Concerns about the health of U.S. President Donald Trump resurfaced on Sunday as a fresh coat of makeup was visible on his right hand. Since last year, bruising has been visible on both his hands. However, the White House has attributed this to excess handshaking and a benign medical condition called 'Chronic Venous Insufficiency'.

It’s a health crisis hiding in plain sight. Millions of people around the world have lost their sense of smell — and many don’t even realize it. Known as anosmia, this often-overlooked condition surged during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, but long-term cases are still going undiagnosed. Scientists warn it impacts more than just your ability to enjoy food — it can signal deeper neurological issues. Could you be living with it and not know?

Cancer deaths rose to 10.4 million and new cases jumped to 18.5 million globally in 2023, an increase of 74 per cent and 105 per cent since 1990, according to a new analysis published in The Lancet.

Shocking findings of a study on a substance administered to treat diseases like malaria show that it turns organs blue. Researchers at University Hospital Frankfurt in Germany were conducting an autopsy on a 72-year-old man when they saw that his brain was blue. They reviewed the medical records at the hospital from 2000 to 2023, looking for 'blue-green,' 'greenish,' or 'turquoise' organs spotted during autopsies. They came across 11 such cases where either methylene blue or toluidine blue had been administered before their deaths. The autopsies showed that the substances had lent the brains, hearts, lungs and pancreas a bluish tinge. Notably, methylene blue is touted by the US health secretary as a "miracle cure-all" and is also used to treat health issues like depression and urinary tract infections.&nbsp;&nbsp;The German researchers found that the tiniest amount was enough to cause this change in colour. The team said that as little as 25 milligrams of the substance altered the brain pigment. They had been administered &nbsp;50 to 200 milligrams intravenously. Further, multiple doses were given to some of them within 10 hours of death. In all cases, the colour of the brain and heart had changed.

Mysterious blue brain stuns researchers. Investigation reveals the culprit has an RFK Jr connection

Doctors in India have reported about the case of a man whose eye was afflicted with a parasitic roundworm, and how the juices from his eye had to be sucked out to remove the worm. The case study was published in the New England Journal of Medicine last week. This particular roundworm usually affects dogs and cats. However, the 35-year-old man became an accidental victim of the roundworm that lives in carnivorous mammal hosts like cats. He had been suffering from blurry vision and a red eye for eight months. When he visited a local ophthalmology clinic, the doctors noticed extensive inflammation in the eye. Closer inspection revealed the culprit - a squiggly worm "moving sluggishly" in the back of the eye. Removing the roundworm proved to be a major task. To gain access to the worm, a pars plana vitrectomy had to be performed. The procedure requires the eye’s internal jelly-like vitreous humor to be sucked out. The worm was finally removed and identified as Gnathostoma spinigerum, a parasitic nematode.Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/trending/new-scare-unlocked-toothbrush-injury-triggers-stroke-and-deadly-infection-risk-in-japanese-man-1753871613046">Toothbrush injury triggers stroke and deadly infection risk in Japanese man</a>&nbsp;<h2>How do roundworms enter human body?</h2>It had caused a condition called ocular gnathostomiasis which can lead to the infected person losing their vision.

