Mitochondrial RNA is the set of RNA molecules made inside your mitochondria, the small structures in your cells that produce most of your energy. These RNA molecules carry out instructions from the small circle of DNA that mitochondria keep in their own compartment, separate from the DNA in your cell’s nucleus. In short, mitochondrial RNA … Read more

That single date becomes the anchor for your due date, your trimester boundaries, and every test and milestone that follows. If you know that date, you already have your starting point. If you don’t, an early ultrasound … Read more
A HIDA scan is a nuclear medicine imaging test that shows how well your gallbladder and bile ducts are working. It can help diagnose gallbladder inflammation, bile duct blockage, bile leaks, and a small number of other conditions tied to bile flow. The test does not diagnose most digestive problems, and it does not reliably … Read more

It is a sudden, intense sense that something catastrophic is about to happen — often without any clear reason.
