First Responders to Harvey Sue Over Chemical Fire

HOUSTON—Seven sheriff’s deputies and medical emergency responders who say they were sickened by a chemical fire at a plant outside Houston that flooded during Harvey sued the owner Thursday for gross negligence, seeking $1 million in damages. A state judge granted a temporary restraining order to prevent plant owner Arkema Inc. from removing evidence or […]

Study: Ending DACA Will Have Health Effects

The Trump administration’s recent decision to rescind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which granted protection from deportation to unauthorized immigrants who entered the United States as minors, affects roughly 800,000 immigrants. But terminating DACA may also have perilous consequences for the children of those DREAMers, according to a new study published in […]

A Champion for Division

The Trump administration continued its bent on division and exclusion last week with actions that increase the stigmatization of vulnerable populations and champion those who target them. On the heels of the Charlottesville tragedy, in which Trump persisted in blaming “many sides” and defending some of those who protested with Neo-Nazis and Klan members, he […]

Women’s Colleges Opening Doors to Transgender Students

WELLESLEY, Mass. — Until last year, Ninotska Love would have been barred from attending Wellesley College. She’s an accomplished student who has persevered through hardship, but under longstanding rules, the college would have rejected her because she was assigned at birth as a boy. Now the rules have changed. This week, Love will become one […]

New Drug Combo Reduces HIV Risks for Male Teens

A National Institutes of Health network study has confirmed that a combination of two drugs taken daily to reduce the chances of HIV infection among high-risk adults also works well and appears safe in males ages 15 to 17 years. Truvada, a single pill containing the drugs tenofovir and emtricitabine (TDF/FTC), is currently approved for […]

Colorado Schools Staff Up for Anti-Marijuana Effort

DENVER — Colorado has given 42 school districts and charter schools a combined $9.2 million to hire people and create programs to keep marijuana out of the hands of students. The Denver Post reports the money is going to schools located near legal pot shops and is funded by proceeds from marijuana sales. Districts are […]

Arrested Nurse Receives Apologies

SALT LAKE CITY — Officials at a Utah hospital where a nurse was arrested after refusing to allow police to draw blood from an unconscious patient apologized that security officers didn’t intervene and said Monday that they have implemented policy changes to prevent it from happening again. The announcements mark the latest fallout from nurse […]

Study: White Med Students Misinformed about Racial Differences

African-Americans are consistently under-treated for pain by doctors when compared to white patients. For the same affliction, doctors are far more likely to prescribe strong pain medication to whites than to Blacks. A new study provides a rather disturbing reason why this is the case. Apparently, white physicians believe that Black folks feel no pain […]

Reform Malpractice Laws

Reforming health care is a tedious, but necessary effort. Hard choices will have to be made and it’s evident that Congress appears incapable of finding a solution to our health care debacle. Healthcare reform seems to be dead, but there was a meaningful health care cost-related bill that passed the House this session — medical […]

Study Will Shed Light on LGBTQ Health

Any sufficiently large and well-defined community is likely to have health concerns that disproportionately affect it, and LGBTQ people are no exception. Some problems have had an unmistakable impact on the gender and sexual-minority population, HIV/AIDS being an especially obvious example. But we still lack a comprehensive understanding of the ways that being an LGBTQ […]

Marriage May Increase Heart Disease Survival

A new study suggests that individuals who have experienced a heart attack, or who are at an increased risk of heart disease, have a better likelihood of survival if they are married. This, researchers say, could be due to the availability of a close support network. Recently, several studies have looked at the effects of […]
