[Le Dauphiné Libéré] - L’État condamné à dédommager la famille d’un enfant malade de la pollution.

Par sa décision, la cour administrative d’appel de #Lyon confirme que l’État a « commis une faute ». Ce mercredi 19 février, la juridiction a retenu « l’incidence de la pollution comme étant en lien de causalité non pas avec les pathologies de l’enfant, mais avec l’aggravation de celles-ci ».

This NBC story on how mRNA vaccines might show promise in addressing pancreatic cancer was so good, our @ScienceDesk shared it twice. And we’re sharing it a third time because vaccines work, and mRNA vaccines are a phenomenal scientific achievement that should be celebrated.

“Mississippi, a state known for its rich culture and strong heritage, also faces some of the nation’s most glaring health disparities. Among them is the inequity in cervical-cancer prevention and treatment, which is often shaped by racism and systemic discrimination in health care,” writes Barbara Rose Brooks for @msfreepress. The solutions: Investments in community health clinics and cultural competency training, which would allow all Mississippians equal access to preventative health care.

Since Texas brought its near-total abortion ban, no one has studied the statewide effect on people undergoing pregnancy complications. So @ProPublica did it, purchasing and analyzing seven years of hospital discharge data. The findings: The rate of sepsis shot up more than 50 percent for those hospitalized in the second trimester of pregnancy. “This is exactly what we predicted would happen and exactly what we were afraid would happen,” said Dr. Lorie Harper, a maternal-fetal medicine specialist in Austin.

There’s no federal methodology for studying complications that arise during a pregnancy loss. To understand how Texas’ abortion ban is impacting maternal health, we consulted with researchers to craft one.

Here’s how we sifted through data on millions of pregnancy hospitalizations and analyzed the outcomes before and after the ban.

Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared.
—

Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%.

[Thread] Unfortunately, South Dakota #HB1258 was defeated [which would have put more restrictions on #LithiumMining]... And I knew Burgum would betray #NativeAmericans (even though he promised not to).

‘Unleashing American Energy’: Mining and Drilling Accelerated Under Trump Administration

By Angelica (Angie) Solloa • February 12, 2025

"You may have heard that #DebHaaland (Laguna Pueblo) transitioned out of her role as the US Secretary of the Department of Interior and announced her candidacy for Governor New Mexico. Her successor, former North Dakota Governor #DougBurgum, is steadfast in carrying out Trump’s Executive Order 14154 '#UnleashingAmericanEnergy' which aims to accelerate #mining and drilling on federal and #TribalLands.

"On February 3rd, Doug Burgum released this document which outlines all the revoked projects and programs intended to protect land and the people; giving a pathway for #MiningCompanies to hit the ground running across Turtle Island.

"In the #BlackHills, the #SacredLands of the #Lakota Peoples’, mining and drilling companies aren’t hesitating to cash out. Currently, South Dakota House Bill 1258 is under consideration by the House Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee, where it will come to a vote this Thursday, February 13th. Community members and citizens of the area were given just six days’ notice.

WHAT IS HB 1258?

"The passage of South Dakota House Bill 1258 would hold lithium mining to the same standards and laws as silver and gold. Under the current law, lithium mining is treated like mining for sand and gravel, and there are not enough protections for human #health, #food systems, #water, #wildlife, and the #land.

"HB 1258 would offer more accountability and appropriate processes for mining companies that would better protect the land, the people, and the economy of the #Ȟesápa. #NDNCollective, alongside partner the #BlackHillsCleanWaterAlliance, collaborated to spread the word as fast as possible, calling on relatives to swiftly take action ahead of Thursday, February 13th."

▌Extract

The second week of the Year of the Snake did not bode well in Hong Kong, to some quarters to say the least, with a string of bad news demoralising those who have aspired for justice and decency, fairness and openness in the city.

In a strict sense, they are unrelated news. Taken toget...

If the NHS is being let down by its dysfunctional administration as a new Kings Fund report suggests, then Wes Streeting's calll to overhaul NHS IT & communicative practices may not be quite as marginal to solving the ongoing NHS crisis as many critics believe;

but equally, admin problems may reflect staff & budgeting issues that a technological 'solution' will just leave in place?

Ever suspicious of tech-fixes, the later seems more likely to me...

Health advisory: "This flu strain is known to cause myocarditis. Check your pulse to see if it is unusually elevated."

Me: You mean, like a person with an anxiety disorder checking her pulse to see if she has a serious heart condition?...

HA: Also, do you feel unusually exhausted?

Me: You mean, like a sick mom whose toddler gets up at 5am and has been home sick for a week?

... I'm starting to suspect moms with anxiety are hard to diagnose.

Overall, there is rising budget deficit among English NHS Trusts, partly due to staffing costs (temporary & contract staff) driven by both the ongoing staff recruitment & retention problems, and the impact of strikes in 2025.

However, as the FT notes 'trusts with the steepest declines in their finances had on average significantly increased their expenditure on outsourcing care to the independent sector'!

The use of private health providers continues to drain the NHS of money!

#health #NHS

And where IS all that money being saved by killing #USAID and #regimechange ops going? NOT #Health, #Education, or the Welfare of US civilians... #Trump is GOADING the left, or what passes for one in the US, by the attempted killing of covert civilian ops and putting the overt killing of militarized #colonialism IN YOUR FACE, leftie.

Remember how the CDC, FDA, and HHS had to frantically scrub their webpages of all mentions of “transgender” or “gender ideology,” or anything related?

Well, a federal judge has ordered them to put the pages back as litigation from outraged medical providers moves forward. The plaintiffs state that they rely on the critical information when caring for patients.

The Tory engineered crisis in the NHS is clear in everyday waiting lists & rationing of treatment(s), but it is also perhaps even more seriously evident in the growing projected costs of repairs & maintenance delayed;

moreover, the worse cases (those with most risk of disruption to health care) are growing.... whatever else Streeting thinks will help the NHS, job No.1 has to be the repair of vital infrastructure... AI tools are no help there!

This cannot continue
