The mix is one of urgent response, recovery, and early signals that could widen treatment options if evidence holds up.

Early studies suggest GLP-1 obesity drugs may also help treat PMOS, a rare hormonal disorder linked to weight gain, irregular periods, and other hormone-related symptoms.

Guerrero leaves the game after the sixth-inning incident, turning a chaotic defensive sequence into a health setback for one of Toronto’s most important players.

A body is found during the search for 18-year-old British student George Smyth, who went missing while hiking alone in Romania.
