A 25-year-old man with abdominal pain and a pseudocyst was eventually diagnosed with pancreatic cancer after a series of life-threatening complications, including internal bleeding. His case highlights the importance of thorough diagnosis and the rare occurrence of pancreatic cancer in young individuals, with successful treatment leading to his eventual cure after five years.
Researchers have developed a two-component synthetic replacement for blood clots that targets internal injuries without causing any unwanted damage of its own. The synthetic process has only been tested on mice, but it effectively triggered the blood clotting part of the natural hemostasis reaction to wounds and proved significantly better at stopping bleeding than previous approaches. The system would automatically target the site of the problem and provide some help for the body until more comprehensive medical assistance can be given.
The colour of your urine can reveal important information about your internal health. Dark yellow urine may indicate dehydration, while reddish urine may be a sign of internal bleeding. Other causes of unusual urine colours include the foods you eat, medications you take, and certain medical disorders. Dark brown urine should never be ignored as it could be a sign of bladder or kidney cancer. Adequate hydration can help maintain a healthy urine colour.
