Selena Gomez Reveals Lupus-Related Arthritis Complication

Singer and actress Selena Gomez disclosed she has developed arthritis related to her lupus diagnosis, which she has openly discussed since 2015. Medical experts explain that up to 90% of lupus patients experience joint pain or arthritis, as the autoimmune disease causes antibodies to attack healthy tissues. While lupus arthritis often doesn't cause permanent X-ray visible damage like rheumatoid arthritis, it can still be profoundly disabling when inadequately treated. The condition primarily affects women between ages 15 and 45, reminding people that joint pain can affect younger adults too.

Study Links Oral Bacteria To Increased Pancreatic Cancer Risk

Researchers studying over 122,000 Americans found that people with 27 specific types of mouth bacteria and fungi have more than triple the risk of developing pancreatic cancer. The study published in JAMA Oncology identified 20 bacteria types and four fungi that affect cancer risk, including three bacteria known to cause gum disease. NYU researchers suggest that brushing and flossing may help prevent both periodontal disease and cancer. Pancreatic cancer has only a 13% five-year survival rate, making early detection crucial. The findings could help oncologists identify high-risk patients for screening.
