Looking back, some experts believe the path to Biden’s dropout began with what was widely described as a disastrous debate performance in late June, during which the president seemed to display an unclear train of thought and a lack of coherence."President Biden has shown signs of cognitive impairment for many years," Dr. Brett Osborn, a Florida neurosurgeon who specializes in cognitive function, told Fox News Digital on Sunday. He has not treated Biden or advised him. JOE BIDEN WITH COVID AT AGE 81: WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT THE RISK THE VIRUS POSES TO OLDER ADULTS"It is medically probable that when he took office in 2020, he was afflicted by mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a gateway syndrome to Alzheimer’s disease and potentially Parkinsonism (not necessarily Parkinson’s disease itself)," Osborn said. "And he has only deteriorated since then, as is typical of those with neurodegenerative diseases."‘Prudent’ decisionGiven signs of his "ailing cognitive status, President Biden's decision to step down from the race seems prudent," said Osborn, expressing his professional opinion. "By stepping down, President Biden can prioritize his health and potentially mitigate further cognitive decline," said a neurosurgeon specializing in cognitive function. (Saul Loeb/AFP via Getty Images)"In my opinion, he is unfit to run the country and is unsuitable for his duties as commander-in-chief," he said."By stepping down, President Biden can prioritize his health and potentially mitigate further cognitive decline, while also ensuring the leadership role is filled by someone fully capable of handling the demanding responsibilities of the position."DOCTORS EXPRESS CONCERN ABOUT BIDEN’S APPARENT COGNITIVE ISSUES DURING DEBATE: 'TROUBLING INDICATORS'Dr. Marc Siegel, clinical professor of medicine at NYU Langone Medical Center and a Fox News medical contributor, said he believes Biden’s decision may be best for the president’s health."The stress of the race could have definitely made cognition worse — but it will progress anyway if there is a cognitive issue, and fitness is a big concern," the doctor told Fox News Digital on Sunday. (Siegel has said on multiple occasions that he has not examined or treated the president and that he cannot make any definitive diagnoses.) Dr. Marc Siegel, clinical professor of medicine at NYU Langone Medical Center and a Fox News medical contributor, said he believes Biden’s decision to leave the 2024 presidential race was best for the president’s health. (Fox News)Osborn also emphasized that remaining in the presidential race could have been "detrimental" to Biden's mental and physical health. "Chronic stress releases cortisol, the dominant stress hormone of the body, which can negatively impact the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain, leading to further deterioration," Osborn told Fox News Digital."In my opinion, he is unfit to run the country and is unsuitable for his duties as commander-in-chief." — Neurosurgeon Dr. Brett OsbornBiden’s past brain surgeries could also have affected his cognitive function, according to Osborn."It is likely that the combination of the two brain surgeries and his [possible] neurodegenerative diseases, plus the added stress of the Oval Office, have markedly accelerated the deterioration of his already ailing brain," he said. "President Biden has shown signs of cognitive impairment for many years," Dr. Brett Osborn, a Florida neurosurgeon who specializes in cognitive function, told Fox News Digital. (Dr. Brett Osborn)"Another term [was] not even a consideration, in my opinion. By 2028, he will categorically be a ‘nursing home patient.’"In addition to cognitive concerns, the doctors also discussed Biden’s recent bout with COVID-19.EXPERIMENTAL ALZHEIMER’S DRUG GETS FDA ADVISORY PANEL'S THUMBS-UP: ‘PROGRESS IS HAPPENING’"Post-COVID syndromes and long COVID have been shown to affect underlying neurological conditions," Siegel warned. "This can also come from recurrent COVID." "Another term [was] not even a consideration, in my opinion," a neurosurgeon told Fox News Digital about Biden. (Demetrius Freeman/The Washington Post via Getty Images)Regarding COVID, Osborn noted that the virus has been shown to have potential long-term effects on cognitive function, often referred to as "brain fog." "These effects can include difficulties with memory, attention and executive function," he said. "Post-COVID syndromes and long COVID have been shown to affect underlying neurological conditions." — Dr. Marc Siegel"In someone with pre-existing cognitive issues like President Biden, contracting COVID-19 could exacerbate these symptoms – via neuroinflammation – and lead to a more rapid decline."CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP Osborn also suggested that the president’s contracting COVID was used as an "exit strategy.""It accelerated his, but more likely their, decision to vacate his run for the presidency," the doctor surmised.Health as a qualifying factorAlong with meeting the official requirements — that the president must be a natural-born citizen, must be at least 35 years of age, and must have lived in the country for at least 14 years — both doctors agreed that the individual should also be physically and cognitively healthy."It is extremely important," Siegel told Fox News Digital. "We have a right to it as a country."The role of president involves making complex and high-stakes decisions, often under significant pressure, Osborn noted. "Cognitive health is essential for clear thinking, effective communication and sound decision-making, all things President Biden lacks," he said, sharing his viewpoint. "They should admit to what they know and reveal full neurological results." — Dr. Marc SiegelPhysical health is also essential, Osborn said, as the role also requires long hours, frequent travel and crisis management.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTER"A healthy president is better equipped to handle the demands of the office and to lead the nation effectively through various challenges," he added.Need ‘full health disclosures’In light of Biden’s announcement to exit the race, Siegel said the decision "should be accompanied by a full health disclosure."He said, "They should admit to what they know and reveal full neurological results." In light of Biden’s announcement to exit the race, Siegel said the decision "should be accompanied by a full health disclosure." (Getty Images | iStock)The situation highlights the need for thorough health evaluations for presidential candidates – and sitting presidents — to ensure they can perform their required duties, according to Osborn. "Routine testing – physical and mental – should be made non-negotiable instead of being thwarted by the governing party," he said. "The allowance of President Biden’s mental incompetence for four years is an embarrassment to the United States government, and the world has borne witness."In response to outreach from Fox News Digital, the White House press office stated that "health was not a factor" in the president's decision to withdraw from the race. Biden is continuing his course of Paxlovid and his COVID symptoms have "significantly" improved, according to the president's physician.

