Two centenarians broke the Guinness World Record for longest marriage of a living couple, as reported by Jam Press and confirmed by LongeviQuest, a database on the life and times of the world’s oldest people.
Manoel Angelim Dino, 105, first met Maria de Sousa Dino, 101, while collecting sweets in Brazil in 1936. They remained acquaintances until they met again in 1940.
When the couple reunited, Manoel said he fell in love at first sight. He declared his sentiments to Maria, who felt the same. The couple has now been happily married for 84 years and 85 days.
ONE MAN KNOWS THE SECRETS OF LIVING A LONG, HEALTHY LIFE, AND IT’S ALL ABOUT ONE ACTIVITY
Maria’s mother was unsure of the couple’s union at first, according to Jam Press.
Manoel quickly won her favor after building a house for himself, Maria and their future family.
By this time, World War II was breaking out in Europe.
Back in Brazil, the couple grew tobacco to support their 13 children.

An off-label prescription drug has been shown to help some non-verbal children with autism discover the ability to speak.
The drug, leucovorin, is a prescription vitamin that functions similarly to folic acid, helping to restore folate levels in patients who may have difficulty absorbing or using it, according to Katy Dubinsky, a New York pharmacist and the CEO and co-founder of Vitalize, a private supplement company.
“Leucovorin is FDA-approved to reduce the toxic effects of high-dose methotrexate in cancer treatment and to prevent or treat certain types of anemia caused by folate deficiency,” Dubinsky told Fox News Digital.

While leucovorin isn’t prescribed for the treatment of autism, some families have found that its off-label use has led to significant improvements in autistic children’s communication skills, experts say.

As the health of Americans comes into sharper focus with the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement, women’s health needs to be a priority, says one expert.
Functional medicine provider Dr. Austin Lake of Tulsa, Oklahoma, specializes in treating women with hormonal imbalances, autoimmune conditions and chronic diseases.
In an on-camera interview with Fox News Digital, Lake said that before the MAHA movement, he met with many “frustrated” women who suffered chronic health problems, as well as mothers and grandmothers who worried about their children’s health. (See the video at the top of this article.)
EVERYTHING TO KNOW ABOUT MAHA
“When RFK came on the scene … and started to give it a title, Make America Healthy Again just made sense,” he said.
“There’s plenty of stats and evidence that indicates there is a huge need for a movement like this, because our people are struggling,” added Lake.
For women in particular, Lake highlighted a few key issues the MAHA movement is likely to..

During active cancer treatment, patients face many smaller battles on the path to remission.
One of those lesser-known struggles is a condition known as chemo mouth, a painful side effect of chemotherapy and radiation.
For some, chemo mouth can result in mouth sores and other uncomfortable symptoms, like a limited ability to eat, drink or even speak, according to experts.
‘I’M A CANCER SURVIVOR – HERE’S WHAT I’VE CUT FROM MY KITCHEN’
In an on-camera interview with Fox News Digital, Dr. Rajiv Saini, a dentist and periodontal specialist from Katy, Texas, discussed the seldom spoken-about condition. (See the video at the top of this article.)
As cancer rates trend high throughout the U.S. — with the National Cancer Institute projecting that 26 million people will be diagnosed by 2030 — Saini said chemo mouth is likely to be one of the most common side effects.
Among those who have had head or neck cancer, 90% will experience these symptoms. Out of all cancer survivors, ..

The Texas Department of State Health and Services (DSHS) has been tracking an ever-growing measles outbreak that has nearly doubled in the last two weeks.
When first reported on Feb. 5 in Gaines County, officials warned there would be additional cases.
“Due to the highly contagious nature of this disease, additional cases are likely to occur in Gaines County and the surrounding communities,” the alert said.
MEASLES OUTBREAK CONTINUES TO WORSEN AMONG KIDS IN THIS US STATE
The outbreak is the worst outbreak in decades and now the highly contagious disease has spread into New Mexico.
The New Mexico Department of Health (NMDOH) is testing residents and has confirmed three cases just last week, bringing their total to eight.
The cases meet the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s outbreak criteria due to the three unrelated cases in Lea County, bordering Gaines County.
Although the New Mexico outbreak is close in proximity, a connection remains unconfirmed.

