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.
