The Body Doesn’t Forget: A Practical Look at Why Massage Belongs in Your Recovery Routine
My buddy worked for me for 3 years as a hair stylist and then told me that his lumbar spine wasn’t comfortable from year two to now. Just not hurt quite so much as being so sorely constrained that her senses were dulled to no point of recognition till some kind of physiotherapist got their […]

Senators question CDC nominee about vaccines, misinformation
Vaccine policy and misinformation were the main topics of discussion Wednesday during a nomination hearing for two top federal public health positions.
Erica Schwartz, MD, JD, MPH, President Donald J. Trump’s nominee for CDC director, and Sean G. Kaufman, MPH, nominee for assistant secretary for preparedness and response at HHS, testified in front of the Senate’s Health, Education, Labor and Pension committee.
Schwartz served as deputy surgeon general during Trump’s first presidential term. She spent 24 years as an occupational medicine physician in the U.S. Navy and Coast Guard and was the
Worsening diarrhea outbreak raises questions about changes at CDC
Cases of cyclosporiasis — the foodborne illness that can cause prolonged bouts of watery diarrhea — continue to surge nationwide, raising questions about the partial dismantling of a federal surveillance system last year.
There have been 1,645 confirmed cases of cyclosporiasis in 34 states since May 1, including 141 hospitalizations and no deaths, according to the CDC, which said it is investigating an additional 5,100 cases.

Healio AI, ASCRS partner to expand ophthalmology learning
Healio AI and the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, or ASCRS, announced a partnership to optimize available educational resources for ophthalmologists, according to a press release.
The collaboration adds the clinical educational content from the 2026 ASCRCS Annual Meeting — which offered over 300 hours of educational opportunities — to Healio AI’s expanding knowledge base. According to the society’s website, this year’s meeting featured over 650 studies from 53 sessions.

Blood test detects often-missed pancreatic cancer signals
A highly sensitive blood test can detect signs of pancreatic cancer that standard methods often miss, according to results of a prospective cohort study.
Digital droplet polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR) analysis performed upon diagnosis of localized disease detected KRAS-mutant circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) nearly four times more often than more widely used next-generation sequencing, with results strongly predicting survival.
Administration of ddPCR after chemotherapy or surgery also detected traces of ctDNA with the key genetic mutation at considerably higher rates, suggesting it more
House passes bill to make daylight saving time permanent
The House of Representatives passed a bill to make daylight saving time permanent nationwide.
The Sunshine Protection Act, which passed 308-117 on July 14, would make the time most Americans spring forward — from March to November — the new, permanent time, according to the bill. However, “states with areas exempt from daylight saving time may choose the standard time for those areas.”
President Donald J. Trump has previously voiced his support of the bill, which will now go to the Senate. In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote that he is “going to work very hard to see The Sunshine Protection
Eye drop for cataracts to be evaluated in pilot study
ZOC2017217, an eye drop aimed at slowing or reversing the development of cataracts, is undergoing a pilot study ahead of a potential phase 3 trial, according to a press release from Lexitas Pharma Services and Ocusun.
“Today, cataract surgery is the only established treatment for cataracts,” Nevin El-Nimri, OD, senior director of clinical and medical affairs at Lexitas Pharma Services, told Healio. “A successful cataract drop could allow clinicians to intervene earlier in the disease process, potentially improving vision and delaying or reducing the need for surgery.”
FDA approves Revtorpyk combination for breast cancer
The FDA has approved a new targeted therapy combination for the most common subtype of breast cancer.
Gedatolisib (Revtorpyk, Celcuity Inc.) plus fulvestrant, with or without palbociclib (Ibrance, Pfizer), was approved for adults with hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer without a PIK3CA mutation detected following progression during or after endocrine therapy.
It is the only FDA-approved inhibitor of all class I PI3K isoforms and mTOR complexes 1 and 2, according to a manufacturer press release.

BLOG: Between Two Worlds: Treating glaucoma across cultures
One of the most common things I hear from my Chinese-speaking patients when discussing their glaucoma care is simple and direct: “Doc, I don’t feel anything is wrong. Do we really need to do anything?”
This happened again recently, when a patient appeared in my exam room 2 years after his previous visit. This time around, his eye pressure was almost doubled. I asked him whether he was using his glaucoma drops I previously prescribed; the answer was “sometimes, when I feel the discomfort.”
Glaucoma, especially in its early stages, is a disease that hides itself very
