Former FDA commissioner Scott Gottlieb argues vaccines do more than prevent immediate infection: by stopping viruses, vaccines also avert lasting health problems, countering anti-vaccine misinformation.
New evidence shows COVID-19 can cause lasting health problems—from cognitive impairment to neurodevelopmental issues in newborns—and may raise risks for cancer relapse and cardiovascular disease, even after mild infections. Critics say Trump-era policy shifts limited vaccine recommendations and halted funding for next-gen vaccines, while officials insist vaccines remain available and guidance now emphasizes informed decision-making. With vaccination rates low and long-term harms potentially driving economic costs, researchers call for more funding and long-term monitoring of recovered patients.
A ten-year study shows that marathon running causes only temporary heart changes and does not lead to long-term damage in recreational runners, though underlying heart conditions can still pose risks. Elevated troponin levels post-race are normal and not indicative of injury, but symptoms like chest pain should always be medically evaluated.
New research shows that high screen exposure before age two accelerates brain maturation in visual and cognitive networks, leading to slower decision-making and increased anxiety in adolescence, highlighting infancy as a critical period for screen exposure and the potential benefits of parental engagement like reading.
The article discusses the experiences of individuals stopping weight loss injections (GLP-1s), highlighting the challenges of weight regain, side effects, and the importance of support and lifestyle changes for sustainable weight management.
A cardiologist warns that common medications like Omeprazole and Ibuprofen can pose serious health risks, especially with long-term use or before exercise, including nutrient deficiencies, kidney damage, and heart issues, urging caution and proper medical supervision.
Recent research shows that many common medications, including antibiotics, antidepressants, and PPIs, can cause long-lasting changes to the gut microbiome, potentially affecting immunity, metabolism, and mood. The study emphasizes the importance of considering past medication use and adopting lifestyle and dietary strategies to support gut health. While medications are essential, awareness of their impact on gut microbes is crucial for overall health management.
A large study finds that common drugs, including antibiotics, antidepressants, and benzodiazepines, can cause long-lasting changes to the gut microbiome, with effects persisting for years and potentially impacting health, emphasizing the need to consider medication history in microbiome research and treatment.
A study published in mSystems reveals that several common medications, including antibiotics, antidepressants, beta-blockers, and acid reducers, can cause lasting disruptions to the gut microbiome, potentially impacting health for years after use. The research highlights the importance of cautious medication use and lifestyle choices to maintain gut health.
A recent study reveals that several common medications, including antibiotics, antidepressants, beta-blockers, and acid reducers, can cause lasting disruptions to the gut microbiome, potentially impacting health for years after use. The study emphasizes the importance of cautious medication use and lifestyle factors like diet and exercise to support gut health.
A long-term ketogenic diet may prevent weight gain but can cause severe metabolic problems such as fatty liver disease and impaired blood sugar regulation in mice, highlighting potential health risks that warrant caution and medical supervision.
New research indicates that certain medications, including antibiotics, antidepressants, and proton pump inhibitors, can cause lasting changes to the gut microbiome, potentially affecting health, immune function, and disease risk for up to a decade after use. Doctors emphasize the importance of taking medications as prescribed and highlight the need for further research on the microbiome's role in overall health.
Research indicates that millions may have lost their sense of smell due to COVID-19 without realizing it, with many unaware of their condition, which could have significant health implications. The study highlights the need for routine smell testing in post-COVID care to address this underrecognized issue.
Research indicates that millions of people may have lost their sense of smell due to COVID-19 without realizing it, with many unaware of their hyposmia or anosmia, highlighting the need for routine smell testing in post-COVID care to address potential long-term health impacts.
A study suggests that COVID-19 infection in male mice causes changes in sperm that may lead to increased anxiety and altered brain development in their offspring, indicating potential long-lasting effects of the virus on future generations, though further research in humans is needed.
