[ad_1] An off-duty pilot has been arrested and charged with 83 counts of attempted murder after allegedly trying to shut down a plane's engines during a flight, causing the pilot to divert the aircraft.The 44-year-old man, who was sitting in the spare seat of the cockpit, was "subdued" by the two pilots flying the aircraft and arrested after the plane landed safely at around 6.30pm local time on Sunday evening. Horizon Air flight 2059 from Everett to San Francisco was diverted to Portland, where the suspect, named as Alaska Airlines pilot, Joe Emerson, was held by police.Alaska Airlines, which owns Horizon, said in a statement on Monday that the flight was diverted due to a "credible security" threat linked to a person in the cockpit's flight deck jump seat."The jump seat occupant unsuccessfully attempted to disrupt the operation of the engines," the airline said. "The Horizon captain and first officer quickly responded, engine power was not lost and the crew secured the aircraft without incident."The flight crew followed "appropriate FAA procedures and guidance from air traffic control" in landing at Portland International Airport. "The jump seat occupant is currently in custody and the event is being investigated by law enforcement authorities, which includes the FBI and the Port of Portland Police Department."All passengers on board were able to travel on a later flight." After landing, the 44-year-old was arrested by Port of Portland police and charged with 83 counts of attempted murder, 83 counts of reckless endangerment, and a count of endangering an aircraft, according to the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office, NBC said.No weapons were involved, the airline said.Read more from Sky News:Investigation after planes nearly collide above airportCause of Luton Airport car park fire revealed as man arrestedPlane skids off runway while landing at Leeds Bradford AirportAudio of the plane's communications with air traffic control appear to reveal an attempt to turn off the plane's engines."As a heads-up. We've got the guy that tried to shut the engines down out of the cockpit. It doesn't sound like he's got any issue in the back right now. I think he's subdued," the pilot of the plane told air traffic control."Other than that we want law enforcement as soon as we get on the ground and parked."The incident occurred on a 76-seat Embraer 175 plane.Typically, off-duty airline pilots sit in the jump seat of the flight deck behind the pilots to fly back to their home base if seats are available.

[ad_1] QUESTION:   We go now to Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who is at the State Department.  Good morning to you, Mr. Secretary. SECRETARY BLINKEN:  Good morning, Margaret.  Good to be with you. QUESTION:  Tension is very high in the region.  Are you changing your security posture?  Are you pulling any U.S. personnel out of the area? SECRETARY BLINKEN:  Margaret, we are concerned at the possibility of Iranian proxies escalating their attacks against our own personnel, our own people.  We’re taking every measure to make sure that we can defend them and, if necessary, respond decisively.  Not at all what we’re looking for, not at all what we want, but we’ll be prepared if that’s what they choose to do. QUESTION:  So that sounds like quite possibly pulling people out.  In terms of the threat from Iran you just referenced there, President Biden in his Oval Office address said that the U.S. would hold Iran accountable.  What does accountable mean? SECRETARY BLINKEN:  Well, what you’ve seen already, Margaret, is a very clear message from the President, backed up by the deployment of two of our largest aircraft carrier battle groups, to make sure that it’s clear:  No one should take advantage of this moment to escalate, to further attacks on Israel, or for that matter attacks on us, on our personnel.  And this is not by way of in terms of what we’re doing by provocation; it’s designed to deter, designed to make clear that no one should use this moment in any way to escalate. QUESTION:  We’ll stay tuned.  In terms of what’s happening in Gaza, I know there are an estimated five to six hundred Americans there.  Is there any chance Israel lets some of those Americans out or Egypt allows some of those Americans in? SECRETARY BLINKEN:  You’re exactly right.  And to date, at least, Hamas has blocked them from leaving, showing once again its total disregard for civilians of any kind who are stuck in Gaza. QUESTION:  Have you asked the Israeli Government to delay in order to give you more time to broker the release of these hostages? SECRETARY BLINKEN:  First, step back for a second because it’s important to remember what happened – it’s incredible how quickly that gets lost – because it was only a couple of weeks ago that Hamas invaded Israel with its terrorist fighters and slaughtered – and I use that word very deliberately – slaughtered so many people. QUESTION:  Right. SECRETARY BLINKEN:  Again, men, women, young children, babies, old people, you name it.  And they continue to rain rockets down on Israel.  When I was there a few days ago, we were in the – we had to take shelter a couple of times because of incoming rockets from Hamas. QUESTION:  Understood. SECRETARY BLINKEN:  So my point is this:  No country – no country – can be expected to tolerate this, to live with this.  And as we’ve said from the start, Israel has both the right and even the obligation not only to defend itself but to try to make sure that, to the best of its ability, this can’t happen again. So we’ve talked to the Israelis about what they’re planning.  We give them our best advice.  