Authorities identified the suspects as two Venezuelan nationals — Johan Jose Martinez-Rangel, 21, and Franklin Jose Peña Ramos, 26.Authorities previously confirmed the pair illegally entered the U.S. earlier this year.Harris' visit to Houston came as the vice president began a whirlwind campaign tour after President Biden announced he would not seek re-election.DEM WHO CRITICIZED VP HARRIS' HANDLING OF SOUTHERN BORDER ENDORSES HER FOR PRESIDENT Vice President Kamala Harris addresses the members of the American Federation of Teachers at George R.

The American Federation of Teachers is the first labor union to endorse Harris for president since she announced her campaign. (Montinique Monroe/Getty Images)TRUMP EYES MULTIPLE BORDER VISITS AS HE DRAWS CONTRAST WITH 'RADICAL LEFT' HARRISHarris' address highlighted her campaign hot-button topics, which included key parts of the Democratic Party platform, such as eliminating voter ID to expand mail-in voting, banning assault rifles, protecting LGBTQ+ rights and restoring national access to abortion."In this moment across our nation, we witness a full-on attack on hard-won, hard-fought freedoms," said Harris. "In this moment, we are in a fight for our most fundamental freedoms. And to this room of leaders, I say bring it on. Bring it on. Bring it on."

(KRIV)Harris' visit notably did not include a visit to Nungaray's grieving parents who, since her death, have pleaded for a "safer country" and called for heightened border security to prevent other families from suffering the same fate."We have to stop burying our kids," Jocelyn's mother, Alexis Nungaray, said tearfully on "Hannity." "This isn’t right. We have to have more reinforcement when it comes to letting people in. This is not OK."Jocelyn's grandfather, Kelvin Alvarenga, turned his attention directly to lawmakers."Think about all these little angels that shouldn't have been taken away." — Kelvin Alvarenga, grandfather of Jocelyn Nungaray"I would like the people that can make changes to our laws to just sit back and reflect," Alvarenga said. "I don’t know if we can transmit the pain that we’re having through cameras, but please sit back and reflect and think of all these little angels that shouldn’t have been taken away, and they have for the reason that we’re not doing what we need to, screening these people."

