Ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilised egg implants itself outside of womb, usually in one of the fallopian tubes. The 27-year-old healthcare worker was rushed to UK's Walsall Manor Hospital in March last year after her potentially life-threatening pregnancy. During the operation, the surgeon removed her left fallopian tube instead of the right one, leaving her infertile forever. She shared the incident in a BBC News interview. The hospital apologised and admitted an error was 'regrettably made'.

Bird enthusiasts and researchers are making the best use of the lockdown&nbsp;period which has lowered noise pollution in our surroundings significantly. The first global public sound map of the morning bird song has been created where people have shared over 3,000 recordings of bird chorus at down on the Dawn Chorus website. The project is&nbsp;led by Prof Michael Gorman&nbsp;who told Guardian, 'suddenly, the natural world can be heard more clearly.' According to early findings, Gorman&nbsp;says that&nbsp;records indicate that spring now occurs two weeks earlier than 15 years ago. The spring chorus project will help in the creation of art and help scientists study long-term changes in bird habitats.&nbsp;

As protests keep growing in US in the wake of a black man's death at the hands of a policeman, two rival brands emerge united in support. Sports and footwear giant Nike posted a video inverting its tagline&nbsp;'Just Do It' to 'Don't Do It,' in which the brand urged people to 'be a part of the change.' Adopting a united front against racism, its competitor adidas retweeted&nbsp;Nike's video, writing 'together is how we move forward.' Fans of both the brands wholeheartedly supported the effort as they mourn the loss of George Floyd and many more like him.&nbsp;

According to the World Health Organisation, since Covid-19&nbsp;primarily&nbsp;affects the lungs, smokers are at a higher risk of developing severe disease and death. Chewing tobacco, on the other hand, leads to increased production of saliva and thus the urge to spit.&nbsp;Spitting in public places could enhance the spread of the virus. Tobacco is also a major risk factor for heart disease, cancer and diabetes that put people with these conditions at higher risk for developing severe illness when affected by Covid-19.&nbsp;However, there are no peer-reviewed studies that evaluate the direct risk of Covid-19 with tobacco use. The WHO cautions that&nbsp;the act of smoking involves contact of fingers with the lips, which increases the possibility of transmission of viruses from hand to mouth.&nbsp;Smoking waterpipes&nbsp;or e-cigarettes&nbsp;often involve the sharing of devices, mouth pieces and hoses, which could also facilitate the transmission. WHO recommends&nbsp;that if you smoke, now is a good time to quit completely.&nbsp;Within 2 to 12 weeks of quitting, circulation will improve and the lung function increases, says the&nbsp;health body.&nbsp;&nbsp;

An experimental diagnostic test&nbsp;that can visually detect the presence of the novel coronavirus in 10 minutes has been developed by scientists from&nbsp;the University of Maryland School of Medicine. A study published in the journal&nbsp;ACS Nano&nbsp;states that the test uses a simple assay containing gold nanoparticles to detect a colour change in the presence of the Covid-19 virus. Indian-origin lead author of the study Dipanjan&nbsp;Pan told PTI&nbsp;that based on preliminary results, the new test that only needs a nasal swab or saliva sample may detect RNA material from the virus as early as the first day of infection. However, scientists added that more clinical studies are needed to ascertain the effectiveness of the test.&nbsp;

To mark this year's World No Tobacco Day, the World Health Organisation wants the highlight the importance of protecting teenagers from falling prey to the addiction. According to WHO estimates, nearly 90 per cent of smokers start smoking before they even turn 18 and more than 40 million young people aged 13-15, have already started to use tobacco. In fact,&nbsp;smoking e-cigarettes and hookah pipes, which are often marketed as 'safer' alternatives to conventional cigarettes are harmful, addictive, and increases the risk of developing heart and lung disease, the health body pointed out. With more than 15,000 flavours like bubble gum and candy, youngsters chances of smoking are now doubled.&nbsp;

Indian globally renowned sand artist Sudarsan&nbsp;Pattnaik&nbsp;has created a 50-feet sand sculpture to mark World No Tobacco Day. The artist from Odisha&nbsp;created the sand art at Puri&nbsp;Beach and wrote the piece aims to 'create awareness about the harmful effects caused due to tobacco' on Twitter. The artist has been creating artworks to mark this day for many years.&nbsp;

Jack Rico is not your ordinary 13-year old. The brilliant teenager just graduated from the Fullerton College in California with four associate's degrees and he did it in just two years!

