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. Published in Nature Metabolism, the study shows sucralose activates the hypothalamus, a region of the brain that helps regulate hunger and body weight. 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

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.

COVID-19 makes breathing hard and reduces lung capacity. Studies show recovered patients still had abnormal lung scans three months after getting sick. Even people who had mild symptoms during their illness now report trouble breathing, raising concerns about how the virus affects lung function over time. The virus

Researchers find shorter, effective prostate cancer treatment

Health researchers have found that a shortened course of radiation therapy is just as effective as the conventional method for prostate cancer treatment, according to a study co-led by the University of California, Los Angeles. The research, published in the Lancet Oncology provides compelling evidence that moderately hypofractionated radiotherapy (MHFRT) offers the same cancer control as traditional approaches. According to this research, MHFRT delivers higher doses of radiation per session over a shorter period. “We believe these data strongly support that isodose MHFRT should become the preferred standard of care MHFRT regimen for prostate cancer,” said Dr. Amar Kishan.
