Midwives shortage
Stats still show that there is a shortage of midwives in the UK and in most European countries.
This topic has been a hot point for some times in the United Kingdom but the shortage is still there and nothing seems to have been done to counter that. Some organisms believe that this shortage is in a way dangerous as it puts at risk women giving birth.
The reasons for this shortage are different for each European country but in the UK, the main reasons seem to be clear.
It first seems that the resources allocated by the NHS over the past ten years haven’t been as good as they have been to other medical jobs. On top of that, it seems that midwives would prefer not to work for the NHS because of the rates given. It seems that agencies pay much better!
The other problem is that the birth rate has increased more or less depending on the area while the number of midwives hasn’t.
To add to these issues, it seems that students don’t want to follow that path and prefer to choose other medical sectors. It seems that the number of medical graduates going for obstetrics has dropped by around 50 percents in around ten years which is simply terrible.

Stem cells Research and Use
There is little or no doubts that the use of stem cells in medecine and treatments in the future will help save lives and cure terrible diseases.
The scientists doing research around stem cells have been working a lot on their potential future use and the more they study stem cells, the more they believe that their potential is very wide.
Stem cells bank have started to appear more and more over the past years with people getting more and more aware of what is going on. The idea that you could store the cord blood of your new born baby to maybe one day save his or her life is just something amazing, especially when you think that the cord blood is probably thrown away after the birth.
The latest research have shown that your cells are the best if you have got diabetes or cancer for example as it would prevent not only the supply problem, but also the compatibility problem. Obviously, because our cells evolve as we grow, the purest cells have to be taken at your birth and from the cord blood because it is one of the best place to take it.

Asbestos in buildings
People are worried about asbestos, but what they do not realize is that undisturbed asbestos usually poses little or no problems and will not harm you.
Everything should be done to avoid the release of asbestos fibers in the air as they can cause terrible damage to your health and particularly to your lungs.
A lot of people who have been in contact with asbestos fibers have contracted terrible cancers.
That is why asbestos surveys and then asbestos removal should be done as soon as you or somebody else discovers that there is asbestos somewhere in the building where you work or where you live.
It is usually particularly hard to see if asbestos is present in a building or a home. For that reason, it is vital to call an asbestos surveyor if you have doubts and are not sure.
It is better to call professionals who will carry out the survey rather than guess that everything is fine.
If you think you are living or working in a building with asbestos, there is no need to panic. As long as asbestos is not damaged or disturbed, it is safe and your life is not at risk. That is one of the main reason why you should never do any type of work on asbestos materials because as soon as you disturb the material, you may breath asbestos fibers which will certainly damage your lungs.
