‘It’s only hair.’ I’ve lost count of how many times people have said this to me over the past 10 months, but until you start balding, you really don’t know how damaging a statement it can be. My name is Tommy, I am a 30 year old American living in London and I have Alopecia […]
You’ve probably seen the heartstring-pulling picture of the Queen’s corgis, Muick and Sandy, looking despondent on the day of the monarch’s funeral. Or, like so many of us, when Queen Elizabeth II died, perhaps the first question you asked was: ‘but what happens to her dogs?’. While we’re often prone to anthropomorphizing our pets, the […]
Editor’s note: Find the latest COVID-19 news and guidance in Medscape’s Coronavirus Resource Center. Americans should get the new Omicron-specific COVID-19 vaccine before Halloween to boost their immunity levels ahead of a potential surge in infections this winter. Ideally, people should get a shot between mid-September and mid-October but “no later than the end of […]
In a recent study posted to the medRxiv* preprint server, researchers developed a high-throughput, rapid antigen severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike protein detection test using allonamers, a new type of aptamers that carry out allosteric regulation instead of catalytic activity. Study: Development of Q-LAAD, an allonamer-based antigen test for the rapid detection of […]

All three were taken to a nearby hospital, and though Peggy was the least injured, her ambulance bill was almost three times her sister’s bill. CBS Mornings spotlighted this Bill […]
“I’m struggling a bit this morning,” a client of mine stated at the start of our session the morning of June 24, 2022. “I just heard on the news about the decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. There was so much for me to process I had to turn it off.” While this client did […]
Researchers who reviewed 20 years of diet history and 30 years of physical and clinical measurements have found participants who ate walnuts early on in life showed a greater likelihood for being more physically active, having a higher quality diet, and experiencing a better heart disease risk profile as they aged into middle adulthood. These […]
Up to 1 in 5 women in the postpartum period will experience a mental health disorder like postpartum depression or generalized anxiety disorder. How an organization handles a mother’s return to work can have a significant impact on her mental health, according to new research from the University of Georgia. Organizations control the majority of […]
A newly identified set of molecules alleviated pain in mice while avoiding the sedating affect that limits the use of opiates, according to a new study led by researchers at UC San Francisco. The molecules act on the same receptor as clonidine and dexmedetomidine—drugs commonly used in hospitals as sedatives—but are chemically unrelated to them […]
Using artificial intelligence (AI), researchers have developed an algorithm that can help improve the prediction of colorectal cancer (CRC) recurrence. The QuantCRC algorithm can identify patients with CRC who might be able to skip chemotherapy, given a low probability of recurrence, and identify those patients at high risk for recurrence who may benefit from more […]
