Researchers at the University of Texas at Dallas have developed a breakthrough breath-analyzer device capable of detecting lung cancer biomarkers with approximately 90% accuracy in early tests. The device could transform early detection of one of the deadliest cancers in the United States. The innovative breath-bag system collects exhaled air from patients and analyzes it for chemical markers linked to lung cancer. Early studies show that the test can reliably identify the disease even in initial stages, when treatment is most effective. Early detection is critical for improving survival rates in lung cancer, which is often diagnosed at an advanced…
Ruben Amorim accused his Manchester United side of becoming complacent after they let a dominant position slip in a 3-3 draw against Tottenham. United led for much of the match after Bryan Mbeumo’s first-half opener, but goals from Mathys Tel and Richarlison turned the game on its head before Matthijs de Ligt rescued a point with a 96th-minute header. While the dramatic equaliser extended United’s unbeaten run to five games, Amorim was unhappy with the team’s attitude. “We were comfortable in the game but I think we should do better, be more aggressive,” he said. “We felt too comfortable. Anything…
David Raya’s outstanding form continued as Arsenal equalled a 122-year club record for consecutive clean sheets during their 3-0 win over Slavia Prague. The Spanish goalkeeper has now gone nearly 13 hours without conceding, anchoring a run of eight straight shutouts across all competitions — the first time since 1903 the Gunners have achieved such a feat. Raya was barely troubled in Prague, with Slavia managing just one shot on target. Even so, he remained sharp — racing to the touchline to consult goalkeeping coach Iñaki Caña when a late penalty was awarded, only for VAR to overturn the decision.…