It’s important, as we’ve said, not only what they do but how they do it, particularly when it comes to making sure that civilians are as protected as they possibly can be in this crossfire of Hamas’s making. But in terms of what we’re talking to Israel about in their – with regard to their military operations, it really is focused on both how they do it and how best to achieve the results that they seek. QUESTION:  So let’s talk about how they do it.  You’re right to lay out just how absolutely horrific that attack was two weeks ago.  Turning the page to what has happened during the following two weeks, UNICEF says 1,524 children have killed in the Gaza Strip during these bombings.  Why isn’t the U.S. calling for at least a temporary ceasefire? SECRETARY BLINKEN:  First, Margaret, when I hear the stories, when I see the pictures of young children who have lost their lives in this conflict of Hamas’s making – whoever they are, wherever they are, whether they’re Palestinians, whether they’re Israelis, whether they’re Jews or Muslims – it hits me and I know it hits virtually everyone right in the heart.  And that’s why it’s so important to do everything possible to protect them, and why it’s so important to do everything possible to get assistance to those who need it – food, medicine, water.  We’ve — QUESTION:  So why not ask for at least a temporary pause in the bombing — SECRETARY BLINKEN:  We’ve seen — QUESTION:  — as was proposed at the UN this week? SECRETARY BLINKEN:  We’ve seen, first of all, that in order to get assistance in, we’ve had – we’ve had that happen. – and you saw the first 20 trucks go in yesterday; I expect more will follow today and the day after that – we want to make sure that we have sustained delivery of food, medicine, water, the things that people need. At the same time, I said something a minute ago that we have to remember:  Israel has to do everything it can to make sure this doesn’t happen again.  Freezing things in place where they are now would allow Hamas to remain where it is and to repeat what it’s done sometime in the future.  No country could accept that. QUESTION:  One of my colleagues, who is on the ground in Israel and has traveled to the West Bank, conducted an interview with Mr. Mustafa Barghouti, a Palestinian politician I’m sure you know.  He said he doesn’t understand why President Biden, when he was in Israel, did not say, “Enough is enough.  You wanted to respond and you responded; you killed 4,000 Palestinians.  Stop.”  Instead, you’re encouraging a ground invasion.”  How do you respond to “enough is enough”? SECRETARY BLINKEN:  “Enough is enough” should have been the case with Hamas two weeks ago.  It would be good to hear the entire world speaking clearly and with one voice about the actions that Hamas took, about the slaughter of people, about the fact that that should be absolutely intolerable, unacceptable to anyone, anywhere, any country, any people. Second — QUESTION:  In terms of U.S. interests in the region, one of America’s closest allies, the king of Jordan, gave an impassioned speech saying “Palestinian lives [seem to] matter less than Israeli ones.  Our lives matter less than other lives.  The application of international law is optional.  And human rights appear to have boundaries based on races and religions.”  That’s a warning from one of America’s closest friends in the region that this is a dangerous message to be sending and it could have blowback.  Are you concerned? SECRETARY BLINKEN:  Margaret, every life – Palestinian, Israeli, Jewish, Muslim, Arab – every life has equal worth.  When I see the reports, when I see the photographs, when I hear the stories of young children, Palestinian children, who’ve been killed or injured, it hits me right in the gut, too, just as it does when I hear – when I see these other stories, wherever it is. We had here in our own country a little boy, six years old, Wadea in Chicago, who was viciously murdered, apparently because he was a Palestinian American.  A little boy, six years old, didn’t do anything to anyone.  I feel that strongly across the board, no matter where it is. But this is on Hamas.  And the fact is Hamas doesn’t represent the Palestinian people.  It doesn’t represent their just cause.  It doesn’t represent their aspiration, and legitimate aspiration for a state of their own.  On the contrary, it does everything to make life worse and more miserable for the (inaudible). QUESTION:  Does the U.S. assess that it is actually possible for Israel to destroy both Hamas as an entity and its ideology?  Is it actually a military possibility? SECRETARY BLINKEN:  The best way, the only way to defeat an ideology, no matter how warped – and in the case of Hamas, it’s about as warped as it possibly can be – is to make sure that there is a better, a clearer alternative for people.  And that alternative is very clear and it’s very stark.  We have on the one hand countries throughout the region who want to come together to integrate, to normalize relations, and to lift up the rights of the Palestinian people to be able to have a future where they work together, go to school together, do business together, travel to each other’s countries.  That’s one vision. QUESTION:  Yeah. SECRETARY BLINKEN:  The other vision is the vision that Hamas has – death, destruction, nihilism, darkness.  Now, the responsibility that those of us who believe in the first vision have is to do everything possible to make it real so that people not only see it but they can achieve it.  That’s exactly what we were working on before this horrific attack on October 7th, and that’s the vision that we need to get back to. QUESTION:  Okay. SECRETARY BLINKEN:  But at the same time, we also have to deal with the fact that Hamas represents an active, ongoing threat, and that has to be dealt with too. QUESTION:  Mr. Secretary, thank you for your time this morning. SECRETARY BLINKEN:  Thanks, Margaret. [ad_2]

