When discussing a deal with India, US President Donald Trump told reporters, "India is coming along great." I believe we will reach an agreement with India. In addition to praising his first agreement with a foreign trading partner, U.S. President Donald Trump issued two orders on Tuesday to lessen the impact of his auto tariffs. The orders included a combination of credits and relief from other taxes on goods. The president's visit to Michigan, the birthplace of the American car industry, just days before a new set of 25% import duties on auto parts was about to take effect, helped allay investor concerns about Trump's unpredictable trade policy. On the eve of his 100th day in office, the trip coincided with Americans' growing disenchantment with Trump's economic leadership due to signs that his tariffs will hinder growth and may increase unemployment and inflation. The Republican president agreed to give automakers two years to increase the proportion of...

Early fertility testing is becoming crucial to empowering prompt decisions and safeguarding future fertility as the number of women in their 20s with poor ovarian reserve increases. Women in their late 30s and 40s are no longer the only ones who have discussions about fertility in today's fast-paced society. Young women in their 20s are increasingly dealing with unforeseen difficulties, especially a worrying increase in low ovarian reserve, a disorder that impairs a woman's capacity to conceive naturally. Early fertility awareness is more important than ever, according to experts, as a mix of lifestyle variables, environmental exposures, and changing societal priorities are responsible for the shift. "It's surprising and concerning that more young women in their 20s are receiving diagnoses for low ovarian reserve," says Dr. Priya SP Patil, consultant obstetrician and gynecologist at Altius Hospital in Rajajinagar, Bangalore. She emphasizes that stress and lifest...

According to study published online in the journal cardiac, walking at a brisk pace and for a longer period of time may reduce the incidence of cardiac rhythm disorders such atrial fibrillation, tachycardia (rapid heartbeat), and bradycardia (extremely slow heartbeat). The results were true regardless of established cardiovascular risk factors, but they were more pronounced in women, those under 60, people without obesity, and people with long-term medical issues. The authors point out that heart rhythm irregularities, or arrhythmias, are frequent; atrial fibrillation alone has doubled in prevalence during the last three decades, reaching close to 60 million instances globally in 2019. They say that identifying modifiable risk factors is crucial to preventing the negative impact on health because these abnormalities are linked to increased risks of cardiovascular disease, sudden cardiac death, and disability. Few research have examined walking pace's possible effect on irregula...

Diabetes affects about 830 million individuals worldwide. Doctors have just recognized a new type of diabetes that is formally referred to as "type 5 diabetes." The International Diabetes Federation (IDF) announced Type 5 diabetes during the 2025 World Diabetes Congress in Bangkok. Up to 25 million people worldwide have been afflicted by the illness. Unlike patients with type 1 diabetes, these patients might not require insulin. Patients with type 1 diabetes require insulin injections in order to regulate their blood sugar levels. In type 1 diabetes, the pancreas produces no insulin at all. Dr. Meredith Hawkins, a scientist, claims that this kind of diabetes has long been prevalent in nations in Asia and Africa. The illness was mistakenly classified as either type 1 or type 2 diabetes. This illness now has its own category as a result of increased research. Type 5 diabetes: what is it? Malnutrition-related diabetes is another name for this kind of diabetes. People who ha...

Bananas are the most straightforward remedy that nature has given us. One of those cunning health conditions that, if left untreated, can cause long-term harm is high blood pressure (BP). It whispers rather than yells, and you can already be coping with the fallout by the time you recognize that something is off. The good news? Nowadays, doctors actively advise persons with high blood pressure to consume one banana or more each day.

Following the most recent missile attacks, the last operational hospital in northern Gaza is currently closed.

With a lengthy tradition of taciturn diplomacy, Muscat prefers to work in the background, but hosting Saturday's crucial negotiations has thrown it into the spotlight. MUSCAT, Oman (AP) — Once more, in this sleepy seaside city devoid of skyscrapers, some of the most important issues in Middle East geopolitics will be tackled. Iran and the United States will meet for the first time since US President Donald Trump started his second term to discuss Tehran's quickly developing nuclear program here in Muscat, the capital of Oman, which is tucked away against the high stone heights of the Hajar Mountains. Although an immediate accord is unlikely, the stakes for these two countries approaching a half-century of hostility are extremely high. If an agreement is not struck, Trump has frequently threatened to launch airstrikes against Iran's nuclear program. Iranian officials are warning more and more that their uranium stockpile, which has been enriched to levels close to weapons...

According to CLSA, given their large market share, Indian pharmaceutical companies are likely to pass on the costs even if tariffs are applied. Pharmaceutical stocks suffered in trading on April 9 after U.S. President Donald Trump reaffirmed his plans to put high tariffs on pharmaceutical imports in an effort to reshore drug manufacturing to the U.S. The Nifty Pharma index has plummeted 14% in the last six months. “We’re going to be doing something very big on drug imports — a major tariff is coming,” Trump told the audience. “We want these companies to make their products here, in America, not in China or elsewhere.” Speaking at an event hosted by the National Republican Congressional Committee, Trump said the move is intended to reduce American dependence on foreign drug supplies and revitalise domestic pharmaceutical production. However, Trump did not provide specific details on the scale or timeline of the proposed tariffs. This is anticipated to considerably hurt domestic phar...

China's commerce ministry denounced the US tariffs as errors and pledged to oppose them. The ministry urged respectful dialogue after Trump threatened to impose a 50% tax unless China retracted its 34% duty. If the US moves forward, China vows to retaliate. After President Donald Trump threatened to put extra 50% tariffs on imports from the second-largest economy in the world, China's commerce ministry announced on Tuesday that it will fight US tariffs "to the end." According to Bloomberg, a ministry spokeswoman criticized the US action, calling it "a mistake on top of a mistake" that demonstrates America's propensity for using blackmail. "This will never be accepted in China," the official said. The representative went on to say, "China will fight it to the end if the US insists on going its own way." A representative for China's commerce ministry urged the United States to resolve its differences with China through equal a...

A Nintendo spokesperson confirmed the delay on Friday, stating that the company needs more time to determine how these tariffs might affect costs and market conditions. However, there is some good news: the Switch 2 is still scheduled to launch in the US on June 5th, priced at $450 (nearly ₹38,435). Nintendo fans who were eager to lock in their Switch 2 pre-orders will have to wait a little longer. The gaming giant has halted pre-orders, which were originally set for April 9th, due to concerns over new global tariffs announced by US President Donald Trump. As for when pre-orders will actually open, that is still up in the air. Increases in US tariffs The postponement follows Trump's announcement of significant new tariffs a few days earlier, including a huge 46% penalty on Vietnamese goods and a 24% tax on Japanese imports. These adjustments may have a big effect on Nintendo's plans because the business has been moving more of its production to Vietnam. During an hour-long liv...

"There was Altair BASIC before there was Office, Windows 95, Xbox, or AI," Bill Gates wrote. Fifty years ago, Bill Gates and his childhood friend Paul Allen founded a company called “Micro-Soft” in a strip mall in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Half a century later, the company has cemented its place among tech giants and ranks as the world’s second-largest company. Currently, the only company with a higher market cap is Apple, maker of the ubiquitous iPhone. While Microsoft is reflecting on its past successes in honor of its 50-year anniversary this April, including Gates sharing the company’s original source code , the tech giant is also hustling to secure its place among the leaders of the artificial intelligence revolution. After largely missing the boat on smartphones and the shift to mobile devices, Microsoft is hoping to avoid a repeat of this mistake and instead dominate the fields of cloud computing and generative AI . Microsoft still dominates office software and operati...
