AI analysis flags overlooked side effects of GLP-1 weight-loss drugs, including menstrual changes

A Penn study used AI to scan more than 400,000 Reddit posts and found that a significant portion of users taking GLP-1 receptor agonists (like semaglutide and tirzepatide) reported side effects—most commonly nausea, fatigue, and GI issues—with about 4% mentioning menstrual changes. The researchers caution that these reports do not prove causation and emphasize broader data collection beyond Reddit to better capture potential adverse effects and inform labeling.

"Speech Rate and Brain Health: The Surprising Connection"

A study by Baycrest and the University of Toronto suggests that talking speed is a more important indicator of brain health than difficulty finding words, which appears to be a normal part of aging. The research, involving 125 healthy volunteers aged 18 to 90, utilized AI software to analyze language performance, focusing on speech rate and word-finding pauses. Slower talking speed was associated with weaker executive functions, suggesting that speech rate could be a crucial marker for detecting cognitive changes early on. This research supports the inclusion of speech speed tests in cognitive assessments to identify early signs of cognitive decline.
