  In a country where health care is increasingly driven by profit, Margin over Mission exposes the dire consequences of corporate ownership in hospitals. James Kelly, an ICU nurse with over two decades of experience, narrates a gripping account of his final year at Lovelace Women's Hospital in Albuquerque, New Mexico—a year marred by preventable deaths, administrative changes, and the heartbreaking loss of a once-mission-driven institution to the clutches of Wall Street. 
   
   
   
  Kelly's poignant narrative takes listeners on an emotional journey through the corridors of a hospital that once stood for community and care but became overshadowed by the relentless pursuit of profit. Through detailed anecdotes and critical analysis, Kelly reveals the stark reality of a health care system compromised by private equity, where decisions prioritize profit margins over the mission of saving lives. 
   
   
   
  Kelly's unique perspective as an ICU nurse provides an insider's look into how private equity is wreaking havoc in hospitals around the country. His story is also a powerful tribute to the countless health care workers who struggle to maintain their integrity and compassion in an increasingly inhumane system that prioritizes money over people.

  Virology - Tiny Invaders and...

  Viruses are microscopic entities that exist at the boundary between living and non-living matter. Despite their minuscule size, viruses have a profound impact on all forms of life, from bacteria and plants to humans and animals. They are the most abundant biological entities on Earth, outnumbering bacteria by a factor of ten. Viruses have played a key role in shaping ecosystems, driving evolution, and causing significant diseases in both humans and other organisms. 
  A virus is fundamentally a small particle, or "virion," composed of genetic material (either DNA or RNA) encased in a protein coat known as a capsid. Some viruses also have an outer lipid membrane called an envelope. Unlike bacteria or other microorganisms, viruses lack the machinery necessary for self-replication and metabolism. Instead, they must infect a host cell to reproduce. The virus hijacks the host's cellular machinery to replicate its genome and assemble new viral particles, which are then released to infect other cells. 
  The structure of viruses is incredibly diverse. There are simple, rod-shaped viruses, more complex spherical ones, and even geometrically intricate varieties like the icosahedral viruses. The genetic material within the virus—whether it is single-stranded or double-stranded, RNA or DNA—dictates the virus's replication strategy and determines how it interacts with the host organism. While some viruses infect only specific species or cell types, others are capable of infecting multiple hosts, sometimes crossing species barriers in the process.

  Dr Liz O’Riordan is a breast cancer surgeon who has battled against social, physical and mental challenges to practise at the top of her field. Under the Knife charts Liz’s incredible highs: performing like a couture dressmaker as she moulded and reshaped women’s breasts, while saving their lives; to the heart-breaking lows of telling ten women a day that they had cancer. 
   
  But this memoir is more than just an eye-opening look at the realities of training to be a female surgeon in a man’s world. In addition to this high-powered, high-pressured role, Liz faced her own breast cancer diagnosis, severe depression and suicidal thoughts, in tandem with commonplace sexual harassment and bullying. And by revealing how she coped when her life crashed around her, she demonstrates there is always hope.
