Water is the most important consideration in any adventure. Unless you want to be lugging around liters and liters of H2O, or you have the water retention capacities of a camel, you'll need a plan for obtaining clean, bacteria-free water on your adventure. Some hikes are blessed with springs and streams so crystal clear that you can drink filter-quality water straight from the source; others have little more than murky puddles. Camping in the Argentinian desert, I drank water the color of weak tea, silt-filled and disgusting. It was safe to drink, but tasted like sludge. I'd purified the water, but I hadn't filtered it, and it's not an experience that I'm keen to repeat. So how do you know whether your water needs purifying or filtering, and which purifier or filter should you go for? Let me impart my wisdom. Water filters vs. water purifiers. First, let's look at why we filter and/or purify water. There are five main reasons: to get rid of viruses, bacteria, pa

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are popular and highly effective pain relievers, but despite their widespread use, they do pose risks. NSAIDs are known for multiple adverse effects, including gastrointestinal bleeding, cardiovascular side effects, and NSAID-induced nephrotoxicity (rapid deterioration of the kidneys). Most notably, these common pain relievers can raise your risk of heart failure, particularly if you have had a heart attack in the past. This article will highlight the role of NSAIDs in heart failure and shed light on the specific NSAIDs that may put you at higher risk of a heart-related medical complication.

Ryan Jeanneret, senior director, market intelligence for long term care, Omnicare The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, paired with widespread staff shortages, have contributed to staffing challenges in the senior care industry. In a recent poll conducted by Morning Consult, 19% of long-term care workers reported that they had quit their jobs since February 2020, while 69% reported that the national shortage of health care workers had affected them and their place of work. In response to the staffing shortages, senior care facilities may turn to many outlets, including staffing agencies. But technology is also playing an important role in helping communities to better cope with this ongoing challenge. Technology's Response to the Staffing Shortage Given the disruption and implications that staffing challenges have for the senior care industry, technology companies are working to offer solutions.

This is Highly Recommend, a column dedicated to our very opinionated editors' favorite things to eat, drink, and buy. Men, women, and people who don't identify as either have one thing in common: We all get hangovers, and Midol, I have found, will cure them. I am not a doctor, so I discovered this the hard way—by having PMS. But what I've learned from that hideous, God-given ailment has weirdly paid off when it comes to the distress of a standard-issue hangover. As we careen full-tilt into New Year's Eve, it might be a good time to stock up on this remedy. (Though perhaps consult your doctor before you do.) Let's cover some basics. A person with PMS may feel achy, bloated, and tired. A person with a hangover may also feel achy, bloated, and tired. The cause of the symptoms is different, of course: One is caused by some cyclical hormonal bullshit, and the other is caused by drinking too much. The suffering, however, is the same. From what my (not at all professional)

Recruiters look for certain things in CVs — but future colleagues have different priorities. Credit: David Paul Morris/Bloomberg/Getty I started my career at large pharmaceutical companies (Sanofi and GSK), as a statistical modeller, before moving into consultancy. I eventually founded my own company that focuses on health economics and medical statistics — Delta Hat. Along the way I've seen literally thousands of CVs, most from recent graduates. Many of those CVs would have been perfect for applying to larger companies, but just as your chances of success increase when you tailor your CV to a role, they will also grow when you tailor it to a company. This is because any application to a large entity is likely to go first to a human-resources department (HR), where it'll get processed in a certain way, often being compared to the job description or checked for certain key words. Dates and details will be cross-checked in full for every role held, an

Malte Mueller / Getty Images En español Side effects are common with almost any medication. What's less common are side effects that can complicate your recovery from the very condition you're looking to treat. Case in point: medications that can cause weight gain. "Often, we think of side effects that cause more [physical] symptoms — dizziness, stomach problems, fatigue," says John Batsis, M.D., an associate professor in geriatric medicine and nutrition at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. "Weight gain, though, can creep up on you." And for patients who have other medical issues — osteoar
