Blue Cross authorized mastectomies and breast reconstructions for women with cancer but refused to pay the full doctors’ bills.

But the insurer did make some exceptions. On several occasions, Blue Cross executives signed deals to pay for their wives’ treatment.

In a landmark achievement, scientists have won the Nobel Prize for discovering a way to stop the immune system from attacking the body. This breakthrough could revolutionize the treatment of autoimmune diseases like lupus, multiple sclerosis, and rheumatoid arthritis, where the body mistakenly targets its own cells.

By understanding and regulating the immune response, researchers can now develop therapies that prevent harmful inflammation without compromising overall immunity. Early applications of this discovery are already showing promising results in clinical trials, offering hope to millions suffering from chronic autoimmune conditions.

This Nobel-winning work not only opens doors for longer, healthier lives but also paves the way for precision medicine that targets the root causes of immune dysfunction. The future of autoimmune treatment has never looked brighter.

The fever faded. The fog stayed.
Millions recovered in body — but not in mind.
Memory dimmed. Focus frayed. Clarity slipped away.

Now, scientists in Japan believe they’ve found the reason why.
A new study from Yokohama City University used advanced [11C]K-2 PET scans to detect unusually high levels of AMPA receptors — the molecules that control learning and memory.
When they surge, the brain’s wiring overheats: inflammation follows, and thought turns to static.

The scan identified Long COVID patients with 100% sensitivity and 91% accuracy — the strongest biological proof yet that brain fog has form.
It’s less a mystery, more a map — showing how the mind bruises when the body heals.

Five years after the first wave, science is finally catching up to memory itself.
Because when the brain remembers what the world forgot, recovery can begin.
