Childhood Food Allergies: Which Ones Disappear?
Childhood food allergies, most commonly to milk and eggs, frequently resolve by adulthood; however, allergies to peanuts, tree nuts, sesame, fish, and shellfish typically persist. Diagnosis requires professional assessment, and self-testing is dangerous.

Brain Stimulation Shows Promise for Treating Anxiety in Parkinson's Disease
A study of 33 Parkinson's patients undergoing deep brain stimulation surgery revealed a strong link between theta brain waves in the basal ganglia and anxiety levels, suggesting DBS could be adapted to treat anxiety, a major unmet need in Parkinson's disease affecting roughly one in three patients.

UK Breast Cancer Deaths Projected to Soar by 42% by 2050
A World Health Organization study projects a 42 percent increase in UK breast cancer deaths by 2050, reaching 17,261, due to an aging population, unhealthy lifestyles, and mortality rates exceeding those in countries like the US and Sweden despite lower incidence rates.