[ad_1] Key takeaways This is the first study to examine the impact of school redistricting on firearm violence in urban communities, examining data from 63,000 urban census tracts. Any school redistricting event was associated with a 10.6% higher firearm incidence rate compared with communities that had no redistricting, and school boundary adjustments were associated with a 21.3% increase. In areas that had a school redistricting event, firearm violence increased 14% in the year the redistricting occurred over the previous year. Newswise — BOSTON (October 20, 2023): Adjustments in school boundaries and other forms of school redistricting have been linked to spikes in shooting-related injuries in urban areas, according to new study results being presented at the American College of Surgeons (ACS) Clinical Congress 2023. Sarabeth Spitzer, MD, MPH, a general surgery resident at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, presented the study results looking at school redistricting data, firearm injury incident data, and community-level sociodemographic data for 63,000 urban census tracts on a year-to-year basis from 2014 through the 2019-2020 school year. The study used data from the National Center for Education Statistics, Gun Violence Archive, and the American Community Survey.  Key findings  Among the studied census tracts, 5,665, or 1.5% of all tracts, had some type of school redistricting event.  After adjusting for community characteristics, such as sociodemographic data, any school redistricting was associated with a 10.6% higher firearm incidence rate compared to communities that did not redistrict schools. School boundary adjustments specifically were associated with a 21.3% increase in firearm injury incidence rate. Observations on study results  While the evidence linking social disruptions and community violence has been well vetted, this is the first study looking at school redistricting specifically, Dr. Spitzer said. Along with the existing evidence surrounding social disruptions, anecdotal evidence from teachers reporting that they noticed a spike in violence in the process of school redistricting provided rationale for the study, she said.  Dr. Spitzer explained how the study defined school redistricting: “School redistricting, at its most basic level, is when there are changes to where kids go to school based on their home address,” she said. “This happens for various reasons, often due to resource distribution in a community.”  Different types of redistricting exist, which the study doesn’t specify, but they include combining or rearranging school districts and changing boundaries. “Only a few kids are affected, but the resulting impact is that there is social destabilization in some way because, as everyone who has attended middle school and high school knows, you get to know the community that you’re a part of and there are social hierarchies that exist and a known quantity of the people in your area,” she said. “When you have this shuffling of school districts, it means that there are new social interactions and new hierarchies that need to be formed. And you have a disruption as a result of that.” These disruptions not only impact children, but parents, as well, who may have to change work routines, and neighbors that families might rely on to watch out for their children, she said. The study compared firearm incidents in census tracts for the year a school redistricting event occurred compared with the prior year. “We saw that in the year with a redistricting event, there was a 14% increase in firearm violence compared to the year prior,” Dr. Spitzer said. This means policymakers could target resources, such as sending in counselors and expanding training in the ACS STOP THE BLEED® program, to address firearm violence in areas that undergo school redistricting, she added. The ACS STOP THE BLEED® program provides training to anyone to save a life in a bleeding emergency. It has trained more than 3 million people. The ACS operates the program under a license granted by the Department of Defense. Dr. Spitzer acknowledged the study data predate the COVID-19 pandemic. “We would love to have more recent data, but, if anything, what we saw in the pandemic was a huge spike in firearm violence,” she said. “We think that part of that is actually due to social destabilization.” Future research, hopefully, would draw on more recent data to investigate the relationship between school redistricting and firearm violence post-pandemic, she said.  Study coauthors are Tanujit Dey, PhD; Ali Salim, MD, FACS; and Molly P. Jarman, PhD; of Brigham and Women’s Hospital. Citation: Spitzer S, et al.

[ad_1] Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif addresses his supporters gathered at a park during an event held to welcome him in Lahore on October 21, 2023. —AFPKARACHI: The Aurat March, Karachi chapter, has criticised PMLN Quaid Nawaz Sharif for misogynistic comments against women in politics.In his Saturday’s address at Minar-e-Pakistan, Nawaz Sharif had lauded the women participants of the rally, saying, “No dance to the drumbeats is going on here,” and asked his audience to raise their voice if they understood what he meant. Though Nawaz did not name anyone, his remarks have been taken as aimed at PTI rallies.The Aurat March organisers took to X, and said the PMLN head cracked a political one-liner at women’s political activities.The organisers said Nawaz Sharif has not learnt so far that passing a good-bad value judgment on women is a thing of the stone age. They said having an interest in dancing or singing should not be used to question a woman’s or anyone’s character, the tweet said. They advised him to step out of his misogynistic views and embrace a more enlightened perspective. “Freedom from slut-shaming, freedom from victim-blaming — it’s our right, freedom!” the tweet said.

