Reliable articles

What motivates me?

One thing that I like to do is read. One thing I like to read about is new discoveries. Sometimes, my only way to satisfy my curiosity is by reading articles such as scientific articles. It is really impressive to see all the great things that are discovered all the time! Here are some articles specified in my field of study. 

1. Talbot A, Laura. (2021, Sept. 1). Neonatal Aeromedical Evacuation During COVID-19: An Interview With Captain Danielle James. Oxford Academy. https://academic.oup.com/milmed/article/186/Supplement_2/74/6360752?searchresult=1#301344684

It is an interview with a NICU transport nurse in the U.S army who had to transfer at-risk patients (infant patients) during COVID-19 from Japan (U.S Naval Hospital Okinawa) to somewhere safer. It describes all the dangers and the procedure they had to follow during this hard time to keep the neonates safe. She talks about her personal experience, but also how they had to do it, how they had to take care of the mother as well, the evacuation's conditions, etc. It was a challenge for everyone.

2. Oberreiter, Martin. Plodr, Michal. Pavlik, Vojtech. (2021, June 8). The efficacy of hyaluronic acid in combination with an antiseptic - experience from acute military-based wound care. Military-Medecine.com. https://military-medicine.com/article/4158-the-efficacy-of-hyaluronic-acid-in-combination-with-an-antiseptic-experience-from-acute-military-based-wound-care.html

The article is about a method to heal wounds faster where they use a component of human skin (Hyaluronic acid) combined with an antiseptic to reduce the risk of infection. The method was inspired by Romans who understood the benefits of a moist environment to heal wounds faster. This study is to present the use of a formulation of Hyaluronic acid and iodine applied on severe war wounds before the primary (delayed) suture.

5. Timeline of Discovery. Harvard Medical School. https://hms.harvard.edu/about-hms/history-hms/timeline-discovery

This article deals with every discovery that has been made. It is a chart of the evolution of medicine. Under each important year, there is a little summary of what happened. It can be diverse from the discovery of a new way to treat diseases to the development of new medical technology such as anesthesia. The timeline is from 1799 to 2019, the first event being the smallpox vaccine to the last event which is a possible way to control HIV.
