Researchers at the Cleveland Clinic are reporting encouraging early results from a clinical trial of a preventative breast cancer vaccine. In the first phase of testing, about three-quarters of participants who received the vaccine developed an immune response. While more research is needed, scientists hope the vaccine could one day help reduce the risk of breast cancer recurrence, or even prevent the disease altogether.
Meanwhile, sinus pain and congestion remain common complaints year-round. Allergies, colds, and viral infections are frequent causes. Doctors recommend starting with over-the-counter treatments such as decongestants, nasal sprays, and anti-inflammatory medications. Home remedies like neti-pots, humidifiers, and hot showers may also help open nasal passages. If symptoms persist, medical experts advise scheduling a visit with a healthcare provider.
Another growing health concern involves bedtime habits. Many people delay sleep by scrolling on their phones, a behavior known as “revenge bedtime procrastination.” The term refers to reclaiming personal time late at night, often through social media or endless browsing. However, doctors warn this habit can interfere with sleep quality and lead to insomnia. Experts recommend putting phones away well before bedtime to promote healthier sleep.
