The published literature has shown a wide range in rates of Achilles tendon pathology, from approximately 6% in the general population to up to 85% among athletes.
Among these rates, it has been reported that approximately one-third of cases are related to insertional Achilles tendinopathy. Although patients with insertional Achilles tendinopathy are generally treated nonoperatively, there are times where operative treatment is necessary.
While open techniques have historically been used to treat insertional Achilles tendinopathy, minimally invasive surgery techniques have been developed to

An Ebola virus outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda has surpassed 500 suspected cases, WHO’s top official said Tuesday.
Of those suspected cases, 130 people have died, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, PhD, MSc, noted in an update.
“These numbers will change as field operations are scaling up, including strengthening surveillance, contact tracing and laboratory testing,” he said.
Among the few dozen confirmed cases is an American who tested positive after developing symptoms over the weekend and was transported to Germany, the CDC announced. Six other

Epioxa, an epithelium-on corneal collagen cross-linking therapy, made a significant and clinically meaningful difference in keratoconus progression over 12 months, according to a study published in Ophthalmology and Therapy.
The procedure, available in the U.S. since March, was approved by the FDA in 2025. Previously, cross-linking for keratoconus required debridement of the corneal epithelium, which has potential side effects.
In a phase 3 randomized controlled trial, Kenneth A. Beckman, MD, FACS, of Comprehensive EyeCare of Central Ohio, and colleagues evaluated the use of Epioxa (riboflavin

In response to the Ebola virus outbreak suspected of killing more than 100 people, the CDC has imposed travel restrictions blocking non-U.S. citizens who have recently visited three African nations from entering the country.
The restrictions prevent people who have been in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda and South Sudan in the previous 21 days from entering the U.S. They were enacted under a public health law known as Title 42 and will be in effect for at least 30 days.
NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya, MD, PhD, who is temporarily running the CDC, signed the order, writing in it that

Data collected from a number of clinical trials found that despite recent “buzz,” there is no significant link between GLP-1 receptor agonists and the progression of diabetic retinopathy, according to a speaker.
“These medications have been labeled not to be good for patients who have preexisting diabetic retinopathy, but I don’t think that is fair,” Majda Hadziahmetovic, MD, associate professor of ophthalmology at Duke University, said during a virtual presentation at Real World Ophthalmology. “Those conclusions actually came from two main clinical trials, and both of those clinical trials

Guideline-concordant thromboprophylaxis significantly reduces both venous thromboembolism and death in patients at high risk for blood clots.
Data from a multidisciplinary VTE prevention program instituted at University of Vermont showed high-risk patients beginning systemic cancer therapy who received thromboprophylaxis had a 64% lower likelihood of VTE and 54% lower likelihood of death.
“By adhering to the guidance, we’re improving patient outcomes,” Karlyn A. Martin, MD, MS, a hematologist at Larner College of Medicine at University of Vermont, told Healio. “People should see if they can

ORLANDO — Patients with severe asthma who are typically underrepresented in clinical studies experienced improved outcomes with tezepelumab in the real world, according to a poster presented at the American Thoracic Society Annual Meeting.
Quality of life improved for these patients as well, Njira Lugogo, MD, clinical professor of medicine, division of pulmonary and critical care medicine, University of Michigan, and colleagues wrote.
“Clinical trials in severe uncontrolled asthma often underrepresent or exclude many of the patients that clinicians see in everyday practice, including
