American College of Diabetology Announces Formal Taxonomy Classification for Diabetology
WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The American College of Diabetology (ACD) announced that Diabetology has received formal recognition through the assignment of a unique taxonomy classification. This marks a historic milestone for the field, affirming the specialized expertise of physicians who focus exclusively or primarily on diabetes care. 'This recognition is about formally naming a field that already exists in practice — one where clinicians devote their careers to comprehensive, patient-centered diabetes care,' said Dr. Lenny Salzberg, Chair of the American College of Diabetology. 'With over 37 million Americans living with diabetes, this taxonomy brings long-overdue visibility to the work of diabetologists and builds a stronger foundation for the future of diabetes care.' Diabetology is the specialty focused on the full continuum of diabetes care — encompassing diagnosis, treatment, prevention, technology integration, education, and cardiometabolic management. While it intersects with endocrinology, primary care, and public health, diabetology is uniquely defined by its depth and focus on diabetes alone. The growing burden of diabetes has outpaced the healthcare system's ability to respond. Recognizing diabetology through taxonomy strengthens the pipeline of diabetes-focused clinicians, enables standard-setting, and supports certification, research alignment, and policy development. It also enhances clarity for patients, payers, and health systems regarding who is qualified to lead comprehensive diabetes care. The taxonomy is designed to complement the work of endocrinologists and primary care providers, not compete with them. Diabetology creates new pathways to expand access to high-quality care in both community and high-volume settings — ensuring that patients receive timely, expert support no matter where they live. 'This isn't about creating silos — it's about recognizing diverse multidisciplinary care teams,' added Dr. Salzberg. 'We are expanding the reach of evidence-based diabetes care, and this taxonomy strengthens the identity of all who serve in that mission.' About the American College of Diabetology The American College of Diabetology (ACD) is the national professional organization representing clinicians who specialize in diabetes care. ACD advances clinical excellence and education to improve the lives of those affected by diabetes. Through leadership and strategic partnerships, ACD promotes the growth of diabetology as a recognized specialty and supports efforts to expand access to high-quality care across the United States.

Map Shows 25 States That Will Feel Hotter Than Death Valley Today
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. On Friday, millions of Americans across at least 25 states are expected to feel conditions hotter than those in Death Valley—often referred to as the hottest place on Earth—with the National Weather Service (NWS) issuing heat-related alerts for swaths of the country. Why It Matters The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says that extreme heat can lead to heat-related illnesses, especially for older adults, young children, and individuals with chronic medical conditions. Symptoms can include heavy sweating, muscle cramps, dizziness, and nausea. The agency reports that extreme heat is responsible for over 700 deaths in the U.S. each year. Moreover, rising temperatures can worsen ground-level ozone pollution, potentially compounding existing health risks. What To Know According to Friday's forecast for Furnace Creek—a community within Death Valley—heat index values, which reflect how hot it feels to the human body when temperature and humidity are considered, were expected to peak at around 101 degrees here. Meanwhile, extreme heat warnings—issued by the NWS when "extremely dangerous heat conditions are expected or occurring"—spanned Illinois, Missouri, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware on Friday, where heat index values were expected to exceed 100. The service forecast that Monroe and Saint Clair counties in Illinois, as well as Franklin, Jefferson, Saint Charles, and Saint Louis counties in Missouri could see index values up to 114 degrees over the coming days. Dangerous heat is forecast to expand into the Southeast this weekend, while lingering across the Ohio Valley and Mid-South. Little relief will be available overnight as lows only drop into the upper 70s. Be sure to follow proper heat safety! 🥵 — NWS Weather Prediction Center (@NWSWPC) July 24, 2025 Elsewhere, heat advisories spanning the following states on Friday warned that heat index values could surpass 100 degrees in some areas: South Dakota Kansas Oklahoma Texas Arkansas Louisiana Mississippi Tennessee Indiana Kentucky Ohio West Virginia Virginia North Carolina South Carolina Maryland New York Connecticut Rhode Island Massachusetts What People Are Saying NWS St. Louis, Missouri, said on X, Wednesday: "For most areas, the next two days will be the most uncomfortable days of the summer. Heat index values will range from 97-111+, with the highest values found in the St. Louis metro and southern areas." NWS Philadelphia/Mount Holly said on X, Wednesday: "Dangerous heat and humidity will return Friday with heat indices near 100-105° expected. There will also be a threat of scattered severe thunderstorms, with locally damaging winds being the main hazard." NWS Fort Worth, Texas, said on X, Friday: "A Heat Advisory is in effect for much of North and East TX today with potential heat indices up to 107 degrees. Hot and humid conditions will persist into the weekend with rain chances returning to parts of Central and East TX this afternoon and Saturday afternoon." What Happens Next The NWS issues regular forecast updates on its website.

Lilly Gets Limited European Backing for Alzheimer's Disease Drug
Eli Lilly & Co. won the backing of European Union regulators for its Alzheimer's disease drug Kisunla in a specific group of patients, potentially paving the way for it to become the second drug in the region to slow the most common cause of dementia in the elderly. The European Medicines Agency 's drug advisory panel recommended granting a marketing authorization for Kisunla in patients who don't carry a specific gene that can increase the risk of a potentially fatal brain-swelling condition called ARIA. In the US, the medicine is approved for a much wider group of patients. The EU previously approved a similar medicine from Eisai Co. and Biogen Inc called Leqembi though its use was also limited to patients at lower risk for brain swelling.
