Recent headlines warn of the potential for mega-tsunamis—massive waves triggered by landslides or volcanic collapses rather than earthquakes. While the idea of a 1,000-foot wave hitting the U.S. coast sounds terrifying, experts emphasize these scenarios are extremely rare and often theoretical. Scientists continue to study past geological events, like asteroid impacts and volcanic collapses, to better understand future risks. Some focus has returned to the Cumbre Vieja volcano in the Canary Islands, which, if it were to collapse, could send a tsunami across the Atlantic. However, many researchers say this scenario is unlikely, noting the volcano has erupted without such effects in the past. The U.S. regions with the highest tsunami risk—Alaska, Hawaii, and the West Coast—are closely monitored with early-warning systems and improved disaster preparedness. The good news? Scientists are actively researching, monitoring, and improving our understanding and response to natural threats—keeping communities safer through knowledge and early action.

Good health habits often focus on diet, exercise, and stress, but your sleeping position is just as important. How you sleep can affect your long-term health in surprising ways. We spend about one-third of our lives asleep, often in the same position for hours. Poor sleep posture can cause chronic pain, nerve compression, poor circulation, and fatigue, even after a full night’s rest. Sleeping on your stomach is least recommended—it twists your neck, flattens your spine, and strains your lower back. Arms overhead or under the pillow can compress nerves, causing numbness. A tightly curled fetal position may limit lung capacity and strain the spine. The best position? Sleeping on your left side. It improves digestion, reduces acid reflux, boosts circulation, and supports spinal alignment. It’s ideal for pregnant women and those with high blood pressure. Use supportive pillows, avoid overly soft mattresses, and try a body pillow to maintain side sleeping for better rest and health.

The ‘aggressive form’ of prostate cancer has been identified in former President Joe Biden, 82, according to a Sunday announcement from his office According to a statement announcing the discovery, the cancer has gone to his bones and metastasised. The family is currently deliberating on available treatment choices. The news was made just one week after it was reported that Biden’s prostate had a “small nodule” that required “further evaluation.” “Last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms,” said a statement regarding the diagnosis. On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone,” it adds of the grave prognosis. A ‘Gleason score’ is assigned to prostate tumours based on how the malignant cells appear in comparison to healthy ones. Biden’s cancer appears to be among the most aggressive, based on his score of 9. Source: Flickr His office noted that: “While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management.”  Former President Joe Biden’s cancer diagnosis was “saddened to hear,” according to President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump. “We wish Joe a fast and successful recovery,” Trump wrote in Truth Social on Sunday. In addition to being elected as the oldest individual to hold the highest office in American history, Biden departed office as the country’s oldest sitting president. Last weekend, according to his staff, the “small nodule” on his prostate was found during “a routine physical exam.” Prostate problems are widespread among people in their advanced years. According to the American Cancer Society, men over 65 account for more than half of all prostate cancer cases. A hard lump or swelling that can appear anywhere on the body is called a nodule. Some may be benign and innocuous, while others may be linked to more serious health issues like infections or, in this case, cancer. In the end, concerns about the former president’s age, health, and suitability for office caused him to withdraw from his reelection campaign and hand the reins over to 60-year-old Vice President Kamala Harris. Democratic Party leaders have begun to openly acknowledge that Biden was wrong to seek reelection in 2024. Some say that aides who were hiding Biden from the public and telling party members he was fit behind the scenes tricked them. Biden’s vice president, Kamala Harris, reacted to his newest health revelation by saying, “Doug and I are saddened to learn of President Biden’s prostate cancer diagnosis.”  “We are keeping him, Dr. Biden, and their entire family in our hearts and prayers during this time. Joe is a fighter — and I know he will face this challenge with the same strength, resilience, and optimism that have always defined his life and leadership. We are hopeful for a full and speedy recovery.” In 2022, Biden rekindled his Cancer Moonshot campaign, which he had initially been tasked with leading while he was vice president under Barack Obama. By 2047, the project aimed to improve the lives of cancer patients and reduce the cancer death rate by half. For Biden, finding a solution to the cancer issue was personal. After being diagnosed with the most aggressive form of brain cancer, glioblastoma multiforme, in 2013, his son Beau Biden passed away in 2015 at the age of 46. According to his father, Beau’s exposure to military burn pits during his time in Iraq caused the cancer. Prior to taking office, Biden underwent Mohs surgery to remove many non-melanoma skin cancer spots and had a malignant tumour removed from his chest in February 2023. Biden was deemed ‘fit to serve’ by his physician after a regular medical at Walter Reed National Military Medical Centre in February 2024, when he was still president. The most severe grade of prostate cancer that a patient can be assigned is 9 (Grade Group 5). The serious diagnosis is further supported by the fact that cancer has spread to the former president’s bones. According to the statement from Biden’s office, his cancer seems to be hormone sensitive and may be properly treated with a variety of therapies. Since testosterone can aid in the growth and metastasis of hormone-sensitive prostate cancer, doctors and medical professionals have observed that inhibiting testosterone production is an effective treatment for this type of cancer. “The President and his family are reviewing treatment options with his physicians,” it states. Biden started his media comeback earlier this month. On May 8, he co-hosted an interview with his wife, former first lady Jill Biden, on The View. To commemorate the anniversary of Victory Day, the former president also appeared on BBC for a lengthy pre-recorded interview. However, Jake Tapper of CNN and Alex Thompson of Axios are writing a book that will only discuss Biden’s demise and the vast cover-up of his cognitive degeneration during his one term in office. “Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again” will hit shelves later this week and details the extent of the cover-up.

