The New York City Medical Examiner ruled that the drowning deaths of three children on a Coney Island beach in the early hours of Monday morning were homicides.

WASHINGTON, Sept 13 (Reuters) – Three medical journals recently launched independent investigations of possible data manipulation in heart studies led by Temple University researchers, Reuters has learned, adding new scrutiny to a misconduct inquiry by the university and the US government.

The Journal of Molecular and Cellular Cardiology and the Journal of Biological Chemistry are investigating five papers authored by Temple scientists, the journals told Reuters.

A third journal owned by the Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC), last month retracted a paper by Temple researchers on its website after determining that there was evidence of data manipulation. The retracted paper had originally concluded that the widely-used blood thinner, Xarelto, could have a healing effect on hearts.

“We are committed to preserving the integrity of the scholarly record,” Elsevier, which owns the Journal of Molecular and Cellular Cardiology and

A medical assistant and an aspiring entrepreneur were among the four people killed Wednesday in Memphis, Tennessee, in what the major called a “senseless murder rampage.”

Three others were injured in the shooting spree, which stretched across at least eight crime scenes.

Allison Parker, an assistant at Family Practice Center, a medical center in West Memphis, Arkansas, just across the state line, was one of the four people who were killed.

“Our office is grieving the loss of our medical assistant, Allison Parker. She was a victim of the tragic violence in Memphis yesterday,” Dr. Trent Pierce wrote on Facebook.

“Please pray for her family and our entire office staff as we try to process this senseless loss.”

There was no answer at a phone number listed for the office. A message Pierce recorded said that the center was

Asa woman of color who was fortunate to be accepted to medical school 29 years ago, I thought that if I had the intelligence, grit, and credentials, I would succeed. I thought that the profession of medicine operated within a system of meritocracy: work hard and you will be rewarded. I learned the hard way that it isn’t like that.

My post-graduate professional journey has spanned a general surgery residency, fellowships in hospice and palliative medicine and clinical medical ethics, all of which has led me to a rare but much needed integrated clinical practice. But like the trajectories of so many other women and people of color, mine has been encumbered by factors beyond my control, like my gender and the color of my skin. I was aghast to learn that the skills I worked so hard to develop would later be used against me because I didn’t

New LITOseek biomarkers presented at ESMO have identified upregulation of ribosomal biogenesis and TCR signaling with downregulation of interferon gene clusters in responsive patients

LAUSANNE, SWITZERLAND / ACCESSWIRE / September 9, 2022 / Novigenix SA, a leading Swiss biotech that develops and commercializes Immuno-Transcriptomic precision oncology solutions today announced discovery of new Immuno-Transcriptomic signatures for prediction of response to immunotherapy and patient monitoring in metastatic melanoma (MM). The data are presented at the Immuno-Oncology Congress of the European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO) on September 10^th2022 in Paris.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have become one of the main treatments for patients with metastatic cancer. Although ICIs are highly effective with durable results in some patients, only a minority respond and benefit from the therapy. There is therefore a significant unmet medical need for accurate liquid biopsy precision solutions that can select and monitor patients during ICI therapy.

China is gradually getting back to normal after disruptions earlier this year in connection with the Covid pandemic, the local leader of Singapore’s largest private healthcare provider said at the 3rd Forbes China Healthcare Summit on Saturday.

“Covid has presented us with a lot of challenges operationally,” said Dr. Vincent Chia, managing director of Raffles China Healthcare, a subsidiary of Raffles Medical Group in Singapore. “Things are starting to look slightly more relaxed, but in a very coordinated fashion,” he said.

Raffles Medical Group has been operating in China since 2010. It provides healthcare service in eight cities, including Hong Kong. That accounts for more than half of its current total of 14 across Asia.

Louisiana’s insular medical marijuana industry — which is seeing a flood of new customers and a spike in sales this year after smokable flower became legal — is set to expand further.

Earlier this month, the state Pharmacy Board notified seven of the nine legal marijuana pharmacies in Louisiana that they were eligible to open a “satellite” location. So far, the New Orleans pharmacy is the only one to submit formal plans; H&W Drug Store is seeking permission to open a storefront in Metairie.

Several other pharmacy owners are on the hunt for new locations, and say they have plans to open their satellite shops in the coming months.

And the New Orleans region will soon see yet another new pharmacy, after the Pharmacy Board goes through a bid process to pick a second licensee for the area. The Legislature and Gov. John Bel Edwards this year refused to open

BRANSON, Mo. (KY3) – A new study about weed vaping shows it could send toxic gas to your lungs.

from Portland State University found evidence of vaping cannabinoid acetates forms a deadly gas that could injure your lungs Researchers. That toxic gas, called ketene, is released when cannabinoid acetates are heated under vaping. In 2019 researchers found ketene to be dangerous and a possible source of the vaping-induced lung injury outbreak in 2020 that caused thousands of people to be hospitalized.

The study provided results based on one puff, showing ketene levels known to be dangerous to a user’s health. Researchers also mentioned that people who use these vape products likely smoke them for more than a single puff.

CoxHealth Branson Community Educator Jim Brawner explains why prolonged exposure to these products could concern users.

“As more studies come out like this one, pay attention to it,” said Brawner. “If
