Introduction  Specialty access is slow. It’s also inefficient. Traditional scheduling causes missed appointments. It leads to lost referrals. And it overloads staff.  A 2025 study in Frontiers in Digital Health found this. No-show rates were 1.8% for online bookings. They hit 5.9% for phone-based scheduling. That is over 3x higher with old workflows.  These gaps […]

DENVER — Retina imaging may reveal links to Parkinson’s disease, according to a poster presentation at the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology meeting.
“Some people ... would say that the eye is the window into the soul,” Michael Zhu, a medical student at Duke University School of Medicine, told Healio. “We think the eyes are also the window into the brain.”
Zhu and colleagues conducted a cross-sectional, case-control study that looked at how changes in the retina might be associated with Parkinson’s disease. Zhu said previous research has found links between Parkinson’s and

CHICAGO — Ursodeoxycholic acid did not appear to improve maternal or fetal outcomes among patients with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy, according to a retrospective cohort study presented at Digestive Disease Week.
The therapy also was associated with an increase in preterm and emergency cesarean deliveries.
Among patients with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy, bile acid concentration is a key risk determinant for maternal and fetal morbidity.
“Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy is a very challenging condition, and its management is driven by fetal risks,” Medora D. Rodrigues, MD,

Hantavirus, a rodent-borne illness that can cause the lungs to fill with fluid, is suspected of killing three passengers and sickening at least three others in an outbreak aboard a cruise ship, according to WHO.
The outbreak occurred aboard the MV Hondius, which sailed from Argentina and is currently anchored off the coast of Cape Verde, an island nation 350 miles off the west coast of Africa.
Cape Verde has refused docking permission for the ship, Netherlands-based operator Oceanwide Expeditions said in a statement. Of the 149 people who remain onboard, 17 are Americans, the operator said.

Optometric care has advanced significantly with OCT and high-resolution retinal imaging, yet clinicians still encounter a familiar challenge: patients who report visual symptoms despite “normal” structural findings.
This disconnect highlights a limitation in a structure-dominant model of care: Structural imaging often identifies disease only after physiological decline has already begun.
If functional decline precedes structural loss, waiting for visible change delays intervention. Earlier identification of dysfunction creates an opportunity to intervene when retinal tissue remains

SAN FRANCISCO — At the ACP Internal Medicine Meeting, Douglas S. Paauw, MD, MACP, offered a presentation on challenges in prescribing.
Healio spoke with Paauw, the Rathmann Family Foundation Endowed Chair for Patient-Centered Clinical Education and a professor at the University of Washington School of Medicine, about what primary care physicians should know for 2026, including drug shortages, safety concerns and more.
Healio: Why did you decide to present on this topic?
Paauw: For at least the last 20 or 25 years, I’ve done a topic on drug interactions and side effects to try to

CHICAGO — Patients with irritable bowel syndrome who consumed an elemental diet for 2 weeks reported significant improvement in abdominal pain, discomfort, distention and bloating, according to a presenter at Digestive Disease Week.
Notably, individuals studied met the FDA-aligned threshold of at least 30% improvement, which persisted in the 2 weeks they returned to their previous diets.
“Everybody wants to find a way to reset the gut microbiome, and this is the closest we’ve gotten so far,” Ali Rezaie, MD, MSc, medical director of the GI motility program and associate professor at
