Staff at a specialist eating disorder unit have been photographed sleeping when they should have been looking after patients who were at risk of harming themselves. There were multiple "unsafe" incidents because of staff failings, according to whistleblowers. Many seriously ill patients have told the BBC they felt their time on the unit had made their condition worse. Schoen Clinic York said "where specific concerns have been raised, they have been fully investigated and addressed" but no "systemic issues" were found.

I was hoping for a transformation of body and soul, and The Ned delivered. The spa is two levels below The Ned's grand lobby, comfortably hidden from the hustle and bustle of the restaurants and bars. It feels secluded, luxe, yet still inviting. The room was dimly lit and decorated in the same vein as the rest of the hotel, with a certain old London charm about it.

I don't want to be this way. I've tried to stop slouching by setting reminders to stretch and wearing a posture-correcting necklace, only to repeatedly break both habits. I've even enjoyed the occasional yoga classes - until I topple over trying to hold a pose. Then I stop going. I'm not alone. Once a concern of older generations, mobility and flexibility are now the longevity trends du jour among millennials and Gen Zers.

The race for supremacy among major artificial intelligence (AI) providers, including OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google, is approaching peak intensity. Alongside this growth, concerns about customer trust and distrust have become paramount. These concerns are appropriate-our own work suggests that in the face of the ambiguity and uncertainty typically accompanying a new technology such as healthcare AI, customers and users rely heavily on their trust in the provider to dampen risk and obtain peace of mind.

On Wednesday, September 17, supermodel Bella Hadid posted an Instagram carousel which included photos of her receiving medical treatment. "I'm sorry I always go MIA I love you guys," she captioned the post indicating that whatever was going on with Hadid medically had forced her to miss New York Fashion Week. The next day, her mother and ex- RHOBH housewife Yolanda Hadid posted her own carousel, which showed an ill Bella in a hospital environment undergoing a procedure.

When a loved one is living with Alzheimer's or another form of dementia, families are often faced with the challenge of finding care that goes beyond safety and medical support. They seek a place where their loved one will be seen as a whole person, embraced with dignity, compassion, and joy. At The Watermark at Brooklyn Heights, families across Brooklyn, Manhattan, and greater NYC have found just that: a nationally recognized approach to Memory Care rooted in empathy, connection, and individuality.

We know this is unacceptable and we are very sorry to patients who have been cared for in this way.

When Juli comes home after work, her husband doesn't regale her with stories about his photography business the way he once did. Instead he proudly shows her a pill container emptied of the 20 supplements and medications he takes every day. Rather than griping about traffic, he tells her about his walk. When they go out to a favorite Mexican restaurant, he might opt for a side salad instead of tortilla chips with his quesadilla. "He's actually consuming green food, which is new," says Juli, who asked to be identified by only her first name to protect her husband's privacy.

"When I did a body composition test at 36, I had way more body fat than I expected," Cheema says. "That pushed me to change my workouts and eating patterns in ways that improved my health-something BMI alone wouldn't have prompted."

It is possible to be "fat but fit," new research being presented at the annual meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) in Vienna, Austria (September 15-19) suggests. The study of tens of thousands of people in Denmark found that those with a BMI in the overweight category - and even some of those living with obesity - were no more likely to die during the five years of follow-up than those with a BMI of 22.5-<25.0 kg/m 2, which is at the top end of the normal weight range.

According to the National Poll on Healthy Aging, which surveyed adults from ages 50 to 80, 88% responded that it was important to remain in their homes as long as possible. For older Americans to age in place well, technology can be useful, especially medical alert systems. "These devices allow those who have fallen or have an emergency to contact someone for assistance," says Jen Teague, Director for Health Coverage and Benefits at the National Council on Aging. "Ultimately, they help an individual maintain independence."

Still, she spent almost two years working to get the bill canceled, and in the end, only found rescue in an AI bot. In a statement, Anthem said it could not comment on Gonzalves' billing for privacy reasons. The free conversational bot Gonzalves, 39, used for help in defending the insurance coverage for her son's care in the hospital nursery identified a federal law and other information that supported her claim.

The Danish pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk, the maker of GLP-1 for diabetes and obesity, announced it is reducing its workforce globally by 9,000 people by the end of 2026. A company spokesperson declined to provide specific figures for the Boston operations, stating that "this is a global transformation," and Novo Nordisk sites will each be impacted differently. The company has not yet finalized its plans for Boston.

After riding more than 150,000 miles, I've picked up a few lessons the hard way. Some came from near misses in traffic, others from my own mistakes. I can tell you this: these rules aren't written by a cycling committee. They're written on the road, in sweat and sometimes blood. Take them seriously, and you'll ride longer, safer, and with a little more joy.

With multiple mental health- related deaths already linked to ChatGPT, it now looks like the abysmal medical advice spat out by the OpenAI chatbot may end up claiming another life. In an interview with the Daily Mail, a 37-year-old named Warren Tierney explained how he went from a concerned and doting husband during his wife's difficult pregnancies to his own stage-four cancer diagnosis after the chatbot told him that his increasingly severe sore throat wasn't cause for concern.

In partnership with virtual care clinic HealthTap, Samsung Health will now connect users with doctors when they're looking for a faster alternative to an in-person doctor's visit. The new feature lets Samsung users message their virtual doctors in between video visits and same-day appointments. The press release also highlights its 365-day on-demand urgent care.

When Chris Wilder had a massive stroke four years ago, doctors told his wife that he might not survive and if he did, he might not ever walk or talk again. The former Valley Health Foundation executive director, then 53, had been rushed from his home in the Santa Cruz Mountains to Good Samaritan Hospital after Kate Wilder noticed her husband's face slump a sign of a stroke.
