La adicción al vapeo de G Kumar alcanzó su punto álgido en la Universidad de Colorado, cuando los vapeadores saborizados desechables comenzaban a popularizarse. “Daba unas 1,200 bocanadas en una semana”, contó Kumar. El vapeo se convirtió en una adicción para él y sus amigos. Al igual que perder un celular, perder un vapeador desencadenaba una locura. “Tenía que estar junto a mi cabeza cuando me dormía por la noche y, por la mañana, tenía que revolver las sábanas para encontrarlo”, recordó Kumar. Él y sus amigos se enfermaban a menudo, incluso se contagiaron covid-19 unos a otros, y todo por v...

Surgeon General wants warning labels for social media: We already have 'em for booze and cigarettes. So why not Instagram and TikTok? Surgeon General Vivek Murthy has a New York Times op-ed out today that calls for Congress "to require a surgeon general's warning label on social media platforms, stating that social media is associated with significant mental health harms for adolescents." Such a label would serve to "regularly remind parents and adolescents that social media has not been proved safe." "Faced with high levels of car-accident-related deaths in the mid- to late 20th century, lawm...

Crystal Hiwalker wonders if her heart and lungs would have kept working if the ambulance crew had been able to give her a transfusion as the blood drained from her body during a stormy, 100-mile ride. Because of the 2019 snowstorm, it took 2.5 hours to drive from her small town of Lame Deer, Montana, to the advanced trauma center in Billings. Doctors at the Billings Clinic hospital revived Hiwalker and stopped the bleeding from her ruptured ectopic pregnancy. They were shocked that she not only survived after her heart stopped beating and she lost nearly all her blood, but that she recovered w...

Why has bird flu killed millions of wild and domestic birds, touched seals and sea lions, mink farms, cats, dogs and others but hardly touched people? That's "a little bit of a head-scratcher,” although there are some likely explanations, said Richard Webby, a flu researcher at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in the US state of Tennessee. It could have to do with how infection occurs or because species have differences in the microscopic docking points that flu viruses need to take root and multiply in cells, experts say. But what keeps scientists awake at night is whether that situation...

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. — Locals in this city of 58,000 are used to having to wait at railroad crossings for one of the dozens of daily cargo trains to pass through. But a proposed merger between the two hospitals on either side of the city could exacerbate the problem in emergencies if the hospitals shut down some services, such as trauma care, at one site, which the proposal cites as a possibility. Tom High, fire chief of a nearby township, said some first responders would be forced to transport critical patients farther, risking longer delays, if they become what locals call “railroaded” by a pas...

SACRAMENTO, California – Las normas propuestas para proteger del calor extremo a los trabajadores de California podrían extenderse a las escuelas, exigiendo a los distritos escolares que busquen distintas formas de mantener las aulas frescas. Si este mes se aprueban las nuevas reglas de protección laboral contra el calor extremo, los empleadores del estado más poblado del país tendrán que buscar el modo de proporcionar alivio a las personas que trabajan en almacenes asfixiantes, cocinas llenas de vapor y otros espacios peligrosamente calurosos. Estas mismas normas se extenderán a las escuelas,...

For Diana Perez, a medical resident at the Family Health Center of Harlem, the handwritten thank-you note she received from a patient is all the evidence she needs that she has chosen the right training path. Perez helped the patient, a homeless, West African immigrant who has HIV and other chronic conditions, get the medications and care he needed. She also did the paperwork that documented his medical needs for the nonprofit that helped him apply for asylum and secure housing. “I really like whole-person care,” said Perez, 31, who has been based at this New York City health center for most o...

G Kumar’s vaping addiction peaked in college at the University of Colorado, when flavored, disposable vapes were taking off. “I’d go through, let’s say, 1,200 puffs in a week,” Kumar said. Vaping became a crutch for them. Like losing a cellphone, losing a vape pen would set off a mad scramble. “It needs to be right next to my head when I fall asleep at night, and then in the morning, I have to thrash through the sheets and pick it up and find it,” Kumar recalled. They got sick often, including catching covid-19 — and vaping through all of it. Kumar, now 24, eventually quit. But many of their g...
