Mortality Rate

A study from the University of Plymouth and University of Bath raises concerns about bio-based fibres. While often marketed as eco-friendly, these fibres may cause greater ecological harm than conventional plastics. Exposure to viscose and lyocell, commonly found in clothing and wet wipes, resulted in high mortality rates in earthworms, crucial for...

In this article, we share latest news, causes, signs and prevention tips for Rwanda Virus.

This article explores how early detection, awareness of symptoms, and vaccinations can significantly reduce the mortality rate and improve the quality of life for meningitis survivors.

The concept of gladiators in ancient Rome often suggests that they routinely fought to the death, but historical insights reveal a more nuanced reality. While some matches did end fatally, particularly in earlier periods, reforms instituted around 27 B.C. reduced the overall mortality rate significantly. Gladiators could surrender, and only about o...

In 2006, a fungal disease called white-nose syndrome began decimating bat populations across New England. Over the following decade, the loss of these bats, essential for controlling insect populations, led to significant consequences for agriculture and human health, according to a new study. With fewer bats around to consume insects, farmers reso...

Sweden has reported its first case of clade 1 mpox, a more severe variant of the virus, previously confined to Africa. This announcement follows the World Health Organization's (WHO) declaration of the mpox outbreak in Africa as a global health emergency. Clade 1, in contrast to clade 2, which caused the global outbreak from 2022 to 2023, is known ...

Experts measured the number of people who had died as a direct or indirect result of Covid and found the excess mortality rate was still higher than pre-pandemic levels.

Only 11 people worldwide have recovered from amoebic meningoencephalitis, Ms George noted, praising the team that led the coordination and treatment efforts.

While the mortality rate was 0.6 per cent for Covid-19, Mr Redfield said the mortality for the bird flu would probably be ''somewhere between 25 and 50 per cent.''

The US maternal mortality rate in 2022 returned to the same level as two years prior, after a spike in 2021 amid the Covid-19 pandemic, health authorities announced Thursday.

The study concluded that "patients have lower mortality and readmission rates when treated by female physicians."

A total of 555 Asiatic lions died in the last five years but there has been no increase in their mortality rate, the government told the Lok Sabha on Monday.

Higher mortality rates were attributed to factors such as drug overdoses, shootings, and car accidents.

The mortality rate among those infected with the Nipah virus is much higher compared to those infected with Covid, Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) chief Dr Rajiv Bahl said on Friday.

An investigation into her death also revealed that she was given ''limited information regarding the risks and mortality rate'' of the surgery.
