Doctors are finally checking if we can stop treating heart infections based on how you actually feel instead of just watching the calendar. Turns out, tailoring antibiotic duration to your recovery works just as well as those old-school marathon courses. It is precision over tradition, and your body will thank you. 🫀 👇 Check it out: NEJM

A 75-year-old woman presents to the physician with a complaint of a frequent need to void at nighttime, which has been disrupting her sleep.

The patient undergoes urodynamic testing and a urinalysis is obtained which is normal. She is instructed by the physician to perform behavioral training to improve her bladder control.

Doctor, my wife had a C-section on October 9. Today, her stomach looks as if she is five months pregnant. Why is her belly still swollen like this?

    It is normal for the abdomen to remain enlarged for several weeks after a C-section. The uterus takes about six weeks to shrink back to its pre-pregnancy size, a process known as involution. Additionally, the abdominal muscles often stretch or separate during pregnancy, which is called diastasis recti, and this can contribute to a protruding appearance. Other factors include post-operative gas, fluid retention, and the natural fat stores gained during pregnancy. If she experiences severe pain, fever, or worsening redness at the incision site, you should contact her healthcare provider for an evaluation.

That common pesticide in your shed might be a bit too good at its job. New research links it to 2.5 times the risk of Parkinson’s disease. It’s a scary reminder that what kills bugs isn't exactly a health tonic for us. Time to give those veggies a serious scrub! 🍎🧠 👇 Check it out: ScienceDaily

A 26-year-old woman, G1P0, at 22 weeks of gestation presents to the clinic for a prenatal visit. Her recent pregnancy scan shows a single live intrauterine fetus with adequate fetal movements. Facial appearance shows the presence of a cleft lip. The rest of the fetal development is within normal limits. The fetal heart rate is 138/min. Her prenatal screening tests for maternal serum α-fetoprotein (MSAFP) concentration, pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A), and free β-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) are within normal ranges respectively. Her past medical and surgical histories are negative. She is worried about the health of her baby. The baby is at increased risk for which of the following birth defects?
