"Suze was pregnant, but her uterus was empty, and a giant benign ovarian cyst weighing over 20 pounds was taking up so much space," said John Ozimek, medical director of labor and delivery, in the release. "We then discovered a nearly full-term baby boy in a small space in the abdomen, near the liver, with his butt resting on the uterus. A pregnancy this far outside the uterus that continues to develop is almost unheard of."
A Food and Drug Administration panel of health experts convened Wednesday to discuss and promote the health benefits of testosterone treatments for men. FDA Commissioner Martin Makary told Morning Edition that low testosterone is believed to be associated with symptoms in roughly one-third of men who have it, though he said the evidence and data are not fully defined. Symptoms can include "reduction in mood and vitality," Makary said.
Lying on your back in a big hospital scanner, as still as you can, with your arms above your head for 45 minutes. It doesn't sound much fun. That's what patients at Royal Brompton Hospital in London had to do during certain lung scans, until the hospital installed a new device last year that cut these examinations down to just 15 minutes.
Dementia is one of the great fears of aging, especially as rates continue to climb in many countries. So when headlines suggest that tinnitus-a condition affecting nearly one in five adults-may be linked to dementia, people predictably become anxious. I often meet patients more concerned about the fear of cognitive decline than of the ringing itself. In many cases, this fear alone makes their tinnitus worse.
Maintaining medical records for tens of millions of people in the UK has become a colossal administrative challenge for the NHS. A recent trial of 's AI-driven healthcare tool Dragon Copilot has improved efficiency and enhanced the doctor-patient relationship. One of the essential responsibilities for clinicians (healthcare professionals, such as a doctor or nurse, who provide direct patient care) is accurate record-taking. This adds a substantial administrative burden to each consultation and takes up a considerable amount of time.
Amy Lindberg spent 26 years in the Navy and she still walked like it-with intention, like her chin had someplace to be. But around 2017, her right foot stopped following orders. Lindberg and her husband Brad were five years into their retirement. After moving 10 times for Uncle Sam, they'd bought their dream house near the North Carolina coast. They had a backyard that spilled out onto wetlands. From the kitchen, you could see cranes hunting. They kept bees and played pickleball and watched their children grow.
Hormone receptor-positive (HR+) breast cancer accounts for 75% of all breast cancer diagnoses, and endocrine therapies represent the mainstay of treatment for patients with HR+ breast cancer, in both adjuvant and metastatic settings1. Yet, the efficacy of standard endocrine therapies is limited by primary or acquired resistance2. Periodic fasting enhances the efficacy of endocrine therapies against HR+ breast cancer and delays acquired therapy resistance in animal models3.
The hot toddy has a reputation as a folk remedy for illness. And if you're sick, a steaming cup of whiskey, honey, lemon, and water can sound like a lot more fun than crackers and broth. But what about the alcohol? Here's what experts say about hot toddies and colds. Overall, it's not a great idea, experts say. Patients sometimes bring up hot toddies as a cold remedy, says Jesse Bracamonte, a family medicine physician at Mayo Clinic in Phoenix, Arizona.
A new witness has come forward to support a former manager's claims that she was told to remove children from the spinal surgery wait list at Children's Health Ireland (CHI).
Car accidents are usually spoken about in terms of damage, repairs, and insurance claims. Yet beyond the visible dents and broken glass, many individuals walk away with hidden injuries that affect their daily lives long after the vehicle has been restored. The aftermath can involve more than a visit to the body shop; it often requires medical attention, emotional support, and financial decisions that reach into every part of life.
At Goodlettsville Family Dental, Dr Mathews focuses on full-mouth rehabilitation, dental implants, Invisalign, veneers, and cosmetic enhancements. He also provides facial aesthetic treatments, including Botox and dermal fillers, helping patients look and feel their best. His approach is grounded in integrity and precision-every diagnosis and treatment plan is guided by his belief that patients deserve the same standard of care as family.
Cancer is not a monolith. "We speak about cancer like it's one disease, but it's more like thousands of different diseases," said Simone Korsgaard Jensen, CEO and founder of Radical Health. "On top of that, every single individual is so different. But right now we still treat it with a one-size fits-all approach. And that's where data and AI can especially step in to help."
Michael VanRooyen has spent decades responding to emergencies around the world, with no choice but to stare straight ahead at suffering, destruction, and death. These experiences have taught him how to ease pain amid chaos, forced him to navigate moments of intense fear and danger, and given him the technical and emotional depth to support war-torn communities in their efforts to heal and rebuild.
Most people say they want to live to a ripe old age. But that isn't really true. What people really want is to live to a ripe, old age in good mental and physical health. Some of us actually get to live this dream. These folks are known as super-agers and they make it well into their 80s not just in decent physical shape, but also with minds at least as sharp as people 30 years younger.
Check downtime, side effects, risks, whether you can fly afterward and whether the treatment is right for you - particularly if you're travelling (we've also offered advice on that below.) A good rule of thumb for judging how ethical a practitioner is? Notice how pressured you feel. If you're ever upsold, nudged toward extra tweakments or steered into something you didn't ask for, that's a red flag. Less is more - and the best clinicians will always make you feel informed, not persuaded.
Up until she was 18, she practiced gymnastics 4 to 5 days a week. "I loved the discipline, I loved having a regimented schedule," Jonozzo, 31, told Business Insider. "That instilled how important health and fitness are to your lifestyle." In her 20s, she gravitated toward marathon running. A supply chain analyst, Jonozzo would regularly wake up at 4 or 5 am to lift for two hours and run before going to work.
When you think about osteoporosis, your mind probably jumps to images of frail bones or perhaps an elder's hunched posture. The problem is that our hips are the most at-risk areas for this condition. Not only that, but hip fractures from osteoporosis are among the worst health complications that a person can face in their lives, something that often leads to long-term mobility issues and even life-threatening complications.
Kyle Sieniawski, 14, from Pontypridd, Rhondda Cynon Taf, died on 27 November, after being diagnosed less than a year ago with MND. The disease typically affects people aged over 50, and Kyle is believed to be the youngest person to have died with MND in the UK. Former rugby league star Kevin Sinfield, who is currently running seven ultramarathons in seven days for MND awareness, told Kyle's family the "community" will be there for them, and Kyle "will always be remembered".
They are writhing, holding their stomach, complaining of really bad abdominal pain and nausea, said Dr. Sam Wang, a pediatric emergency medicine specialist and toxicologist at Children's Hospital Colorado, who treats adolescents with the condition. They vomit and then just continue to vomit whatever they have in their stomach, which can go on for hours, Wang told CNN in a prior interview.
Medical experts are questioning the White House's explanation for President Donald Trump's MRI tests as preventive. A Monday memo released by presidential physician Sean Barbabella described the results of a thorough evaluation of cardiovascular and abdominal health as normal. This level of detailed assessment is standard for an executive physical at President Trump's age, Barbabella said. But imaging experts who spoke to Scientific American expressed doubts as to Barbabella's assertion that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) screening is typical preventive care.
