Siemens Healthineers today announced that its brain health research offerings are expanding, with the brain-derived, fully automated Atellica IM Phosphorylated tau 217 (pTau217) and Atellica IM Brain Derived Tau (BDTau) assays now available for 1. Each year, there are nearly 10 million new cases of dementia diagnosed worldwide2.

How Low Testosterone Almost Broke Me and What I Learned as a GP As a qualification GPwith over a decade of experience in NHSI thought I had a pretty solid grasp of men’s health and hormones in general.

But I never expected to experience hormonal issues myself, nor did I realize how little I really understood about testosterone deficiency. My journey began at 29. My wife was pregnant with our first child after a long, difficult period of ectopic pregnancy and several unexplained miscarriages. One…
When that afternoon slump hits, our focus wanes and our energy levels drop, causing us to reach for another cup of coffee or energy drink to get us through the day. The problem with this approach is that it relies on stimulation for energy. In our fast-paced and demanding modern lifestyles, stimulants in coffee, energy drinks, pre-workouts or thermogenic fat burners are often used to cover up exhaustion, stress, anxiety or poor work-life balance rather than addressing the root causes. While stimulants provide a temporary boost for our nervous system, sustainable energy is based on nutrition, hydration and recovery. If…

However, a major side effect is an increased risk of excessive bleeding, even from minor injuries such as small cuts to the skin. In ACS Central Science, researchers report the discovery of a snail-derived compound that blocks clot formation while maintaining bleeding control in mouse models. Blood clots are natural temporary bandages that seal wounds and stop bleeding. These helpful clots – called hemostatic clots – speed healing in injuries such as cuts to the…
My story It used to feel like a race car covered in commercials with no pit stops. This is the most honest way I can describe what my life was like in 2015. I was a full-time YouTuber and I made three videos a week. I taught in person all over Boston. I was coaching individual clients, creating my own programming, running my own marketing, chasing brand deals and going on sponsor trips. From the outside, it probably looked like I had it figured out. Inside, I was quietly burning and began to wonder if this was really sustainable. Sponsorship…

But in the age of social media and constant exposure, comparison has become more than a passing thought — it’s a daily habit.