[ad_1] Israel increases evacuations as clashes with Hezbollah escalateAs conflict intensified on Israel’s border with Lebanon, Israeli authorities said they were expanding a state-funded evacuation plan to an additional 14 villages. Along with a rare airstrike on the West Bank, the fighting raised fears that the war could expand.Israel’s military said that attacks from Hezbollah, the Iran-backed militia that controls southern Lebanon, had resulted in civilian and military casualties. Amid concerns that the conflict could spill over, the Pentagon said on Saturday that it was sending an antimissile battery and battalions of the Patriot ground-based air defense system to the Middle East. Israeli forces massed along the border with Gaza yesterday ahead of an expected ground invasion of the enclave. Israel’s military efforts to eradicate Hamas “may take a month, two, or three, but in the end, Hamas will no longer exist,” the country’s defense minister, Yoav Gallant, said yesterday.Violence also has been surging across the Israeli-occupied West Bank, where Israel carried out an airstrike against what it described as an underground “terror compound” beneath a mosque in the city of Jenin. The claims had not been independently verified. Two people were killed, according to Palestinian health officials.Gaza aid: Humanitarian groups and the U.N. continued to warn that the first shipment of aid that arrived in Gaza on Saturday — 20 trucks carrying food, water and medicine — was just a fraction of what was needed. Another 14 aid trucks entered Gaza last night.The toll: Israel’s bombardment continued “almost unabated,” while Palestinian armed groups continued with their “indiscriminate rocket firing,” the U.N. said. The death toll in Gaza has reached at least 4,385, and there are more than 13,500 injuries, according to the Hamas-run Ministry of Health. In Israel, no new fatalities were reported, but injuries had increased to almost 5,000, the U.N. said.A warning: The Israeli military warned that residents of northern Gaza who did not flee to the southern part of the enclave “may be considered a partner in a terrorist organization.” But many people there said that leaving was not an option because of the cost and that it would not guarantee safety.“We can’t even afford to eat,” Amani Abu Odeh said. “We don’t have the money to leave.” An Australian mogul may testify against Trump Anthony Pratt, one of Australia’s wealthiest men, made his way into Donald Trump’s inner circle with money and flattery. In covert recordings, Pratt described Trump’s business practices as being “like the mafia.”Their interactions were ultimately swept up in one of the two federal criminal cases against Trump, in which the former U.S. president is charged with taking classified documents from the White House when he left office. Pratt could testify against Trump at a trial next year.In his interviews with prosecutors, Pratt recounted how Trump once revealed to him sensitive information about U.S. nuclear submarines — including the number of warheads they travel with and their stealthy proximity to Russian waters — an episode that Trump denies.Indigenous Australians say ‘reconciliation is dead’ Australia’s rejection last week of the Indigenous Voice to Parliament — a proposed advisory body — is likely to lead to an irreversible shift in the nation’s relationship with its first peoples.Many Indigenous people perceived it as a denial of their past and their place in Australia, which is far behind other colonized nations in reconciling with its first inhabitants. The defeat of the Voice could not only derail any further reconciliation, but could also unleash a much more confrontational approach to Indigenous rights and race relations in Australia.THE LATEST NEWSAsia PacificThe Chinese video game Honkai: Star Rail combines a taste of the Qing dynasty with the digital age, like holographic bonsai and starskiffs inspired by the third-century poet Zhang Hua.The game borrows from the emerging literary subgenre of silkpunk — created by Ken Liu, author of the “Dandelion Dynasty” series and translator of “The Three-Body Problem” — which Liu said imagined modern worlds founded upon East Asian traditions and mythology.To take control, she had to runNasreen Parveen was just 16, but her family had already arranged an engagement for her.

[ad_1] A coroner's inquest is slated to begin Monday into the 2019 killings of a Montreal woman and her two young children, as well as the death of her husband, who is believed to have killed them before taking his own life. The inquiry was ordered after a coroner's report that was critical of prosecutors and a provincial judge, saying they could have done more to prevent the deaths of Dahia Khellaf, 42, and her sons, four-year-old Adam and two-year-old Aksil. Coroner Alain Manseau concluded they had been strangled to death and Nabil Yssaad was likely the killer. The couple had separated at the time of the killing, and Khellaf was in the process of divorcing her husband. Yssaad, 46, died after he jumped from a sixth-floor window at a hospital south of Montreal a day before the bodies were discovered. Without providing details, Quebec's chief coroner said in July 2022 that new facts had come to light that required further investigation. The inquiry is expected to last over two weeks and will be presided over by coroner Andree Kronström at the courthouse in Joliette, Que., northeast of Montreal. -- This report by The Canadian Press was first published on Oct. 23, 2023.

