A different formulation of the compound is also used in antimalarial medication, which has hit headlines recently as a potential treatment for COVID-19. Scientists in Australia are among those planning to test the drug on COVID-19 patients in a clinical trial, while researchers in France published promising results from a preliminary trial on the closely related medication hydroxychloroquine. In a press conference last week President Donald Trump said the common malaria drug had “shown very very encouraging early results” in COVID-19 patients....

But about a year ago, one of the most popular statins, Baycol, was recalled by the Bayer Corp. because it had been associated with several dozen deaths as well as hundreds of adverse affects related to muscle weakness and breakdown. The recall left both patients and the medical community reeling and cast a heavy cloud over a family of medications that not much earlier had been heralded by some as miraculous....

Brazilian nurse technician Semei Araújo Cunha posted her glove contraption to her social media accounts on March 20, according to a report from G1 São Carlos and Araraquara. Using the “little glove” technique created by Lidiane Melo, Cunha filled two latex gloves with warm water, tied the tips of the fingers together and slid a patient’s hand through. “We decided to do it as a form of affection, cuddling, humanization, as if someone was taking her hand, and also to soften the extremities that were very cold,” Cunha told G1....

The game was scheduled to tip shortly after 7 p.m. ET Friday, but Zach Klein, sports director at WSB-TV, Atlanta’s ABC affiliate, reported about 10 minutes before then that the game could be delayed after arena security discovered the package.

Fans in the arena were evacuated as the investigation took place....

Kushner starts right off by laughing us into the center of our ideological crisis. “Perestroika” opens in Moscow 1986 with the ancient figure of Prelapsarianov (Kathleen Chalfant), the “oldest living Bolshevik,” orating about the death of Marxist theory and its replacement by American cheeseburger capitalism. In a scene worthy of Shaw, Kushner both satirizes Marxist abstraction and warns about the lack of new ideas in our “sour little age.” A great crash and we move from the Kremlin to downtown New York, picking up the last scene of Part One, with the AIDS-stricken Prior (Stephen Spinella) cowering in his bed beneath the Angel (Ellen McLaughlin), who has crashed through his bedroom ceiling....

In the avalanche of press coverage that’s followed New Era’s spectacular demise, the focus has fallen squarely on the big-name philanthropists who’ve been fleeced by what authorities say was a half-billion-dollar Ponzi scheme. Among the victims: venture capitalist Laurance Rockefeller and former treasury secretary William Simon. But these deep-pocketed donors are in far better shape than the hundreds of institutions-many of them small evangelical groups–that were stripped of cash by New Era’s fall....

The medical term for visible blood in the stool is hematochezia. The brighter the blood, the more likely it’s coming from a source in the lower gastrointestinal tract, such as the colon (large intestine). A darker color may mean the blood is from higher in the gastrointestinal tract (such as the esophagus, stomach, or small intestine). This article covers the various reasons why you can have red-appearing or bloody stool and how your healthcare provider may diagnose and treat hematochezia....

A minor impact can cause skin discoloration, while a harder impact can cause a collection of clotted blood deep within a muscle, organ, or the skull that can require immediate medical attention and be life-threatening. Treatment can vary from basic first aid to emergency surgery. Head impacts are of particular concern because of the risk of traumatic brain injury. Types of Hematoma Hematomas in specific areas of the body have their own complicating factors....

The Reds surprisingly eased past Manchester City in the quarter-final, defeating Pep Guardiola’s men by a 5-1 aggregate scoreline. Even more surprising was Roma’s remarkable comeback against Barcelona, with the Serie A side winning the second leg 3-0 to advance on away goals in a 4-4 aggregate result. Liverpool managed to avoid European powers Real Madrid and Bayern Munich in the semi-final draw, but Henderson said the Reds are taking nothing for granted....

It’s a quick pivot from both parties after joyous eras. The Capitals are moving on from Braden Holtby, the unrestricted free agent who guarded their net for eight postseason runs and helped the team win the Stanley Cup in 2018.

Typically, youth turnout dips during midterms, but the 2018 and 2020 elections give us cause for hope. Youth voting numbers doubled in 2018 and helped Democrats gain 40 seats in the House. In 2020, not only did about half of all young people vote; you were the ones who decided major elections. Youth of color, especially, were instrumental in electing President Biden. Some young people are disillusioned about voting in the upcoming elections because you feel you didn’t get all of what you were promised last time....

Lawrence (Jay Ellis) and Condola shared their first holiday together, which ended miserably. Issa (Issa Rae) and her brother indulged in margaritas and Mariachi.

The 59th Presidential Inauguration official events will look a little different from previous inauguration days, as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Capitol riots mean that the National Mall will be closed to the public. Nearly 200,000 flags have been planted on the National Mall to represent the Americans that would have been in attendance under different circumstances. Those hoping to watch the Inauguration Day events at home may be wondering—what time is it?...
