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. At the center of this storm are concerning facts revealed at

'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

His body was discovered in his hot tub. Perry played Chandler in the popular television comedy ‘Friends’.

Misuse of weight loss drug leads to hospitalization spike in Utah

Calls to Utah Poison Control about weight loss drug misuse have skyrocketed, with a shocking 600% jump that has experts worried about how people are using these medications. They’re advising caution with drugs like Ozempic or Wegovy, which contain semaglutide. These drugs have become extremely popular lately, and now there’s a shortage, so the FDA is allowing compounded versions. Amberly Johnson, director of Utah Poison Control, is alarmed by the increase in calls. “We’ve seen an increase—about a 600% increase in calls reported to us,” Johnson stated.

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

The Food and Drug Administration announced a ban on red dye No. 3 in food products, marking the end of a decades-long delay in removing the artificial color additive despite evidence of its cancer-causing properties in animals. 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. The ban extends restrictions already in place since 1990, when

Brain-dwelling worm found in patient - no one saw it coming

An Australian woman’s harrowing medical saga sounds too bizarre to be true – doctors shockingly discovered a live, wriggling worm parasite inhabiting her brain. In this world-first case, surgeons in Canberra extracted the 8cm-long roundworm from the 64-year-old patient’s skull. Typically found in pythons, the Ophidascaris robertsi specimen represented an unprecedented instance of this brain parasite infesting a human host.

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

New Study Links Popular Thyroid Medication Levothyroxine to Bone Loss Risk in Older Adults

New research from Johns Hopkins Medicine suggests that a popular thyroid drug, Levothyroxine, may raise the risk of bone loss in older adults. Hypothyroidism, or an underactive thyroid, is treated with levothyroxine, which is marketed under brand names including Synthroid. In the United States, it is the second most often prescribed drug for senior citizens. Approximately 23 million Americans, or 7% of the population, are prescribed this medication.  The preliminary study found that levothyroxine users experienced greater bone mass and density loss over a six-year period than non-users, even when their thyroid function tested in the normal range.

How Airlines Engineer Passenger Space for Profit

Airlines have transformed the flying experience over the past 40 years by steadily reducing passenger space. 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

As we get older, keeping our muscles strong and responsive becomes crucial, health professionals warn.

Marla Beauchamp, a PT and professor at McMaster University suggests that we can’t completely avoid age-related changes. Muscles take a hit – fewer fibers, and the ones left are smaller. This muscle wasting, called sarcopenia, chips away at about 3-8% of our muscle mass every 10 years after midlife. Muscle strength fades even faster than muscle size as we age.

Are Your Eye Symptoms Actually Warning You About Something More Serious?

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are now being linked to eye complications, according to the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO). While STIs affect one in five Americans and typically occur in the genitals, anus, and mouth, medical experts warn that eyes can also become infected, leading to symptoms including itchiness, irritation, and discharge. “When gonorrhea infects the eyes, it can cause a form of pink eye with a large amount of pus discharged from the eyes,” the AAO recently shared.

Morning relief: Which alcohol to drink to avoid hangxiety

That racing heartbeat. Those spiraling thoughts about last night’s conversations. The overwhelming sense of dread that grips you the morning after drinking – even when you did nothing embarrassing. This phenomenon, dubbed “hangxiety – the anxiety that accompanies hangovers,” affects countless drinkers worldwide. But neuroscience now reveals that your choice of alcohol might determine how severely you experience this post-drinking anxiety. The difference lies in the complex chemistry of various alcoholic beverages and how they interact with your brain. Beer and clear spirits appear to cause less hangxiety, while dark liquors like whiskey and brandy are more likely to trigger

When users search for related terms on these platforms, they encounter warning screens directing them to mental health resources. On X, however, searching for eating disorder-related terms leads directly to accounts, posts, and community recommendations promoting dangerous behaviors.

According to new research published in JAMA Network Open, half of patients who were of reproductive age, when diagnosed, say their doctors never gave cancer fertility counseling before starting treatment. These results were based on the study conducted on 473 cancer patients. 49% of the respondents reported that they were not told about options to preserve their fertility before starting treatment. The research raises concerns about gaps in patient care as cancer rates rise among younger Americans.

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 team of researchers at the University of Helsinki has uncovered a link between wealth and an increased genetic risk of developing breast cancer, prostate cancer, and certain other cancers when compared to those from underprivileged backgrounds. The extensive study delved into the connection between socioeconomic factors and disease risks by meticulously analyzing data gathered from a about 280,000 Finnish individuals aged 35 to 80. The research findings revealed a stark contrast: while affluent individuals exhibited a heightened genetic predisposition to cancers such as breast and prostate, those facing financial hardship were found to be more genetically susceptible to conditions

The young woman from New York had taken an at-home DNA test on a whim, never expecting the earth-shattering results waiting on the other side. Instead of confirming her sole sisterly bond as she assumed, the report revealed dozens of previously unknown half-siblings scattered across the country. Even more mind-blowing, Frosolone’s sperm donor had fathered at least 200 children through anonymous donations to a sperm bank. Unbelievably, this same sperm donor’s genetic

