Florida se ha convertido en el primer estado en permitir que los obstetras realicen cesáreas fuera de los hospitales, apoyando a un grupo médico de un consorcio privado que afirma que el cambio reducirá costos y brindará a las mujeres embarazadas un ambiente de parto más hogareño, que muchas desean. Pero la industria hospitalaria y la principal asociación de obstetras del país dicen que, aunque algunos hospitales de Florida han cerrado sus salas de maternidad en los últimos años, realizar cesáreas en clínicas dirigidas por médicos aumentará los riesgos para las mujeres y los bebés si surgen co...

Los casos de sarampión están aumentando en Estados Unidos. En el primer trimestre de este año, se registró un número de casos 17 veces mayor con respecto al promedio registrado durante el mismo período en los cuatro años anteriores, según los Centros para el Control y Prevención de Enfermedades (CDC). La mitad de las personas infectadas, principalmente niños, han sido hospitalizadas. Y se espera que las cifras sigan empeorando, en gran medida porque cada vez más padres deciden no vacunar a sus hijos contra el sarampión y otras enfermedades como la polio y la tos ferina. Este año, el 80% de los...

Lori Tipton is among the growing number of people who say that MDMA, also known as ecstasy, saved their lives. Raised in New Orleans by a mother with untreated bipolar disorder who later killed herself and two others, Tipton said she endured layers of trauma that eventually forced her to seek treatment for crippling anxiety and hypervigilance. For 10 years nothing helped, and she began to wonder if she was “unfixable.” Then she answered an ad for a clinical trial for MDMA-assisted therapy to treat post-traumatic stress disorder. Tipton said the results were immediate, and she is convinced the ...

En 2020 y 2023, el gobierno federal cambió su postura sobre quiénes podían donar órganos y sangre de manera segura, reduciendo las restricciones para hombres que tienen sexo con hombres. Pero las limitaciones que impone la Administración de Drogas y Alimentos (FDA) sobre la donación de tejidos, un término general que abarca desde los ojos hasta la piel y los ligamentos, siguen vigentes. Defensores, legisladores y grupos enfocados en eliminar estas barreras, en particular la de la donación de córneas, dijeron sentirse frustrados porque la FDA no ha escuchado sus pedidos. Lo que piden es que las...

The federal government in 2020 and 2023 changed who it said could safely donate organs and blood, reducing the restrictions on men who have had sex with another man. But the FDA’s restrictions on donated tissue, a catchall term encompassing everything from a person’s eyes to their skin and ligaments, remain in place. Advocates, lawmakers, and groups focused on removing barriers to cornea donations, in particular, said they are frustrated the FDA hasn’t heeded their calls. They want to align the guidelines for tissue donated by gay and bisexual men with those that apply to the rest of the human...

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — In an open-air barn at the edge of the University of Florida, veterinarian Juan Campos Krauer examines a dead armadillo’s footpads and ears for signs of infection. Its claws are curled tight and covered in blood. Campos Krauer thinks it was struck in the head while crossing a nearby road. He then runs a scalpel down its underside. He removes all the important organs: heart, liver, kidneys. Once the specimens are bottled up, they’re destined for an ultra-cold freezer in his lab at the college. Campos Krauer plans to test the armadillo for leprosy, an ancient illness also kno...

In early February, dairy farmers in the Texas Panhandle began to notice sick cattle. The buzz soon reached Darren Turley, executive director of the Texas Association of Dairymen: “They said there is something moving from herd to herd.” Nearly 60 days passed before veterinarians identified the culprit: a highly pathogenic strain of the bird flu virus, H5N1. Had it been detected sooner, the outbreak might have been swiftly contained. Now it has spread to at least eight other states, and it will be hard to eliminate. At the moment, the bird flu hasn’t adapted to spread from person to person throu...

Measles is on the rise in the United States. So far this year, the number of cases is about 17 times what it was, on average, during the same period in each of the four years before, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Half of the people infected — mainly children — have been hospitalized. It’s going to get worse, largely because a growing number of parents are deciding not to get their children vaccinated against measles as well as diseases like polio and pertussis. Unvaccinated people, or those whose immunization status is unknown, account for 80% of the measles case...
