Study finds microplastics in human brains, link to dementia risk

Microplastics have always been debated, but scientists have now found them in the human brain, according to new studies. They also found potential links between microplastics and dementia and other neurological disorders.  Researchers detected plastic particles in every brain sample they analyzed, with concentrations significantly higher than those in other major organs, like the liver and kidneys. This study revealed people diagnosed with dementia had up to 10 times more microplastics in their brain tissue compared to individuals without dementia. The research published in Nature Medicine analyzed samples from postmortem human donors in the United States and found the brain

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.

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

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.

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.

5 years after COVID: Understanding its long-term health effects

It’s been five years since COVID-19 was classified as a global pandemic. While life goes on for most people, millions still face ongoing health problems from the virus.

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.