[ad_1] OTTAWA - Defence Minister Bill Blair is expected to face further questions today about the evidence Canada has gathered to determine a rocket blast at a hospital in Gaza City did not originate in Israel. Blair made the statement Saturday night, five days after the attack at the al-Ahli Arab hospital. The blast came nine days after a renewed conflict in the region following an assault by Hamas militants in Israel and retaliation by Israel in the Gaza Strip. Blair says the Canadian Forces Intelligence Command did its own analysis of evidence and reached a conclusion that aligns with findings of the United States and France. Israel has said satellite evidence and intercepted communications show the rocket was fired by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad and French authorities say the size of the rocket itself points to Palestinian not Israeli sources. Canada did not provide details on what evidence it used to reach its conclusion. A weekend conference in Egypt seeking a route to peace left more questions than answers about what may happen next in the conflict which saw 1,400 Israelis killed in the initial Hamas attack and at least 4,600 Palestinians in the subsequent Israeli airstrikes. Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly was in attendance at the conference in Cairo and her office said she may be able to speak to reporters about the event today. Canada has been calling for Israel and Egypt to do more to ensure needed humanitarian aid gets into Gaza. An initial small shipment of food, medical supplies and fuel was made over the weekend but the need is high. Joly herself last week called Gaza the worst place in the world to live right now. Egypt and Jordan both made clear at the summit that they will not allow Israel to push 2.3 million Palestinians out of the Gaza Strip, while Israel has made clear it intends to continue its military action until Hamas has been rooted out. The latest conflict began on Oct. 7 when Hamas militants attacked Israel with rockets and a ground assault across the border with the Gaza Strip border, hitting a music festival and several agricultural co-operatives known as kibbutzim. The attack killed 1,400 people, including at least six Canadians, injured several thousand others and saw Hamas take more than 200 people hostage, including children. Israel responded with force, firing rockets into Gaza, and the fighting has since killed an estimated 4,600 Palestinians. Hamas is a militant organization that took control in the Gaza Strip in 2007. Canada has labelled them a terrorist organization since 2002. Israel and Egypt both blockaded Gaza after Hamas took over. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Oct. 23, 2023. [ad_2]

[ad_1] Comment on this storyCommentAdd to your saved storiesSaveAfter decades of expansion, the nation’s largest drugstore chains are closing hundreds of stores as they reorient their operations against rising competition, a crush of opioid lawsuits and other forces — relegating many already-vulnerable communities into pharmacy deserts.Rite Aid, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection last week, CVS and Walgreens have signaled over the past two years plans to collectively shutter more than 1,500 stores. Public health experts have already seen the fallout, noting that the first neighborhoods to lose their pharmacies are often predominantly Black, Latinx and low-income.“According to our estimates, about one in four neighborhoods are pharmacy deserts across the country,” said Dima Qato, an associate professor at the University of Southern California who studies pharmacy access and health equity. “These closures are disproportionately affecting communities that need pharmacies most.”Pharmacies can be lifelines in rural or low-income areas, particularly in food deserts — areas that have limited access to healthy and affordable food. Pharmacists are often the most accessible health care professional for these communities, said Lorece Edwards, a professor of public health at Morgan State University who focuses on health disparities.Rite Aid files for bankruptcy amid opioid lawsuits, growing debtBut for national pharmacy chains, retrenchment has been a long time coming, retail analysts say, as increased competition, changing consumer behaviors, retail crime, staffing shortages and minimal store investment come to a head. They’re also feeling a comedown from pandemic-era sales of coronavirus vaccines, at-home test kits and other products.“The economics of running those stores have just unraveled, and they’re not as profitable as they once were,” said Neil Saunders, managing director of the analytics company GlobalData Retail. “Retailers are looking to offload them.”Pharmacies facing whiplashIn a different era, the corner drugstore was the model of convenience, the place to not only fill prescriptions but also buy snacks, birthday cards and household staples. In the 1990s and early 2000s, CVS and Walgreens started putting down roots across the country, edging out the independents. Today, the nation’s two largest pharmacy chains have more than 9,000 and 8,700 locations, respectively, and a combined $455.2 billion in sales in 2022.But now consumers have more options, analysts say, many of which are cheaper and more convenient. They’re also more cautious as inflation — which shot up to 40-year highs in 2022 and remains elevated — weighs on discretionary spending.“Now we’ve got players like Dollar General that’s moved in, we’ve got expansion of supermarkets, and Walmart is more of a destination in many of these areas. So that’s really cleaned off some of the trade of these stores,” Saunders said.And moving more merchandise behind plexiglass barriers to discourage theft and violence has lent a dystopian feel to some locations. Front-of-store sales at Rite Aid fell 4.4 percent in the latest quarter. CVS saw a nearly 2 percent sales decline.Meanwhile, retail giants like Amazon and Walmart have beefed up their pharmacy and medical treatment offerings, and typically offer more competitive pricing on such household essentials as toothpaste, paper towels and laundry detergent. (Amazon founder Jeff Bezos owns The Washington Post, whose interim chief executive, Patty Stonesifer, sits on Amazon’s board.)Nor has the sector been immune to the labor unrest that set off a frenzy of activism from Hollywood writers to Detroit autoworkers. Pharmacy employees at CVS and Walgreens have staged walkouts, alleging that poor working conditions are putting them and patients at risk. Pharmacists, technicians and support staff claim that increased demands on understaffed teams — such as administering vaccines while battling hundreds of backlogged prescriptions — have become untenable and are impeding their ability to do their jobs responsibly.Drugstore chains are “shooting themselves in the foot” by failing to invest in pharmacy staffing, Saunders said, because the pharmacy is the one thing about these chains that set them apart from other retail competitors. If service is bad or prescriptions are delayed, it will put customers off even further, he said.The pharmacy giants have sought to shore up their positions through consolidation and by syncing up with insurance companies in ways that steer patients back to them. Aetna patients can go to any pharmacy, but they’ll get a better deal at CVS, which acquired the insurer in 2018. Blue Cross Blue Shield clients have a similar setup with Walgreens. Rite Aid, has no such relationship with an insurer.Independent pharmacies with no corporate umbrella, which make up 19,432 locations nationally as of Oct. 15 ― more locations than any one branded pharmacy chain ― are also left out in the cold, industry officials say.