A JAMA Neurology study of 7,579 pregnancies found a 1.42 hazard ratio for anti-CGRP injections. It is observational, rests on about 300 exposed pregnancies, and cannot separate the drugs from severe migraine.
Among mothers with depression, the Welsh data showed no significant autism or ADHD gap between treated and untreated cases. Against unexposed children, antidepressant exposure carried odds of 1.59 for autism and 1.89 for ADHD, which the authors say severity of illness may explain.
A Virginia Tech crossover study of 32 adults found a larger insulin response after the ultra-processed meal. It measured one 300-calorie meal in young, healthy people, not weight or disease.
The rule is voluntary, and the agency says it cannot predict how much potassium will enter the food supply. The best evidence for potassium-enriched salt comes from rural Chinese villages, and it excluded people with known kidney disease.
A Lancet Regional Health, Europe meta-analysis finds 73.6 percent protection and 27.1 percent early US uptake. A French national study found 50 percent, and hypertension safety data remain mixed.
A JAMA Network Open survey of nearly 6,000 adults found people were about 19 percentage points less likely to recommend life support for a hospitalized patient with dementia, even when a signed advance directive asked for it.
Lane Johnson ended his 14-season career with the Philadelphia Eagles on October 6, citing mental health instead of injury or age. He has talked publicly about an antidepressant withdrawal that cost him three games in 2021, and the NFL's own data shows players are now using mental health resources at roughly double that era's rate.
Happy Health's ring won FDA clearance to report blood pressure continuously with no cuff and no monthly calibration, a first for any wearable. Apple's watch only flags possible hypertension without a number, Samsung and Hilo still need a cuff to calibrate, and two rivals skip FDA review entirely by registering as wellness products instead of medical devices.
Ten adults with decades-long Type 1 diabetes stopped insulin injections within weeks of an islet cell transplant paired with an experimental antibody drug, Eledon Pharmaceuticals reported in March. A similar transplant approach without that drug failed within two years for most patients in a 2006 trial, and this cohort has only been followed for about eight months.
Tracking 372 young adults for two weeks, Penn State researchers found heat reliably lowered sleep quality. The bigger numbers for light and noise rest on a small slice of nights, and the study's own authors flagged them as the weaker part of the results.
A new analysis in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface estimates Australia's Victoria state avoided about 316,000 COVID-19 infections and 4,900 deaths during its 2021 Delta wave, with roughly half the averted infections traced to indirect herd-immunity protection rather than direct vaccination.
The TRIUMPH-2 trial tracked 1,152 adults with type 2 diabetes for 80 weeks and recorded the largest weight loss ever measured in that patient group. A Duke endocrinologist calls the data an advance; a colleague at the same hospital says the drug may be too strong for some patients who could take it.
943 cases across 39 Pennsylvania counties, five deaths by the state's count, two by the CDC's. The gap traces to a dispute over how a measles-associated death gets defined, playing out as the U.S. heads toward a November review of the elimination status it has held since 2000.
A phase 3 trial published in The Lancet found the experimental drug retatrutide helped people with type 2 diabetes lose an average of nearly 50 pounds over 80 weeks. Independent doctors call the data exciting, and one says it is not the right fit for everyone.
A September 2026 review of seven meta-analyses covering more than 3 million people found the acetaminophen-autism association disappears once only high-quality studies are counted, adding to a November 2025 review that traced the apparent link to shared family factors, not the drug.
A Blue Cross Blue Shield Association analysis found 55,158 more hospital stays coded as complex over two years, with no matching rise in treatment. The American Hospital Association says its own data tells a different story.
The Senate passed two aviation bills this week, one of them named for a University of North Dakota student pilot who died by suicide in 2021. Both still need the House before either reaches a president's desk.
A McGill University study kept 54 adults awake for 30 hours, then tested exercise against napping. Both protected memory about equally, through different brain pathways, in a sample too small and young to generalize from yet.
Onswik is the second once-weekly basal insulin the FDA has approved in five months. Like the first, it matches daily insulin's blood sugar control without beating it.
An advisory committee's closest vote on Grail's Galleri blood test came down to effectiveness, not safety. In the test's two largest trials, covering more than 175,000 patients combined, it did not reduce cancer deaths or hit the goal it was designed around.
