Millions of young people could miss out on effective treatments because so few take part in medical research, new data shows. The Guardian’s analysis found that 18- to 24-year-olds make up 8% of England’s population but only 4.4% of research participants, leaving Gen Z underrepresented in clinical trials. Experts warn this could make future treatments less safe or effective for younger patients. “Young people face unique health challenges shaped by life transitions and inequalities,” said Kirsty Blenkins of the Association for Young People’s Health. “If research excludes them, treatments may not meet their needs.” Barriers include low awareness, limited recruitment…

A victory shaped by courage and control This was no fortunate escape like last December’s win at Manchester City. Amorim’s side started with purpose and poise. Bryan Mbeumo struck early, setting…

A new “smart jab” has shown highly promising results in shrinking head and neck cancer tumours within weeks, offering new hope to patients with few remaining treatment options. The drug, amivantamab, works through a triple-action mechanism and can be delivered as a simple injection under the skin — a significant step forward from conventional treatments that require lengthy hospital infusions. Results from the Orig-AMI 4 trial, presented at the European Society for Medical Oncology conference in Berlin, revealed that 76% of patients with recurrent or metastatic head and neck cancer saw their tumours shrink or stop growing after receiving the…

By Rachel Maddow | The Mundo PostAdapted from an interview originally published by the Abu Dhabi Times A widening international lawsuit against UBS Group AG is bringing renewed scrutiny to Switzerland’s wartime banking legacy.

Stability Returns After Prolonged DownturnEurope’s vehicle market is showing signs of balance after several years of turbulence. Recent data from the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA) reveal that new car registrations across the European Union have held steady in 2025, suggesting that the sharp declines of previous years may have ended.

Electric vehicles are at the forefront of the rebound, now making up about 20% of all new sales, supported by government purchase incentives and infrastructure upgrades across major EU markets. Chinese Automakers Broaden…