A vaccine for pancreatic cancer could serve as a promising new therapy.
At Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) in New York, an experimental approach to treating the cancer with a messenger RNA (mRNA)-based therapeutic vaccine “continues to show potential” in reducing the risk of the disease returning after surgery, according to a press release.
Results from the phase 1 clinical trial, published in the journal Nature, revealed that the vaccine triggered an immune response in a small patient group.
CANCER VACCINE SHOWS PROMISING RESULTS FOR CERTAIN PATIENTS
This immune-cell activation persisted for nearly four years after treatment, the release stated.
Patients who received the vaccine and showed an immune system response were more likely to remain cancer-free by their three-year follow-up.
Vinod Balachandran, MD, principal investigator of the trial and senior study author at MSK, stated his optimism about the efficacy of this treatment.
“We find that with RNA vaccine technology..

As bird flu outbreaks affect poultry farms in multiple states, and with several recent cases emerging in humans, experts are weighing in on best practices for egg preparation.
Professor Tim Spector, a genetic epidemiology expert at King’s College London, took to Instagram to tell his audience that eggs are safe to eat when taking proper precautions. (See the video at the top of the article.)
Eggs provide nearly every essential vitamin and mineral, including vitamin A, B12 and selenium, along with high-quality protein, according to the doctor.
MINNESOTA DECLARES STATE OF EMERGENCY AS DISEASES CRIPPLE MIDWESTERN FARMS
“The yolk is especially rich in choline, a crucial nutrient for brain health, and eggs are one of the few natural sources of vitamin D,” he wrote in the Instagram post.
More than 23 million egg-laying chickens in the U.S. have been lost due to bird flu outbreaks since the start of 2025, according to USDA market analysis — but that doesn’t mean eggs are unsafe to eat, Spect..

Two widely touted Alzheimer’s drugs have been shown to enable patients to remain in their homes, living independently, for longer periods of time.
Those medications, while effective, are not without their risks and side effects, however.
That’s according to a study published last week in the Alzheimer’s Association journal.
RED MEAT COULD RAISE DEMENTIA RISK, RESEARCHERS CLAIM, YET SOME DOCTORS HAVE QUESTIONS
Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis analyzed how long 282 Alzheimer’s patients were able to continue living independently after taking two specific treatments: lecanemab (Leqembi) and donanemab (Kisunla).
Both FDA-approved medications are designed to remove amyloid beta plaques from the brains of people with early-stage Alzheimer’s disease, potentially slowing the rate of cognitive decline.
Patients who took lecanemab extended their time at home for an additional 10 months, while donanemab enabled them to live independently for ei..

Following Pope Francis’ diagnosis of bilateral pneumonia, doctors are speaking about the condition.
The Vatican announced the Catholic faith leader’s diagnosis — which was reportedly confirmed via laboratory tests and chest X-rays — in a statement on Tuesday.
“The polymicrobial infection, which arose on a picture of bronchiectasis and asmatiform bronchitis, and which required the use of antibiotic cortisone therapy, makes the therapeutic treatment more complex,” the statement said.
POPE FRANCIS DIAGNOSED WITH BILATERAL PNEUMONIA, VATICAN SAYS
“The chest CT scan that the Holy Father underwent this afternoon … demonstrated the onset of bilateral pneumonia that required further pharmacological therapy.”
Pope Francis, 88, was recently hospitalized to treat bronchitis, a condition that can lead to pneumonia.
Pneumonia is defined by Cleveland Clinic as an infection in the lungs caused by bacteria, viruses or fungi.
This can cause the lung tissue to swell and cr..
