Scientists have achieved a historic medical breakthrough by successfully curing a form of blood cancer that was long considered incurable. Researchers from University College London and Great Ormond Street Hospital have used a revolutionary technology known as DNA base editing to treat T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, a rare and aggressive cancer that primarily affects children and young adults. This marks the first time base-edited cells have been used in humans to achieve long-term can

Kidney disease often develops silently, which makes the earliest symptoms easy to miss. Because kidneys filter waste, balance body fluids, control blood pressure, and support red blood cell production, even slight damage can affect the body in several subtle ways. Recognising these early clues helps diagnose kidney problems before they become severe or irreversible. Many people dismiss these signs as stress, dehydration, lifestyle issues, or temporary sickness, when in reality, they indicate

The White House on Monday released a detailed medical summary describing former United States president Donald Trump’s cardiovascular and abdominal health as “excellent,” following the MRI scans conducted during his unannounced hospital visit in October. The visit had fueled public speculation at the time, prompting questions about his medical condition. The newly issued assessment, however, indicates that the 78-year-old remains in stable and strong physical health, according to the physician overseeing his examination.
White House physician Sean Barbabella stated in a memo that all major findings from Trump’s advanced imaging were normal. Barbabella noted that the MRI results showed no signs of arterial narrowing, inflammation, clotting, or structural abnormalities in the heart. He added that the heart chambers appeared appropriately sized and that the vessels demonstrated smooth and healthy walls. According to the memo, these indicators collectively suggest that Trump’s cardiovascular system is functioning at an optimal level for someone in his age group.
The physician further explained that abdominal imaging also revealed no concerns. The scans showed that all major organs were well-perfused and operating within expected parameters, with no signs of acute or chronic issues. Barbabella emphasized that each component of the abdominal exam reflected a normal and healthy profile, reinforcing the overall positive outlook on Trump’s medical condition.
The former president briefly addressed the topic while speaking to reporters during his trip from his Mar-a-Lago residence to Washington. He expressed no hesitation about making the health information public, stating that he was willing to release the full set of findings from his examination at Walter Reed National Military Medical Centre. His remarks aligned with the administration’s decision to disclose the memo, which summarizes the extensive evaluation conducted as part of his executive physical.
According to the detailed report, Trump underwent advanced imaging because preventive screening is recommended for men in his age category, particularly when assessing long-term cardiovascular and abdominal health. The objective of these tests, the memo explained, is to detect potential issues early and to confirm the overall condition of vital organs. The memo concluded that the review shows no abnormalities and affirms that Trump continues to maintain excellent overall health.
The administration stated that the results presented reflect a standard level of scrutiny for an executive physical and that the findings confirm the former president’s capacity to sustain regular activity without medical concern. The report also highlighted that the imaging contributes to a broader understanding of his health status, reinforcing confidence in his long-term vitality and functional ability.
