Study Finds Hepatitis C Drugs May Help Alleviate Symptoms of PTSD

Around 1 in 11 people will be diagnosed with the condition within their lifetime, with women being two times more likely to develop PTSD than men.

Researchers Find Link Between Steroidal Allergy Treatments, Decreased Brain Function

Pharmaceutical medications may have allowed us to beat innumerable diseases and significantly increase our lifetimes, but they are not without risk. One chief complaint about most pharmaceuticals is that while they are often effective at mitigating the diseases they are deployed against, they often cause unwanted side effects.

According to a previous study by the Federal Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, an estimated 4.5 million patients visit emergency rooms or doctors’ offices each year due to adverse drug effects.

Accessibility Issues Prevent Individuals in Rural Areas from Undergoing Lifesaving Tumor Treatment

Tumors remain one of the deadliest diseases in the world, accounting for around one in six deaths globally in 2020.

However, people who live in rural areas have limited access to cancer treatments that could save their lives, highlighting a startling inequality in access to lifesaving cancer treatments. For starters, some cancer patients have had their tumors completely eradicated after undergoing Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR T-cell) therapy. However, patients who reside…
