Dr. Hong explained that allergies are typically chronic and tend to flare up with seasonal triggers such as ragweed and mold. Common symptoms include sneezing, nasal congestion, a runny nose, and itchy, watery eyes. These reactions tend to occur suddenly, often within minutes of exposure to allergens, and persist as long as the individual remains exposed. Unlike colds, allergies are not contagious and do not involve fever or body aches.

Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb is urging NASA to redirect spacecraft toward interstellar object 3I/ATLAS, which continues to defy explanation months after discovery. With its strange glow, precise trajectory, and potential to be an alien probe, the object has reignited debate over extraterrestrial life. Scientists are calling for urgent imaging as public interest and disclosure speculation grow ahead of its December 19 flyby.

The White House and HHS have announced a 2026 launch of a voluntary, AI-powered digital health record system led by CMS, partnering with over 60 major tech and healthcare companies including Google, Amazon, Apple, and UnitedHealth. The initiative promises secure, seamless sharing of medical records across providers, personalized health insights, and modernized access through interoperable, patient-controlled tools.

A magnitude 8.8 earthquake off Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula triggered tsunami alerts across the Pacific, prompting mass evacuations in Japan, Hawaii, and U.S. coastal states. Waves up to 16 feet hit parts of Russia, while Hawaii and California saw minor surges. U.S. federal and state agencies mobilized early warnings, and most alerts have since been lifted. Here’s what happened and how authorities responded.

The City of Akron is notifying 6,600 water customers after routine testing detected slightly elevated levels of Haloacetic Acids (HAA5) at two sites. Officials emphasize there is no immediate health risk, and the water remains safe to drink. The city is taking corrective actions, including treatment adjustments and enhanced lake management, to bring levels back into compliance. Residents in the affected areas will receive mailed notifications in the coming weeks.

Eight children in the United Kingdom are thriving after being conceived through a pioneering reproductive technique designed to prevent the transmission of mitochondrial diseases, researchers announced Wednesday. The results, published in The New England Journal of Medicine, are the first detailed reports on the health outcomes of children born through mitochondrial donation, commonly known as three-parent IVF.

NASA’s Curiosity rover has uncovered a discovery unlike anything previously found on Mars. During a routine drive on May 30, 2024, in the Gediz Vallis channel on Mount Sharp, the rover accidentally crushed a rock, revealing bright yellow crystals inside. Follow-up analysis using the Alpha Particle X-ray Spectrometer confirmed that the material was elemental sulfur, a form of sulfur never before detected on the Red Planet.

Scientists have confirmed groundbreaking findings from a sample collected by NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft, which retrieved material from asteroid Bennu, located about 63 million kilometers from Earth. Early analysis of the sample revealed a treasure trove of prebiotic chemicals, including 14 of the 20 amino acids that life on Earth uses to build proteins, all five nucleotide bases required for DNA and RNA, and minerals that form in salty, evaporating water.

The latest wellness trend capturing attention across Hollywood is known as biohacking, a practice that blends lifestyle interventions with science-based techniques to enhance health, performance, and longevity. While the concept is not new, its recent surge in popularity has brought both enthusiasm and concern among health professionals.

British Egyptologist Dr. Chris Naunton, who led the excavation team, described the finding as “an ancient crime scene,” highlighting the contradiction of a sealed structure hiding the signs of internal disturbance. “The burial had already been disturbed before it was closed forever,” Dr. Naunton said. “The capstone was meant to protect the tomb, but it also ensured that the burial chamber was never checked again.”

Stewart, R‑Ashville, said lawmakers plan to reconvene in the fall and “potentially take another crack” at the legislation. House Speaker Matt Huffman, R‑Lima, voiced concern that the Senate had introduced more than a dozen issues, and emphasized that House priorities, including the two‑year operating budget due July 1, would take precedence over rushing cannabis reforms. The legislature intends to break for summer following the budget’s approval.

The frescoes, made up of thousands of painted plaster fragments, were originally part of a grand residence built between 43 and 150 C.E. in what is now Southwark, London. The building was destroyed before 200 C.E., leaving only a debris pit of shattered wall pieces. Excavations conducted between 2021 and 2022 unearthed the fragments at “The Liberty of Southwark,” the future site of a mixed-use development.

The decision has raised serious concerns throughout Cleveland’s eastern suburbs, where families are now facing a future with fewer options f

The studio's offerings extend beyond traditional yoga. Instructor Megan introduced me to the practice of sound baths, using a Native American drum flute to create hauntingly beautiful melodies that resonated deeply, promoting relaxation and inner peace. These sound baths are available in monthly classes and are also integrated into weekly sessions that combine yoga and sound healing.

Japanese researchers have launched the first human clinical trials of a groundbreaking drug designed to stimulate the growth of a third set of teeth, aiming to offer an alternative to dentures and implants by 2030. The trial, led by Dr. Katsu Takahashi at the Medical Research Institute Kitano Hospital in Osaka, began in October 2024 at Kyoto University Hospital and involves 30 adult males aged 30 to 64 who are each missing at least one tooth.

The OHISAMA satellite, named after the Japanese word for "sun," will orbit Earth at an altitude of roughly 250 miles. It will gather sunlight through a compact two-square-meter solar panel, convert it into microwaves, and beam the energy down to a ground-based receiver array in Suwa, Japan. The initial output of one kilowatt—sufficient to power a small appliance like a coffee maker—serves primarily as a proof of concept for much larger applications.

According to Dr. Foldvary, those who naturally stay up late often struggle to get the rest they need because their sleep timing does not align with societal norms. Over time, this misalignment can contribute to a range of health conditions, including depression, high blood pressure, and type 2 diabetes. Common behaviors such as using phones or watching TV before bed can further delay sleep, potentially indicating an underlying condition like Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome.

The release comes amid a broader national conversation around soda consumption and health risks. The Cleveland Clinic has consistently warned about the dangers associated with traditional sodas and diet sodas. In a 2019 statement, Dr. Mark Hyman emphasized that both sugary and artificially sweetened beverages negatively impact metabolism and gut microbiomes. A 2020 Cleveland Clinic report by Dr. Irina Todorov reinforced these concerns, linking even moderate soda consumption t

The effort, punctuated by occasional questions from Democratic colleagues, surpassed the previous Senate floor record set in 1957 by Sen. St

The researchers propose that this underground network could be linked to the legendary Hall of Records; a mythical repository of ancient kno
