Male fertility problems are more common than you might think. They can be caused by many things. These include lifestyle choices, health issues, and even where a man lives. A recent study looked at many different studies to find out more. The study found that things like age, weight, and smoking ca
A 40-year-old woman found herself in a tough spot. She had early-stage triple-negative breast cancer. But that wasn't all. During a routine eye check-up, doctors spotted a lesion in her right eye. It looked like it could be cancer that had spread from her breast. But she had no symptoms. No other si
Breast cancer is tough. When it spreads, things get even harder. Doctors are trying new ways to help. They want to see if teamwork can make a difference. In the past, one doctor handled everything. Now, teams of specialists work together. This is called a multidisciplinary approach. The goal is to
Lung cancer is more likely to spread to the brain than breast cancer or melanoma. This is a big problem because the blood-brain barrier makes it hard for treatments to reach the brain. Researchers wanted to find out which cancer spreads to the brain the most and if a natural compound could stop it.
Bevacizumab, ramucirumab, and aflibercept are drugs that can cause a lot of protein in the urine. This is called proteinuria. Doctors have known this for a while. But what they don't know is if these drugs can also hurt the kidneys. This is a big question. It needs more study. These drugs are used
Chyme reinfusion (CR) is a straightforward method that reconnects parts of the digestive system. It's like giving the gut a shortcut to heal itself. This technique is often used after surgeries involving fistulas or ostomies. The main goal was to see how CR affects recovery after these types of surg
Colorectal cancer is a serious health issue. Many people ask if capecitabine is a good choice for treatment. A recent study looked at the cost and benefits of this drug compared to active monitoring. The study focused on patients with stable or responding metastatic colorectal cancer after 16 weeks
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is tough to treat. It doesn't respond well to common therapies. But why? Recent research points to fat cells nearby. These fat cells change in ways that help cancer grow and spread. Normally, fat cells store energy. But in TNBC, they lose fat and become inflamed
The world is getting older, and so is the need for skilled caregivers. Nursing students are stepping up to fill this gap. A recent study took a deep dive into what these students go through when they care for elderly patients. The study used a method called meta-ethnography. This means researchers
Scientists have found a clever way to spot lead using tiny glass holes. They can't see lead directly, so they use a special trick. Here's how it works: they mix lead with some smart DNA bits. These bits react and create a signal. This signal is big enough for the glass holes to notice. The cool par
