A urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection anywhere along the urinary system — typically the bladder. It’s usually characterized by burning during urination, pelvic pressure, an urgent need to urinate and cloudy or strong-smelling urine. But when those symptoms are absent, and doctors still prescribe antibiotics, the consequences are often serious. Antibiotics disrupt the gut microbiome, leave patients vulnerable to new infections like C. diff and accelerate the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Older adults are especially at risk of misdiagnosed UTIs, but anyone can be affected by this misdiagnosis epidemic. Doctors Rely Too Heavily on Urine Tests and Miss…

MANILA, Philippines — “Heavy online operations” were boosting the chances of senatorial bets aligned with former President Rodrigo Duterte and “focusing on issues” were likewise helping independent candidates Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan and Paolo Benigno “Bam” Aquino IV. This was according to Arjan Aguirre, a political science assistant professor at the Ateneo de Manila University, in a statement on Saturday. This came after pollster Pulse Asia showed pro-Duterte bets actor Philip Salvador and SAGIP party-list Rep. Rodante Marcoleta as well as Katipunan ng Nagkakaisang Pilipino candidate Bam Aquino cracking the “Magic 12” in its March 23-29 survey. Article continues after this…

Image by Luca Onniboni of Unsplash Typewriters clicking in a modern coffee shop may seem like a contradiction. But lately, you might find a young adult sipping an iced oat milk latte while pounding away on a vintage Smith-Corona. At first glance, it feels like performance art or another Instagram aesthetic. But dig a little deeper, and you’ll find something more meaningful—something that says a lot about Gen Z’s relationship with technology, identity, and creativity. The return of the typewriter isn’t just quirky nostalgia. It’s a quiet rebellion against constant connectivity and an embrace of slower, more intentional living. So…

Tom Brady was a sixth-round pick in 2000. Marshal Yanda was a third-round pick in 2007. Frank Gore was a third-round pick in 2010. Jason Kelce was a sixth-round pick in 2011. Jason’s brother Travis was a third-round pick in 2013. Richard Sherman was a fifth-round pick in 2011. Fred Warner was a third-round pick in 2018. On and on it goes. We never really know how…

For countless women, the word “menopause” is associated with the phrase “low estrogen.” This is the narrative many have been told, the explanation offered when hot flashes strike, sleep becomes elusive or moods swing unpredictably. Conventional medicine largely operates on this premise, with hormone replacement therapy (HRT) frequently prescribed to replenish what is believed to be lost — estrogen. But what if this long-accepted understanding of menopause isn’t the complete picture? Research is increasingly questioning the singular focus on estrogen deficiency, suggesting instead a more nuanced reality. Studies indicate that estrogen levels in menopausal women aren’t plummeting across the board.…

On Friday, China’s General Administration of Customs implemented a new rule that determines the country of origin for semiconductor products based on the location of wafer fabrication — not where the chips are designed, developed, or packaged. What Happened: As a result of this development, chips designed by U.S.-based companies like Nvidia Corporation NVDA, Advanced Micro Devices AMD, and Qualcomm Inc. QCOM but manufactured by foundries in Taiwan, such as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufactoring Co. Ltd TSM and United Microelectronics Corporation UMC, will be exempt from China’s 125% retaliatory tariffs on U.S. imports, reported Tom’s Hardware. However, this rule delivers a…