(Allison Joyce/AFP via Getty Images)"Screening these people" fell under Harris' charge as "border czar" for the Biden administration."Border czar" is an informal title widely granted to Harris in 2021 when Biden appointed her to handle the "root causes" of illegal immigration.In July 2021, she introduced a five-point general strategy to combat those "root causes" of illegal immigration. The plan did not include specific policies, but instead called for "diplomacy, foreign assistance, public diplomacy and sanctions" to "establish a fair, orderly and humane immigration system."TRUMP SLAMS BIDEN'S 'TERRIBLE' OVAL OFFICE ADDRESS ON ABRUPT EXIT FROM 2024 RACE: 'IT WAS A COUP'The document emphasized the "push" factors of migration, including natural disasters in Central America, poverty, hunger, and gang violence, each of which contributes to people leaving their homes in search of a better life in America. "In Central America, the root causes of migration run deep — and migration from the region has a direct impact on the United States," Harris said at the time. "For that reason, our nation must consistently engage with the region to address the hardships that cause people to leave Central America and come to our border."WATCH:The Biden administration has pushed back against categorizing Harris as the "border czar," saying the vice president was never formally given that title.BLUE CITY COPS SAY KAMALA HARRIS ‘HELPED’ KILLERS AND RAPISTS, WARN OF ‘DISASTER’ IF SHE BECOMES PRESIDENT"[Border apprehensions] are down by 55%. Not because of Republicans and what they did. It's because of what this president and this vice president did," White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told Fox News' Peter Doocy when pressed on Harris' title. "We are going to debunk the false characterization of the vice president. She was not a border czar. And it's not just us. Independent fact-checkers have said the same thing — that that did not exist, and that is not true." Texas Gov. Greg Abbott speaks at the Republican National Convention at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee July 17, 2024. (Reuters/Callaghan O'hare)Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott torched Harris' visit to Houston, saying she "couldn't trouble herself" to visit the southern border."Kamala Harris flew to Houston for a political rally, but couldn't trouble herself to go a few hundred miles more & see the damage she caused to our border," Abbott wrote in a post on X."She refused to mention Jocelyn Nungaray who was recently killed by illegal immigrants in Houston."

A virtual meeting dubbed "White Dudes for Harris" plans to hold a call on Monday to drum up excitement for Vice President Kamala Harris’ election bid. "Over 10,000 white men from all across the country are expected to join the effort this week and will be on hand to welcome Vice President Harris to the presidential race and pledge to help get her elected," organizers said on a sign-up form for the call. The call comes after 164,000 White women broke the world record for largest Zoom call on Thursday, all hopping on a meeting to show support for Vice President Harris’ presidential campaign.The massive remote meeting – advertised as "White Women: Answer the Call" – featured multiple celebrity guests like U.S. Women’s Soccer star Megan Rapinoe, musician Pink, and actress Connie Britton, some of whom spoke to a horde of specifically White women, hoping to shore up support for the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee.DEM WHO CRITICIZED VP HARRIS' HANDLING OF SOUTHERN BORDER ENDORSES HER FOR PRESIDENT A virtual meeting dubbed "White Dudes for Harris" plans to hold a call on Monday to drum up excitement for Vice President Kamala Harris’ election bid following other calls that included White women, Black men and Black women.

That event had around 44,000 attendees and raised more than $1.5 million for the Harris campaign, The Guardian reported.On Monday, more than 50,000 Black men also held a call in support of Harris. Shannon Watts, the founder of gun-control advocacy group "Moms Demand Action" organized Thursday’s record-breaking meeting.

"It was seismic. Cosmic, even. And since then—have you seen it? Have you seen Kamala glisten in the brilliance and shine of her true power and leadership? And what does that feel like? Feels like self-love."Watts, who also spoke on the call, called out White women for their previous voting patterns, stating, "The bad news is that a majority of White women vote for Republicans, because too many of us believe, subconsciously, that it is in our best interest to use our privilege and our support systems of White supremacy and the patriarchy to benefit us."

Artificial intelligence is outpacing doctors when it comes to detecting a common cancer in men.A new study from UCLA found that an AI tool identified prostate cancer with 84% accuracy — compared to 67% accuracy for cases detected by physicians, according to a press release from the university.Unfold AI, made by Avenda Health in California — a software recently cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration — uses an AI algorithm to visualize the likelihood of cancer based on various types of clinical data. WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE?In the study, a team of seven urologists and three radiologists analyzed 50 cases where tumors had been removed, looking for signs of residual cancer. A few months later, the AI software performed the same analysis. A new study from UCLA found that an AI tool identified prostate cancer with 84% accuracy — compared to 67% accuracy for cases detected by physicians. (iStock)The "negative margin rate" — a medical term that describes the absence of cancer cells surrounding the removed tissue — was 45 times greater in AI-detected cases, so the chances of cancer being left behind was far less.Ali Kasraeian, M.D., a urologist at Kasraeian Urology in Jacksonville, Florida, said he uses the Unfold AI technology in his consultations with patients about managing their prostate cancer.AI COULD PREDICT WHETHER CANCER TREATMENTS WILL WORK, EXPERTS SAY: ‘EXCITING TIME IN MEDICINE'"The AI takes the information that we currently have about a patient's prostate cancer — like their pathology, imaging and biopsy results — and creates a 3D cancer estimation map," he told Fox News Digital via email. "The results we get from Unfold AI tell us if a patient will be better suited for focal therapy or more radical therapy, such as radical prostatectomy, or radiation therapy, ensuring we optimize their cancer cure, the personalization of their cancer care, and their quality of life goals.""AI is our new diagnostic ally — but like any tool, it works best in human hands."

