For decades, personalized hormone care has been all about selecting a proper hormone therapy and setting the correct dosage, based on the patient’s individual symptoms. This information was usually presented as individual snapshots, backed by lab work as the main source of information. What we are seeing now is that AI is becoming a growing […]

Try a small experiment. Cancel your meditation app for a month, and join one weekly class instead. Most people notice the difference fast. The app was never the part doing the heavy lifting. The other tired humans beside you were.That order of importance sounds backwards, so here is the case. Wellness gets sold as a […]

President Donald J. Trump signed an executive order Monday recommending that the U.S. reduce the number of vaccines recommended for all children despite scientific evidence that the current vaccine schedule is safe.
The executive order mirrors changes HHS made to the childhood immunization schedule in January, which have been temporarily blocked by a federal judge. Trump signed a similar order in June that called for the revision of the childhood vaccine schedule to match the schedules of other countries.
The new order signed Monday also says the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine should be
Vibrio vulnificus — a flesh-eating bacterium that infects people through an open wound exposed to seawater or through eating contaminated raw seafood — has killed seven people in Louisiana and Florida this year, state health officials said.
The Louisiana Department of Health has identified five deaths among nine cases of V. vulnificus, all of which have been traced to open wounds exposed to seawater. The patients who died had pre-existing health issues, the department said.
Florida health officials have confirmed two deaths among 14 cases in that state, but it is unknown if extenuating health
A global survey of clinicians who care for people with cancer revealed multiple potential barriers that likely hinder adoption of integrative oncology strategies.
The survey — administered to those who deliver supportive care or are familiar with integrative oncology — identified healthcare professionals’ lack of knowledge about or confidence in these modalities, absence of referral pathways, and matters related to insurance or out-of-pocket costs as key challenges.
“The respondents are the ‘experts of experts’ who are already managing these issues for their patients, and what they report
The risk for premature death from CVD occurring from one or more complicated pregnancies may widely vary, new research in European Heart Journal shows.
“Cardiovascular disease in women is underrecognized and undertreated and, as such, pregnancy complications have been proposed as a way to identify at-risk women,” Aditi Singh, a PhD candidate at University of Bergen in Norway, said in a press release. “Our earlier work found that a woman’s risk of premature cardiovascular mortality increases with the number of complicated pregnancies. However, many studies and guidelines still only ask whether
Unilateral biportal endoscopy has become an important minimally invasive option for the treatment of patients with lumbar spinal stenosis.
The goal of the procedure is bilateral neural element decompression through a unilateral approach, using two portals: one for visualization and one for instrumentation. Compared with traditional open laminectomy, unilateral biportal endoscopy allows effective decompression while preserving posterior supporting musculoligamentous structures, including facets and ligaments. This approach can reduce muscle trauma, limit blood loss and shorten recovery while
Dilated eye exams uncovered peripheral retinal abnormalities with “notable frequency” in children across different levels of myopia, according to a study published in Optometry and Vision Science.
“Myopia also predisposes an eye to develop peripheral retinal pathology such as lattice degeneration, which is associated with retinal holes and tears as well as retinal detachments,” Morgan C. Ollinger, OD, FAAO, FOVDR, assistant professor at Southern College of Optometry, and colleagues wrote. “Given these considerations, proper identification and quantification of
Adolescents and young adults with chronic migraines saw significant reductions in daily headaches and in headache disability scores after treatments of onabotulinumtoxin A, according to data published in Pediatric Neurology.
The study is the first prospective study to show the efficacy of onabotulinumtoxin A (Botox, AbbVie) injections in reducing headache days in the pediatric population, specifically those with daily chronic migraines, said Jeffrey Strelzik, MD, a neurologist with Children’s National Hospital.
“This is an option for pediatric patients that works, or seems to lead to
