The program 'With the Wise One' recently showcased exclusive research warning about severe health risks posed by nicotine pouches, which have gained popularity as a perceived safer alternative to smoking. The study indicates that frequent use of these pouches may lead to dangerous cellular changes that increase the likelihood of cancer, contradicting their marketed safety. This finding is especially concerning, given the rising trend among users who regard these pouches as a harmless substitute for smoking.

In a broader context of global health warnings, the program also discussed the alarming spread of the Nipah virus across several Asian nations, following reports of new infections. This resurgence of concern surrounding the highly dangerous virus has prompted medical authorities to issue travel advisories to certain Asian regions, emphasizing the need for strict adherence to health safety measures. The Nipah virus is particularly notorious for its high mortality rate, and currently, there is no specific treatment available, raising red flags about potential outbreaks.

On a positive note, the program highlighted advancements in medical science, specifically in ophthalmology, where artificial intelligence is playing a significant role in the early diagnosis of retinal diseases and glaucoma. This development was presented during a regional conference held in Doha, showcasing how AI technology is enhancing the accuracy of treatment decisions and improving patient outcomes in eye care.