Here are five others. Presidents Woodrow Wilson, left, Franklin D. Roosevelt, center, and Theodore Roosevelt all experienced health issues while in office. (Getty Images)1. Chester A. Arthur (21st president, 1881-1885)After he became America’s 21st president in 1881, Chester Arthur experienced health complications due to malaria, which remained endemic in Washington, D.C., throughout the 19th century, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH).In 1882, Arthur continued to suffer from progressive fatigue, extreme weight loss and peripheral edema, the NIH reported.JOE BIDEN WITH COVID AT AGE 81: WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT THE RISK THE VIRUS POSES TO OLDER ADULTSAfter a closer health inspection, Arthur was diagnosed with Bright’s disease, today known as chronic kidney disease.

(Glasshouse Vintage/Universal History Archive/Universal Images Group via Getty Images)The president’s health worsened during his last two years in office, with reported symptoms of fluid retention, rigors (shaking or shivering), nausea and colicky abdominal pain.As the 1884 election inched closer, Arthur sought a second term — but lost the Republican nomination to James G.

The NBA rejected a bid from Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) to exercise its right to match an offer from Amazon for a part of the league's 11-year, $76 billion media rights deal Wednesday.Less than 48 hours after the announcement, WBD, TNT's parent company, filed a lawsuit under seal in New York County Supreme Court.Charles Barkley, the Hall of Famer and longtime co-host of TNT's popular "Inside the NBA," reacted to the company's failed attempt to renew media rights. "Clearly the NBA has wanted to break up with us from the beginning. I'm not sure TNT ever had a chance," he wrote in a statement. In June, Barkley revealed his intention to retire at the conclusion of the 2024-25 NBA season. On Friday, he hinted he was open to other opportunities.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM Charles Barkley speaks onstage Feb. 12, 2015, in New York City. (Stephen Lovekin/Getty Images for American Express)"I have spoken to all three networks. … I have spoke to three networks," Barkley said Friday during an appearance on the "Dan Patrick Show." When Patrick asked whether Barkley would follow through with his retirement plans since he was fielding calls from other media companies, the NBA legend said he was "going to listen" to what the networks had to say.'INSIDE THE NBA' HOST CHARLES BARKLEY HINTS SPLIT WITH LEAGUE WAS INEVITABLE: 'NOT SURE TNT EVER HAD A CHANCE'"First of all, I'd be stupid not to take their call, but the beauty of this situation … I don't have to make any decision for a year, Dan," Barkley said. "But I told all three networks, ‘Hey I’m honored. I'm flattered that ya’ll want to talk to me, but let's see what happens in a year."In May, the Sports Business Journal reported that Barkley has a clause in his contract that allows him to go elsewhere once the network's NBA deal runs out.

(Brandon Todd/NBAE via Getty Images)Barkley confirmed the terms of his lucrative contract with TNT and revealed the deal is structured in a way that allows him to become a free agent once the 2024-25 NBA season ends."My deal is ten years, $210 million. Next year will be year three," Barkley told Patrick. "Turner has to come to me today or next week and say, ‘Hey, we screwed up. Will you take a payout?’ So, they are going to have to guarantee the whole ten years, $210 (million), or they are going to have to ask me to take a pay cut, which, under no circumstances am I taking a pay cut. Zero chances of me taking a pay cut."He added that while he anticipates being a highly sought media personality next year, he also reaffirmed his intention to bring his broadcasting career to a close."But I don't see them (TNT) guaranteeing it to be honest because they don't really have anything. So, I think I'm going to be a free agent next summer. Right now, my intention is to retire." A basketball on the court next to an NBA logo during a break in the first half of a game in Las Vegas.

