I'm 25 years old and my parents still pay my bills and rent, which is a big help as I'm in grad school. My parents cover my bills because I'm still in schoolI graduated from Chapman University with a bachelor of arts in psychology in 2023. AdvertisementMy parents still pay most of my bills because I'm a student. One of the main reasons I had to move out of my parent's house was that I didn't want to commute from Los Angeles to Orange County daily during undergrad. I also can't wait to be able to help my parents retire early because they've worked so hard and long.

KQED/KFF Health News —A much-awaited treatment for postpartum depression, zuranolone, hit the market in December, promising an accessible and fast-acting medication for a debilitating illness. Miriam McDonald, who developed severe postpartum depression and suicidal ideation after giving birth in late 2019, battled Kaiser Permanente for more than a year to find effective treatment. Her doctors refused to prescribe brexanolone, the only FDA-approved medication specifically for postpartum depression at the time. Insurers’ policies for zuranolone will be written at a time when the regulatory environment around mental health treatment is shifting. In the meantime, Burkhard said, patients suffering from postpartum depression should not hold back from asking their doctors about zuranolone.

CNN —A court ruling that found a school janitor not guilty of groping a student because the act only lasted less than 10 seconds has sparked outrage in Italy. “Love, you know I was joking,” the janitor said, according to the teenager’s testimony mentioned in the judgment. The decision caused outrage among students and sparked a viral trend on social media. A local union representing high school students, ‘Rete degli Studenti Medi del Lazio,’ said on Facebook that “this is not a joke, there is nothing funny about it.”“It is unacceptable that we cannot feel protected at school. Accompanying the media are the hashtags #10secondi and #palpatabreve (brief groping).

☆ A Texas judge tried to school the FDA on the abortion pill. Only problem? He used debunked research and a study based on an anonymous blog to do it.

A Texas judge on Friday issued a ruling overturning FDA approval of an abortion medication. The 67-page document, written by right-wing Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk, cited Wikipedia and is full of inaccuracies and falsehoods about the health effects of medical abortion, experts told Insider on Friday. Julia Steinberg, an expert on mental health and abortion, told Reuters in 2012 that most women in the study who experienced mental health issues after having an abortion had also experienced them before the abortion. The study also did not note whether or not the abortions had been done for health reasons or were elective abortions. So he is really outside of his lane making, in essence, a medical judgment that was informed by really, really bad information."

Cercetătorii au reușit pentru prima dată să colecteze ADN doar din mostre de aer, potrivit unui nou studiu, informează de Live Science, citează hotnews.ro. Pentru a-și testa ipoteza, Clare și colegii ei au încercat să colecteze ADN din aer dintr-o unitate de găzduire a animalelor folosind un organism model, șobolanul-cârtiță golaș. Cercetătorii au depistat atât ADN uman cât și provenit de la animal în aerul colectat din țarcurile șobolanilor-cârtiță precum și din încăperea în care acestea sunt ținute. Acesta a subliniat că analizarea eADN-ului colectat pentru a studia și gestiona populațiile de animale și plante a cunoscut o creștere vertiginoasă în ultimul deceniu. Clare și colegii ei lucrează acum la studierea distanței pe care eADN-ul o poate străbate în aer și modul în care dimensiunea spațiilor în care acesta este detectat afectează cantitatea care poate fi colectată.
