Animal rites

Article Abstract:

Drug companies have produced a video to counter the campaign against animal experimentation. The British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection maintains test tube testing, preventive strategies and complimentary treatment render such tests unnecessary. Animal tests also cannot predict human-related side effects. The video points out that many life saving drugs could not have been safely developed without animal testing. It is directed at young people aged between 12 and 16 who may be dissuaded from biomedical research.

Cleansing rites and wrongs

Article Abstract:

A survey of wound care cleansing practices throughout UK hospitals highlights the lack of education on the subject and the intense pressures placed on nurses through tradition and ritual. Frequent wound cleansing can lead to the spread of bacteria and cause inflammation, unless carried out effectively and with the appropriate cleaning solution. More evidence-based research needs to be carried out into the practice of wound cleansing, providing a nationally acceptable framework which all nursing staff could perform.

Love's labour's cost

Article Abstract:

Demand for child care is rising in the United Kingdom, and the cost is higher in real terms in 1993 than it was in 1980, according to a survey by the Department of Social Security. Single parents spend an avaerage 24.60 pounds weekly on child care, while 23% of working mothers pay for child care services, according to the report. Though relatives and friends still account for most child care, this is changing with a move toward care by professionals.