“This landscape of vertical integration of businesses across different services has put pharmacies who cannot participate at a huge disadvantage,” said Mariana Socal, associate scientist at Johns Hopkins University’s Bloomberg School of Public Health.The ‘urban health penalty’For Patrice La Vigne, a freelance journalist in rural Healy, Alaska, filling a prescription means a two-hour drive.The town has no year-round clinic, hospital or drugstore, she says. That means her husband, who has a chronic illness, must head north to Fairbanks for in-person treatments. It’s a familiar trip for most of Healy’s roughly 1,000 year-round residents, who use Facebook to coordinate trips to Walgreens, Safeway, Fred Meyer or Costco.“For us, it’s a trade-off of living in a remote area of Alaska,” La Vigne, 45, said. “I think for the most part the community … would prefer to have a pharmacy here.”A rural area can be considered a pharmacy desert if residents are more than five miles from the nearest drugstore, Qato said. But in urban centers, where residents may be reliant on public transportation, the radius shrinks to half a mile.Though the number of pharmacies in the United States has hovered near 64,000 since 2014, there’s been a “distribution shift,” according to Jenny Guadamuz, an assistant professor of public health at the University of California at Berkeley. Pharmacies are leaving low-income and majority Black and Latinx neighborhoods and expanding in predominantly White and middle- to higher-income areas, she said.Public health experts are concerned this redistribution could worsen long-standing racial and economic disparities in health care outcomes, too. It’s what Edwards calls the “urban health penalty.”“This has been going on historically, and that pretty much just exacerbates preexisting health disparities,” she said. “It interrupts care and interrupts all the access to medical advice, access to vaccines, access to food, access to staples.”Racial minorities in the United States already are at a higher risk of diabetes and high blood pressure, for example. Children in low-income areas have higher rates of asthma and mental health issues, Edwards said.And studies have shown that pharmacy access directly affects how closely people adhere to medication regimes set out by their doctors, Guadamuz said. Seniors with complicated health issues are more prone to become dependent on a pharmacist with whom they have a face-to-face relationship.“Patients have long-term relationships with their pharmacies,” Guadamuz said. “When a pharmacy closes, they have to find a new one that meets all their needs, that takes their insurance and is affordable, but in neighborhoods with people of color, and rural areas … they’re just less likely to exist anymore.”Pharmacies also offer needed medical equipment, over-the-counter drugs and food, Edwards said, and many also have self-service blood pressure monitoring machines.“All of these things are coming out of communities that are already distressed,” Edwards said.The retailers have also grappled with a wave of lawsuits tied to the opioid epidemic, which has claimed more than 300,000 lives in the United States since 2000.Walgreens and CVS reached settlements of $10 billion with multiple states, and Kroger agreed to pay $1.2 billion. Rite Aid reached a $30 million opioid settlement in 2022 with the West Virginia attorney general’s office but faces numerous consolidated cases in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio and with the Justice Department.Overdoses soared even as prescription pain pills plungedRite Aid, which said it lost $1 billion in the months leading up to its Oct. 15 bankruptcy filing, is shutting 154 locations of its remaining 2,100 stores, according to a filing Thursday in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in New Jersey. This includes 39 locations in Pennsylvania, 31 in California, 20 in New York, 19 in Michigan and six in Maryland. Many of the initial closures appear in suburban outposts of major metro areas, including Detroit, Los Angeles and Philadelphia. This is on top of the more than 200 stores the Philadelphia-based retailer has closed over the past two years.In a statement to The Post, Rite Aid said it is committed to improving access to critical health services across its markets. “Our small-format store pilot is specifically designed to provide access to pharmacy services in ‘pharmacy deserts’ and underserved communities.”As part of its bankruptcy court-supervised store closures, the company that it has “conducted additional research to help ensure we do not create pharmacy deserts in the communities we serve.”Walgreens, which announced in June that 150 U.S. locations would close by the end of next summer, said in a statement that it is committed to driving equitable access to its pharmacy care and that it utilizes targeted pharmacy services like same-day prescription delivery to help underserved areas.“We also engage in key alliances to reach vulnerable populations, as we have a long history of working with local churches, civic groups and national public service organizations to deliver lifesaving vaccines to medically underserved populations.”In 2021, CVS announced it would shut down approximately 900 stores over the next three years. From 2018 to 2020, it closed 244 locations. CVS did not respond to The Post’s request for comment.Independent pharmacies are under pressure, too, due to many of the same forces buffeting their corporate competitors. A recent survey from the National Community Pharmacists Association shows independent pharmacies reported the slimmest profit margins since the organization started collecting that data 10 years ago.Upcoming changes to how the government handles Medicare payments could worsen matters, says Ronna Hauser, senior vice president for the trade group. A rule taking effect Jan. 1 is expected to reduce pharmacy payments, she said.“Cash-flow is going to be a real concern,” the first three to six months of 2024, Hauser said. “We are concerned that there could be closures due to this cash flow crunch … and we’re very concerned about access points for patients.”David Ovalle contributed to this report.

