The American Cancer Society now recommends clearer PSA screening schedules, with earlier annual testing for Black men and certain men with a family history, following stronger evidence that screening can reduce prostate cancer deaths.
A boy, 15, needed emergency treatment after drinking a beverage containing cod collagen, even though skin prick tests for several fish allergies were negative. Experts say fish derived proteins in drinks and supplements demand close label scrutiny.
Sunharbo reduced ischemic stroke risk by 26% in a phase 3 trial, but bleeding concerns affected some patients. Cardiologist Richard Kovacs says treatment discussions should begin soon after a qualifying stroke because trial participants received the drug within 72 hours.
Europa offers an enormous hidden ocean, while Enceladus boasts geysers carrying complex chemicals. Missions arriving in the early 2030s could clarify Europa’s potential, but a planned search for life at Enceladus may require waiting until the early 2050s.
On the Tiangong Space Station, a Chinese research team cooled 20,000 rubidium atoms to 9.7 picokelvins, setting the first cold temperature record in space and exceeding the brief experimental windows possible with simulated microgravity on Earth.
An NIH study associated higher blood levels of two persistent PFAS chemicals with sharply elevated rates of aggressive ER-negative breast cancer, though researchers emphasized that the findings do not prove the chemicals caused the disease.
The FDA is requiring updated warnings for several popular GLP-1 medicines after reviewing evidence of a potential increased risk of NAION, a serious condition that can cause sudden vision loss and permanent sight impairment.
An 11 day old Texas baby received vitamin K only after an ambulance team arrived hours into her emergency room stay. She later died following catastrophic blood loss, leaving her parents demanding answers about the delayed transfer and treatment.
Boiling and prolonged heat may reduce some of broccoli’s valuable nutrients and compounds, but brief steaming, advance chopping, mustard powder and careful use of cooking water could help diners retain more of its potential benefits.
Researchers have proposed 27 giant exoplanets as potential targets for Lazuli, a private space telescope launching in 2029 that will use advanced instruments to examine reflected light and investigate distant planetary atmospheres.

A review of 33 studies linked two fresh green kiwis a day for about four weeks with more regular bowel movements, less straining and better digestive comfort, though researchers said the fruit was not necessarily superior to other options.
Experiments with captive hawkmoths reveal how separate lineages repeatedly evolved genital structures that produce ultrasound, offering different defenses against bats and an unusually vivid example of convergent evolution.
Researchers argue that Homo sapiens possessed musical abilities at least 135,000 years ago, while chimpanzee behavior and evolutionary evidence suggest some essential components of music may trace back millions of years before the emergence of our species.
A first systematic survey of US physicians found a 25.5% estimated chance that an ideally preserved brain could be revived, prompting researchers to call for medical and legal guidance for patients seeking preservation after death.
Scientists monitored 30 people with previous ghost experiences as they gazed into a mirror, finding no clear synesthesia effect but uncovering correlations involving creativity, environmental measurements, and heart rate variability.
