The health condition PCOS has been renamed to PMOS; here`s all you need to know

A hormonal condition affecting 1 in 8 women around the world just got a new name in hopes of improving care. It Is now called polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome instead of polycystic ovary syndrome. Researchers and supporters of the change said the old name, often shortened to PCOS, is inaccurate. It reduced a complex hormonal or endocrine disorder to a misunderstanding about cysts and a focus on ovaries, contributing to missed diagnoses and inadequate treatment, said the Endocrine Society, a global group of physicians and scientists. “The thought behind that is that one, there’s no cysts in the ovary, so it’s very confusing,” said Dr. Melanie Cree, one of the authors of the Lancet article and a pediatric endocrinology expert at the University of Colorado Anschutz. “The hope was th...

New Smart Bands Are Coming, and Whoop Is Scared

We may earn a commission from links on this page. I flagged smart bands as one of the tech trends of 2026, based on what I was seeing, so it’s interesting to watch the rollout of the Fitbit Air and the buzz around the (still unconfirmed) Garmin Cirqa. Whoop, which has long been the undisputed leader in this area, now has a ton of competition. Here’s what I see going on, and what I think we should expect going forward.  Fitness trackers have reached the end of their evolution, and their universe is rebootingTo explain how we got here, I’m going to take you through a little history lesson with the theme of: What do we expect a fitness tracker to be? Fitbit has been working on this question for over 15 years, beginning with simple digital pedometers that clipped to your ...

Increase daily steps to 8,500 and keep weight off after dieting: Study

Doing around 8,500 steps a day can help people keep weight off after dieting, according to new research.  To be presented at the ‘European Congress on Obesity’ (ECO 2026) in Istanbul, Turkey, from May 12-15, the study showed that there was a clear link between increasing step count and preventing weight regain.  Specifically, it was important to increase step count during the weight loss phase and maintain this increase during the weight maintenance phase. Patients who did so regained less weight, said the study published in International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health. “The most important – and greatest – challenge when treating obesity is preventing weight regain,” explains Professor Marwan El Ghoch from University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, Modena, Italy. Arou...

Apple Just Made Texting Between iPhone and Android Secure

Perhaps the best thing to happen to smartphones in the past five years was Apple's decision to start supporting RCS. Ever since, texting between iPhone and Android hasn't been a nightmare caused by SMS: Group chats function as they should, photos and videos can be sent in high quality, and you can even see when the other person is typing—though the messages are still green. While the experience is miles better than it used to be, it isn't perfect. There are still some key functions missing from RCS on iPhone. For instance, you can't unsend messages, reply to a thread, or edit iPhone messages. The latter can only happen on the Android side, while only iPhones can react with emojis right now. The biggest omission, however, is support for end-to-end encryption (E2EE). This is arguably the mos...

Sai Tamhankar thinks her character is bold and impossible to ignore

Bold, independent and unafraid to speak her mind, the character of Barkha from Matka King instantly struck a chord with Sai Tamhankar. Add filmmaker Nagraj Manjule to the mix, and it became an experience she deeply cherished. “Looking at our history, if a female artiste is given somebody’s wife’s role, we make the general assumption that she will be ornamental. When I read [the script], I thought a female, standing up for herself and exercising her voice was very interesting,” shares the actor. “I think this is boldness for me — exercising your independence and putting out your voice. I like such women. It’s a big deal in that era. So, I was happy to play the character because she has her own journey.” Source link
