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.

How are 25 million Americans overcoming flight anxiety following recent air incidents?

The walk through the jetway to board an aircraft speeds up the heartbeat. Strapping into the seat triggers leg-bobbing and sweat. This reality faces millions of Americans with aerophobia — fear of flying. According to a recent study by Cleveland Clinic, more than 25 million U.S. adults suffer from flight anxiety, a number that increases following aviation incidents. The recent plane collision over the Potomac River that killed 67 passengers and a medevac jet crash in Philadelphia have renewed these fears for many travelers. “It’s scary to be up in the sky.

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

New research suggests semaglutide, marketed as Ozempic for diabetes and Wegovy for obesity, could help people reduce their alcohol consumption.  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
