There was good news for the brain recently with the US approving Aduhelm, a drug that can slow cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s sufferers.

Here, we present some numbers to

Hay fever (also known as Allergic Rhinitis): For those who suffer from it, frustratingly, it often feels like the great compromise to enjoying Spring when it finally comes around. We already know many of the symptoms, but did you also know that more sinisterly, hay fever affects your central nervous system and your ability to make decisions? In this