A Thai woman thought she was battling weight issues because of her unhealthy eating habits. However, it turned out to be a 8 kg tumour. Ratchanaporn was told that she had a massive ovarian cyst that had been growing for years. She and her family assumed that she was simply overweight because of her bad eating habits, totally oblivious that it was a much bigger problem. The woman finally landed at a hospital due to a sudden health scare, and that's when it was revealed that she had been carrying a large cyst for years. She was operated upon, and the surgery was a success. The tumour was so huge that after it was removed, her weight drastically reduced by 11 kgs. One day, Ratchanaporn started having trouble breathing and was taken to the Satun Hospital in southern Thailand. Doctors ran tests and discovered that a giant 30cm-wide cyst was pressing on her internal organs. The sheer size of the tumour meant an operation would be complicated. It took the doctors six hours to remove the massive tumour.Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/trending/man-dies-after-consuming-nothing-but-beer-for-a-month-following-divorce-1753425374104">Thai man dies after consuming only beer without a morsel of food for a month</a><h2>Thai woman looked like she was ‘pregnant with twins’</h2>The operation on July 31 was a success, and the cyst was removed without causing any complications. The 31-year-old's mother told local media, "My baby was experiencing tightness, difficulty breathing, and bulging eyes. Her stomach looked like she was pregnant with twins." She stated that Ratchanaporn looked extremely big, but they "thought it was because she ate too much. We never imagined it was something this serious." Her body weight came down from 86 kg to 75 kg after the tumour was removed.<h2>Mexican woman discovers 34kg tumour in ovary</h2>In a similar incident, a 24-year-old woman in Mexico was shocked when the doctors told her that she had a humongous 34kg tumour growing in her ovary. The woman was on a diet, but despite that, her weight kept increasing. Scans found an ovarian cyst so large that she could not walk, breathe or eat. It was putting pressure on her other organs, and she was at risk of heart failure. Dr. Erik Hanson Viana at Mexico's General Hospital performed the surgery and removed the cyst whole. It is believed to be the largest tumour ever removed. The doctor later said that the cyst measured half a metre in diameter and the circumference was 157 cm. "'This is the biggest cyst I have operated on, it was so large that it took up 95% of the patient's abdomen," Dr Hanson said. &nbsp;

A Thai woman had been lugging around a 7.5 kg tumour in her ovary for a long time. She appeared overweight to others, and everyone blamed it on her eating too much. Her mother said that one day she had difficulty breathing, and that is when they took her to the hospital.

A Chinese wellness practitioner with no license to practice medicine is injecting bleach into people's tumours. He claims 20 success stories for his treatment that costs $20,000. According to Wired, Chinese "inventor" Xuewu Liu prepares a mix featuring chlorine dioxide, a highly toxic bleach compound, and injects it directly into tumours, claiming it shrinks them. The treatment, which is only available at clinics in China and Germany, is touted by Liu as successful, but a woman has told the publication that it made her illness worse. The woman, who is originally from China but lives in the United Kingdom, reached out to Liu through WhatsApp and got the bleach mix. She administered the supposed treatment herself and says it led to immediate side effects. "It was fine after the injection, but I was woken up by severe pain [like] I had never experienced in my life," the woman said, adding that the pain lasted for three to four days. She stopped it but resumed injecting the tumour a few months later. She then went to China to have Liu do it, despite him not having any medical license.

A woman who smelled her husband's Parkinson's 12 years before it was diagnosed has helped create a new test to detect the condition. Scientists at the University of Manchester joined hands with her after discovering that a person's sebum can be a crucial biomarker to help identify Parkinson's even before the symptoms appear. The test can detect the disease as early as seven years before it starts showing up. The woman named Joy Milne is also now known as "Super Smeller". Using the mass spectrometry technique, researchers discovered that sebum, the oil that is secreted and covers our face, carries distinctive Parkinson’s markers. This provided a breakthrough moment and helped them develop a non-invasive swab test. Being able to predict Parkinson's years in advance can help manage the condition better, even before the symptoms arrive.

The study was conducted on more than 80 people, 46 of whom had Parkinson’s, 28 of whom were healthy and nine with iRBD. At least 55 significant features were found in the sebum.

Joy Milne knew something was wrong when she noticed a change in the way her husband smelled. Twelve years later, he was diagnosed with Parkinson's. She has now helped develop a new Parkinson's test because of her “Super Smeller” tag.

