First Successful Human Bladder Transplant
On May 4th, UCLA surgeons successfully performed the first human bladder transplant on a 41-year-old patient who had lost most of his bladder due to a rare tumor and both kidneys to a previous renal cell carcinoma; the eight-hour procedure involved a simultaneous kidney transplant and a novel surgic...

Sleep Disturbances Significantly Increase Dementia Risk
Studies reveal a strong correlation between sleep disturbances (insomnia, sleep apnea) and increased dementia risk, with disrupted sleep in midlife linked to lower cognitive scores a decade later; deep sleep flushes out amyloid proteins, while REM sleep is crucial for memory processing, both impacti...

Dinosaur Mass Grave Reveals Catastrophic Flash Flood
Thousands of Pachyrhinosaurus fossils were discovered in a mass grave at Pipestone Creek in Alberta, Canada, suggesting a flash flood killed a migrating herd 72 million years ago during the Late Cretaceous period.