[ad_1] KUALA LUMPUR: This week, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim proposed the creation of a free trade agreement between the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). Such an agreement would be the first of its kind between ASEAN and Gulf states, he said in his speech at the ASEAN-GCC Summit in Saudi Arabia. "This agreement is crucial in advancing progressive, inclusive, and sustainable growth, especially as we recover from the COVID-19 pandemic and face geopolitical uncertainties," he added. A 10-member bloc of more than 600 million people, ASEAN has aimed to integrate its economies worth US$2.3 trillion through trade, investment, and harmonized standards and customs procedures. However, some members with export-reliant economies have provided access to their key markets to certain countries. ASEAN is part of the Regional Cooperation Economic Partnership (RCEP), including China, Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand. [ad_2]

[ad_1] Key Takeaways Trauma centers with the highest pediatric readiness scores (93 or greater) on a national assessment have much lower death rates than centers scoring lower. All trauma centers should address gaps in pediatric emergency care — most importantly, the lack of having a pediatric-specific quality improvement plan. Newswise — BOSTON (October 20, 2023): Children initially treated at trauma centers with the highest level of preparedness to care for children, called pediatric readiness, are significantly less likely to die than those initially treated at trauma facilities with lower pediatric readiness levels, new research shows. The findings are being presented at the American College of Surgeons (ACS) Clinical Congress 2023. “What happens in that first hour after injury really impacts whether you survive, so rapid access to trauma center care for kids is important,” said principal investigator Aaron Jensen, MD, FACS, trauma medical director at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) Benioff Children’s Hospital Oakland.  “But most children in the United States receive initial trauma care at non-pediatric centers because they are more readily available,” Dr. Jensen said. Trauma centers that specialize in treating children have the comprehensive infrastructure and resources needed to care for injured children, Dr. Jensen said. Emergency departments (EDs) in centers without comprehensive pediatric capabilities must be ready to resuscitate and stabilize severely injured children and quickly transfer them to pediatric trauma centers, he noted.  Study details In this study, the investigators aimed to identify a minimum threshold of pediatric readiness among trauma centers that represents the lowest chance of patient death. To do so, they used data from the 2021 national assessment administered by the National Pediatric Readiness Project (NPRP).*  The NPRP works to ensure that all EDs in the U.S. are prepared to provide high-quality emergency care for children. It uses a voluntary survey for EDs to self-assess pediatric readiness across six domains: administration and care coordination, personnel, quality improvement, patient safety, policies and procedures, and equipment and supplies. Survey responses are used to create a weighted pediatric readiness score that ranges from zero to 100. The new study included 790 U.S. trauma centers, 630 of which completed the NPRP’s 2021 national assessment, contributed data to the ACS National Trauma Data Bank® (NTDB), and treated at least some children from newborns through age 15 years. Most centers were not pediatric trauma centers, Dr. Jensen said. The research team used ACS Pediatric Trauma Quality Improvement Program risk-adjusted models to estimate the adjusted odds of dying in each trauma center. Center-level adjusted mortality estimates were then compared across quartiles of ED pediatric readiness at the initial treating trauma center. Centers that reported pediatric readiness in the top 25th percentile (a score of 93 or higher) had the lowest adjusted odds of death, the investigators reported. This high-readiness quartile had 17 to 27 percent lower adjusted odds of death than any other quartile. Gaps in care Among the lower-scoring quartiles, Dr. Jensen said, “the most common deficiencies are lack of a pediatric emergency care coordinator, pediatric-specific quality improvement plan, and pediatric disaster preparedness plan.” The researchers found that having a pediatric-specific quality improvement plan was independently associated with significantly lower odds of death.  Dr. Jensen stressed that the goal of pediatric readiness is not to transform every ED into a pediatric trauma center providing the full spectrum of emergency care for children. Rather, the goal is to help EDs optimize the initial care for pediatric trauma patients. Ways that EDs can improve their pediatric readiness are easy and usually inexpensive, he stated. “Access for kids to high-quality pediatric trauma care is an achievable goal and has a real impact on kids,” Dr. Jensen said. NPRP pediatric readiness scores are not publicly available. However, according to Dr. Jensen, almost every ACS-verified Level I pediatric trauma center in the study had pediatric readiness scores in the top quartile. ACS-verified trauma centers are searchable on the ACS website. Caroline Melhado, MD, a study coauthor and UCSF general surgery resident, presented this research at the conference. Other study coauthors: Katherine Remick, MD; Amy Miskovic, MS; Bhavin Patel, MPH; Hilary Hewes, MD; Avery B.

[ad_1] Newswise — The fossils were found 40 years ago in north-eastern France. An international team of palaeontologists from the Naturkunde-Museum Bielefeld in Germany, the Institute of Paleobiology of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw, Poland, the Natural History Museum in Luxembourg and The Museum of Evolution at Uppsala University in Sweden have now analysed them and identified them as a new pliosaur genus: Lorrainosaurus.Pliosaurs were a type of plesiosaur with short necks and massive skulls. They appeared over 200 million years ago, but remained minor components of marine ecosystems until suddenly developing into enormous apex predators. The new study shows that this adaptive shift followed feeding niche differentiation and the global decline of other predatory marine reptiles over 170 million years ago.Lorrainosaurus is the oldest large-bodied pliosaur represented by an associated skeleton. It had jaws over 1.3 m long with large conical teeth and a bulky ‘torpedo-shaped’ body propelled by four flipper-like limbs.