Finally, there’s a new vision for addressing this common eye condition. Dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD) slowly damages the macula, the part of the retina responsible for central vision. Geographic atrophy is an advanced and irreversible form of AMD that affects about a million Americans. This image from the study shows the patient’s retina before and after the PRIMA implant. Science Corporation / SWNS Treatments have focused on slowing its progression but haven’t restored lost vision — until now. Several patients in a revolutionary clinical trial regained their ability to read when they received an extraordinary electronic eye implant that’s…

This review contains spoilers for ‘Frankenstein’ (2025). Few filmmakers working today love monsters the way Guillermo del Toro does. He doesn’t fear them, pity them, or try to redeem them — he loves them. In every film, from Pan’s Labyrinth to Crimson Peak, del Toro builds worlds that are achingly, hauntingly beautiful, but never hollow. His images shimmer with the sacred and the grotesque in equal measure. Beneath the intricate design and painterly light, there’s always a pulse, something human and hurting. Frankenstein is no exception; in fact, it might be his most personal act of devotion yet. Frankenstein feels…

Kristen Bell may have found her next TV gig. The “Nobody Wants This” actress, 45, caught the attention of “Dateline” after she posted an anniversary tribute to husband Dax Shepard that was deemed “tone-deaf.” Alongside a photo of the couple hugging, Bell wrote, “Happy 12th wedding anniversary to the man who once said to me: ‘I would never kill you. A lot of men have killed their wives at a certain point. Even though I’m heavily incentivized to kill you, I never would’ ❤️.” “Dateline” commented on Bell’s Instagram post, “Screenshotted.” Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard. kristenanniebell/Instagram Dateline’s comment on…

As anti-vaccine sentiment rises nationally, prominent people have proposed splitting combination vaccines into individual shots. For example, the new acting director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently said that manufacturers should separate the combined measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine into three different (“mono-valent”) vaccines. While this idea may sound new and aligned with parental choice, it risks undermining childhood immunization rates and increasing preventable illness and death. How the Idea of Splitting Vaccines Became Popular After the success of the polio vaccine campaign in the 1950s, vaccine researchers developed individual vaccines from 1963-1969 against three viruses—measles, mumps, and…

DENVER – In overdramatized terms, the Giants left their season up to Nic Jones and Beau Brade over Dexter Lawrence and Abdul Carter.  It went as badly as that sounds. Head coach Brian Daboll is correct in repeating on loop Sunday that blowing a 19-point fourth-quarter lead and allowing 33 fourth-quarter points in a 33-32 loss to the Broncos doesn’t boil down to one play.  But the play – and the call made by coordinator Shane Bowen – that is hardest for the defense to stomach was the decision to only send Roy Robertson-Harris, Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux at…

Moscow appears to have rejected President Trump’s latest call to freeze the current state of the front lines in Ukraine, reiterating that “Russia’s stance doesn’t change.” Addressing Trump’s proposal over the weekend that the war in Ukraine end immediately and that each side keep the land they currently hold, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov scoffed at the prospect of allowing Kyiv to keep parts of the Donbas region.

The Louvre remained closed Monday, a day after historic jewels were stolen from the world’s most-visited museum in a daring daylight heist that prompted authorities to reassess security measures at cultural sites across France.

It almost doesn’t make sense until it…totally does. Much like buying a parka for bargain bin prices in late March or April, snapping up Christmas ornaments and decor in the first week of January, or filling your home with Halloween candy on November 1, there really isn’t a better time to invest in a grill than when we’re headed out of grill season. So don’t feel silly picking up this great…

Lately, in the blur of activities surrounding the release of my book The Devil’s Castle, I find myself, in readings and interviews, answering the same questions. In one bookstore, a couple wandered in for coffee, listened for a second, and not only sat down to hear the rest, but got in line at the end. They asked if I believe psychiatric methods can really get better. I answer this question almost every day: Yes. Yes, they can. Not only can things get better, but they’ve also been better. Many smart, good people have looked at their time’s ways of dealing…