Nightmares are often ignored as just a bad dream. Just like one has happy dreams, the creepy and scary ones are also seen as part of the game. However, a study has now found that nightmares might not just be a one-night thing, but can affect the person having them in the long run. Researchers from the European Academy of Neurology last month said in Helsinki that people who have frequent bad dreams age faster biologically. They said that their bodies underwent more wear and tear and suffered from "significantly accelerated biological ageing" when compared to another person of the same age who did not have nightmares as frequently. Dr Abidemi Otaiku, PhD, a clinical research fellow in the Department of Brain Sciences at Imperial College London, revealed the results that are a part of a health study in the US. A total of &nbsp;2,429 children aged eight to 10 and 183,012 adults aged 26 to 86 participated in the study on nightmares.&nbsp;<h2>Nightmares age you faster</h2>Otaiku noted that adults who had nightmares three or more times a week had a higher chance of dying before the age of 70. Shockingly, the frequency of nightmares emerged to be a stronger predictor of premature death than smoking, obesity, and poor nutrition. Otaiku admitted that "people with nightmares do have a higher number of chronic conditions," but even when these factors were removed, " the link between nightmares and premature death remained significant." Otaiku has been diving into the study of nightmares and their potential impact on our health for a long time. One of his earlier studies found a link between older adults having nightmares and developing Parkinson’s and dementia. Those who reported having nightmares once a week were twice as likely to develop Parkinson’s, and four times as likely to develop dementia in the next decade. In children aged between 7 and 11, frequent nightmares indicated cognitive decline by the age of 50.<h2>Stress hormone and poor sleep quality</h2>Other studies also found similar effects of nightmares on human health, which led Otaiku to carry out an in-depth study into the extent of the link. He wanted to understand whether faster ageing because of nightmares was causing health problems. He found that this was certainly the case, as displayed by the telomeres or the DNA sequences. This is because nightmares seem real to our brains. “Our sleeping brains cannot distinguish dreams from reality. That’s why nightmares often wake us up … because our fight-or-flight response has been triggered. This stress reaction can be even more intense than anything we experience while awake," Otaiku said in a press release. When we have nightmares, our body releases the stress hormone cortisol. Besides this, overnight cellular restoration is also affected because of poor sleep quality.&nbsp;

Frequent nightmares not only disturb your sleep but also affect your health. Bad dreams can impact you in the real world because the brain thinks that everything happening in the nightmare is real. This ages you faster and can lead to several diseases.

A doctor is warning about the dangers of exposing babies to hormone treatments, which many parents are taking these days. Professor Jovanna Dahlgren, an expert in paediatric endocrinology at Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Gothenburg, told a Swedish newspaper about an incident that occurred eight years ago, where a baby girl was exposed to abnormally high levels of testosterone while getting skin-to-skin from her father. The man was using the testosterone gel product, an artificial version of the male sex hormone at the time. The parents got worried when the baby's genitalia started to appear strange. The clitoris grew longer, and her labia closed over to resemble a male scrotum. Doctors carried out blood tests of the 10-month-old baby to understand the problem. They found that problem after which the parents took the needed steps, and the baby's condition reversed.

Notably, the testosterone gel product is used by men who experience lethargy and a low sex drive. "I don't think people always understand how potent these treatments are," she said. The professor cited another case where a 10-year-old boy developed breasts. The doctors found that it was because of the female sex hormone treatment that his mother was taking. In the UK, the testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is seeing a growth, with several private companies reaching out to men.

This led to the body issuing urgent warnings to parents using the products to be careful around children. They were advised to wash their hands properly and prevent children from coming in contact with them. Women using hormone-based medications to treat menopause were also told to keep them away from children and other adults. Testosterone is present in both men and women, but at much lower levels in the latter. The hormone levels drop in some men after the age of 40, something that is also referred to as "manopause." Lack of this hormone in men can lead to depression, loss of sex drive or erectile dysfunction. Poor sleep, brain fog and increased fat around the belly or chest can also be seen in some men.&nbsp; &nbsp;

Passengers are being warned not to wear leggings or tight jeans on the plane because of the health hazards they pose. Leggings are often seen as comfortable clothing on long-haul flights. However, they aren't completely safe if you wear them on the plane. Experts point out the health risks posed by tight clothes on planes. Dr. Hugh Pabarue, a vein specialist with Metro Vein Centers, told the Huffington Post, that certain clothing affects blood circulation. People remain seated for long hours on planes, and if you do so wearing tight clothes, then there is a risk of developing thrombosis.Pabarue said the clothes one wears while flying "can significantly impact our circulation," adding, "tight clothing is not recommended." "Wearing leggings and other restrictive garments such as skinny jeans that are too tight reduces blood’s ability to flow into and out of the legs."

