What Are the Next Steps After Cognitive Testing?If your results indicate some level of cognitive impairment, more testing will be necessary to learn more about what’s causing it, says Cleveland. “Those will likely be performed by your primary care doctor,” she says.Mild cognitive impairment doesn’t always mean that you’re going to get dementia. About half of people who have mild cognitive impairment have it for some other reason than the foreshadowing of dementia, says Cleveland.One of the first steps in determining a cause is usually looking at all the medications that a person is taking. “Sometimes it’s a medication that’s…

For many people, plague brings to mind rats, crowded medieval towns, and the devastating epidemics that spread across Europe during and after the Middle Ages. New research suggests the disease’s deadly history stretches back much further. A study published in Nature found that plague was already killing people 5,500 years ago in small hunter-gatherer groups, thousands of years before farming communities and cities emerged. An international team of scientists examined ancient DNA from human remains recovered at four hunter-gatherer cemeteries near Lake Baikal in East Siberia. By sequencing genetic material preserved inside ancient teeth, the researchers reconstructed bacterial genomes and…
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

Amid the tumult surrounding President Trump’s decision to appoint an ally with no national security experience to become the acting director of national intelligence, some critics are asking: Should the job even exist?The post was created in the aftermath of two major intelligence failures: the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks and the incorrect assessment that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction.The idea was that a high-ranking intelligence official, independent of any particular spy agency, would improve coordination and communication among various departments.Today, the office oversees the work of 18 intelligence agencies including the C.I.A., the F.B.I., the National Security Agency…

In September 2024, I wrote a column that I’d like to revisit. The theme was right up front in the headline: “Iran is Losing. That May Matter More Than Israel’s Mistakes.”I wrote that column after Israel had executed a series of military and intelligence coups. In the aftermath of its terrible, inexcusable failure to prevent the Hamas massacre of Israeli civilians and foreign nationals on Oct. 7, the Israel Defense Forces had killed senior leaders of Hamas and Hezbollah, decimated Hamas and seriously damaged Hezbollah, and (with American and British help, among others) swatted aside Iran’s missile and drone attacks.That’s…
Colon Cancer ScreeningsLike other at-home screenings, colon cancer self-tests are used for people with average risk of colon cancer. This means that if you have a family history of colon cancer or symptoms like blood in the stool or abdominal pain, you’ll need to see your doctor for a colonoscopy instead.[8] Colon cancer screening is routinely started at age 45.[9]At-home colon cancer tests typically involve mailing in a self-collected stool sample, though each type of test follows a slightly different process. Note that they’ll need to be mailed in a timely fashion after collecting your sample.[8] Some of these tests…
The Gila River is one of the Southwest’s most vital waterways, supplying water to communities, farms, and wildlife while connecting the snow-covered mountains of southwestern New Mexico with the desert landscapes of southwestern Arizona. In years with ample precipitation, winter snow that accumulates in the Mogollon Mountains and Black Range provides much of the river’s spring runoff. That water helps replenish San Carlos Reservoir, which was created by the Coolidge Dam. When full, the reservoir ranks among Arizona’s largest lakes. Snowpack Collapse Drains the Reservoir Conditions were dramatically different in 2026. Snowfall in the Gila River watershed was exceptionally scarce,…
Podcast host Joe Rogan alleged Wednesday that former U.S. presidents personally contacted Spotify in an organized effort to remove his show from the platform over his skeptical commentary on COVID-19 vaccines and lockdowns — claims that remain unverified and unsubstantiated by any independent reporting. Mr. Rogan made the allegations during a new episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience,” sitting down with behavior expert and author Chase Hughes to discuss social media, influence and how he navigated an onslaught of critics during the pandemic. “I can’t even talk about it, but there [were] presidents involved — and former presidents involved —…
For decades, the comrades of Maj. James Capers Jr. and Col. John W. Ripley — two Marines who showed extraordinary heroism in the Vietnam War — have pushed for them to be awarded the Medal of Honor, the military’s highest decoration for combat valor.And even though Maj. Nicholas Dockery of the Army displayed bravery above and beyond the call of duty in Afghanistan in 2012, he has had to wait more than a decade to receive the nation’s highest military award.President Trump on Thursday clasped the medal’s pale blue ribbon around the necks of Major Capers and Major Dockery at…
