Rising Cases of Ebola in DR Congo The Democratic Republic of Congo is once again facing an Ebola outbreak, marking the 16th time the deadly virus has emerged in the country. Health authorities have confirmed multiple deaths and dozens of suspected infections, with communities in the Kasai province at the

The Idea of Immortality Through Transplants The concept of using organ transplants to extend human life has long captured scientific imagination. While traditionally focused on saving lives, modern medicine is pushing the boundaries toward prolonging them. Research shows that transplanted organs such as kidneys, hearts, and livers can significantly extend

Living with the APOE4 Gene: Understanding the Risk Alzheimer’s disease remains one of the most pressing public health challenges of the 21st century. For individuals who inherit two copies of the APOE4 variant, the risk is significantly higher compared to the general population. Studies suggest that carriers of this genotype

The global struggle with salt consumption Salt remains one of the most widely debated elements in nutrition and health science. While excessive sodium intake has long been associated with hypertension, strokes, and cardiovascular disease, new research is challenging the conventional wisdom that “the less salt, the better.” Studies reveal that

Strep throat is one of the most common childhood infections, often treated with antibiotics and forgotten within days. Yet, in rare cases, this seemingly harmless illness can set off a chain reaction in a child’s immune system, leading to profound changes in the brain. The condition, known as Paediatric Autoimmune

Artificial intelligence is reshaping the future of medicine. One of its most promising applications is in the development of cancer vaccines. With the ability to process massive amounts of patient data at extraordinary speed, advanced AI supercomputers are now helping scientists uncover hidden biological patterns. These patterns could unlock new

The Role of Food in Sleep Quality The relationship between nutrition and rest is stronger than many people realize. What you eat throughout the day has a direct impact on your sleep cycles, energy balance, and even the release of hormones such as melatonin and serotonin. Instead of focusing only

The Hidden Chemistry Between Food and Medicines When we take medication, it’s easy to assume it will work the same way every time. But what we eat or drink can significantly alter how drugs behave inside the body. Certain foods can strengthen the potency of medicines, making them more powerful

Brain Implants: A Breakthrough in Human Communication Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are opening new opportunities for people with paralysis, enabling them to transform neural activity into synthesized speech. Until recently, most implants relied on signals from attempted speech, where patients tried to physically form words even if their muscles could not.