In today’s world, where everyone is becoming health and fitness conscious day by day, people are returning to the traditional diets. One such attraction in a modern-day nutritious diet is Kombucha. In recent years, Kombucha has gained massive popularity and made its way into cafés and supermarkets across the globe. Before you decide whether to add this fizzy, fermented tea-beverage into your diet, let's dive into the know-how's of Kombucha and its potential health benefits.<h2>What is Kombucha?&nbsp;</h2>Kombucha is a naturally fizzy, fermented tea beverage made from bacteria, yeast, sugar and tea. It is produced through fermentation of a sweetened tea with a symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast (SCOBY). It is sour in taste and yellow-orange in colour. Over the time, Kombucha turns into a tangy, carbonated drink rich in friendly probiotic bacteria, organic acids, B vitamins and enzymes.Kombucha's origins can be traced back over 2000 years ago to ancient China, where it was known as "The Tea of Immortality". It later spread to Japan, Russia and Eastern Europe before gaining popularity in the West. The drink has appeal for health-conscious urban Indian consumers as well. According to one estimate provided by Indian company, Sbooch, the Kombucha market grew from $45 million in 2020 to $102 million in 2024 in India.<h2>How Kombucha can benefit you?</h2>People have started seeing Kombucha as an alternative drink to other carbonated and caffeine drinks due to increasing awareness for natural, probiotic beverages. According to some research, the potential health benefits include gut health, improved digestive system, mental health and immunity. However, confirmed benefits of consuming Kombucha tea are still developing.&nbsp; Kombucha provides a rich source of friendly probiotic bacteria, which helps improve the gastrointestinal tract functions. Apart from probiotics, it also provides antioxidants, reduced chronic inflammation and helps in blood sugar control. Additionally, Kombucha is dairy-free, which makes it a good option for vegans and those who are lactose-intolerant. It is important to note that Kombucha contains a small amount of alcohol, preservatives or added sugar that varies from brand to brand. Therefore, it becomes essential to take a look at the label - especially if you are a pregnant woman or avoid alcohol for some reason.<h2>Can you drink it every day?&nbsp;</h2>Yes, it's a good idea to include Kombucha in your everyday diet. The consumption can be limited based on one's health conditions. Kombucha is more than just a drink, it has become a lifestyle symbol, converging traditional diet with modern-day science. So whether you are sipping it for its tangy taste or health benefits, it serves you as a part of a balanced lifestyle.

Health officials in the United Kingdom are asking people to stay away from one particular brand of candy produced under the popular American brand Hershey. The Food Standards Agency has warned that the Jolly Rancher products are "unsafe to eat" as they contain ingredients that could damage DNA and increase the risk of cancer.&nbsp;The body has asked businesses and people not to sell and purchase the sweets. It states that the chemical compounds in Jolly Rancher sweets are "not compliant with UK laws". These include mineral oil aromatic hydrocarbons (MOAH) and mineral oil saturated hydrocarbons (MOSH).&nbsp;The FSA published a food alert on Wednesday evening. The FSA said, "MOAH can cause damage to DNA and has the potential to increase the risk of cancer, particularly if consumed in high quantities over a prolonged period of time." "MOAH is a genotoxic carcinogen; therefore, no exposure is without risk to human health."&nbsp;Notably, MOAH and MOSH are used in candies to avoid stickiness and to give them a glossy effect.&nbsp;It added that there is "no immediate cause for concern, as food safety risk is low".&nbsp;The products in question include Jolly Rancher Hard Candy, Jolly Rancher 'Misfits' Gummies, Jolly Rancher Hard Candy Fruity 2 in 1, and Jolly Rancher Berry Gummies.&nbsp;A spokesperson for Hershey said that safety is their priority while making Jolly Rancher items. However, it was not always possible to guarantee that products produced in the US were compliant with the regulations of another country.&nbsp;They said, "The safety and quality of Jolly Rancher is our first priority, and consumers can rest assured that our products are safe to enjoy."&nbsp;The FSA said that it has been working with Hershey since 2024 to remove the items from circulation in the UK. However, some businesses are still selling them. Consumers have been advised to throw away the above products and reach out to the Trading Standards department or the environmental health department in the local authority. &nbsp;
