I see this all the time from grown adults who really think that they should just suck it up and deal with everything themselves. With the career, the kids, the bills and aging parents, their own mental health drops quietly to the very bottom of the list. The thinking is usually: I’ll get to it […]

People normally never pay attention to their kidneys because, why should they? The kidneys do not cause any pain like an injured knee. They do not burn like acid reflux. They just work without any trouble, cleansing the blood and regulating body fluids and blood pressure. However, the problem is that even when they encounter […]

Oral meets primary endpoint for non-infectious uveitis

Lisraya, an oral tyrosine kinase 2/Janus kinase inhibitor, achieved its primary endpoint in two phase 3 clinical trials investigating it for the treatment of noninfectious uveitis, according to a press release.
“It has been nearly a decade since we last had an FDA-approved systemic therapy (adalimumab) for uveitis and ocular inflammatory diseases,” Quan Dong Nguyen, MD, MSc, FAAO, FARVO, FASRS, principal investigator in the phase 3 CLARITY trials, told Healio. “The field is in dire need for an effective, non-invasive therapy (non-injection in the skin or the muscle or inside the eye, just oral

Tegoprazan improves 24-hour, nighttime heartburn in NERD

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Tegoprazan demonstrated significant improvements in 24-hour and nighttime heartburn among patients with nonerosive reflux disease, with numerical differences from placebo as early as day 1, according to a presenter.
Study results presented at ACG Annual Scientific Meeting also showed once-daily tegoprazan — a rapid-onset potassium-competitive acid blocker, or P-CAB, with sustained acid control —improved regurgitation over the 4-week treatment period.
Nearly 70% of patients with GERD present with nonerosive reflux disease (NERD), according to study background. However, symptom

Contaminated, counterfeit eye drops being sold in US, FDA warns

Editor’s note: This is a developing news story. Please check back soon for updates.
Several counterfeit eye drops, some of which were contaminated with bacteria, were recently found in U.S. stores, according to a notice from the FDA.
Inauthentic eye drops were found being sold in Florida and Georgia in stores primarily serving Spanish-speaking customers. They may also be in Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina and other states, the FDA stated.
Testing by DLC Laboratories, manufacturers of two of the genuine products, found that one of the counterfeit products, labeled “Colirio

Study: Babies lose most measles antibodies by age 6 months

WASHINGTON — Neutralizing antibodies against measles fell below detectable levels by age 6 months for most infants included in a study presented at IDWeek.
The finding suggests that infants may need to be vaccinated earlier to be protected against measles, researchers said.
In the United States, MMR vaccination is routinely recommended at age 12 to 15 months and again at age 4 to 6 years. Infants as young as 6 months can be vaccinated if they are traveling to a place with endemic transmission or live in an area with an ongoing outbreak, but they still need to complete the two-dose series later

New data inform use of vaginal estrogen to prevent perioperative urinary tract infections

Women with a history of recurrent urinary tract infections were more likely to report perioperative vaginal estrogen use and have a perioperative UTI, new data show.
Jocelyn Wittstein, MD, an associate professor of orthopedic surgery at Duke University School of Medicine, told Healio that the association does not mean vaginal estrogen raises the risk for perioperative UTIs.
Instead, the findings raise questions about prescribing methods and adherence in an at-risk group.
“How do we ensure compliance? Which route and formulation are we using to assist with compliance and utilization?” Wittstein

Fertility preservation support ‘low’ for young women with cancer

More than 95% of young women with cancer do not receive fertility preservation support, though rates increased substantially over the past decade, according to data presented at ASCO Quality Care Symposium.
An investigation of more than 275,000 women aged 40 years and younger showed fertility preservation visits increased more than six-fold between 2015 and 2025.
“It’s low utilization,” Erika L. Moen, PhD, MS, associate professor in the department of biomedical data science at Dartmouth College, told Healio. “It’s important that women are aware of the availability of these services.”
