CAR-T therapy, a cutting-edge cancer treatment, can sometimes lead to a condition called ICANS. This condition can cause seizures, and doctors have been studying brain wave patterns to better understand it. Doctors have been looking at continuous EEG data from patients with ICANS. They want to see
Tummy tucks have come a long way in the last decade. Surgeons have been fine-tuning their techniques to make the procedure safer and more effective. One key change is the focus on preserving something called the Scarpa fascia. This is a layer of tissue under the skin that plays a big role in how the
The idea that famous sociologists like Karl Marx, Max Weber, and Emile Durkheim were all about secularization might not be as straightforward as it seems. Over time, people have assumed these thinkers were on the same page, predicting religion's decline. But let's take a closer look. These sociolog
Prostate cancer treatment isn't always straightforward. After surgery, some patients might need additional treatment. This is because cancer cells can sometimes linger, leading to what doctors refer to as a biochemical recurrence. It's like trying to get rid of weeds in a garden, but some roots rema
Deion Sanders, a football legend, has two sons in the NFL, but their experiences are worlds apart. Shilo, a safety, is thriving in Tampa Bay, while Shedeur, a quarterback, is taking a different path in Cleveland. Shedeur is not seeking any special treatment. He doesn't want his dad around while he'
Mitochondria are like tiny powerhouses inside our cells. They keep us going, but sometimes they go wrong and cause problems. Tiny molecules called miRNAs help control these powerhouses. Scientists have been trying to find ways to see and fix these miRNAs to help treat diseases like cancer. A new id
Biliary tract cancer (BTC) has long been a challenging disease to treat. Traditionally, doctors relied on a combination of cisplatin and gemcitabine as the go-to treatment. But things are changing. Adding durvalumab, a type of immunotherapy, to this mix has shown promising results. It's making a rea

In the Netherlands, a new way to mix faith and therapy is being tested. It's called the faith relationship interview, or FRI for short. Here, teens and their therapists chat about beliefs, feelings about God, and how their faith shapes their relationships. Eight teens and four therapists took part
Cancer is tricky. It hides and grows, making it hard to treat. But what if we could send tiny, smart helpers to find and fight cancer cells? That's the idea behind a new type of nanoparticle. These aren't just any nanoparticles. They're designed to stay calm and inactive while traveling through the