Dengue has spiked worldwide. The World Health Organization declared it an emergency in December as cases have globally increased tenfold over the last generation.The United Arab Emirates have issued many warnings about dengue. Mosquitoes spread dengue and have flourished in the UAE after it experienced record-setting rainfall.While the UAE did not answer questions regarding the number of cases, activists say that laborers are being hit the hardest by the virus.Since the United Arab Emirates witnessed its heaviest recorded rainfall ever three months ago, the desert nation has issued a multitude of warnings about dengue which, activists say, has surged and struck hardest among the vast populations of laborers.The tropical disease, spread by mosquitoes, has witnessed a worldwide spike. The World Health Organization declared it an emergency in December as cases have globally increased tenfold over the last generation.Many people infected by the virus are asymptomatic, but some experience headaches, fever and flu-like symptoms. Severe cases can lead to serious bleeding, shock and death.LOCAL DENGUE FEVER CASES CONFIRMED IN FLORIDA KEYS, SPREAD BY MOSQUITO BITESIn the UAE, a federation of seven sheikhdoms, the disease has usually spread due to travel on long-haul carriers into the country. However, on April 25, the Department of Health alerted that locally transmitted cases without travel history have been documented since 2023 "as a result of climate change and an environment conducive to mosquito breeding."Changes in weather patterns turn countries previously inhospitable to Dengue-carrying mosquitoes into possible habitats.The April deluges, which flooded portions of major highways and Dubai’s international airport, only amplified the risk in the Gulf country. While major thoroughfares quickly saw vacuum pumps arrive, others remained saddled for weeks with stagnant pools of water, where virus-carrying mosquitoes lay their eggs and spread the disease.

(AP Photo/Christopher Pike, File)No official figures have been shared in the Emirates where broad laws severely restrict freedom of speech and almost all major local media are either state-owned or state-affiliated outlets. Queries sent to various governmental organizations about the exact number of confirmed dengue cases went unanswered.The WHO also declined to discuss the situation in the UAE when reached by The Associated Press. However, the U.N. health agency noted in its May 30 report that there have been continued dengue outbreaks in Mideast "countries with stronger health-care systems that have been affected by unusual rains due to climate change." It also said: "Timely data sharing also remains a challenge for other countries in the region for reasons such as the potential impact in the tourism, economy and other sectors."Meanwhile, public awareness campaigns across the sheikdom on the importance of cleaning stagnant water and warnings about dengue, also known as breakbone fever, have been widely aired on state media.Still, activists stressed that communities of laborers are bearing the brunt of the disease.The slow cleanup of flooded areas in industrial sites has worsened the spread of the disease among laborers, some of whom have left their home countries already affected by climate change for a chance to earn money in the UAE, according to a report issued by FairSquare, a London-based group focused on labor rights in the Gulf Arab states.The July 4 report detailed a surge in dengue cases among migrant worker communities across the Emirates, citing three healthcare workers, a government official, and migrant workers. The group attributed the rise in cases to a lagging government response to the spread of the viral infection in areas where migrant laborers live and work.James Lynch, a FairSquare co-director once banned from entering the UAE while at Amnesty International, told the AP that "the important thing here is the disproportionate impact" of how the virus seems to mainly spread among laborers. "What you would want to see is an even-handed approach to dealing with clean up and it doesn’t seem to be the case here."No specific figures were shared in the report which quoted a nurse, who works at a private clinic in the city of Sharjah, as saying they receive over 30 cases every four or five days, describing the rise in cases as "alarming."The UAE’s overall population of more than 9.2 million is only 10% Emirati, with millions of low-paid workers from Africa, the Middle East and Southeast Asia."I call it a double whammy of climate change on this very vulnerable population," said Barrak Alahmad, a research fellow at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. "I see that these migrant workers are on the front line facing the effects of climate change and health."The effect of the virus also resonated in Iran.The Islamic Republic relies on Dubai as a major transit point to the rest of the world due to the international sanctions it faces over its nuclear program and tensions with the West.On July 9, Shahnam Arshi, an Iranian health ministry official, said of 149 people infected with dengue, 130 had been infected in the UAE while Hossein Farshidi, deputy health minister, said the first known infected person entered Iran on May 15, after the flooding in the Emirates.Farshidi, in his latest remarks on July 23, said the number of infected people in the country, rose to 152, without giving further details.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPThis year, Iran also reported its first locally transmitted cases of dengue, saying the number rose to 12 in July, all of them located in the Bandar Lengeh port, south of Iran.Earlier this year, Brazil's Rio de Janeiro declared a public health emergency because of mosquito-borne dengue fever, while in July, U.S. officials warned doctors to stay on alert as the tropical disease broke international records."Each year, we are going to see new places and different local governments struggling with either dengue or other issues from climate change," said Alahmad, the research fellow. "It is an ever-expanding issue. I don’t know if we have an easy fix to this."
