Mike Hollan Researchers are debating whether to still include protection for this strain in vaccines. A new victim of the COVID-19 pandemic has been revealed, and it’s a strain of the flu. Every year, multiple strains of the flu make their way through the population. There are four main strains that generally impact the population: two strains of the A variant and two strains of the b variant. Typically, flu vaccines are designed to protect against these four strains. However, after the pandemic, researchers believe that they made no longer need to protect against one of the B strains. The specific strain, known as the Yamagata clade, has not been detected since 2020, according to a report from CNN.1 It’s not yet known if the strain has been wiped out or if instances of infection are so low that they haven’t been reported. Due to this, researchers are still uncertain ...
Sleeplessness in America is on the rise, due to many external factors including increasingly negative news cycles, international conflicts and economic uncertainty. Collectively, these factors have caused more Americans to have more recurrent sleepless nights. When those nights reach three or more a week for three or more months, it’s considered chronic insomnia, which affects more than 25 million Americans. The condition can lead to both mental and physical health issues, ranging from trouble concentrating to sleep apnea and heart attacks. As we approach Sleep Awareness Week® 2024, which emphasizes the importance of sleep as a major contributor to a person’s overall health, it is also an important reminder to prioritize getting enough quality sleep. Sleep Awareness Week, which starts this year on March 10, always begins at the start of Daylight Saving Time. That’s when the clocks go forward by one hour and Americans lose an hour of sleep ...
An experimental Novo Nordisk obesity pill led to weight loss of 13.1% in a clinical trial, topping results posted in studies of the company’s approved injectable medication Wegovy. It’s early days and more testing is needed, but the preliminary data suggest that this pill has the potential to offer patients superior weight shedding in a more convenient oral formulation. Phase 1 data for the once-daily Novo Nordisk pill, amycretin, were presented Thursday during a company investor event. The study followed participants for 12 weeks. In that span, those who received a placebo lost 1.1% of their body weight. Wegovy, which is administered as a once-weekly injection, was not part of this clinical trial. Published clinical trial results for that drug show it led to weight loss of 5.9% measured at 12 weeks. Wegovy, whose main ingredient is the peptide semaglutide, offers one mechanism of action: activating the GLP-1 receptor to ...
