In early 2021, the FDA approved the first long-acting injectable antiretroviral, cabotegravir/rilpivirine (LA-CAB/RPV), for people with HIV who are doing well on their current treatment.

Imagine Mike Tyson, the legendary boxer, stepping into the ring with Jake Paul, a YouTuber-turned-boxer. You’d expect Tyson to show his old form, right? Well, that didn’t happen. The 30-year age gap mattered a lot. A prominent combat sports journalist, Kevin Iole, explains that fans should look at t
Imagine a family where politics and religion don't divide, but bring people closer. That was the case with John Mitchell, who was as conservative as he was Christian. He was a cardiologist, while his sister-in-law, the narrator, was anything but. Despite their differences, they found a common ground
Advanced MRI techniques like MP2RAGE-FLAWS are shaking things up in the medical world. Originally, doctors relied on T2-w fat-saturated (FS) TSE imaging to spot optic nerve (ON) demyelination in multiple sclerosis patients. But guess what? MP2RAGE-FLAWS can detect brain and spine demyelinating issue
