A new approach to treating Duchenne muscular dystrophy has shown promising results in a clinical trial.

Debra Miller's son Hawken was diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy at 7 years old. His mother devoted her time to supporting research and raising money for clinical trials. After 20 years, Hawken finally got into a trial for an exon-skipping drug, which showed miraculous results. A new Politico poll found that nearly three-quarters of MAGA supporters also identify as Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) backers. MAHA supporters prioritize issues like vaccine access and reducing ultra-processed foods. The movement has gained traction since its inception. A majority of MAHA followers see core principles as removing artificial dyes from foods and limiting pesticide use. Some MAHA supporters also prioritize making certain medications more affordable and restricting access to abortion and social media. A separate study found that many cancer patients miss out on genomic testing that could guide treatment. This means they may not benefit from newer therapies. Health systems and insurers are also grappling with the increasing costs of AI scribes, which are driving up healthcare costs.