Doctors and dermatologists are cautioning individuals interested in brightening their under-eye areas with non-surgical procedures to understand the potential risks involved. Among the most alarming complications are unusual “lumps and bumps” that can result from certain treatments.According to data from the National Institutes of Health, over 19.1 million non-surgical cosmetic procedures were performed globally in 2023. Botox, or botulinum toxin, was the most popular choice, followed by hyaluronic acid fillers, hair removal, and chemical peels. Another non-surgical option that has been gaining traction in the United States is Mesotherapy.  Experts are urging people to think twice before trying this popular non-surgical treatment. However, medical professionals are raising concerns about its potential side effects, including skin that some describe as taking on a “reptilian” appearance. So, what exactly is Mesotherapy, and why are these warnings making headlines? Let’s break it down.   A patient with welts under their eyes, a common side effect of the initial injections that eventually recedes.TikTok/La Belle Cosmetics What is Mesotherapy? Mesotherapy is a cosmetic procedure that involves injecting a combination of vitamins, enzymes, hormones, and plant extracts into the middle layer of the skin. This method aims to rejuvenate the skin, tighten it, and even remove excess fat in some cases. The treatment is advertised as “minimally invasive” and uses ultra-fine needles to deliver the solutions. It’s commonly performed on areas such as the neck, face, hands, hairline, stomach, and décolletage. What is Mesotherapy used for? Mesotherapy is a versatile treatment, appealing to people with a range of cosmetic concerns. It’s often used to improve the appearance of stretch marks, reduce cellulite, and rejuvenate tired-looking skin. Some patients even opt for the treatment to assist with fat removal. However, the American Society for Plastic Surgeons does not recommend Mesotherapy for fat reduction due to insufficient evidence supporting its effectiveness in this area. Recently, the procedure has become especially popular for addressing dark circles and bags under the eyes.  Advocates claim it can lighten the skin and make under-eye puffiness less noticeable, but it’s not without risks.   Medical practitioners have outlined the side-effects of MesotherapyGetty Stock Image What are the risks of Mesotherapy? If you’re considering Mesotherapy, it’s crucial to consult a qualified healthcare provider before undergoing the treatment. While the procedure is often marketed as safe, it can come with a range of side effects. Common issues include redness, tenderness, and bruising at the injection site. Some patients also report raised bumps under the skin, which have been likened to a “reptilian” texture. The International Academy of Cosmetic Dermatology notes: “Lumps and bumps are probably the most common complication from mesotherapy,”  They further explain: “They can result when the solution is distributed unevenly or when the solution is not homogenous and has different effects in different zones.” “Concentrations vary when the mix is not homogenous and one area may have totally different materials from an adjacent one.” But these are just the tip of the iceberg. More serious complications can arise, including infections that may lead to long-term tissue damage or even skin necrosis.  Dr. Viktoryia Kazlouskaya, a dermatologist based in New York, warns: “Patients may experience long-lasting bruising, severe allergic reactions, skin necrosis due to product placement in blood vessels, or even permanent eye damage,” Who performs Mesotherapy and is it regulated? Unlike treatments like Botox, Mesotherapy involves practitioners creating their own custom solutions. This means the substances used are not regulated or tested for safety in the same way. Dr. Kazlouskaya points out: “While mesotherapy may be legal in some other countries, the absence of US regulatory oversight means patients could be exposed to counterfeit or unverified products,” Additionally, Dr. Tripathi, a California-based plastic surgeon, cautions that inexperienced practitioners can lead to undesirable results. “Inexperience can be a problem that creates unsightly results,”   One expert quipped: ‘not all eyebags are created equal’Getty Stock Image Dr. Tripathi also emphasizes that Mesotherapy is not a one-size-fits-all treatment.  He explains: “If someone wants a solution for their under eyes, the treatment has to be tailored based on their particular anatomy. Not all eyebags are created equal.” What other ways can you relieve dark circles and eye bags? Dr. Hannah Kopelman, a dermatologist in New York, advises anyone considering Mesotherapy to fully understand the risks before moving forward. She shares: “As a dermatologist, I always emphasize the importance of a tailored approach to addressing dark circles, starting with identifying the underlying cause and exploring evidence-based options that provide safe and predictable results,” If you decide against the procedure, there are other methods to address dark circles and eye bags. The Cleveland Clinic suggests simple remedies like getting enough sleep, elevating your head at night and applying cucumber slices to your eyes.  For those struggling with under-eye puffiness, the Mayo Clinic recommends reducing fluid intake before bed and using a cool compress to minimize swelling.