Feeling down when young may mess with your memory later, a new study suggests. According to research just published in Neurology, experiencing depressive symptoms in your youth could impact your thinking and recall abilities by the time you reach middle age. Scientists followed over 3,000 individuals for 20 years, having them fill out a questionnaire every 5 years about issues like changes in appetite, sleep problems, lack of concentration, and feelings of sadness or low self-worth. According to the New York Post, the participants were placed into four categories based on how their symptoms evolved: consistently low, decreasing medium, constant

Why plant-based meat ignites a lasting craving & is here to stay

A huge change is happening in the food world, questioning old ideas about where our meat comes from. This new kind of meat, cleverly named plant-based meat or “unicorn meat,” is either made from plants or grown from cells in a lab. This fresh, cutting-edge idea is still getting established. 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. Trailblazers like Upside Foods and Impossible Foods are spearheading

Why older Americans don't trust AI with their health decisions

Most older adults don’t trust health information generated by AI, according to a new University of Michigan study. The survey polled nearly 3,379 Americans aged 50 and older earlier this year. Three-quarters of those surveyed said they wouldn’t trust health advice from AI. Trust levels varied across demographic groups. Women, individuals with lower education or income levels, and those who had not visited a healthcare provider in the past year were less likely to trust AI-generated health information found online. The poll also examined older adults’ confidence in identifying accurate health information. One in five respondents reported little or no

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. Orthorexia nervosa is not officially listed as a clinical diagnosis in the current Diagnostic and

If you’ve ever felt a nagging sense of worry or unease that just won’t go away, no matter how hard you try to rationalize it, you may have experienced the persistent dread associated with Generalized Anxiety Disorder. Unlike temporary bouts of anxiousness brought on by specific stressful situations, GAD is characterized by excessive, uncontrollable anxiety and tension that permeates nearly every aspect of daily life. It manifests as a constant irrational worry, even when there is little or no apparent reason for concern. From the endless “what-if” thoughts to feeling physical symptoms like muscle tension and insomnia, this chronic condition

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

Lingering man-made chemicals in drinking water raise health concerns

There is growing unease over the potential health impacts of man-made chemicals that linger in drinking water. The persistence of certain synthetic chemicals in drinking water has raised worries over possible health consequences.   The ongoing presence of particular industrial compounds in tap water has triggered concerns about possible negative health effects. This scientific evidence compelled new national clean water rules aimed at limiting exposure. Water systems will have five years to comply via filtration.

How to recognize and deal with the silent treatment as emotional abuse

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. This “silent treatment in relationships” may seem tame, but its roots are surprisingly cruel. In the 19th century, sailors used merciless silence to discipline misbehaving crew members

How hyperfixation on self-care rituals is making people feel inadequate

Our obsession with self-improvement is making people miserable, according to experts. Psychologist Meytal Eyal has observed an “epidemic of self-hatred” from constantly striving to better ourselves while never feeling adequate.  This hyperfixation on the self manifests in elaborate self-care rituals or cutting out “toxic” friends to reach an idealized version of oneself. However, socioeconomic and systemic barriers also impact people’s ability to feel fulfilled. Marginalized communities in particular struggle with feelings of insufficiency.  All humans are motivated to improve their lives, but this survival impulse can be taken too far.

Measles outbreak fuels heated debate over mandatory vaccination laws

People thought that measles was a disease of the past, but its scary comeback has broken that illusion. Several new measles outbreaks have emerged across multiple states including California and Michigan. Additionally, seven cases were identified among students at the same elementary school in Florida. These incidents highlight how the highly contagious measles virus continues to spread in communities around the country. Matthew Ferrari, the director of the Center for Infectious Disease Dynamics at Penn State University, aptly describes the situation as a “pile of firewood” with each outbreak acting as a match, increasing the risk of a larger conflagration.

Did COVID drive a spike in teen antidepressant use?

A startling new study by Pediatrics Journal reveals the hidden pandemic fallout – antidepressant prescriptions for teens and young adults have exploded by over 64% compared to pre-COVID levels. This jarring spike mirrors the decline in youth mental well-being throughout the crisis and its aftermath. Most strikingly, the findings expose profound gender-based disparities underpinning this trend. For adolescent females between 12-17 years old, the rate at which antidepressants were dispensed skyrocketed by an astonishing 130% above pre-pandemic levels after March 2020. The situation was scarcely improved for young adult women aged 18-25, with the dispensing rate for this demographic spiking

For women, the road to a long life expectancy with good health is surprisingly different from that of men. Even young adults in the current generation should start focusing on key factors that can extend both their lifespan and healthspan. Women have certainly won the longevity lottery by living an average of six years longer than men in the United States.

Ancient Egyptian skulls reveal 4,000-year-old cancer mystery

In a remarkable discovery, an international team of researchers has found evidence suggesting ancient Egyptians may have attempted treatments or medical explorations of human cancer, including possible cancer surgery, over 4,000 years ago. The findings, published Wednesday in the journal Frontiers in Medicine, provide an extraordinary new perspective on the origins of cancer treatment. The researchers examined two 4,000-year-old Egyptian skulls from the University of Cambridge’s Duckworth Collection. One skull belonged to a man aged 30 to 35 who lived between 2687 and 2345 BC. The other was from a woman over 50 years old, dating back to 663-343 BC.
