Bariatric Fusion Vitamins Pulled for Missing Child-Safe Caps

MONDAY, Sept. 15, 2025 (HealthDay News) — About 4,700 bottles of Bariatric Fusion iron-containing multivitamins have been recalled because packaging does not meet federal safety standards, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).

Smoking raises the risk of all subtypes of type 2 diabetes

The characteristics of type 2 diabetes vary from patient to patient and it has been proposed that the condition is made up of four subtypes. Now, new research being presented at the annual meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) in Vienna, Austria (15-19 September) shows that smoking increases the risk of the condition, regardless of subtype. The researchers in Sweden, Norway and Finland also found that people with a genetic susceptibility to develop diabetes seem more vulnerable to the adverse effects of smoking. It has previously been suggested that type 2 diabetes (T2D) can be divided into the following subtypes: SIRD (severe insulin-resistant diabetes), characterised by insulin resistance (where the body’s cells don’t respond to properly to insulin and can’t easily take up glucose from the blood); SIDD (severe insulin-deficient diabetes), characterised by a lack of insulin; MOD (mild obesity-related diabetes), associated with obesity and ...

Types, Triggers And New Treatments

SUNDAY, Sept. 14, 2025 (HealthDay News) — Everyone gets headaches, but not all headaches are the same. For some, they’re a quick inconvenience. For others, they can be intense, long-lasting and even disabling, disrupting daily life for days or weeks. Experts say finding the right treatment depends on identifying the type of headache and understanding what triggers it. “We define chronic headache as having more than 15 headache days per month. So, more days with headache than not,” Michael Oshinsky, a pain expert at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), told its monthly newsletter News In Health. The most common kind is a tension-type headache, often linked to stress, lack of sleep, dehydration or poor posture. Pain usually feels mild to moderate and affects both sides of the head. Migraines are another frequent cause of disabling pain. Unlike tension headaches, migraines are a complex brain condition that can cause: Severe ...

“Pharma leader ” changes! Hengrui Medicine, don’t panic

Recently, Hengrui Medicine lost its position as the “No. 1 pharmaceutical company”. In the pharmaceutical industry, BeiGene’s transcendence sends a signal. For a long time in the past, Hengrui Medicine was the undisputed leader in the pharmaceutical industry. Relying on the model of “imitation + innovation”, Hengrui has been leading the entire industry, and many of its core products once occupied half of the domestic pharmaceutical market. As early as 2021, Hengrui Medicine’s stock price continued to rise after a series of sharp increases, reaching a high of 96.7 yuan per share, and its total market value reached an astonishing 616.9 billion yuan.However, the turning point also occurred in 2021.

In terms of performance, from 2021 to 2023, Hengrui Medicine’s revenue growth rate was ...
