Skin cancer has surged worldwide in older adults in last 30 years: Study

There has been a sharp uptick in the burden of skin cancer, especially in older adults, in the last three decades, according to a study. Besides ageing, researchers at the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University in China attributed the surge to the increase in population growth. The study also cited a disproportionately higher burden of skin cancers in countries with higher sociodemographic index (SDI) levels. “The older population (particularly male individuals and those living in high-SDI countries) is facing a substantial growing burden of skin cancer,” said the team in the paper published in JAMA Dermatology. “The results highlight the urgency for more effective prevention and management strategies targeting high-risk groups,” they added. In the study, researcher...

Tamannaah Bhatia says her show Daring Partners is more than just brewing beer

Back from the breezy hills of Ooty to the buzz of Mumbai, Tamannaah Bhatia says she missed the high-paced energy of the city. The actor, who has spent her two decade career navigating the evolving landscape of Indian showbiz, shares that she is currently in the happiest phase of her life, thanks to the kind of opportunities coming her way. One that she is most looking forward to is the Netflix series, Daring Partners, alongside Diana Penty, Jaaved Jaaferi, and Nakuul Mehta. The series follows two best friends who venture into a partnership for an alcohol start-up while navigating challenges and breaking barriers in a male-dominated industry.

NIT Rourkela researchers develop biosensor that can detect breast cancer cells

Researchers at the National Institute of Technology (NIT) Rourkela have designed a novel semiconductor device-based biosensor that can identify breast cancer cells without the need for complicated or expensive laboratory procedures. The device ‘TFET’ (Tunnel Field Effect Transistor) is based on TCAD (Technology Computer-Aided Design) simulation results, that can effectively detect breast cancer cells. FETs are commonly used in electronics, but here they have been adapted to function as a sensitive detector of biological materials. Unlike many traditional tests, this biosensor does not need any added chemicals or labels to work. It uses the physical properties of cancer cells to detect them. Cancerous breast tissues, which hold more water and are denser than healthy tissues, interact d...

World Thyroid Day 2025: 5 thyroid issues men often overlook

When we think of thyroid disorders, Dr Piyush Lodha, we often associate them with women. However, there is more to the issues than meet the eye. While the Pune-based endocrinologist says it’s true that women are more likely to be diagnosed, men are not immune. He shares, “Thyroid issues in men are less commonly recognised. They are often misdiagnosed or completely overlooked—sometimes until serious complications arise.” The thyroid is a small butterfly-shaped gland in the neck that plays a crucial role in regulating metabolism, energy, mood, and overall well-being. Every year, World Thyroid Day is observed on May 25 to particularly raise awareness about thyroid disorders and encourage individuals to take care of their health. The theme for 2025 is “Thyroid Disease and Artificial Intelligen...

The Liberals promised a suite of crime measures. Here’s what they’re taking on – National

After an election which saw the Conservatives campaign heavily on crime while the Liberals promised stricter measures for offences like violent car thefts, the new minority Liberal government has a stack of new crime policies to implement. Lisa Kerr, an associate professor at the Queen’s University law school, said the proposals are “all, generally speaking, in the direction of being tougher on crime, but in ways that are targeted to more serious offenders.”She said they will “likely still preserve discretion for Crown prosecutors and judges to respond in appropriate ways to individual cases.”The proposals include tougher bail and sentencing guidelines for some crimes, and the creation of new criminal offences involving intimidation at schools and places of worship, as well as online sexpl...

Google’s Co-Founder Says AI Performs Best When You Threaten It

Artificial intelligence continues to be the thing in tech—whether consumers are interested or not. What strikes me most about generative AI isn't its features or potential to make my life easier (a potential I have yet to realize); rather, I'm focused these days on the many threats that seem to be rising from this technology. There's misinformation, for sure—new AI video models, for example, are creating realistic clips complete with lip-synced audio. But there's also the classic AI threat, that the technology becomes both more intelligent than us and self-aware, and chooses to use that general intelligence in a way that does not benefit humanity. Even as he pours resources into his own AI company (not to mention the current administration, as well) Elon Musk sees a 10 to 20% chance that A...
