Earlier, people who wanted to alter or change the shape of their nose had only one option: surgery. It involved general anesthesia, a week in the hospital (maybe), and typically, a few weeks of recovery later. It also meant the uncertainty that goes with going under the knife. That is no longer the sole route, […]

Ambulatory surgery centers run on timing, accuracy, and repeatable processes. When schedules shift, benefits change, or documentation arrives late, the ripple reaches pre-op, the OR, PACU, and the business office. Practice management software can influence how often those disruptions turn into delays, rework, or missed revenue. Most ASC leaders evaluate ASC practice management software as […]

Faricimab extends treatment intervals in treatment-naive wet AMD

Patients with treatment-naive neovascular age-related macular degeneration have positive outcomes with faricimab at 1 year, with more than 39% of eyes achieving treatment intervals of 12 weeks or longer, according to a study.
“Faricimab, a bispecific antibody targeting vascular endothelial growth factor-A and angiopoietin-2, offers a novel approach to nAMD management,” Anne Tillmann, of Augenarzt Praxisgemeinschaft Gutblick AG, Switzerland, and colleagues wrote in Ophthalmology and Therapy. “To date, a few small European studies have focused exclusively or at least included

FDA approves revised menopause treatment warning

The FDA approved changes to the labels for six menopausal hormone therapy products in a move the agency said clarifies risk considerations for the drugs.
As Healio previously reported, the FDA initiated the warning removals in November 2025 after experts called for label changes during an FDA panel discussion in July 2025.
Since then, 29 drug companies have submitted proposed labeling changes, and the six products announced with approved labeling changes are just the first batch, according to a press release from the FDA. They include products from all four categories of hormone replacement

Digital music-based therapy ameliorates impact of anxiety

For individuals with moderate anxiety, listening to music with an added component of auditory beat stimulation was more effective in reducing anxiety and boosting affect than listening to pink noise alone, data show.
“While there are existing evidence-based treatments for anxiety that have been shown to be effective such as talk therapy and medication, it can take several weeks for these treatments to cause noticeable reductions in anxiety,” Danielle K. Mullen, MSc, doctoral student, psychological science at Toronto Metropolitan University, told Healio.
“There are many individuals around the

Set priorities, own decisions when forging career in medicine

When building a career as a young ophthalmologist, there are no rules or set paths.
In the inaugural episode of Steeped Insights, a video blog series produced by Women in Ophthalmology and Healio, host Karen Chen, MD, of The Permanente Medical Group, and cohost Andrea L. Kossler, MD, FACS, of Stanford University and Byers Eye Institute, sat down with Andrea Tooley, MD, of Mayo Clinic. Over a cup of tea, they discussed Tooley’s early use of social media and blogging to inspire young people to pursue careers in medicine by “pulling back the curtain” on life as a medical student.

FDA approves first-of-its-kind device for pancreatic cancer

The FDA has approved a first-of-its-kind portable, noninvasive device that delivers alternating electrical fields for the treatment of locally advanced pancreatic cancer.
Optune Pax (Novocure) releases tumor-treating fields — known to disrupt cancer cell division while largely sparing healthy cells — to the abdomen via electrically insulated adhesive patches placed on the patient’s skin and connected to an electric field generator. Approval of the device, concomitant with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel (Abraxane, Bristol Myers Squibb), marks the first FDA-approved treatment in nearly 30 years

Study links obesity to higher risk for severe infection

Adults with obesity are 70% more likely to get severe infections that lead to hospitalization or death, with the most severe cases of the condition facing three times the risk, according to study results.
The prospective multicohort study of more than 540,000 participants found that obesity may be the driving factor in up to 11% of deaths from infectious diseases. The study linked obesity to health risks including pneumonia, influenza, COVID-19, gastroenteritis and UTIs, along with fungal and parasitic infections.
“I was surprised by the wide range of severe infections that obesity is

MIS tibiotalocalcaneal fusion may minimize complications

Tibiotalocalcaneal fusion is a powerful reconstructive procedure used to address a wide range of foot and ankle pathologies.
Tibiotalocalcaneal (TTC) constructs typically consist of screws alone, lateral-based plates and screws, and retrograde intramedullary hindfoot nails. Intramedullary nails provide load-sharing biomechanics, enabling early mobilization with reduced soft-tissue dissection. Nitinol-based hindfoot fusion nails offer the additional advantage of continuous, sustained compression across the ankle and subtalar joints, which can improve fusion rates and reduce hardware failure.
