Drug-resistant fungus spreads rapidly in hospitals across the U.S.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has identified Candida auris – a deadly and drug-resistant fungus – as an “urgent threat” due to its rapid spread in healthcare facilities across the United States. Cases have surged since its first U.S. appearance in 2016, with over 4,000 new clinical cases reported by March 2023. California recorded 1,566 infections during this same period, more than any other state. Candida auris is a type of yeast that can cause severe infections, particularly in individuals with weakened immune systems. The fungus is notably resistant to multiple antifungal medications, complicating treatment efforts. “The

How often do disadvantaged patients use emergency services?
A new University of California, Los Angeles-led study reveals socioeconomically disadvantaged individuals continue to underuse the Emergency Department (ED) services for potentially serious illnesses, despite an overall rebound in ED visits following the COVID-19 pandemic. Published in Health Affairs, the study found that while ED use rebounded for those with commercial insurance or Medicare, it remained lower for patients covered by Medicaid or dual Medicare/Medicaid, often those from disadvantaged backgrounds. The research highlights a concerning trend where Medicaid and dual-eligible patients are avoiding emergency care, even when they need it most. “Our findings highlight a mixed reality: while fewer potentially

Groundbreaking pathway found to combat Alzheimer's
Researchers at University of Southern California Stem Cell identified a novel approach to eliminate toxic tau protein buildup in brain cells, a major contributor to Alzheimer’s disease and related neurodegenerative disorders. The study, published in the journal Neuron, demonstrates how suppressing a specific gene can activate cellular cleaning mechanisms to remove harmful tau proteins. The research team conducted experiments using laboratory mice and human brain organoids — miniature lab-grown brain-like structures — to investigate the relationship between the neurotransmitter glutamate and tau accumulation. Glutamate, while essential for normal brain function, including memory and mood regulation, can promote a toxic buildup

How a mouse study sheds light on air pollution's health impact
Researchers at University of California, Los Angeles Health have discovered exposure to diesel exhaust causes substantial disruption to liver function in mice. The investigation revealed altered activity in 658 genes and 118 metabolites following exposure, potentially shedding light on how air pollution contributes to metabolic disorders in humans. The study found diesel exhaust exposure led to increased production of triglycerides, fatty acids, and sugars in the mice. These metabolic changes were largely attributed to mitochondrial dysfunction, as these cellular structures play a crucial role in energy production. When researchers directly exposed liver cells to diesel particles, they observed activation of

As of Feb. 27, 2025, a resurgence of measles has been confirmed in nine U.S. jurisdictions, with 164 cases reported, amid declining vaccination rates. The recent outbreak has hit rural areas of West Texas the hardest – particularly in Gaines County. The virus has continued to spread, reaching nearby counties and parts of New Mexico.

California's new bird flu variant: What does it mean for your breakfast table?
A California duck farm has identified the first case of highly pathogenic H5N9 avian influenza in American poultry. According to a recent report by the World Organization for Animal Health, this development comes amid the ongoing bird flu situation across the United States. The outbreak, which began on Nov. 23, 2024, at a commercial duck meat farm in Merced County, California, led to the culling of 118,954 birds by Dec. 2 to prevent the virus from spreading further. The U.S. Department of Agriculture reported that the affected flock showed signs of increased mortality, prompting state officials to quarantine the premises.

While there is currently no cure or prevention for dementia, medical experts emphasize that several lifestyle modifications can help reduce the risk. Christine E.

Elderly at risk? CDC investigates RSV vaccines linked to Guillain-Barre Syndrome
Just when everyone was popping the champagne over these two new RSV vaccines getting the green light, a major buzzkill rolled in. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is now examining a possible link between these newly authorized shots and an increased risk of developing Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). This uncommon neurological disorder leads to the immune system of the body attacking its own nerves. This concerning development has created significant worries regarding the safety of these vaccines, especially for the elderly who are the main focus group.

'Trojan horse' weight loss drug outperforms Ozempic in mice
A revolutionary new approach to weight loss could rise above medications like Ozempic and Wegovy. By combining the appetite-suppressing hormone GLP-1 with special molecules that zero in on the brain’s appetite control center, this “Trojan horse” therapy achieved remarkable weight loss in mice – up to twice as much as GLP-1 alone in some cases. The drug co-developed by scientists at the University of Copenhagen and Novo Nordisk smuggles in molecules that directly regulate hunger alongside GLP-1. While currently approved GLP-1 medications just make people feel fuller, this two-pronged offensive strikes the appetite at its neurological roots. “The effect of

FDA bans on red dye No. 3 after long-standing delays in food safety

The decision comes 25 years after FDA scientists determined that rats fed large amounts of the dye developed malignant thyroid tumors at higher rates than those not exposed to the additive. Food manufacturers will have two years to reformulate their products, while pharmaceutical companies have three years to remove the dye from medicines.

Can semaglutide be used as a tool to combat alcohol cravings?

