Risk Factors for Aortic Dissection: What You Need to Know
An aortic dissection is a rare but life-threatening medical emergency. It happens when a tear forms in the inner layer of the aorta, the largest artery in the body. Blood flows into the tear and separates the layers of the artery wall. This can reduce blood flow to important organs or even cause the aorta to rupture.
Understanding and Treating Multiple Myeloma
Multiple myeloma is a type of blood cancer that starts in plasma cells, a type of white blood cell found in the bone marrow. Normally, these cells help fight infection by making antibodies. But in multiple myeloma, they become cancerous, multiply uncontrollably, and produce abnormal proteins that can damage the bones, kidneys, and immune system.
Can Folic Acid during Pregnancy Help Prevent Autism?

Antibody-drug Conjugate ENHERTU Moves Into Earlier Endometrial Cancer Treatment in Major New Clinical Trial
Endometrial cancer is the second most common gynecologic cancer worldwide, and researchers continue to search for ways to reduce the risk of recurrence after initial treatment. While significant progress has been made in advanced disease, preventing cancer from returning remains a major challenge.
A new phase 3 clinical trial known as DESTINY-Endometrial02 is evaluating whether ENHERTU (trastuzumab deruxtecan) can help patients with HER2-expressing endometrial cancer when used earlier in treatment. The study reflects growing interest in bringing targeted therapies into earlier stages of care, where they may have the greatest impact.
Access to Naloxone Can Save a Life During an Opioid Overdose
Anyone can save a life during an opioid overdose with naloxone, a front-line defense in the nation’s overdose crisis. Naloxone is a life-saving drug that, when sprayed into the nose or injected, quickly reverses the powerful effects of opioids during an overdose.
Everyone who overdoses with opioids, whether with a prescribed medicine or an illicit drug, can use naloxone, including nasal sprays and injections. Examples of opioids include heroin, fentanyl, oxycodone, hydrocodone, codeine, and morphine.
