and e-commerce now entrenched…

Initial Evidence Suggests Possible Link Between COVID-19, Tinnitus

The coronavirus pandemic threw the entire world into a lurch and showed us just how difficult it can be to deal with a pandemic in our increasingly connected world. A few months after the virus was first discovered in Wuhan, China, dozens of countries shut down their borders to stop the disease from spreading at the cost of economic activity. The coronavirus vaccine appears to have been instrumental in stopping COVID-19 infections, reducing negative health outcomes and opening up the world to international activity once again. However, although we are now through the worst of the pandemic, infections are still…

Researchers ID Promising Strategy Against Immunotherapy Side Effects

Researchers from the UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center may have come up with a strategy that would allow them to eliminate the side effects associated with immunotherapy. Immunotherapy is a cancer treatment that leverages a patient’s own immune system to fight and kill cancer cells. It is a type of biological therapy used to treat a wide variety of cancers including breast cancer, brain cancer, bladder cancer, colorectal cancer and cervical cancer. Unfortunately, immunotherapy can also cause side effects such as fever, dizziness, weakness, joint or muscle aches and fatigue. In some cases, the treatment can cause severe side effects…
