Air pollution isn't just bad for human health; it also poses an existential threat to certain fly species.
New research from the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology found that elevated ozone levels inhibit mating among flies.
Ozone in the stratosphere helps protect the Earth from dangerous UV radiation. But down here, the gas is a threat to our health, food supply, and biodiversity. The latter is apparent in this recent study, which found that ozone exposure significantly degrades fly pheromones.
When this happens, male and female flies have a hard time recognizing each other, renderi

How the end of extra health care subsidies could affect you, broken down by income

Extra subsidies that made Affordable Care Act plans more affordable for millions of Americans for the past five years are all but guaranteed to vanish on New Year’s Day.
In January, most people who buy plans on HealthCare.gov or a state-run marketplace will see a rise in their monthly premium, ranging from a modest **** p to hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

Trump directs RFK Jr. to review childhood vaccine plan after hepatitis B pivot

President Donald Trump is all in on Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s plan to scrutinize the list of vaccines American children get.
Trump directed Kennedy on Friday to review the childhood vaccine schedule and potentially revise it to align with those of other developed countries, most of which recommend fewer shots.
The directive, in the form of an official presidential memo, was issued hours after federal vaccine advisers downgraded decades-old guidance urging newborn immunization against hepatitis B,

'It's worse than Covid,' says principal as 170 pupils off sick in one day

The principal of a County Londonderry school has said it is like "being back in Covid times" after 170 pupils were off sick on one day alone.
Brian Guthrie of Ebrington Primary School said some children had to attend hospital and a small number were admitted for treatment last week.

In recent remarks at the “Revitalizing America’s Markets” event, SEC Chair Paul Atkins laid out a plan that would fundamentally redefine what it means to be a public company in the United States. He framed it as a plan to “make IPOs great again,” but beneath the rhetoric lies something far more consequential: a shift toward a marketplace where public companies behave like private ones — shielded from disclosure, insulated from shareholder input, and increasingly detached from the long-term health of the broader economy. In essence, it is a move toward absolute control by CEOs and their boards

Obamacare anxiety rising among House GOP centrists: 'To do this is buffoonery'

Frustration is mounting among moderate House Republicans as various competing health care plans appear to be going nowhere, with less than 10 working days left on the calendar before millions of Americans see their health insurance premiums spike.
A small but animated group of GOP centrists is imploring party leaders to extend the ObamaCare tax credits set to expire at the end of the year. But they’ve run into a wall of opposition from Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), who’s cold to the idea, and a larger group of c

US appeals court rejects Trump administration bid to halt grants for school mental health workers

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A federal appeals court on Thursday rejected the Trump administration's bid to halt an order requiring it to release millions of dollars in grants meant to address the shortage of mental health workers in schools.
The mental health program, which was funded by Congress after the 2022 school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, included grants meant to help schools hire more counselors, psychologists and social workers, with a focus on rural and underserved areas of the country. But

Court hearing reveals tense moments before Luigi Mangione's arrest in CEO killing

NEW YORK (AP) — Minutes after police approached Luigi Mangione in a Pennsylvania McDonald's, he told an officer he didn't want to talk, according to video and testimony at a court hearing Thursday for the man charged with killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
Although Mangione signaled he wasn't interested in speaking, police continued asking questions, and he continued answering, video showed. Nearly 20 minutes passed before police informed him of his right to remain silent.

Health: Research Suggests This 1 Annoying Illness Might Actually

At least since the Republican Party suffered a comprehensive defeat in last month’s off-year elections, Donald Trump’s public support has been spiraling downward even faster than before. A new YouGov/Economist poll reports that Trump’s approval rating is now down to 38 percent.
With three years remaining in Trump’s second term, and further losses in next year’s midterms looking likely, the question now is whether he can regain control or is headed for a devastating crash.
Trump’s softening support is amplified by growing rumors about his health and reports on his reduced public schedule. Eve

Instead of stopping to smell the flowers, scientists suggest stopping to smell your farts.
While the thought may be enough to make your stomach turn, scientists at Johns Hopkins Medicine say the gas behind the foul, rotten-egg-smelling stench, known as hydrogen sulfide, can help protect aging brain cells from Alzheimer’s disease.
While the smelly gas is highly toxic in large quantities, smaller doses may provide some serious health benefits, Johns Hopkins researchers noted in a study published in an issue of the Proceedings of the National Academies of Science.