May 31 marks World No Tobacco Day. In addition to raising awareness, the initiative&nbsp;recognizes the efforts of countries, individuals and organisations from around the world in tobacco control.&nbsp;Finland's Ministry of Social Affairs and Health has received this year's 'World No Tobacco Day Award' issued by the World Health Organization. In 2016, Finland updated its Tobacco Act&nbsp;with a new objective to end the use of tobacco and other nicotine products by 2030. To reduce the appeal of e-cigarettes, especially among young people, Finland strictly regulates them and has introduced a ban on the use of flavours in e-cigarettes &ndash; one of the few countries globally which has introduced such policy measures.

The issue of tobacco smoking and risk for acute respiratory infection has become a talking point amid the Covid-19 pandemic. According to a paper published in The Lancet journal, robust evidence suggests that several mechanisms may increase the risk of respiratory tract infections in smokers.&nbsp;Smoking impairs the immune system and the ability to contain infection. The risk of contracting pneumonia&nbsp;is about 3&ndash;5 times higher in smokers and they&nbsp;are also 5-times more likely to contract&nbsp;influenza, states the paper. There's not enough evidence to support that tobacco smoking increases the risk of being infected by Covid-19. However, available studies indicate that&nbsp;current smokers have increased gene expression of ACE2 - the main receptor used by the Covid-19 virus to gain entry to host cells and cause active infection.&nbsp;The challenge for Covid-19 studies is to have large enough sample sizes with all variables that might be associated with tobacco smoking and health.&nbsp;

The signature red and white 'gamcha', that Prime Minister Narendra&nbsp;Modi donned as a mask while addressing the nation to announce the second phase of the&nbsp;lockdown&nbsp;in April, has inspired weavers in&nbsp;UP&rsquo;s Barabanki&nbsp;district. With the demand for the traditional cloth going up, a manufacturing unit has started making the gamcha&nbsp;in large numbers. The production caters to both the need for masks and employment opportunities in the region. Made with viscose cloth, 500 gamchas&nbsp;have already been delivered. E-commerce companies in Kanpur are also buying these gamchas&nbsp;and selling them online.&nbsp;

The orchestra invited performers of all levels from around the world to participate in the socially-distanced concert. The performance followed the orchestra's previous virtual collaborations which have been a success.&nbsp;

Scientists from the&nbsp;University of Cambridge have found that the ice sheets of Antarctica retreated&nbsp;at the speed of up to 50 meters a day at the end of the last Ice Age. This means that they retreated&nbsp;ten times quicker than the fastest retreating sheets today! The researchers warn that if the current trend of climate change continues to weaken ice shelves, similar patterns of ice retreat could occur, with massive consequences for global sea levels. Researchers from the Weddell Sea Expedition studied the ridges on the seafloor and noticed stunning delicate patterns, giving an insight into past ice retreats.&nbsp;

UK Scientist Dr Alan Jamieson&nbsp;has captured the world's deepest octopus on camera. Discovered&nbsp;7,000 metres down in the Java Trench, on the floor of the Indian ocean, it is believed to be a "Dumbo" octopus species. Dr Jamieson's equipment called 'lander' filmed two octopuses - one on a drop to 5,760 metres and a second around 6,957 metres. The&nbsp;previous deepest reliable sighting was at 5,145 metres down. The discovery shows that octopuses can find suitable habitat across at least 99% of the global seafloor.&nbsp;

The next time&nbsp;you find a robot serving you at a restaurant, don't be surprised! Netherlands'&nbsp;Royal Palace is trialling two robotic waiters, ahead of its opening next week.

In an unfortunate incident,&nbsp;a 40-foot long fin whale, believed to be a juvenile, washed up dead on a beach in southeast England on Friday. Authorities have urged locals to keep away from the beach to avoid the risk of infection.&nbsp;The British Divers Marine Life Rescue charity said that the whale appeared small for the species. The endangered fin whale is the second-largest mammal in the world after the blue whale.

According to a new study published in the journal Science, the climate crisis and the mass felling of trees has made forests across the world, 'shorter and younger' and the trend is expected to continue. This comes with worrying consequences for the ability of forests to mitigate risks of climate change and store carbon. It could also impact wildlife that are dependent on these forests for their survival. According to researchers led by the U.S. Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, the death rate of trees has increased due high temperature, drought, pests and a number of diseases.&nbsp;

The Indian Institute of Technology in Roorkee will be conducting research on identifying antivirals&nbsp;to treat the Covid-19 virus.&nbsp;The study is funded under the intensification of Research in High&nbsp;Priority areas under the Department of Science and Technology.&nbsp;Researchers will work on identifying small molecule inhibitors to target key enzymes that replicate the virus in the body.&nbsp;This will help expedite the process of identification of drugs that can be used to treat Covid-19.&nbsp;An IIT Roorkee professor Dr.&nbsp;Kamal Jain also&nbsp;recently created a new surveillance system for tracking suspected Covid-19 patients.&nbsp;
