Rich nations may eliminate cervical cancer by 2048, progress slow in poor places

High-income countries are on track to eliminate cervical cancer -- preventable through vaccination and screening -- by 2048, while low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) will see only slight reductions over the next century, according to a study published in The Lancet journal. As a result, the gap between regions will widen dramatically, with women in LMICs facing much higher rates of this preventable disease, researchers, including those from CHU de Quebec-Universite Laval Research Center in Canada, said. Almost all cervical cancer cases (99 per cent) are linked to infection with high-risk human papillomaviruses (HPV), an extremely common virus transmitted through sexual contact, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Cervical cancer is largely preventable through HPV vac...

Here’s What We Expect to See at Google I/O 2026

Google I/O is rapidly approaching. Google's big developer conference kicks off May 19 and will be available to stream live for anyone not invited to the keynote in California. While you likely won't get a look at the company's upcoming Pixel products, this presentation will contain a slew of software announcements—though we don't exactly know what Google has up its sleeve. Last year, the company made a number of interesting announcements. We got our first look at Android XR, Google’s platform for smart glasses; AI Mode’s general rollout for Search, following an initial beta period; Gemini Live's official rollout on iPhones; Try it on, a feature that lets you virtually try on clothes; and new AI models across Google's product line. This year will likely feature similar announcements, thoug...

Pune: Rising summer heat triggers surge in kidney stones, UTI

Pune: Rising summer heat triggers surge in kidney stones, UTI

With temperatures rising sharply this summer, doctors in Pune are witnessing a noticeable increase in kidney-related problems, particularly kidney stones and urinary tract infections (UTIs). Experts attribute this surge primarily to dehydration, excessive sweating, and inadequate fluid intake, which are common during the hot months. During summer, the body loses more fluids through sweating. When this loss is not adequately compensated for by increased water intake, urine becomes more concentrated. This creates an ideal environment for minerals and salts to crystallise, leading to the formation of kidney stones. At the same time, reduced hydration and poor hygiene can also increase the risk of urinary infections, especially in women and elderly individuals. “Cases of kidney stones tend to ...

Why drinking a bottle of water after you are thirsty is already too late

The mid-afternoon sun at an IPL thriller or the relentless heat of a six-hour music festival is more than a test of endurance, it is a physiological siege. For most attendees, the ritual is the same: arrive, feel the parched heat, and frantically chug a litre of lukewarm bottled water. According to internal medicine experts, you have already lost the battle. This ‘reactive drinking’ may soothe a dry throat, but it fails to penetrate the cellular level where hydration is actually needed to regulate core temperature. To survive—and enjoy—extreme exposure, one must adopt the strategy of Volumetric Loading: a disciplined, 24-hour physiological prep that builds the body’s water reserves before the first drop of sweat even forms. Internal medicine health experts break down the science of the s...
