In a recent breakthrough, researchers have uncovered a genetic mutation that may allow certain individuals to thrive on just three hours of sleep per night. The findings, published on May 5, 2025, in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, shed light on a rare group of people known as “natural short sleepers”—those who…
Understanding Rare DiseasesRare diseases affect between 300 and 400 million people globally—more than cancer and AIDS combined. Despite this, diagnosis often takes 4 to 6 years, a delay commonly referred to as the diagnostic odyssey. These diseases are defined as conditions affecting fewer than 1 in 2,000 people in the EU or under 200,000 individuals…
Rapid genome sequencing (RGS), ultra-rapid genome sequencing (URGS), and rapid exome sequencing (RES) are diagnostic tests for genetic diseases for ICU patients
In a first, doctors at Karachi’s Jinnah Hospital have claimed to have achieved a major breakthrough by conducting robotic surgery to treat diabetes and obesity. Professor Shahid Rasool, who led the operation, told Geo News that after this procedure, diabetic patients would not require any medicine or insulin to control blood sugar levels. The successful…
Robotic surgery is a form of minimal access surgery, also known as robotic-assisted surgery. The Da Vinci Surgical (DVS) system was authorized in 2000. Robotic technology was introduced to facilitate surgeons during challenging operations, keeping the concept of minimal access1. Telesurgery is also feasible with the robot, as the surgeon’s console can be connected to…
