The Biomedical Sciences Research Center of the Ribeirão Preto Medical School arises from the revision of an existing preliminary project that did not meet the demands of scientific research.

Most people leave doctor visits with prescriptions, but still feel unsure—instructions make sense, but no one asks about their life. In contrast, when a provider knows your name, remembers your story, and explains care in a way that fits you, the experience feels different—and that difference matters.

The heel prick test will now be accompanied by testing for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), a rare muscle-wasting condition that can potentially lead to a child's death by the age of two.

Kelly Chibale describes the drug discovery process as a fairy-tale quest, stating, 'It doesn't mean that there aren't surprises or miracles. They do happen, but you have to kiss many frogs before you meet the prince.' This metaphor illustrates the challenges and unpredictability in finding effective medicines.

On that sunny March morning, in a small health center in Lobamba, a rural area of Eswatini, this 32-year-old sex worker has just become one of the first people in the world to receive lenacapavir, a drug that, administered twice a year, offers nearly 100% protection against HIV.

Argentina will continue to promote international cooperation in health through bilateral agreements and regional forums, while fully preserving its sovereignty and its capacity to make decisions regarding health policies.

Some 1 million patients in the U.S. live with a type of heart disease called heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, or HFpEF, caused by a stiffening of a chamber of the heart that makes it much more challenging to distribute blood throughout the body. The condition has few approved therapies and high mortality rates.

Pregnancy is the only condition where Florida courts have ruled that a patient can be forced to undergo unwanted treatment. Even a state prisoner on a hunger strike has more rights to make medical decisions.

February is a time to honor Black history, resilience, and progress. It is also a moment to confront an uncomfortable truth: in New York City, equity in health, family stability, and community well-being is still shaped by race and zip code. For too many Black families, structural inequities continue to limit access to care, not because of individual choices, but because of where people live and how our systems are designed.

Born and raised in Texas, Dr Crowder left the state to attend Howard University. She earned her Bachelor of Science degree in 1982 and her Doctor of Medicine degree in 1986 from Howard University College of Medicine. She returned to Texas to begin practising and later became board-certified in Obstetrics and Gynaecology in 1994.

The truth, of course, is that anyone can contract HIV, given the right circumstance, and according to the Yale University Library's online exhibition " We Are Everywhere: Lesbians in the Archive," by 1991 roughly 40% of HIV-positive people and 12% of AIDS patients in the U.S. were women. But a combination of longstanding bias in the medical field and the perception of HIV/AIDS as a gay epidemic led to women being excluded from research studies and clinical trials.

Black people account for almost 40% of people living with HIV in the U.S., despite only representing 12% of the population. To address this disparity, Emil Wilbekin - the founder of Native Son, a platform created to inspire and empower Black gay men - assembled a panel of Black HIV activists and health experts during the last World AIDS Day to discuss how the medical, media, and queer communities can engage the topic of HIV among Black people with greater effectiveness.

Baptist Health Sunrise will be the health network's most innovative hospital, featuring a unique layout, with a medical office building integrated into the hospital and a structure designed to accommodate growth. It will open with 100 inpatient beds, a 30-bed emergency department - and plenty of room to expand on its 26 acres of land. It also includes the latest technology - robotic surgical equipment and AI-enabled imaging.

I'm certainly confident that we're going to have a breakthrough within my career, and I have a good 10 to 15 years left. While antiretroviral (ARV) therapies are extending lives and keeping HIV at bay, and PrEP has the potential to effectively halt transmission of the virus, a cure has remained elusive. That's because the HIV virus itself is elusive, both co-opting the immune system and hiding from it.

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
