Salt Lake City – October 16, 2026 -- The Know Your Lemons Foundation has updated its Webby award-winning app with new games that teach breast self-exams and help users assess their personal risk to build a custom screening plan, a first for the app. The update arrives during Breast Cancer Awareness Month alongside the launch of the #Lemonista movement.

Two lemons, two goals: confidence and intelligence

The app now awards two lemons through a series of games. One lemon stands for Confidence in knowing your body. The other stands for Intelligence in knowing your personal risk and screening plan. Earn both and you officially become a Lemonista.

Lemonistas can share a two-lemon symbol on social media to show their improved breast cancer awareness. Actor Carrie Preston of CBS's Elsbeth, Christine Handy of the Hello Beautiful movie, and breast cancer radiologist Dr. Anjali Malik have added the symbol to their profiles.

Irvine, Calif. – October 15, 2026 -- People living with arthritis can join the free "Whole Body Healing for Arthritis" webinar today at 7 p.m. ET, hosted by the Arthritis Foundation and sponsored by 1MD Nutrition.

Board-certified rheumatologist Adam Kreitenberg, MD, who is also a physician formulator at 1MD Nutrition, leads the session. It covers how to pair medical care with healthy lifestyle habits, emotional wellness strategies and appropriate complementary therapies.

Nearly 60 million people in the U.S. have an arthritis diagnosis

That figure includes adults and children, and the effects go beyond joint pain. Fatigue, disrupted sleep and emotional strain can make everyday activities harder, so care needs to address overall well-being. Kreitenberg says "managing arthritis is a long game," and he points to everyday factors people can influence: how they move, eat, sleep and manage stress.

Boca Raton – October 15, 2026 -- Patients considering cosmetic dentistry in Boca Raton can preview their results with a digital mock-up before any procedure begins, according to a HelloNation article featuring Dr. Michael Cohen of Big Boca Smiles.

Photos and scans build the digital preview

Smile design starts well before any dental work. Dentists collect detailed photographs and digital scans to evaluate a patient's teeth and facial structure. That data becomes the digital mock-up, a preview of the expected result.

Patients give feedback before treatment starts

Seeing the future smile up front makes outcomes more predictable and reduces uncertainty, the article explains. Patients can share feedback early, so the final design reflects their preferences. Reviewing the mock-up in advance also lets the dentist and patient make adjustments before treatment begins, which helps limit unexpected issues.

Kildeer – October 15, 2026 -- Amped Fitness is bringing Amped Universe, a gym split into eight themed worlds, to 20771 N. Rand Road in Kildeer, Illinois. The opening date, memberships and presale have not been announced yet.

The concept borrows from amusement park design. Members pass through portals into separate environments rather than walking past rows of equipment on one continuous floor.

Eight worlds replace one gym floor

Each destination is built around a different kind of workout:

Minneapolis – October 15, 2026 -- Men in the U.S. can now get Roxus, a prescription nasal spray for erectile dysfunction (ED), through the telemedicine platform Mavrox, which ships it to their door.

Roxus comes from Australian pharmaceutical company LTR Pharma (ASX: LTP). It delivers vardenafil, the same type of ED medicine as Viagra, which has been used in tablets for more than 20 years. Instead of a pill, it uses LTR's proprietary intranasal spray technology.

Peak blood levels arrive in about 10 minutes in company studies

Roxus uses the same intranasal vardenafil formulation as SPONTAN, LTR's nasal spray that has been prescribed in Australia for the past two years. In clinical studies, including a peer-reviewed Phase 1 study, the spray reached peak blood levels in a median of about 10 minutes. Vardenafil tablets take 45 to 60 minutes.
