Recurring abdominal pain, bloating, and indigestion can be linked to gallstones

There has been a noticeable rise in the number of people being diagnosed with gallstones, with many patients seeking medical help only after developing severe abdominal pain or other complications. Unhealthy eating habits, obesity, a sedentary lifestyle, rapid weight loss, diabetes, and increasing age are among the factors contributing to the growing burden of gallstone disease. Experts advise people not to ignore recurring stomach pain, bloating, or indigestion, as early diagnosis can prevent serious health problems and avoid emergency surgery. Gallstones are hard deposits that form inside the gallbladder, a small organ located below the liver that stores bile, a digestive fluid. While many gallstones remain silent and do not cause symptoms, they can become dangerous if they block the bi...

Europe's hospitals brace for next heatwave after hard lessons from latest crisis

Ice. Urgently and in large quantities. At a Paris-region hospital, emergency medics needed it to plunge patients into cold-water baths to speedily bring down their temperatures so they wouldn't join the growing tally of dead from a record-smashing heatwave. But lacking an ice-making machine, where to get it?  A fast-food restaurant helped out last week, saying the hospital could take its ice. Staff also bought ice from the supermarket. The Paris-Saclay Hospital has now ordered its own ice machine, eagerly awaited in the emergency department for a future attack of sizzling heat. Whether that hits next week, as France's weather service says it might, or in summer months ahead, medics and hospital administrators are acutely aware that the battle they've just endured will, because of climate...

World Chocolate Day: Can dark chocolate improve mood? Health experts reveal more

Few foods enjoy the emotional status that chocolate does. It appears during celebrations, marks special occasions, offers comfort after difficult days, and has become almost universally associated with pleasure. But behind chocolate’s feel-good reputation lies a more intriguing scientific question: why does eating chocolate seem to make people feel better? For years, researchers have explored whether the ‘chocolate happiness effect’ is purely emotional or whether something measurable happens inside the brain. Today, emerging evidence suggests that dark chocolate occupies an unusual space where biology and psychology overlap. It does not simply satisfy a craving, but engages taste, memory, reward pathways, circulation, and chemical messengers that together shape how people experience pleas...
