Eli Lilly’s Antibody Trial Is Paused Over Potential Safety Concern

October 14, 2020
| No Comments
| Health

A government-sponsored clinical trial that is testing an antibody treatment for Covid-19 developed by the drugmaker Eli Lilly has been paused because of a “potential safety concern,” according to emails that government officials sent on Tuesday to researchers at testing sites. The company confirmed the pause.

The news comes just a day after Johnson & Johnson announced the pause of its coronavirus vaccine trial because of a sick volunteer, and a month after AstraZeneca’s vaccine trial was halted over concerns about two participants who had fallen ill after getting the company’s vaccine.

The Eli Lilly trial was designed to test the benefits of the antibody therapy on hundreds of people hospitalized with Covid-19, compared with a placebo. All of the study participants also received another experimental drug, remdesivir, which has become commonly used to treat coronavirus patients. It is unclear exactly what safety issues prompted the pause.

Federal detention center officer dies of ‘potential’ COVID-19

October 13, 2020

| Health Center

Days after news of a federal inmate’s death due to the coronavirus at the Southern Nevada Detention Center in Pahrump, the private company that operates the facility announced a staff member also has died.

CoreCivic, which runs the federal detention center, confirmed the staff member’s death in an emailed response to questions from the Review-Journal on Tuesday. A detention officer died on Sunday “due to potential COVID-19 related issues,” spokesman Ryan Gustin said in the statement.

On Friday, the Nevada federal public defender’s office announced that 29-year-old Brandon Patton, an inmate at the detention center, had died of the coronavirus. The U.S. Marshals Service later confirmed Patton’s death.

Patton was the first known inmate housed in Nevada to die of COVID-19.

The Pahrump facility is the only federal detention center in the state. The Department of Corrections, which operates state prisons, has not had any staff members or prisoners die

Ottawa was told about potential problems at Public Health Agency, top doctors say

People are shown at a COVID-19 testing clinic Montreal, Oct. 11, 2020, as the COVID-19 pandemic continues in Canada and around the world.

The federal government was warned years ago that the Public Health Agency of Canada was destined for serious problems unless changes were made to its oversight, but those concerns were ignored, two of Canada’s top doctors say.

A steady erosion of scientific capacity and a chronic shortage of resources over the past decade have left the agency unable to do its job properly, public-health experts Perry Kendall and Paul Gully told The Globe and Mail.

Recent problems, including the mishandling of the country’s pandemic early warning system, emergency stockpile shortages and allegations that scientists were forced to “dumb down” reports for senior government officials, are all symptoms of a larger ailment afflicting the agency, the doctors said.

Your Good Health: Breast-cancer surgery can reduce potential pain and suffering

October 10, 2020

| Good Health

dr_keith_roach_with_bkg.jpgDear Dr. Roach: My 90-year-old father has been diagnosed with breast cancer. His doctor is recommending mastectomy, after which time they will determine a course of treatment.

My father is fairly healthy for his age, although he does have high blood pressure, diabetes and spinal stenosis, for which he takes oral medications.

He has a history of transient ischemic attack at age 75.

I am concerned that the risks of surgery at this age may be greater than that posed by the cancer. There is not much information available on male breast cancer, and any information you could provide would be appreciated.

G.S.

I am sorry about your father. Breast cancer in men is less common than in women, but usually diagnosed later, as male breast cancer is not readily suspected by patients or many physicians.

Yours is a question I have seen frequently in medical practice. The risk of

Combining Psychedelics And Sex Offers Potential Benefits And Risks

October 9, 2020
| No Comments
| Health Benefits

There is a critical lag in research surrounding sex and drugs. These two wildly popular facets of life continue to suffer as scientific studies remain at a minimum due to a combination of prohibition and social stigma. Today, a trickle of scientific findings combines with a wealth of anecdotal reports to shape our best understandings.

The dearth of verified findings in each realm has never stopped individuals from experimenting with one or both. For many, exploration includes combining sex with psychedelics, be they psilocybin, LSD, or various others. Those seeking information before diving in are left with few options. The lack of factual findings leads interested parties to an all-too-common source: anecdotes. While often not lab-verified, such reports tend to fall in-line with eventual lab studies.

