Why didn't I know I could get breast cancer at 23?If she hadn't known she might have breast cancer so young, there was a very good chance others would be equally misinformed, she said in a 2021 interview with The Guardian. She spent the next 15 years educating young people about early detection through her nonprofit, CoppaFeel, and in a 2021 memoir, “Glittering a Turd.”On Monday, CoppaFeel announced that Ms. Hallenga had died at the age of 38. A spokesperson for the organization said that she had died at her home in Cornwall, England, and that the cause was breast cancer.“Survival has never been enough,” ...

Scientists are proposing a new way of understanding the genetics of Alzheimer's that would mean up to a fifth of patients would be considered to have a genetically caused form of the disease.Currently, the vast majority of Alzheimer's cases do not have a clearly identified cause. The new designation, proposed in a study published Monday, could broaden the scope of efforts to develop treatments, including gene therapy, and influence the design of clinical trials.It could also mean that hundreds of thousands of people in the United States alone could, if they wanted, receive a diagnosis of Alzheimer's before developing any symptoms of cognitive decline, even though there are currently no treatments for people at that stage.The new classification would make this type of Alzheimer...

The Russian Defense Ministry said President Vladimir V. Putin had ordered a drill for missile, aviation and naval personnel to “increase the readiness of non-strategic nuclear forces to carry out combat missions.”Russian officials said the order was in response to Western comments about the possibility of more direct Western involvement in the war in Ukraine....

The latest round of negotiations between Israel and Hamas reached a stalemate on Sunday, as mediators struggled to fill remaining gaps and a Hamas delegation walked out of talks in Cairo, according to two senior Hamas officials and two other officials who they were familiar with interviews.
