On Wednesday, Kendric Cromer, a 12-year-old boy from a suburb of Washington, became the first person in the world with sickle cell disease to begin a commercially approved gene therapy that may cure the condition.For the estimated 20,000 people with sickle cell in the US who qualify for the treatment, the start of Kendric's monthslong journey may offer hope.

Hereditary heart disease refers to heart conditions that are passed down through families. While you can't change your genetic makeup, understanding and applying effective prevention strategies can significantly reduce the risk of developing heart disease, even if it runs in your family. This article provides a clear and concise overview of prevention strategies for hereditary heart disease, backed by research and presented in simple terms.

Trauma is all too common these days, unfortunately. Divorce. Car accidents. Abuse. Poverty. Bullying. Stress. Life. Traumatic events can actually alter the structure and function of a person's brain resulting in Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). When remembering the trauma, often in vivid flashbacks, or reacting to everyday stressors in life, the brain of a person with PTSD actually functions differently, but it can reset itself.

LOS ANGELES — The Biden administration's move to reclassify marijuana as a less dangerous but still controlled drug was hailed as a monumental step in reshaping national policy. But it might do little to ease a longstanding problem in the cannabis industry — a lack of loans, checking accounts and banking services that other businesses take for granted.
