The World Health Organization on Tuesday defended the science-based process used to determine childhood immunisation schedules after U.S. President Donald Trump signed an ⁠executive order aimed at reducing the number of recommended childhood vaccinations in the United States.

On Monday, Trump signed an executive order calling for a reduced childhood vaccination schedule ⁠of 11 immunisations. Trump said the move would provide U.S. children with "gold-standard" protection and align the United States more closely with other developed countries ⁠that recommend fewer shots. Vaccine experts say that other ‌developed countries that may recommend fewer shots face different disease risks and have different healthcare systems.

The order advances a long-standing objective of U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has questioned vaccine safety and promoted claims linking vaccines to autism even though scientific studies and public health authorities have found no evidence of a link.

Endometriosis is a chronic, incurable systemic inflammatory disease that affects approximately 10% of women of reproductive age. Although it is best known to cause severe pelvic pain, its symptoms can also include migraine, digestive problems, anxiety, and depression, which may be interpreted as unrelated conditions.

The broad range of symptoms and difficulty in establishing a diagnosis contribute to substantial underdiagnosis and diagnostic delays that can last for years. The condition can, therefore, have a profound effect on physical and mental health and quality of life.

To better understand the varied ways endometriosis can present, researchers at the Institut de Recerca Sant Pau in Barcelona, Spain, analyzed clinical and health data from women with endometriosis enrolled in the US-based All of Us research program, one of the world’s largest population-based biobanks. These findings were published in Human Reproduction. Continue reading: https://mdsc.pe/4zhyDWT

Neurosurgery has undergone a profound evolution. We've moved from the irreversible tissue damage of Walter Freeman's transorbital lobotomies to the precise, targeted neural modulation of modern Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS).

While history reminds us of the dangers of unchecked therapeutic hope, today's practices emphasize strict clinical oversight and informed consent. Read more here: https://mdsc.pe/45tOUdN

"Today we’re going to talk about kindness. That is, being kind to others. It’s one of the core tenets of civilization and one of the core tenets of most religions. In the Book of Proverbs, it says, “A person who is kind is beneficial for him or herself.”

It turns out there’s a lot of scientific evidence to support that contention. Being kind lowers one’s levels of cortisol. The act of kindness actually improves inflammatory markers." Watch the full commentary from Neil Skolnik, MD: https://mdsc.pe/4wQdxNP

There is a myth that fruit has too much sugar. But the reality is that your body is pretty smart about processing natural sugars.

One study let people eat all the fruit they wanted, we're talking up to 20 servings a day, and found zero downside. No weight gain. No blood pressure spike. No cholesterol issues.

So this summer, eat the watermelon. Enjoy the strawberries. Load up on the peaches. ✨ 🍉
