Sunshine is abundant in Redlands; however, this very aspect of the environment can change the duration of the results of Botox. The impacts of heat, extremely strong UV rays, and a person’s spending several hours outdoors can be to the extent that muscle activity is increased, and skin is changed, thus the effects of the […]

Premiums rarely feel friendly when a job ends or a life change hits suddenly. Budgets shrink quickly, yet doctor visits and prescriptions do not wait. People need coverage that starts fast, works today, and does not wreck monthly cash flow. Many Texans look first at short coverage that bridges gaps after a move or job […]

Experts have said for years that measles would make a comeback if vaccination rates continued to fall, and 2025 lent credence to their warnings.
“A challenging year for some of us, certainly for me — but not for measles,” Adam J. Ratner, MD, MPH, director of pediatric infectious diseases at Hassenfeld Children’s Hospital at New York University Langone, told attendees of the Infectious Diseases in Children Symposium in November.
As of Dec. 9, there were 1,912 measles cases reported in 42 states since the beginning of 2025 — the highest number for the U.S. since 1992.
What started as a handful of

A study published in PNAS Nexus suggests that exposure to air pollutants, including nitrogen dioxide and fine particulate matter, is significantly associated with the development of myopia in younger children.
The study used an explainable machine learning model to analyze a cohort of nearly 30,000 children in Tianjin, China. The children’s data came from Tianjin Child and Adolescent Research of Eye, a large-scale cohort study with a long-term myopia screening program.
Using a combination of big data and modeling, the researchers estimated the children’s exposure to air pollutants —

The CDC has officially updated its immunization schedule to reflect its Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices’ recommendation on vaccinating infants against the hepatitis B virus, it announced.
The CDC now recommends individual-based decision-making for parents who are deciding whether to give the birth dose of the HBV vaccine to infants born to mothers who tested negative for HBV. The agency still recommends a birth dose of the HBV vaccine for infants born to mothers who test positive or whose status is unknown within 12 hours of birth.
For infants who do not receive the birth dose, the

A former NIH official who was fired after filing a whistleblower complaint that alleged she was removed from her position for political reasons has sued the Trump administration in federal court, her lawyers announced.
Jeanne M. Marrazzo, MD, MPH, filed the lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Maryland on Tuesday, claiming her firing was illegal and violated her constitutional rights, according to the attorneys at the law firm Katz Banks Kumin.
Marrazzo is seeking reinstatement to her position as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and “other monetary and

Cataract surgery has undergone remarkable refinement over the past decades, yet some of the most elegant maneuvers remain those that are not routinely emphasized in textbooks or lectures.
These microtechniques, sometimes passed from mentor to trainee in the operating room, can profoundly influence fluidics control, visualization and efficiency. Three of my favorite secret techniques are repositioning cortical opacities to enhance red reflex during capsulorrhexis; the strategic lateral displacement of a heminucleus during phaco chop to facilitate extraction of the other half; and flipping the

ORLANDO — In this video, Brian T. Hill, MD, PhD, discusses data from the phase 3 EPCORE FL-1 trial, presented at the ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition.
The research compared a triple drug combination therapy of epcoritamab (Epkinly; Genmab, AbbVie) plus rituximab (Rituxan; Genentech, Biogen) and lenalidomide (Revlimid, Bristol Myers Squibb) with standard therapy (rituximab-lenalidomide alone) in patients with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma. Hill noted the overall response rates were “extraordinarily high” with the epcoritamab regimen.
“There is a lot of

ORLANDO — In this video, Matthew S. Davids, MD, spoke about the BRUIN-314 trial, one of the first head-to-head studies to compare pirtobrutinib, a noncovalent Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor, with ibrutinib, a covalent BTK inhibitor.
Davids highlighted data presented at the ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition that showed the overall response rate with pirtobrutinib (Jaypirca, Eli Lilly & Co.) was noninferior to ibrutinib (Imbruvica; Johnson & Johnson, Pharmacyclics) in patients with treatment-naive chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma or relapsed or

The addition of gastric electrical stimulation to pyloroplasty significantly improved symptoms compared with pyloroplasty alone for patients with refractory gastroparesis, according to results of a randomized trial.
Patients assigned to pyloroplasty alone for 3 months derived significant benefits after gastric electrical stimulation was turned on, as well.
“Combined pyloroplasty and gastric electrical stimulation is safe and effective in refractory gastroparesis,” Irene Sarosiek, MD, professor of medicine at Texas Tech Health El Paso, and colleagues wrote. “Gastric electrical stimulation
