As described in IEEE Spectrum, Cheryl’s husband, Tom, has a rare genetic disease that causes ammonia to accumulate in his blood. At an emergency room visit two decades ago, Cheryl told the doctors Tom needed an immediate dose of lactulose to avoid going into a coma, but they refused to medicate him until his primary doctor confirmed his medical condition hours later.

‘KPop Demon Hunters’ and ‘Expedition 33’ Are Having a Moment

Have you watched KPop Demon Hunters on Netflix or played Clair Obscur: Expedition 33? Chances are the answer is ‘yes,’ and if not, you’ve certainly heard of them: both were released earlier this year to fairly glowing reviews (if not outright critical acclaim) and performed very well commercially. The latter, a turn-based RPG from newcomer Sandfall Interactive, will likely pick up some awards at year’s end, while Netflix is planning to go all in on KPop. Along with talks of sequels and an ever-

Feds Launch Experiment to Have Medicare Cover GLP-1 Weight Loss Drugs

The federal government may not have closed the window on paying for GLP-1 weight loss drugs like Ozempic and Zepbound after all.

Trump administration's digital health tracking system gives tech giants access to medical records

Forward-looking: The Trump administration wants the US public to upload personal health data and medical records to a series of apps and systems managed by private health companies and tech giants.

During an event announcing the initiative yesterday, Pres

YouTube will be included in Australia's social media ban for children after all

YouTube will be included in Australia's social media ban for children under 16, as reported by Bloomberg . The country's Labor government said that the site will be subject to the same rules as other leading platforms like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and X when the legislation goes into effect this December. Australia had planned to exempt YouTube from the forthcoming social media ban, on the grounds that it's an educational tool. This irked other platforms, with Meta and TikTok urging the coun
