Primary aldosteronism (PA) is a tricky condition to diagnose. It often hides in plain sight, making it hard for doctors to pin down. One tool they use is the Captopril Challenge Test (CCT). Patients prefer it because it's straightforward. However, the best way to conduct this test remains uncertain.
Measles is back with a vengeance in the U. S. In the first half of 2025, cases have already skyrocketed past the previous year's total. Over 1, 277 people have been infected, with the majority of cases tied to a massive outbreak in west Texas. This isn't just a small blip. The virus is highly conta
AI is making big waves in healthcare. It's not just about robots and sci-fi stuff. This tech is helping doctors spot diseases earlier and treat patients better. For example, AI can look at medical images and find cancer before it spreads. It's like having a super-smart assistant that never gets tire
Doctors often need help deciding when to order scans like X-rays or MRIs. A tool called a clinical decision support system (CDSS) is designed to assist with these choices. The MIDAS trial tested one such tool, ESR iGuide, in four big German hospitals. But using new tech in hospitals isn't easy. The
In Poland, scientists found something interesting: tiny red yeasts that can break down fats. They tested 130 different types of these yeasts. Out of all of them, 12 stood out because they were really good at breaking down fats. These special yeasts are all from the same family, called Rhodotorula.
Climate change is making droughts worse, and India is feeling the heat. Past studies tried to predict droughts but had problems. They used models that weren't always accurate and focused on specific areas or future scenarios. This made it hard to plan effectively. A new approach called the Drought
Doctors and patients often have different views on time and risk. This can change how treatments are chosen and how well people get better. But we don't know much about how these differences affect health. A recent study looked at how doctors and regular people see time and risk. It also checked if
The Sio Malaba Malakisi River Basin, shared by Kenya and Uganda, faces a big problem: pollution. This area is important for people's lives and the economy, but not enough is known about how the water quality changes over time and space. A recent study took a close look at this issue. They collected
Healthcare in the U. S. isn't fair. Some people face more hurdles in getting proper treatment for epilepsy. This leads to more trips to the emergency room. Researchers wanted to see why this happens. They looked at data. They found a pattern. People without insurance or with public insurance often
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a tricky disease. It messes with the brain and nerves. It can cause big problems if not caught early. Doctors use MRI scans to find MS. But telling MS apart from other brain issues is hard. AI is stepping in to help. A new tool uses deep learning to look at MRI scans. It
