A fetus showed typical Tulip Sign (hypospadias marker) on prenatal scan. The younger sibling received customized care: hormone ointment first to boost penile growth before successful surgery at 10 months. Hypospadias needs personalized plans and long-term follow-up till puberty to avoid later complications like acquired cryptorchidism.

Many parents fear general anesthesia impairs kids’ intelligence, yet key medical studies prove short single anesthesia won’t hurt neurodevelopment. FDA alerts only apply to under-3 kids with over three long-time surgeries. Most pediatric procedures here finish within 30 mins with updated safe anesthetics. Kids receive combined general and local anesthesia; parents can stay with children during anesthesia induction to avoid mental trauma.

Recovering from a tracheostomy doesn’t have to be difficult. Doctors share the core rules: eat well, sleep well, cough well, and stay active—sit, stand, then walk step by step.Early feeding is safe, good sleep supports recovery, strong coughing helps clear airways, and gradual movement boosts lung function.With proper care and family support, a tracheostomy is just a bridge to better breathing, not a final stop.

When elderly family members show memory loss and slow responses, people often assume it’s Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Yet among dementias, Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB) is the second most common type but is frequently misunderstood and misdiagnosed. Distinguishing them is critical, as symptoms, treatments, and care differ greatly. To put it simply: Alzheimer’s is a “memory thief”, while DLB is a “hallucination director”.

Extreme lateral lumbar disc herniation (ELLDH) is a special subtype of lumbar disc herniation. It often causes radiating leg pain along the buttock, outer thigh, anterolateral lower leg, and dorsum of the foot, while back pain is usually mild. ELLDH is like a “hidden assassin” in the spinal maze. The herniation occurs outside the intervertebral foramen, compressing the exiting nerve root and causing severe radiating pain; severe cases lead to difficulty walking.

Warning Signs of Cancerous Moles (ABCDE Rule) Asymmetry: Benign moles are mostly symmetrical; irregular shape is suspicious. Border: Blurred, jagged, or uneven edges. Color: Uneven mixing of black, brown, blue, white, or other colors. Diameter: Larger than 6mm, or growing rapidly in a short time. Evolution: Changing quickly—itching, ulceration, oozing, crusting, or swelling.

On May 22, 75-year-old Mr. Qiu from Zhejiang successfully underwent a groundbreaking procedure at Shanghai BDG Brain Hospital: China’s first implantation of a deep brain stimulation (DBS) system using an 8-contact electrode paired with the new G108R brain pacemaker. This marks another major breakthrough in personalized Parkinson’s treatment at our hospital.

Luxury polar cruise turns into a nightmare: a deadly virus with a 40% fatality rate spreads on board, causing multiple infections and deaths. The culprit is the Andes hantavirus, the only strain that can transmit human-to-human via respiratory droplets. Early symptoms resemble flu but quickly progress to fatal respiratory failure. The virus has a long incubation period and once triggered a super-spreading event in Argentina.

In early September this year, 74-year-old Ms Bao suffered an abrupt health crisis. Within just a few days, her condition deteriorated rapidly from general fatigue to acute kidney failure. The culprit was atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS). Fortunately, thanks to precise treatment by a multidisciplinary team at Sir Robert Run Shaw Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, she was successfully weaned off dialysis on the 22nd day of onset and regained a healthy li

Excess neck fat acts like a “noose,” compressing the airway. At night, relaxed muscles cause repeated airway collapse: breathing pauses hundreds of times nightly, up to 50 seconds each — repeated cycles of hypoxia → suffocation → awakening. This intermittent nighttime hypoxia: Raises heart workload，Triggers sympathetic overactivity，Causes nocturnal hypertension and arrhythmias，Increases sudden‑death risk.

Data released by the National Cancer Center (2024) shows that young people aged 15–39 account for about 5% of all new cancer cases. While the incidence rate is relatively low, it is rising year by year. Common cancers among young people: Thyroid cancer/Breast cancer/Leukemia/Lymphoma Colorectal cancer. Cancers Becoming More Common in Young People.

Hyperuricemia is a metabolic disorder from purine imbalance: under normal diet, fasting serum uric acid > 420 μmol/L on two separate days. Above this saturation level, uric acid crystals form and deposit in joints, triggering gout. Most gout patients have hyperuricemia.

There is no “safe amount of alcohol” Forget the myth that moderate drinking benefits health. Alcohol itself is a Group 1 carcinogen. Acetaldehyde from alcohol metabolism directly damages DNA and induces gene mutations. People who flush when drinking (genetic deficiency) face even higher risk. Long‑term drinking increases risks of oral, esophageal, liver, and breast cancers. Barbecue plus drinking combines two hazards for greater harm. Don’t drink if you can avoid it; drink l

“This is moyamoya disease, a chronic progressive occlusive cerebrovascular disorder,” Dr. Wang explained. “When the main arteries of the brain become blocked, the body attempts to compensate by growing many fragile abnormal small vessels. On angiography, these vessels look like smoke. This is not just a simple blockage; it is an extremely complex case where the body’s compensatory mechanism is on the verge of collapse.”

Clinicians can use VR devices to access a first-person perspective and accurately perform remote auscultation, bedside ultrasound, medical record and monitoring data review and other operations. This not only reduces infection risks and eases the heavy workload of medical staff, but also ensures timely treatment for critically ill patients, helping hospitals and grassroots cooperative institutions deliver standardized critical care.

According to statistics from the Particle Therapy Co‑Operative Group (PTCOG), by 2021, more than 260,000 patients worldwide had received proton or heavy‑ion therapy. The number of proton centers grew from 1 in 1990 to over 100 today, and is still rising rapidly. Proton therapy has become a major global trend in precision cancer radiotherapy.

Rectal cancer care is now defined by precision, individualization and function priority: 1.Precision evaluation: MRI and CT for accurate tumor mapping 2.MDT collaboration: colorectal surgery, radiotherapy, oncology, radiology 3.Technical innovation: robotic surgery, neoadjuvant therapy, Cai’s Stent, Parks procedure 4.Patient‑centered: tailored to age, function needs and economic status

A 39-year-old live streamer suffered sudden death from ruptured cerebral aneurysm. Known as an intracranial time bomb, cerebral aneurysms are mostly asymptomatic. Major risk factors include hypertension, stress, smoking and overwork. Early cerebrovascular screening, blood pressure control and standardized neurosurgical intervention can effectively prevent fatal hemorrhage. Shanghai Donglei Brain Hospital provides professional diagnosis and treatment for cerebrovascular diseas

A multi‑center study of 200 chronic insomnia patients showed: Combined acupuncture‑tuina group: sleep efficiency rose from 68% to 89% Tuina alone: 74%; Acupuncture alone: 78% Auricular point pressing (Shenmen, Heart, Subcortex) + body acupuncture shortened sleep onset to <15 minutes.

On January 31, 2026, SinoUnited Health became one of Shanghai’s first institutions to successfully implant Medtronic’s latest Onyx TruStar™ coronary stent. The stent features a flexible, low-profile design and advanced BioLinx coating for better vascular healing and safety. Backed by an experienced cardiology team and advanced IVUS imaging, SinoUnited Health provides personalized, full-cycle cardiovascular care, continuing to lead with cutting-edge technology to protect patie
