2026-03-14T06:18:00.000-07:00

ORLANDO, Fla. (Ivanhoe Newswire) — Chronic pain is any pain that lasts longer than three months. It can also be inconsistent, a constant ache or sudden flares.

Driven By Her Own Pain: First At-Home Test for Endometriosis By Ivanhoe Broadcast News on March 11, 2026

2026-03-14T06:17:00.000-07:00

CINCINNATI, Ohio. (Ivanhoe Newswire) — Endometriosis is a painful and often debilitating disease that affects an estimated 6.5 million women in the U.S. It occurs when tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside of it, causing pain, inflammation, and sometimes infertility. Despite the staggering numbers, doctors and patients say research has been chronically underfunded. NIH has spent less than one-tenth of 1% of its budget over the past decade to study the disease. Now, one researcher is using her own struggle to bring hope to millions. https://www.ivanhoe.com/family-health/driven-by-her-own-pain-first-at-home-test-for-endometriosis/

Orlando, Fla. (Ivanhoe Newswire) — Women’s History Month is often about how far women have come but new data shows the story is more complicated. From winning the right to vote to breaking barriers in politics, science, sports, and business, women have made historic gains over the last century. Today women are more educated, more represented, and more visible than ever before, but in some key areas progress has stalled and in others, it’s actually moving backward. https://www.ivanhoe.com/family-health/women/women-in-2026-progress-power-pushback/

ORLANDO, Fla. (Ivanhoe Newswire) — There are two types of macular degeneration: dry and wet. Dry age-related macular degeneration is the most common type — it happens when small deposits form under the retina, causing cells in the eye’s macula to die off.

Orlando, Fla. (Ivanhoe Newswire) — Experts say one heart risk factor often flies under the radar: blood sugar swings. Nearly 98 million American adults have prediabetes, and more than 80 percent don’t know it. Many people associate blood sugar with diabetes, but doctors say repeated spikes and crashes can affect anyone, increasing inflammation and raising heart disease risk. Experts say millions may be stressing their hearts simply by choosing the wrong “healthy” foods. https://www.ivanhoe.com/?p=36813&preview=1&_ppp=a4673eca30

Tracking Teens: When Safety Becomes Surveillance By Ivanhoe Broadcast News on March 19, 2026

Orlando, Fla. (Ivanhoe Newswire) — Smartphones, GPS apps, and air tags have made it easier than ever for parents to know where their kids are and what they’re doing. In fact, studies show about half of U.S. parents now use location-tracking apps to monitor their teens. Supporters say it’s about safety.

https://www.academia.edu/2997-9196/3/1/10.20935/MHealthWellB8157 Abstract Introduction: Due to the urgent need for more sustainable support for post-secondary student mental health, many institutions are exploring alternative ideas for intervention, such as the role of technology, including artificial intelligence (AI) and wellness apps. However, if technological programs or devices are used for student mental health, their design and delivery should align with research on student well-being, best practices in psychological interventions, and learning theories. Materials and methods: This study used a case study approach to examine how cognitive, industrial, and positive psychology principles can inform the design and delivery of mental health apps and programs. An emerging platform from Denmark, StudentPulse, which has students complete mental health check-ins, was examined using a comparison analysis approach between design features and research on post-secondary wellness and learning. Results: The analysis revealed how the platform’s features are rooted in three areas of psychological wellness: cognitive, positive, and industrial. This included design features such as AI-trained responses for students that provide immediate feedback, choice, reflection, and flourishing questions. The feedback design is based on cognitive principles of retention, attention, and motivation. Conclusions: As post-secondary institutions continue to adopt technological tools that support student mental health, these tools must be grounded in psychological principles to ensure they minimize harm and promote student wellness. The study recommends that wellness-based technologies incorporate evidence-based research in mental health, learning, and psychology in their design and implementation. https://www.academia.edu/journals/academia-mental-health-and-well-being/articles?source=journal-top-nav

From coordinating a multidisciplinary clinic in Madrid to refining Rett-specific outcome measures and leading research on epilepsy, sleep and comorbidities, she is helping clinicians and families navigate prognosis, measurement and meaningful change in an era of growing possibility.
