Iron-deficiency anemia is one of the most common nutritional disorders during pregnancy, resulting from insufficient iron to support maternal erythropoiesis and fetal development. To prevent it, routine iron supplementation is widely implemented in obstetric protocols. However, this uniform approach has limitations. It overlook...

Long regarded as one of the most aggressive cancers, pancreatic cancer remains associated with high mortality despite therapeutic advances. At what is considered an “early” stage, surgery has historically been proposed as first-line treatment with curative intent. However, a study conducted at the Mayo Clinic suggests th...

Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) affects approximately 1–2% of women of reproductive age and represents a major issue in gynecology and obstetrics. It is defined as the occurrence of at least two consecutive pregnancy losses before 20 weeks of gestation. Although certain causes have been identified (chromosomal abnormalitie...

As HCPs, most of us will, at some point in our careers, encounter families facing one of the most devastating situations imaginable: an advanced childhood cancer diagnosis.
Understanding how families experience prognostic conversations is crucial. The study “We’re going to get through this together” offers a...

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common cancer in children, accounting for approximately 80% of pediatric leukemias. It is characterized by the massive proliferation of immature lymphoblasts in the bone marrow, disrupting normal hematopoiesis and leading to potentially fatal complications without prompt treatm...

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) remains a major concern in sports cardiology because it is among the leading causes of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in young competitive athletes. In a large US registry of 1,866 athlete deaths, HCM accounted for nearly 40% of cases, most occurring in adolescents still in high...
