Autoimmune diseases raise the risk of heart disease, stroke, and blood clots. For those also living with obesity, these risks climb even higher.New research suggests that GLP-1 drugs like Wegovy (semaglutide) and Zepbound (tirzepatide) may help lower some of those risks. In a study of adults with both obesity and an autoimmune disease, GLP-1 users had lower rates of blood clots, emergency department visits, and death compared with similar people who weren’t taking one of these drugs.[1]“The key takeaway is that the potential benefits of GLP-1 therapy may extend beyond the number on the scale,” says study author Amy Sheer,…

South Australia is home to a booming koala population, but researchers warn that this apparent conservation success could eventually turn into a serious problem. A new study has provided the first comprehensive estimate of koala numbers in the region and identified a humane, cost effective strategy to keep the population at sustainable levels. The research, published in Ecology and Evolution, was led by Dr. Frédérik Saltré, who serves as both a Research Scientist at the Australian Museum and a Senior Lecturer in Ecology and Biogeography at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS). The project also involved scientists from Flinders University…

The US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is investigating what happened to $30 million it sent to a Muslim nonprofit to help resettle Afghan refugees in the US, The Post has learned.

In the days before the latest flare-ups of violence in the Middle East, President Trump’s aides were negotiating with Tehran on four major elements of a nuclear agreement that U.S. officials contend would grind the program to a halt for 15 years or so.The negotiations, according to U.S. officials and diplomats who have been briefed on the confidential talks, have gone considerably beyond discussion about reopening the Strait of Hormuz, which the Iranians have all but shut down for 101 days.The result is what American officials describe as the hazy outlines of an accord — assuming the Islamic Revolutionary Guards…

Managing the Emotional FalloutIn some cases, your diagnosis may not come as a surprise — often adult children may already sense that something has changed, especially if you live near each other or talk often.[2]But that does not mean they will react the way you hope or expect, at least at first — and that’s okay, says Williams.“If you have more than one child, each one may have a different response. One child may feel relieved to have an explanation for your behavior, while another may insist nothing is wrong,” she says.Denial may come as outright refusal to accept the…

Sinclair, a biologist at Harvard Medical School, plans to launch the tests in a $101 million competition organized by the XPrize Foundation. The winners will “restore” a person to an earlier apparent age, as measured by improvements in immune, cognitive, and muscle function. The grand prize goes to any team able to show a 10-year (or greater) relative improvement after one year of treatment.  Sinclair says he plans to give an oral drug mixture to volunteers, in a bid to seek “evidence for age restoration in humans.” Find out how he hopes to reverse ageing through chemical reprogramming. —Antonio Regalado…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! President Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Department of Justice is already facing headwinds among Senate Republicans that could derail, or outright torpedo, his confirmation process. And the process to either confirm or deny acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to replace former Attorney General Pam Bondi is already underway in the Senate, with Trump officially sending his nomination to the upper chamber on Monday. Blanche’s involvement in the controversial, now-defunct $2 billion anti-weaponization fund, and his actions surrounding the Jan. 6 Capitol Hill rioters are two key breaking points for some Senate Republicans. TRUMP EYES…

She resigned…