“Lorrainosaurus was one of the first truly huge pliosaurs. It gave rise to a dynasty of marine reptile mega-predators that ruled the oceans for around 80 million years,” explains Sven Sachs, a researcher at the Naturkunde-Museum Bielefeld, who led the study.This giant reptile probably reached over 6 m from snout to tail, and lived during the early Middle Jurassic period. Intriguingly, very little is known about plesiosaurs from that time.“Our identification of Lorrainosaurus as one of the earliest mega-predatory pliosaurs demonstrates that these creatures emerged immediately after a landmark restructuring of marine predator ecosystems across the Early-to-Middle Jurassic boundary, some 175 to 171 million years ago. This event profoundly affected many marine reptile groups and brought mega-predatory pliosaurids to dominance over ‘fish-like’ ichthyosaurs, ancient marine crocodile relatives, and other large-bodied predatory plesiosaurs”, adds Daniel Madzia from the Institute of Paleobiology of the Polish Academy of Sciences, who co-led the study.Pliosaurs were some of the most successful marine predators of their time.“Famous examples, such as Pliosaurus and Kronosaurus – some of the world’s largest pliosaurs – were absolutely enormous with body-lengths exceeding 10 m. They were ecological equivalents of today’s Killer whales and would have eaten a range of prey including squid-like cephalopods, large fish and other marine reptiles. These have all been found as preserved gut contents”, said senior co-author Benjamin Kear, Curator of Vertebrate Palaeontology and Researcher in Palaeontology at The Museum of Evolution, Uppsala University.The recovered bones and teeth of Lorrainosaurus represent remnants of what was once a complete skeleton that decomposed and was dispersed across the ancient sea floor by currents and scavengers.“The remains were unearthed in 1983 from a road cutting near Metz in Lorraine, north-eastern France. Palaeontology enthusiasts from the Association minéralogique et paléontologique d’Hayange et des environs recognised the significance of their discovery and donated the fossils to the Natural History Museum in Luxembourg”, said co-author Ben Thuy, Curator at the Natural History Museum in Luxembourg.Other than a brief report published in 1994, the fossils of Lorrainosaurus remained obscure until this new study re-evaluated the finds. Lorrainosaurus indicates that the reign of gigantic mega-predatory pliosaurs must have commenced earlier than previously thought, and was locally responsive to major ecological changes affecting marine environments covering what is now western Europe during the early Middle Jurassic.“Lorrainosaurus is thus a critical addition to our knowledge of ancient marine reptiles from a time in the Age of Dinosaurs that has as yet been incompletely understood”, says Benjamin Kear. window.fbAsyncInit = function () FB.init( appId: '890013651056181', xfbml: true, version: 'v2.2' ); ; (function (d, s, id) var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = " fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); (document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk')); [ad_2]

[ad_1] Pakistan cricket team is gearing up for a crucial match against Afghanistan in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, which is set to take place in Chennai on Monday. Pakistan has faced two challenging losses in their recent matches, one against India and another against Australia. Therefore, securing a victory against Afghanistan is imperative to rejuvenate their prospects in the tournament. Unfortunately, Fakhar Zaman is sidelined due to a knee injury, which means Pakistan is likely to stick with their opening combination of Abdullah Shafique and Imam ul Haq. Both Imam and Abdullah will aim to continue their excellent batting form as openers. All eyes will be on the skipper Babar Azam, who is gearing up to show his skills and make a significant contribution in this crucial match. Mohammad Rizwan, the team's wicketkeeper-batsman, is expected to hold the fort at number four, showing his composed approach to the game Saud Shakeel and Iftikhar Ahmed will be eager to make a noteworthy impact in their respective areas of expertise and contribute to the team's victory. Usama Mir proved costly in his World Cup debut match against Australia as he gave away 82 runs in nine overs and could only pick one wicket. However, he is likely to get another opportunity to prove his mettle. Pakistan could bring back Shadab Khan in place of Mohammad Nawaz, who has been wicketless in last two games against Australia and India. The pace attack for Pakistan will consist of Haris Rauf, Shaheen Shah Afridi, and Hassan Ali. Pakistan's expected playing XI: Abdullah Shafique, Imam-Ul-Haq, Babar Azam (C), Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Saud Shakeel, Iftikhar Ahmed, Mohammad Nawaz/Shadab Khan, Usama Mir, Haris Rauf, Hasan Ali, Shaheen Afridi Pakistan squad for World Cup: Babar Azam (C), Shadab Khan (VC), Fakhar Zaman, Imam ul Haq, Abdullah Shafique, Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Agha Salman, Saud Shakeel, Iftikhar Ahmed, Mohammad Nawaz, Usama Mir, Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf, Hassan Ali, Mohammad Wasim Jr Share Now (function(d, s, id) var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src=" fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); (document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk')); [ad_2]

[ad_1] Синоптик Шувалов: снег окончательно ляжет в Москве в конце ноябряУстойчивый снежный покров появится в Москве и Подмосковье в конце ноября. Такой срок в разговоре с «Лентой.ру» назвал руководитель прогностического центра «Метео» Александр Шувалов. Он также спрогнозировал, что до этого момента осадки в столичном регионе смогут задерживаться на короткое время.«Окончательно ляжет снежный покров только в конце ноября. Но это не исключает того, что он может появиться на несколько дней. Скорее всего, это произойдет в конце этой недели. В пятницу ожидается подход очередного циклона с запада, осадки будут в основном из снега. К выходным может образоваться снежный покров толщиной не менее пяти сантиметров. Говорить о том, что он ляжет уже окончательно, было бы преждевременно, но довольно серьезный снег нас ожидает в конце недели», — сказал синоптик.22 октября в российской столице и близлежащих городах прошел снег. Температура колебалась от минус одного до плюс трех градусов Цельсия.Как рассказал научный руководитель Гидрометцентра России Роман Вильфанд, в европейской части России в октябре наступило предзимье. Это значит, что жителям стоит готовиться к неустойчивой погоде. «Частые периоды похолодания, потепления, много облачности и осадков из-за барических депрессий», — пояснил он. [ad_2]