Luigi Mangione to appear in court as his lawyers seek to have key evidence tossed

Luigi Mangione, the 27-year-old accused of killing a health insurance company executive in a brazen attack that sparked a national debate, will appear in court Monday as his attorneys seek to have his diary entries and other key evidence tossed from his state murder case.
Mangione was arrested at a McDonald’s in Pennsylvania following a days-long manhunt after United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, 50, was fatally shot December 4, 2024, on a busy sidewalk in midtown Manhattan.

New WHO guidance signals major shift in obesity treatment

The World Health Organization on Monday released new guidance on GLP-1 medications for adults with obesity, recommending their long-term, continuous use when clinically appropriate. The medications covered include semaglutide (Wegovy), liraglutide (Saxenda) and tirzepatide (Zepbound).
The recommendations, published in the medical journal JAMA, emphasize that these medications alone are not a solution to treating the global obesity epidemic. Obesity is a chronic disease that needs lifelong care and is best treated with long-term GLP-

Ubiquitous industrial chemicals and pesticides have a "toxic effect" on germs that play a key role in maintaining human health and could be a threat to male reproductive health, according to two teams of scientists.

Growing skepticism around GOP's plan to go all in on health savings accounts

Republicans facing voter ire over spiking health premiums are resurrecting one of their favorite ideas: Give people power to pay for medical care on their own, with tax-free dollars in individual health savings accounts.
The GOP is toying with the idea of taking federal subsidies that currently help people buy Affordable Care Act insurance and diverting some of the money into individuals’ HSAs, although passing legislation without help from Democrats is a tall order with Republicans’ slim Senate and House majoriti

Rising temperatures have devastated two of India’s most prized crops, forcing farmers to look for ways to adapt to climate change as global demand for the products grows in line with rising incomes.
Heat has devastated the cultivation of cardamom: Last year’s poor harvest pushed prices up 70%. Meanwhile, India’s tea production dropped almost 6% this year compared to last after temperatures repeatedly topped 35°C (95°F), meaning “the bushes essentially shut down,” an expert told Nikkei.

Washington state resident dies of new H5N5 form of bird flu

The first person infected with the H5N5 bird flu has died, according to health officials in Washington.
The person, who lived in Grays Harbor County, had been hospitalized earlier this month in Kings County, where Seattle is located.
Officials from the Washington State Department of Health did not release the person's name, age or gender.

First human case of H5N5 bird flu leads to death of Washington resident

A Washington resident died of complications from an infection with a bird flu strain never before reported in humans, the state Department of Health said on Friday.
The patient was an older adult with underlying health conditions who had been hospitalized and undergoing treatment for infection with H5N5 avian influenza.
It’s the first reported case of bird flu in a human in the US in nine months and only the second reported human death from the virus in the United States, but the US Centers for Disease Control and Pre

Senior citizens are facing a Medicare premium increase in 2026

Senior citizens are the latest group of Americans to face steep increases in their health insurance premiums for 2026.
Medicare Part B premiums will jump nearly 10% next year, the largest increase in four years and second-largest hike, in dollar terms, in the program’s history. The standard monthly premium will be $202.90, an increase of $17.90 from this year, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. That will eat up nearly one-third of the $56 monthly Social Security cost-of-living adjustment that retirees

Microdoses of weight loss drugs like Ozempic may slow down ageing and help increase longevity, a new study suggests.
Originally developed for treating diabetes, the drug semaglutide is now also used for weight loss, causing it to surge in popularity worldwide.
The drug, sold under brand names like Ozempic and Wegovy, mimics the action of the naturally occurring GLP-1 hormone in the gut and the brain to regulate appetite, making people feel fuller for longer.
A new trend is sweeping the internet, with reports of some people taking the drug in very small doses for longevity even though health

You can call it spit, snot or respiratory drops, but a research team has found the moisture that emerges in the unique v-shaped "blow" of endangered North Atlantic right whales holds important clues about their health.
Researchers have collaborated for decades on ways to improve the care, treatment and management of the critically endangered species. But treating the animals when they are ill is a difficult proposition.
The whales weigh in at 70 tons and are longer than a school bus, so taking them to the local vet is out of the question. And when a vet goes to the whale, either to try to re
