New options for testing and treating some of the most common sexually transmitted diseases are becoming available. In the past year, U.S. health officials approved new home-based tests that can detect common infections like gonorrhea, chlamydia and HPV. The Food and Drug Administration also approved two new drugs for gonorrhea, the first new options in decades. Experts hope the trend toward access and convenience will keep downward pressure on infection rates. Cases of sexually transmitted diseases have been falling for several years after spiking during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Rev. Jesse Jackson's family says that the civil rights leader has been released from a hospital where he was treated for a rare neurological disorder. Yusef Jackson said Tuesday that his father was discharged from Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago. The 84-year-old Jackson is an internationally known civil rights leader and two-time presidential candidate. He was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2013. That diagnosis was changed last spring to progressive supranuclear palsy, or PSP. While hospitalized, Jackson's visitors included former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. Yusef Jackson thanked friends and supporters who are praying for the Rev. Jackson.
“My year of unraveling” is how a despairing Christy Morrill described nightmarish months when his immune system hijacked his brain.
It's one of medicine's biggest mysteries — why sometimes our immune system attacks our own bodies. Autoimmune diseases affect as many as 50 million Americans and millions more worldwide. They're hard to diagnose and treat, and they're on the rise. A Massachusetts woman's journey with one named lupus — called the disease of 1,000 faces for its baffling variety of symptoms — offers a snapshot of the burden. Now researchers are decoding the biology behind these debilitating diseases in hopes of eventually treating the causes, not just the symptoms.
The Rev. Jesse Jackson is in the hospital with a rare neurological disorder. Jackson's Chicago-based civil rights organization says the 84-year-old has progressive supranuclear palsy and is under observation. Jackson has suffered from symptoms consistent with Parkinson's disease and disclosed a diagnosis in 2017. But during a Mayo Clinic visit in April, doctors confirmed a diagnosis of PSP, which can have similar symptoms to Parkinson's. He has continued to make public appearances including at last year's Democratic National Convention. He's been using a wheelchair and family members say he can no longer speak.
