‘Agonising’ and ‘aggressive’ are two words women with endometriosis frequently use to describe their pain. Further amplifying this pain is the mystery that shrouds it. As a result, women tend to suffer from endometriosis in silence, with their discomfort commonly dismissed as ‘just a bad period’ or misdiagnosed as something else entirely. However, with endometriosis […]

Amateur soccer players who headed the ball in a match vs. those who did not had significantly higher increases in S100B calcium-binding protein immediately after the match, according to results published in JAMA Neurology.
“Soccer heading was associated with acute increases in blood biomarkers for neural damage, including dose-response relationships,” Marloes I. Hoppen, MSc, PhD candidate in clinical neuroscience in sports at Emma Children’s Hospital and Alzheimer Center Amsterdam UMC, and colleagues wrote. “Although the consequences for long-term brain health remain

ACOG released its 2026 maternal immunization schedule, which for the first time differs from recommendations by federal health agencies, according to the organization.
“It’s important that patients and clinicians have access to a trusted, evidence-based maternal immunization schedule, and ACOG is pleased to be able to provide that at a time where there is so much confusion and misinformation,” ACOG Chief of Clinical Practice Christopher Zahn, MD, FACOG, said during a press briefing.
The guidance was developed by ACOG’s Immunization, Infectious Disease and Public Health Preparedness Expert Work

Young women who are a part of Generation Z have significant gaps in fertility knowledge, according to a recent study.
Meredith L. Clements, PhD, an associate professor of communication and speech studies at the University of Tampa, and colleagues recently published a study on young women’s awareness of fertility and their education needs. The study — the first ever to analyze fertility awareness in Generation Z, specifically — included 212 women aged 18 to 27 years, and revealed some major misconceptions about fertility and treatment for infertility.
Notably, Gen Z had varied knowledge of

WASHINGTON — A modular shape-changing IOL helped patients with presbyopia achieve good vision at different distances, according to a study presented at the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery meeting.
William F. Wiley, MD, ABO, of Cleveland Eye Clinic, presented data from the first-in-human study of the OmniVu shape-changing IOL (Atia Vision) in patients with presbyopia.
“It’s a two-piece optic with a fluid-filled base with a secondary optic on top,” he told Healio. “The results have been truly amazing.”

Robotic-assisted surgery is transforming total hip and knee arthroplasty, delivering measurable improvements in implant positioning and emerging long-term outcome data that justify the investment.
The shoulder arthroplasty community now faces strong momentum toward robotic adoption in joint replacement surgery. The questions orthopedic surgeons must answer, with evidence rather than enthusiasm, are whether this technology has earned its place in our ORs or are we being asked to pay a premium for a promise.
The debate on the role of robotics in reverse total shoulder arthroplasty is timely. In

A study that compared the efficacy of moxifloxacin vs. azithromycin in treating Mycoplasma genitalium — an STI with a rising resistance to antibiotics — showed that moxifloxacin was the clear winner.
In the phase 4 randomized trial, a 10-day regimen of moxifloxacin yielded a significantly higher microbiologic cure rate compared with a 6-day regimen of azithromycin (87% vs. 61.2%; absolute risk difference, 25.8%; 95% CI, 16.5%-35.2%), supporting moxifloxacin as an empiric first-line treatment.
The study pointed out, however, that azithromycin “showed comparable efficacy”

A federal judge voided a policy instituted by presidential proclamation last fall that raised the application fee for new H-1B visas to $100,000.
As Healio previously reported, the H-1B visa program allows employers to temporarily hire foreign workers in certain occupations that require specialized knowledge, including certain international medical graduates. Nearly 250,000 international medical graduates worked in the United States in 2023, making up 24.7% of the total U.S. physician workforce. The fee increase was predicted to have large and lasting negative effects on the U.S. physician
