Do calorie-free sweeteners cause appetite disruption?

A new study from the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California reveals that calorie-free sweeteners, like sucralose, can disrupt brain signals related to appetite and potentially increase cravings, particularly in people with obesity.

While it mimics the sweetness of sugar, sucralose does not provide the expected caloric energy. This mismatch may lead to an increase in appetite and overeating, especially over time. “But are these substances actually helpful for regulating body weight? What

What are 'poppers' and why is the FDA cracking down on them?

Alkyl nitrites – commonly known as “poppers” – have a complex regulatory history dating back to the 19th century, when amyl nitrites were used as medical treatments for chest pain and asthma. According to a 2024 paper in the California Law Review, these substances were available over the counter during the 1960s before being restricted to prescription use after gay nurses helped popularize recreational applications. As amyl nitrite gave way to other alkyl nitrite formulations, the products maintained popularity in clubs during the 1970s. By the 1980s, use became largely concentrated among gay men, partly due to the stigma associated

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.

Can blood pressure during pregnancy signal future hypertension risk?

A new study reveals women who maintain blood pressure within normal clinical ranges during pregnancy but do not experience the typical mid-pregnancy drop may face a higher risk of developing hypertension within five years after giving birth.  The research, published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology: Advances, identifies a previously unrecognized group of women who could benefit from early intervention despite not being flagged by current medical guidelines. Researchers from the Keck School of Medicine of University of Southern California collected comprehensive health data from 854 pregnant women and tracked them for up to five years postpartum.
