Una empresa que fabrica pruebas para la detección de envenenamiento por plomo ha acordado resolver cargos criminales por haber ocultado durante años un mal funcionamiento que generó resultados bajos e inexactos. Es el último capítulo de una larga saga que involucra a Magellan Diagnostics, con sede en Massachusetts, que pagará $42 millones en multas, según el Departamento de Justicia (DOJ). Aunque muchos de los dispositivos propensos a fallas se utilizaron desde 2013 hasta 2017, algunos fueron retirados del mercado recién en 2021. El DOJ dijo que este mal funcionamiento produjo resultados inexa...

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — En un granero al aire libre en el borde de la Universidad de Florida, el veterinario Juan Campos Krauer examina las pezuñas y las orejas de un armadillo muerto en busca de signos de infección. Sus garras están apretadas y cubiertas de sangre. Campos Krauer cree que lo golpearon en la cabeza mientras cruzaba una carretera cercana. Luego, corta con un bisturí la parte inferior del animal y extrae todos los órganos importantes: corazón, hígado, riñones. Coloca las muestras embotelladas en un congelador ultra frío, en su laboratorio de la universidad. Campos Krauer planea exami...

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Proposed rules to protect California workers from extreme heat would extend to schoolchildren, requiring school districts to find ways to keep classrooms cool. If the standards are approved this month, employers in the nation’s most populous state will have to provide relief to indoor workers in sweltering warehouses, steamy kitchens, and other dangerously hot job sites. The rules will extend to schools, where teachers, custodians, cafeteria workers, and other employees may work without air conditioning — like their students. “Our working conditions are students’ learning ...

A company that makes tests for lead poisoning has agreed to resolve criminal charges that it concealed for years a malfunction that resulted in inaccurately low results. It’s the latest in a long-running saga involving Massachusetts-based Magellan Diagnostics, which will pay $42 million in penalties, according to the Department of Justice. While many of the fault-prone devices were used from 2013 to 2017, some were being recalled as late as 2021. The Justice Department said the malfunction produced inaccurate results for “potentially tens of thousands” of children and other patients. Doctors d...

The White House is calling on hospital executives, doctors, and other health care leaders to take bolder steps to prevent gun violence by gathering more data about gunshot injuries and routinely counseling patients about safe use of firearms. Biden administration officials are hosting back-to-back events Thursday and Friday at the White House for about 160 health care officials, calling gun violence a “public health crisis” that requires them to act. The strategy also reflects a stark political reality: Congress has been deadlocked on most gun-related legislation for years, with a deep divide ...

Most of the surface ozone that leads to premature deaths in Europe comes from beyond the continent’s borders, according to a new study. Researchers from the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal), with the French National Institute of Health and Medical Research (Inserm) and the Barcelona Supercomputer Center, calculated the impact of imported ozone across 813 regions in 35 European countries. They found that roughly 60 per cent of all deaths attributable to ground-level ozone (O3) came from outside Europe’s borders. Just under 12 per cent of deaths attributable to the air pollutant ...

Today's guest is Jay Bhattacharya, a co-author of the Great Barrington Declaration and one of the plaintiffs in Murthy v. Missouri, the Supreme Court case charging that the Biden administration and other parts of the federal government illegally colluded "with social media companies to suppress disfavored speakers, viewpoints, and content." A decision in that case is imminent, and a victory for Bhattacharya's side would make it impossible for the government to pressure X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, and other platforms to ban or squelch legal speech. A professor of medicine at Stanford Univer...
