A group of researchers wanted to see if simple questions asked before a colonoscopy could flag people at risk for serious colon polyps. They focused on an urban population where most patients are African American, a group that often faces limited access to colonoscopy. Instead of waiting for the pro
The study was a 21‑year test that followed over a thousand adults who had high blood sugar but not yet full diabetes. The participants were split into three groups: one that worked hard on diet and exercise, one that took a drug called metformin, and a third that got a fake pill. All of them were to
In a recent survey across several cities in Southwest China, researchers examined how well people living with gout follow their prescribed urate‑lowering drugs.

Senator Ruben Gallego of Arizona has spent a notable amount of campaign money on family vacations and childcare, according to recent filings. The leader’s PAC paid for trips to Saint Barthélemy, Disney parks, Miami and Chicago, as well as a Super Bowl event that cost more than $37, 000. In many case
China’s cities are growing fast, but the way they expand can trap the country in high‑carbon habits. To keep cities modern and the planet healthy, experts look at how “new urbanization” (NU) meshes with a zero‑carbon plan. They measured this mix by combining several statistical tools, includin