The study, published in JAMA Psychiatry and led by a University of Southern California investigator, found that weekly injections of semaglutide decreased alcohol craving and consumption compared to placebo treatments. The clinical trial provides scientific validation for what many patients and physicians have observed anecdotally since these medications became widely used: individuals taking semaglutide often experience a diminished desire for alcohol. “This is the first randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial of semaglutide designed to study the phenomenon,” said Christian Hendershot, the

According to a USA Today, a 2019 study by Consumer Reports, a standard economy seat’s legroom has shrunk from 34 inches in the 1980s to just 30-31 inches today in most major carriers. This dramatic reduction stems from airlines packing more seats into planes to boost profits, a practice known in the industry as “densification.” To achieve these tighter configurations, airlines installed thinner “slimline” seats with less padding. In a 2022 report by the International Air Transport Association (IATA), these seats reduced aircraft weight

New research finds no link between exercise and weight loss
Going to the gym to lose weight? New research says you might want to rethink that plan. A Duke University study found that people who exercise regularly burn about the same number of daily calories as those who rarely leave their desks. This proves that there’s no link between exercise and weight loss. In his research, Herman Pontzer, an evolutionary anthropologist at Duke University, discovered that hunter-gatherers from Tanzania’s Hadza tribe, despite their highly active lifestyle, burn roughly the same number of daily calories as sedentary office workers in the United States when accounting for body size. “That was unexpected,”

The battle against time may be fought – and potentially won – in the first hours after dawn. New research reveals that your morning routine could be the secret weapon in slowing down the biological clock, with scientists identifying seven key habits that may influence how quickly we age. While aging remains inevitable, health researchers note that individual aging rates vary significantly, often correlating with established morning routines.

Always Right and Ready to Fight? You Might Know Someone With a Superiority Complex
The colleague who takes credit for everyone’s work, the friend who constantly brags, the partner who believes they are always right—these behaviors may signal more than just difficult personalities. Mental health experts identify them as potential signs of a superiority complex, a psychological pattern where people overestimate their worth to compensate for deep-seated insecurities. Mental health experts describe a superiority complex as a psychological pattern where people show an inflated sense of self-worth and abilities to mask deep feelings of inferiority. Alfred Adler, a psychologist, first noticed this pattern of behavior in the early 1900s, and the idea behind the

Scientists have linked various pollutants, including air particulates, heavy metals, and synthetic chemicals, to accelerated bone deterioration and increased fracture risks. “Air pollution is a neglected risk factor for osteoporosis because for years we’ve focused on things like lifestyle factors, hormones, and genetics,” says Tuan Van Nguyen, professor of epidemiology at the University of New South Wales, Australia.

Is Chlamydia causing infertility? First vaccine trial shows promises
There is new hope in the fight against a sexually transmitted disease that impacts many people around the world.

Chlamydia case tallies have soared in recent years, with over 1.6 million U.S. infections chronicled in 2022 alone, per CDC epidemiological data. However, these jarring statistics likely understate the true pervasiveness, as this bacterial invader frequently remains asymptomatic, eluding detection.

The study, published recently in Nature, analyzed blood samples from over 44,530 adults to examine how various organs age relative to a person’s chronological age. Researchers found about one-third of participants had at least one organ significantly “older” than their actual age based on molecular markers. “This research demonstrates just how complicated aging is,” said Hamilton Se-Hwee Oh, lead author and postdoctoral researcher at Stanford. “It’s not a uniform process affecting the whole body simultaneously.”

Most of our daily thoughts are negative, but experts recommend a 10-second brain training technique for reversing this tendency. Neuropsychologists and mental health specialists have identified a method called “installation” that shows promise in reducing negative thoughts by deliberately extending positive experiences in the brain. The method, developed by neuropsychologist Rick Hanson, Ph.D., focuses on deliberately extending positive experiences to create lasting changes in the brain’s neural pathways. “Without this installation — without the transfer of the experience from short-term memory buffers to long-term storage — beneficial experiences such as feeling cared about are momentarily pleasant but have no lasting

Why do periods lead to chocolate cravings?
Many people think chocolate cravings during periods are caused by hormonal changes, but new research points to culture as a bigger influence than biology. So, is period chocolate cravings a myth? Research shows that many American women experience chocolate cravings around their period. However, according to the Washington Post, studies from the last 20 years suggest that these “period cravings” might be influenced by culture rather than biology alone. In a 2006 Cornell University study, over 300 female students were surveyed, and 91% of the American participants reported craving chocolate. For most, these cravings were strongest right before their period.

A huge change is happening in the food world, questioning old ideas about where our meat comes from.

However, it could be an ethical, environmentally-friendly option compared to regular meat that’s also healthier. At its heart, unicorn meat aims to mimic traditional meat sources’ rich flavors, succulent textures, and nutritional might. But it does so through innovative culinary alchemy.

What is orthorexia? The "healthy eating" obsession explained
Doctors and dietitians are raising major concerns over an eating condition they’re calling “orthorexia” – an extreme, obsession with eating only healthy foods. The term orthorexia was first used over 25 years ago in 1997 by Dr. Steven Bratman to label the strict eating habits of people who cut things out of their diet, experience malnutrition, and limit their foods based on quality. Unlike bulimia or anorexia, which involve issues with food quantity, this condition is an unhealthy obsession with only eating healthy organic foods.

The research published in the journal BMC Psychology was conducted by an international team led by Flinders University’s Reza Shabahang. They surveyed 595 adult

Body neutrality emerges as antidote to toxic beauty culture
In our looks-obsessed culture, it’s a sad truth that many people, especially young folks, develop negative feelings about their bodies. The body positivity movement tried to tackle this by encouraging self-love and acceptance of diverse body types. However, more experts now argue that body neutrality may be a more realistic and mentally healthy approach. The core idea behind body neutrality is rejecting the flawed notion that our bodies carry some inherent moral value based purely on their physical appearance. Rather than pushing for an idealized vision of loving one’s body unconditionally, neutrality encourages appreciating our bodies for their incredible capabilities

When couples come together, open and honest conversations build closeness and understanding. Silent treatment in relationships can spell the death knell to this bonding and companionship if communication between the couple falls through. However, many still fall into this harmful pattern—the cold shoulder, withholding words, refusal to speak. Purposely depriving your partner of words, often as punishment or to exert control, causes profound emotional pain that can tear even the strongest relationships apart.
