Nurse charged in the deaths of 17 patients berated and bullied diabetic man before giving lethal insulin dose, suit says

Main

The family of a severely diabetic man whom authorities said died at the hands of a nurse overseeing his care last year has filed a wrongful death suit against the facility where he lived, alleging it allowed the nurse to berate and bully him, and ultimately cause his death.Former nursing home nurse Heather Pressdee has already been charged with administering excessive doses of insulin to patients — 17 of whom died.In total, she allegedly mistreated 22 patients — some diabetic and others not — with the dangerous doses she administered at five different care facilities from 2020 to this year, according to the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office.Now, a new lawsuit has been filed against one of those facilities, Sunnyview Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Butler County, Pennsylvania, where Nicholas Cymbol…

How to safely view the upcoming solar eclipse

Main

People across the continental United States will witness a partial or total solar eclipse next month, but you’ll need to take precautions to avoid injuring your eyes. On April 8, the moon will pass between Earth and the sun, temporarily blocking the sun’s light. During the celestial alignment, afternoon skies will darken for a short time along a path more than 100 miles wide, which cuts across Mexico, part of the U.S. and a small section of eastern Canada.Those outside this so-called path of totality will be able to see a partial solar eclipse, with the moon obscuring only part of the sun.

Record dengue surge in Latin America spurs a warning for preventative measures

Main

A record surge in dengue cases throughout Latin America and the Caribbean prompted the head of the Pan American Health Organization to warn of the need for proactive measures to curb the virus that is transmitted by mosquitoes. PAHO Director Dr. Jarbas Barbosa said in a press briefing Thursday that as of March 26, the region had seen more than 3.5 million cases of dengue and more than 1,000 deaths."This is cause for concern, as it represents three times more cases than those reported for the same period in 2023, a record year with more than 4.5 million cases reported in the region,” he said.As of March, the hardest-hit countries in Latin America are Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina — which have accounted for 92% of the dengue cases and 87% of…

How the brain chooses which memories are important enough to save and which to let fade away

Main

Memory can be mysterious. Certain life events remain clear in our minds no matter how long ago they occurred, while episodes from the prior day may already be fuzzy and difficult to recall.A study, published Thursday in Science, reveals why this happens. Scientists have found that the brains of humans and other mammals have a system for choosing which life experiences are important enough to be cemented into long-term memory — and which will be allowed to fade away.Experiments in mice revealed that during waking hours, cells in the brain’s hippocampus spark in a specific pattern called "sharp-wave ripples," which tag important experiences for movement into long-term memory storage during sleep. Although the research was performed in mice, certain brain processes have remained almost the same as mammals have evolved, so…

CDC warns of increase in bacterial illnesses that can lead to meningitis and possibly death

Main

U.S. health officials are warning of an increase in rare bacterial illnesses that can lead to meningitis and possible death.The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued an alert to U.S. doctors on Thursday about an increase in cases of one type of invasive meningococcal disease, most of it due to a specific strain of bacteria.Last year, 422 cases of it were reported in the U.S. — the most in a year since 2014. Already, 143 cases have been reported this year, meaning infections appear to be on track to surpass 2023, the CDC said. Most of the cases last year did not involve meningitis, though at least 17 died. The cases were disproportionately more common in adults ages 30 to 60, in Black people and in people who have…

U.S. measles cases this year have already surpassed the 2023 total

Main

Measles cases have spiked in the last three months, driven in part by outbreaks centered in a migrant shelter in Chicago, an elementary school in southeast Florida and a children’s hospital and day care in Philadelphia. The United States had recorded 64 cases across 17 states as of Thursday, already surpassing last year’s total of 59, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.Most cases reported this year were linked to international travel, and the majority were among children who had not received a measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine.Two doses of the vaccine are 97% effective, but the CDC said in an advisory to health care providers last week that "pockets of low [vaccination] coverage leave some communities at higher risk for outbreaks."Chicago's case count had reached 33 as…

Sexually transmitted infection rates have risen sharply among adults 55 and older, CDC data shows

Main

Sexually transmitted infections are becoming more common in older adults.Rates of chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis in people ages 55 and up more than doubled in the U.S. over the 10-year period from 2012 to 2022, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The number of syphilis cases among people ages 55 and up increased seven-fold during those 10 years, while gonorrhea cases increased nearly five-fold and chlamydia cases more than tripled during that time. A presentation to be delivered Thursday — part of a lead-up event to the European Congress of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases next month — warns that both doctors and older adults are overlooking the risks of STIs in this age group. “We talk about smoking, we talk about diet, exercise, so many things,…
