In interviews I did for the Prostate Cancer Foundation website, Weill Cornell Medicine urologist Jim C. Hu, MD, MPH (whose expert opinion was also featured in ours book)discusses what a rising or persistent PSA means after treatment for localized prostate cancer and what to do next. Remember the first lesson from Part 1: Don’t Panic! How do you know if localized prostate cancer is curable? This answer to this question is clear for men undergoing radical prostatectomy: in the weeks after the operation, the PSA should be undetectable, falling to less than 0.1.

With only three bridges—one in the north, one in the center, and one in the south—entry and exit…

Our data show that nonwhite children with cleft lip are significantly more likely to experience delays, complications, and prolonged hospital stays than white children.

As cannabis becomes more widely accepted in the US, discussions about its use are becoming more common — even among expectant mothers. A recent study from the University of Georgia highlights a trend: among 4,338 expectant mothers, 5.7% reported marijuana use during pregnancy, often to manage symptoms such as nausea. The study noted various methods of cannabis consumption among pregnant women – smoking, edibles and tinctures. However, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) advises against the use of cannabis during pregnancy, given the potential risks to the health of the fetus.

A common but underdiagnosed sleep disorder contributes to the development of dementia among adults -? especially women, suggests a Michigan Medicine study.
