A new survey by the Migraine Trust has found significant inequalities in migraine care across the UK, with people from ethnic minority backgrounds far more likely to report poor treatment, racism and fear of discrimination. Among 2,200 respondents, 23% of mixed-ethnicity, 19% of Asian and 16% of Black participants said their ethnicity had negatively affected their care, compared with just 7% of white respondents. Black respondents were also more likely to fear discrimination at work due to migraines, and many Asian and Black respondents said they sometimes worried they would not be believed about their symptoms. The charity highlighted stories…

Scientists report that orange juice influences the body far more than many people assume.Researchers observed that regular orange juice intake alters the activity of thousands of genes in immune cells.These genes regulate blood pressure, curb inflammation and manage sugar processing, which all support cardiovascular health.David C. Gaze from the University of Westminster described these biological shifts in detail through research examples. Daily Intake Triggers Noticeable Genetic Changes Adults consumed 500 ml of pure pasteurised orange juice each day for two months in a recent study.After 60 days, inflammation-linked genes such as NAMPT, IL6, IL1B and NLRP3 showed reduced activity.The SGK1…
Mikel Arteta says Arsenal are well equipped to handle further injury setbacks after confirming Kai Havertz will remain sidelined for a few more weeks. The forward, out since August following knee surgery, had hoped to return earlier this month but was unable to progress in his rehabilitation.

Gabriel Jesus is also nearing a comeback after an 11-month absence. There are additional concerns over William Saliba and Leandro Trossard, who missed…
NVIDIA has unveiled Alpamayo‑R1, a groundbreaking open-source model designed for autonomous driving. The new vision-language-action (VLA) model enables vehicles to perceive road scenes, interpret context, and plan safe driving maneuvers, marking a major step in physical AI. Alpamayo‑R1 allows cars to “see” and understand complex traffic environments. It can detect obstacles, recognize road signs, anticipate pedestrian movements, and make driving decisions based on real-world conditions. By combining visual input with reasoning capabilities, the model enhances safety and reliability for autonomous vehicles. The model represents a milestone in “physical AI,” a field where artificial intelligence interacts with real-world environments. NVIDIA hopes…
