Resident doctors and interns at the Children's Medical Center have been pooling their own money with some donations to organise activities for the children suffering from underlying health conditions.

The condition, called recessive RNU2-2-related neurodevelopmental disorder, is associated with seizures and severe developmental delay in children less than a year-old, in areas such as speech and walking.

The funds raised through Visionaries of the Year are used for research to advance lifesaving therapies like immunotherapy, genomics and personalized medicine, which are saving lives today.

There is a piece of advice given to doctors in moments like this: Check your own pulse. Each person in the room has a role, and we perform it best with steady hands and measured voices.

Rare Ireland does not receive any grants or funding from government agencies and it relies entirely on funds raised and the generosity of donors. Getting access to therapies is always going to be a challenge. The money raised through this fundraising event will go on various therapies from speech therapy to equine therapy to play therapy.

It is really, really hard. He said the family had 'cried and begged for help' in meetings at home. 'Does our family unit have to break down? Does it have to get to a point where we no longer sustain this and then they'll step in and give you support? Because right now that's where we're at. We don't have any alternatives. If grandparents were an option, we'd already be doing it.'

I just didn't know what to do. My mom was a single mom, and we didn't know anything about financial aid or applications. We were kind of lost.

Rady Children's Hospital stopped providing such care on February 6 in response to the current presidential administration's threats to end federal funding to medical institutions that offer gender-affirming healthcare. Superior Court Judge Matthew Braner said the case involved "an extraordinarily thorny issue" that placed the hospital "between a rock and a hard place," but said that ending the care would place the hospital's 1,900 trans youth patients under "a risk of relative degrees of harm," Voice of San Diego reported.

"Hello, how are you doing? Good to see you," says Honor Cousens, as she pushes a trolley loaded with cold drinks, sweets, biscuits, toiletries, newspapers and magazines. The volunteer at the Royal London Hospital is a familiar face on the wards, and has been supporting staff and patients for many years. She is part of the Friends of the Royal London Hospital, a charity that has been running at the Whitechapel site since 1979.

Pretti was trying to help a woman whom federal agents shoved violently to the ground. A fellow ICE observer, the woman flew a few feet through the air and landed hard; it had to hurt. "Are you OK?" Pretti asked her, according to bystanders. Those were his last known words. He kept trying to help the woman, and the agents kept trying to stop him, finally shooting him in the head at close range, execution-style, and then at least nine more times.

As the Magerstadt Professor of Cardiovascular Epidemiology, Khan studies the epidemiology of risk for heart failure. Using population-based cohorts and large electronic health record data analyses, she performs mechanistic studies that may enhance risk prediction and identify novel therapeutic agents for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease. Khan and her team have developed a tool to predict risk and prevent cardiovascular disease such as heart failure, stroke, arrhythmia, coronary artery disease and many other conditions.

NYC Health + Hospitals announced that three of its acute care hospitals have been named as recipients of the Level 2 Special Pathogen Treatment and Network Development (STAND) Award from the National Special Pathogen System (NSPS) on Thursday, Jan. 15. The three locations to earn this award were NYC Health + Hospitals/Elmhurst in Queens, NYC Health + Hospitals/Jacobi in the Bronx and NYC Health + Hospitals/Harlem in Manhattan.

On Tuesday, February 10, 2026, medical professionals from Washingtonian 's 2025 Top Doctors list gathered with colleagues and friends to celebrate their dedication to the DMV community. The annual list recognizes many of the Washington area's top physicians, as selected by their peers. This year's lively cocktail reception, held at Barbouzard, featured French Mediterranean bites, cocktails, and a live DJ from Mixing Maryland, who kept the energy high throughout the evening.

But these studies typically require large numbers of patients, huge amounts of data, and thorough follow-ups, none of which comes easy or free. The upshot is fewer investigations into scenarios that are clinically important but unlikely to yield a profit for the firms funding them. Accordingly, researchers have been developing an option that uses real-world data from insurers to save patients from falling through the cracks.

Rebecca said her daughter was seven when she was diagnosed with Kawasaki disease, a condition she had "only ever heard of" from a Grey's Anatomy episode. Winifred received intravenous immunoglobulin which was made from donated plasma. Now aged nine, she has recovered and only needs regular check-ups. Since her daughter's illness, Rebecca has donated plasma herself and also wants to raise awareness of the disease which causes inflammation in blood vessels and can damage the heart if left untreated.

RSV season in the U.S. typically peaks in January and February, with cases often stretching well into March. National emergency room visits and hospitalizations from the virus in kids ages four and younger have dipped slightly but are growing overall in more than a dozen states, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's latest report on January 16.

It arose out of safety concerns in 2022 in relation to the treatment of a number of patients with Spina Bifida who had spinal surgery at CHI at Temple Street. These concerns related to poor clinical outcomes of some complex spinal surgery, including a high incidence of post-operative complications and infections, and two particularly serious surgical incidents, which occurred in July and September 2022.

The doctor treated hundreds of children from 2017 to 2022 at Great Ormond Street Hospital (Gosh) in London, with independent experts saying in a new review that his surgery fell well below the level expected in several areas. Many patients came to harm or were left in pain, with some going on to need further surgery. Proper consent was also not obtained in some cases, while Mr Jabbar also had an "unjustified preference for certain surgical techniques including unconventional or unrecognised procedures".

AI plays an important role-but not by fixing fragmented data on its own. The work of organizing, connecting, and interpreting healthcare information still belongs to people and the systems they build. Where AI helps is after that foundation is in place: by bringing the right information forward at the right time, reducing the effort it takes to find what matters, and supporting better decisions in the moment of care.
