Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a suitable non-invasive procedure for functional diagnosis in patients who, as a result of basic diagnostics, are suspected of having chronic coronary artery disease (CHD) or progression of known CAD does not expose patients to radiation. This is the final conclusion of the benefit assessment. The (German) report was published in October 2025, an English translation in January 2026. On behalf of the Federal Joint Commission (G-BA), the Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Healthcare (IQWiG) examined the advantages and disadvantages of cardiac MRI compared to a non-MRI diagnostic strategy. We identified only one,…

After 7 years of clinical research in tropical environmentsRecognized XCAPE by Edith Delight four key skin concerns that consistently affect melanin-rich skin regardless of age, location or lifestyle. These four concerns are: Surface dehydration Hyperpigmentation Weak elasticity Hyperactive sebaceous activity These findings now constitute the scientific basis behind every XCAPE formulation. While all four concerns play a critical role in skin health, surface dehydration emerged as the most overlooked trigger, it often silently leads to many other skin problems. In this article, we take a deeper look what superficial dehydration really is, why it affects melanin-rich skin differently, and how…

But many lifters focus on the shortcomings of weight training rather than its benefits, explains Brad Kolowich Jr. “If you can’t control your body, you don’t really own your power.” In his new book, The Bodyweight Blueprint, Strength coach Brad Kolowich Jr. aims to debunk the myths surrounding weight training and provide a blueprint for getting strong anytime, anywhere. Kolowich, a lifelong athlete and strength coach, trains high-profile figures such…
New study shows that aggressive cancer cells can be detected in a simple, new way. by how they behave physically, not just by their genes. Using specially textured Meta surfaces with tiny immobilized particles, the researchers found that aggressive cancer cells grip harder, swallow more particles, and change shape in ways that less aggressive cells don’t, differences that standard flat lab tests completely miss. This matters because it offers a rapid, label-free and potentially low-cost method for distinguishing aggressive cancer cells, improves our understanding of how cancer spreads, and opens the door to new diagnostic and research tools that could…
At the Black Women’s Health Imperative, we’re clear on this: AI isn’t just a technology issue. It’s a matter of health justice. That’s why artificial intelligence and emerging technologies are our mainstay National Health Policy Agenda. As these tools become more integrated into health care, insurance systems, and public health decision-making, the risks and benefits are not evenly distributed. With the release of tools like ChatGPT Healthartificial intelligence is increasingly positioned as a trusted source for medical information, decision support and patient engagement. These tools promise efficiency and access, but they also raise pressing questions about oversight, data integrity, and…
A carefully controlled study of lettuce irrigation reveals that while secondary treated wastewater may pose risks of antimicrobial resistance, tertiary treatment dramatically limits what reaches the crop. Study: Impact of agricultural wastewater reuse on the transfer of antimicrobial resistant bacteria and genes to food crops: a one health perspective. Image credit: Jasmine_K/Shutterstock.com Using treated wastewater to irrigate food crops conserves water resources, but the associated risks are poorly understood. A recent study published in the journal Frontiers in Microbiology examines the spread of antimicrobial resistance genes through treated wastewater used on crops in a controlled experimental environment. Balancing water scarcity…
