Most directions given with these drugs vaguely recommend taking them an hour or so before eating.  Lab data pinpoints a more specific time.It turns out that the best time to take any of these drugs is exactly 20 to 30 minutes before you begin eating.

    Vidcast:  https://www.instagram.com/p/DJHrndtOyB4/A painless, shot-free urine test could diagnose prostate cancer at its earliest, treatable stages.  Biochemists in Sweden, the UK, and China, led by those at the Karolinska Institute, studied mRNA activity in more than 2000 patients with and without prostate cancers.  They used AI to identify the proteins specific for prostate cancer that show up in the urine of those with this disease.Following this identification phase, the researchers now plan to further validate this urine prostatic cancer test in larger clinical trials.  Once this type of testing becomes the standard for prostatic cancer diagnosis, expect its use for monitoring following the medical and surgical therapeutic measures to eradicate prostate cancer.https://dx.doi.org/10.1158/0008-5472.CAN-25-0269https://medicalxpress.com/news/2025-04-urine-reveal-prostate-cancer.html#prostate #cancer #urine #screening #ai
