Fact-checkers found the White House's drug pricing victory lap at the Republican midterm convention overstated its impact. Prescription drug prices did fall 0.9% in July and 3.1% year-over-year — the steepest drop since 1963 — but experts attribute much of that to Medicare negotiation authority and generic/biosimilar competition, not the administration's policies. The CPI figures also reflect pharmacy acquisition costs rather than what patients actually pay.

Digital allergy forecasts have become a staple for millions of seasonal allergy sufferers, yet their predictive accuracy often lags behind physical pollen measurements. As the Health IT sector integrates more environmental data into patient care, the lack of standardized validation for these proprietary algorithms poses a challenge for clinical reliability.

A prespecified analysis of the large-scale COSMOS trial has found that daily multivitamin-multimineral supplementation significantly slows markers of biological aging in older adults. The study provides robust clinical evidence that standard nutritional interventions can influence cellular longevity and epigenetic health beyond simple deficiency prevention.
A prespecified analysis of the COSMOS trial reveals that daily multivitamin-multimineral supplements significantly slow markers of biological aging in older adults. The findings provide clinical weight to the use of common supplements as a low-cost intervention for extending biological healthspan.
