People have described the noise like […] The chef whose dedication is a recipe for kindness: Louisa Batista has not had a sick day in 50 years (and always cooks for patients at Christmas). So do you know a Health Hero like her? Louisa Batista is justifiably proud that in five decades she’s never taken a single day off sick — for it’s an extraordinary 50 years […] Adding to mounting evidence of COVID-19’s disproportionate impact on some U.S. communities, a new analysis of hospitalization rates from the University of Minnesota shows Black, Hispanic, American Indian and Alaskan Native populations in the United States are significantly more likely to be hospitalized due to COVID-19 than whites. Published today in JAMA Internal Medicine, researchers from the U of M’s […] With forecasts showing an “extremely active” hurricane season and the entire country under varying degrees of grappling with physical distancing and fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic, planning and preparation will be key, experts say. Our hospital systems are already stressed taking care of COVID patients, so our capacity to take care of others is diminished,” said Dr. M.

Spain’s most populous region, Andalusia, along with Galicia and Cantabria in the north and Castilla and Leon in the centre were the latest Spanish regions to […] The development of chemotherapeutic agents with selective anti-cancer activities is increasingly unattractive due to the emergence of resistance, poor targeting of cancer tissues, and subsequent metastasis. Among tumor characteristic cell types, cancer stem cells are increasingly associated with cancer progression and metastasis, reflecting self-renewal and their propensity to enter the circulation. Scientists at Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology […] While the volume of research of infectious coronavirus diseases is very high after an outbreak, it drops substantially upon containment, which prevents a full understanding of coronavirus management and prevention, according to a new study by Ben-Gurion University of the Negev researchers. In the study published in GigaScience, the researchers developed and analyzed a dataset of 35 million papers over […] A subcommittee of the American Thoracic Society Assembly in Sleep and Respiratory Neurobiology has released new clinical practice guidelinesto help advise clinicians on the optimal management of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and chronic hypercapnia. Hypercapnia is the buildup of carbon dioxide in the bloodstream. The guidelines, published online in the American Thoracic Society’s American Journal of Respiratory […] Canadian pediatricians saw dozens of children and teens harmed by vaping and recreational cannabis last year—numbers some experts say may underestimate the problem. Yet, when it comes to vaping, many pediatricians remain unsure of how to raise the issue with young patients.
