One of the most common genetic heart diseases worldwide, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) causes the walls of the left ventricle to become thick and stiff. In about 70 percent of cases, patients with HCM experience obstruction to blood flow, which increases pressures in the heart and can lead to chest pain, shortness of breath and reduced exercise capacity.
Member States of the World Health Organization (WHO) were due to converge on text for a global pandemic agreement during their ninth and final negotiating session in March; however, insufficient progress was made in those two weeks, in terms of finding consensus.

A study among 57,006 adolescents shows daily electronic vapor use has significantly increased by more than three-and-one-half times from 2015 to 2019. In 2015, daily use was significantly higher in boys (2.8%) than girls (1.1%). By 2021, it was higher in girls (5.6%) than boys (4.5%).
At the University of Alberta, researchers explored how intense ultrasound can release biological indicators of disease from cells. These biomarkers can help identify different types of cancer and inform the subsequent therapy.
There are currently no medical treatments for thoracic aortic aneurysm. Using human cells in laboratory rats, researchers have developed a functional model of thoracic aortic aneurysm, creating opportunities for more effective understanding of disease development and treatments for the potentially fatal condition, a study suggests.
For people with autism, constipation, diarrhea, and abdominal pain often go along with the social struggles and repetitive behaviors that define the condition. This has prompted many to wonder whether gastrointestinal (GI) problems arise due to autism’s behavioral or sensory features, or whether they might instead contribute to them.
