Air Force Veteran's Medical Experience Leads to Nursing Career Amid U.S. Shortage

Andrew Nydegger, a former Korean translator in the United States Air Force, transitioned to a career in nursing following a personal medical scare. Initially planning a career in law, Nydegger's path changed after a nurse practitioner diagnosed him with an adrenal tumor, a pivotal moment that inspired him to pursue nursing. After his medical discharge from the Air Force, Nydegger earned degrees in nursing and has been practicing since 2010. Recently, he was appointed as the dean of the College of Nursing at Westcliff University in California. Nydegger's military background provided him with skills such as leadership and critical thinking, which he finds applicable in his nursing career.

Researchers Advocate for Regulation of Ultra-Processed Foods Amid Health Concerns

Researchers Advocate for Regulation of Ultra-Processed Foods Amid Health Concerns

A group of researchers, including Laura Schmidt from the University of California, San Francisco, is calling for a regulatory approach to ultra-processed foods similar to the historical 'war on tobacco.' The researchers argue that ultra-processed foods, which include items like salty chips and sugary sodas, are major contributors to poor health outcomes in the U.S. The call to action is based on a series of papers published in the American Journal of Public Health, which highlight the addictive nature of these foods and their links to chronic diseases. The papers suggest that public health strategies used against tobacco could be effective in reducing the consumption of ultra-processed foods.

New Weight Management System PATHWEIGH Shows Promise in Reducing Population Weight Gain

New Weight Management System PATHWEIGH Shows Promise in Reducing Population Weight Gain

A new weight management system called PATHWEIGH, developed by endocrinologist Leigh Perreault and her team, has shown promising results in reducing population-level weight gain. The program, supported by the National Institutes of Health, was implemented in 56 UCHealth primary care clinics across Colorado, reaching over 274,000 patients. Research published in Nature Medicine found that PATHWEIGH reduced population weight gain by 0.58 kg over 18 months and shifted the trend from weight gain to weight loss. The program increased the likelihood of patients receiving weight-related care by 23%, making it a potential model for standard obesity treatment.
