  HER2 and CD24 Emerge as Promising Radiotheranostic Targets in Endometrial Cancer Introduction Endometrial cancer, the most common gynecological cancer in developed countries, has been steadily rising in incidence worldwide. While early-stage disease often responds well to surgery and conventional therapies, advanced and recurrent cases remain challenging to treat. Over the last decade, researchers have been exploring precision oncology strategies—approaches that target specific molecular markers in cancer cells to improve outcomes. Among these emerging strategies is radiotheranostics , a cutting-edge field that combines diagnostic imaging and targeted radionuclide therapy. The idea is simple yet powerful: use the same molecule to both detect and destroy cancer cells. Recent studies highlight two promising molecular candidates for radiotheranostic development in endometrial cancer— HER2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2) and CD24 , a cell surface glycoprotein. In t...

  HPV Vaccination Drive Starts Sept 15: A Major Step Toward Preventing Cervical Cancer Introduction Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most common viral infections in the world and a major cause of cervical cancer. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 95% of cervical cancer cases are linked to HPV infection. In response to this growing concern, health authorities are set to launch a nationwide HPV vaccination drive starting on September 15 . This vaccination campaign aims to protect millions of girls and young women from HPV-related diseases, reduce the burden of cervical cancer, and spread awareness about preventive healthcare. The program will also highlight the importance of early protection, safe practices, and regular screenings. In this article, we will explore the details of the upcoming HPV vaccination drive, its significance, how the vaccine works, who should get vaccinated, and how this initiative will impact public health in the years to ...

  LASIK Alternative Reshapes Vision with Electricity, Not Lasers Introduction For decades, LASIK surgery has been the gold standard for correcting common vision problems like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Millions of people have undergone laser eye surgery to reduce or eliminate their dependence on glasses and contact lenses. However, LASIK isn’t the right option for everyone. Some patients worry about risks, costs, or complications, while others may not qualify due to thin corneas or other health issues. Now, researchers and eye specialists are exploring a promising new alternative that could reshape the future of vision correction. Instead of relying on lasers to change the curvature of the cornea, this breakthrough technique uses electric fields to reshape vision—offering a less invasive and potentially safer solution. This emerging treatment, sometimes referred to as electro-refractive therapy , could transform how millions of people achieve clear sight...

  Genetics Can Raise Dementia Risks. But the Mediterranean Diet May Counter Them, Study Finds Introduction Dementia is one of the most concerning health challenges of the modern age, affecting millions of people worldwide. With no permanent cure available, scientists are constantly exploring the factors that influence dementia risks and potential ways to reduce them. Genetics plays a powerful role in determining whether someone may develop dementia, particularly Alzheimer’s disease. However, new research suggests that lifestyle choices—especially diet—can counteract some of these inherited risks. A recent study has revealed that the Mediterranean diet , rich in fruits, vegetables, fish, whole grains, and healthy fats, may reduce the impact of genetic predisposition to dementia. This finding brings a ray of hope, showing that even those with a strong family history of dementia can take preventive steps through better food choices. Let’s explore the details of this fascinating lin...