Chile scientists study potential coronavirus mutation in remote Patagonia

October 9, 2020
| No Comments
| Health Article

SANTIAGO (Reuters) – Scientists in Chile are investigating a possible mutation of the novel coronavirus in southern Patagonia, a far-flung region near the tip of the South American continent that has seen an unusually contagious second wave of infections in recent weeks.

Dr. Marcelo Navarrete of the University of Magallanes told Reuters in an interview that researchers had detected “structural changes” in the spikes on the distinctive, crown-shaped virus. He said research is underway to better understand the potential mutation and its effects on humans.

“The only thing we know to date is that this coincides in time and space with a second wave that is quite intense in the region,” Navarrete said.

The Magallanes region of Chile is largely a remote, glacier-strewn wilderness dotted with small towns and the regional hub Punta Arenas, which has seen cases of COVID-19 spike in September and October following a first wave earlier

Spectral optimization shows potential to improve energy efficiency and quality-of-light experience (MAGAZINE)

October 8, 2020
| No Comments
| Health Magazine

Electric lighting is a significant part of the energy consumption in buildings. Driven by the rising energy demand, the contribution of lighting to energy consumption is anticipated to grow. In the last decades, this growing energy demand forced governments and manufacturers to think about alternative ways of generating electric lighting. Promising developments in the lighting industry, such as the introduction of solid-state lighting (SSL) devices for general lighting, made a huge impact. SSL devices have several advantages over previous lighting technologies, such as compact size, longer lifetime, directionality, high efficacy, ease of control of light output, and high color quality.

Spectral power distribution (SPD), radiant power as a function of wavelength, is a crucial part of luminous efficacy and quantification of the color quality of a light source. The color appearance of an object is constituted by the light source spectrum, the object’s spectral reflectance, and the human visual

| Health

NASHUA, NH — State health officials are investigating a potential COVID-19 outbreak at a Nashua church.

Seven people who attend services at the Gate City Church on Main Street in Nashua in September have contracted the virus, according to officials. Those people who became infected attended multi-day prayer sessions held between Sept. 19 and Sept. 28.

“DHHS and the Nashua Division of Public Health and Community Services are investigating these illnesses further and the church has moved to hosting virtual services only,” the State Joint Information Center said. “Any individuals who attended events associated with Gate City Church since Sept. 19 may have been exposed to COVID-19 and should observe for illness and seek testing.”

Testing is available for anyone without health insurance or a primary care provider. Tests can be scheduled by calling 603-271-5980 or through completing the online form at the state’s testing website.

Colorado officials warn of potential for COVID-19 increase over holidays

October 7, 2020
| No Comments
| Dept Of Health

Colorado officials including Gov. Jared Polis expressed concern Tuesday about the “alarming” increase in the number of people hospitalized in the state with the novel coronavirus, cautioning that if that figure continues to rise it could soon affect the quality of care for patients.

During a news conference, Polis said Colorado is at a “critical juncture” and “cannot continue this trend.”

“We’ve got to do better to avoid overwhelming our hospitals,” he said. “That means doubling down on the basics. Wearing a mask. Social distancing. Keeping activities and interactions outside where possible. Washing hands regularly.”

And while it appears COVID-19 infections may have plateaued following a spike from Labor Day weekend, state officials also said Colorado needs to decrease transmission of the virus ahead of winter because cases likely will rise as families gather around Thanksgiving and Christmas.

“The position that we are going to be in going in on

| Health

Walmart shoppers should check the dates on their fruit. Country Fresh has expanded their voluntary recall on cut fruit sold at Walmart for possible listeria contamination.

As IBT reported last week, a recall was issued for watermelon sold in Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Oklahoma, and Texas at Walmart and RaceTrac. Country Fresh has now extended their voluntary recall to include more fruits in nine states.

In addition to watermelon, the recall now includes clamshell containers of “Freshness Guaranteed” cut and/or sliced apples, grapes, mangos, pineapples and cantaloupe distributed by Walmart. Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas are affected by the fruit recall.

“The recall is a precautionary measure due to a possible health risk from Listeria monocytogenes detected on equipment used in an area near where these products are packed. FDA discovered these findings during a recent inspection,” a press release reads.
