Today in one sentence: Scientists made a new vaccine that shielded mice from a hard-to-treat lung germ; a drug called tarlatamab helped people with tough lung cancer live extra months; giving chemo after (not during) radiation worked just as well for nose-and-throat cancer with fewer side effects; kids’ nearsightedness slowed when they wore night-time “reshaping” contacts plus tiny eye-drop doses; and a single healthy-microbe transplant cut dangerous superbugs in patients stuck on long-term antibiotics. Today’s Reframe chatter: “healthier” beverages, “cheap” continuous glucose monitoring, claude code now with agents…if you’d like to chat about how to improve your health and well-being esp with the help of AI, join the reframe community here! → https://forms.gle/tN3oabFTsDF21VnS8 https://reframedaily.beehiiv.com/p/reframe-daily-superbug-vaccine-tarlatamab-survival-boost-simpler-cancer-care-clearer-kid-vision-micr

Reframe Daily is where Christin Chong (neuroscience PhD, chaplain, healthtech strategy consultant) curates optimistic and credible healthtech news so you don’t have to. Today in one sentence: A common parasite pill kept more kids from getting malaria, direct texts to relatives boosted lifesaving DNA tests, a cholesterol drug helped chemo fight deadly brain tumors, a quick light scan in the ear spotted hearing problems sooner, and simply putting lotion on babies each day cut their chances of itchy eczema.

Cheat sheet on How To Listen Well * 66% REFLECTIONS: Replace any questions with a 5-word reflection * Emotions: you feel… * Values: it’s important to you that… * Exaggerate: you NEED to do it… * Express affirmations and strengths * 33% QUESTIONS: Ask mostly 5-word “what” questions * Notice conflict: I heard you saying this and then you say this, what is true about that? * Shift conversation b/t Engaging, Focusing, Evoking, Planning modes * Assume the first thing said isn’t really the thing at play * Generally evoke feelings more than plan * Keep it easy * Just pick up the last dangling thread, the last few words said * “What else? What do you mean?” * “What does this conversation mean for you today?”

Christin’s note: my dream is to build Reframe to take care of my friends when we get old, and their loved ones too. It’s so tough when many of us have aging parents and relatives! Pls pop into the Reframe community if this is something you’re thinking about too, and let’s support each other. Today’s Reframe community chatter: we welcomed new members, talked about sleep, cholesterol management, meditation practice, disputing insurance claims, and more. Join our fun chats about taking care of each other here → https://forms.gle/tN3oabFTsDF21VnS8 Today’s healthcare news in 1 sentence: A three-parent IVF trick helped babies avoid a serious gene disease, surgeons brought stopped hearts back to life for transplants, a common bone medicine eased hard-to-treat nerve pain, and a quick breath test could warn doctors early about lung scars after bad COVID. ---------- Good news: Doctors used a “three-parent” IVF method so eight babies were born without deadly energy-gene diseases—showing families a new, safe path to healthy kids. Mitochondrial Donation in a Reproductive-Care Pathway for mtDNA Disease – NEJM Market readiness: 🙂🙂🙂🙂 (already licensed and working in the UK; U.S. regulators still need to evaluate the technique) ---------- Good news: Surgeons “woke up” hearts donated after the heartbeat stopped and successfully transplanted them, hinting at a bigger donor pool that could save more lives. Rapid Recovery of Donor Hearts for Transplantation after Circulatory Death – NEJM Market readiness: 🙂🙂 (proved in only a few patients so far; larger trials and device tweaks are needed before everyday use) ---------- Good news: The bone drug pamidronate eased pain for two-thirds of people with complex regional pain syndrome after four months, giving doctors a low-cost helper already on pharmacy shelves. Evaluation of the Efficacy and Tolerance of Pamidronate in Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Type 1 – Scientific Reports Market readiness: 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂 (pamidronate is FDA-approved for other uses and can be prescribed off-label right away) ---------- Good news: A quick, painless breath test (FeNO) can flag people likely to develop lung scarring after severe COVID-19, letting doctors act sooner to protect lungs. FeNO as a Biomarker of Interstitial and Fibrotic Pulmonary Sequelae in Severe SARS-CoV-2 Pneumonia – Scientific Reports Market readiness: 🙂🙂🙂 (FeNO machines are common in clinics, but using them for post-COVID fibrosis needs bigger confirmation studies) Links 1. https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2503658 2. https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2500456 3. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-025-11356-5 4. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-025-09229-y Thank you for taking the time to reframe! Take care of yourself and your loved ones.

"There's no such thing as what is the best. Even you get the best quality of rice paper, which some old rice paper is very expensive, and some are, you know, very cheap paper, but sometimes you discover that when you use cheap materials, you can do some very special things. But with the high end of a paper supply, probably not, and brushes, too. So that's why I like to make my own brushes." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0sbQW9oeiF4&t=6s
