A study of more than 8 million adults in Ontario, Canada suggests that even a modest loss of kidney function is associated with increased health risks. The study, published in The BMJ, could lead to better approaches to prevent chronic kidney disease and related conditions, particularly in younger adults.

When patients are suspected of having a primary brain tumour, also known as a glioma, they typically undergo a biopsy or a resection — procedures that involve surgically removing a sample of the tumour to further analyze it. Biopsies help oncologists confirm the existence of a tumour and determine whether it’s malignant or benign. This data also guides oncologists in choosing the proper course of ...
