☆ Doctor's transplanted a genetically-engineered pig heart into a human, again, and now the saved patient has reached a major milestone

The pig heart transplant patient lived to celebrate the one-month anniversary of his surgery. The first pig heart transplant patient died two months after surgery due to heart failure. The first pig heart transplant patient, David Bennett, died two months after surgery. In Friday's hospital video, Faucette's doctors said the pig heart has shown no sign of rejection. Tom Jemski/University of Maryland School of Medicine via APMany scientists hope xenotransplants one day could compensate for the huge shortage of human organ donations.

Powdered drink mixes that are widely promoted as “toddler milks” for older babies and children up to age 3 are unregulated, unnecessary and “nutritionally incomplete,” the American Academy of Pediatrics warned Friday. Also, toddler drinks are different than medical formulas prescribed for specific conditions, such as heart disease or problems digesting certain foods. Fuchs and other experts point to the lack of common standards for toddler milks, which means the ingredients vary widely among brands. The group also wants requirements to ensure the products are not linked to regulated infant formula or sold next to formula. A health group petitioned the FDA in 2020 to regulate toddler milks, but the agency is still reviewing the request.

Lawrence Faucette was dying from heart failure and ineligible for a traditional heart transplant when doctors at the University of Maryland School of Medicine offered the highly experimental surgery. In the first glimpse of Faucette provided since the Sept. 20 transplant, hospital video shows physical therapist Chris Wells urging him to push through a pedaling exercise to regain his strength. The Maryland team last year performed the world’s first transplant of a heart from a genetically altered pig into another dying man. David Bennett survived just two months before that heart failed, for reasons that aren’t completely clear although signs of a pig virus later were found inside the organ. In Friday’s hospital video, Faucette’s doctors said the pig heart has shown no sign of rejection.

Patrick McHenry and Jim Jordan consulted on speaker talks in the House Wednesday. Photo: Tom Williams/Zuma PressWASHINGTON—GOP speaker designee Jim Jordan is throwing his support behind a plan to put caretaker speaker Patrick McHenry in charge of the House until January, according to a person familiar with the matter, a plan that could reopen the House after a two-week impasse. Rank-and-file GOP lawmakers had started to lose patience with the Ohio Republican’s efforts to continue his campaign after losses on two consecutive ballots. There will be no third vote Thursday, but Jordan plans to stay in the race. The plan would give him several months to build support for his bid while allowing the House to move forward with key votes expected on Israel and Ukraine aid and keeping the government funded.

Jim Jordan postponed to Friday morning a third floor vote after a plan to temporarily put caretaker speaker Rep. Patrick McHenry in charge of the House ran into sharp objections from conservatives. Jordan’s push to have a third vote on his candidacy Thursday fell apart as the Ohio conservative met continued resistance from his opponents during a meeting in a House office. As some trickled out, there was no sign he had managed to change their minds.

Jim Jordan said he would embark on a third floor vote after a plan to temporarily put caretaker speaker Rep. Patrick McHenry in charge of the House ran into sharp objections from conservatives. “I am still running for speaker and I plan to go to the floor and get the votes and win this race,” Jordan said after leaving a heated closed-door meeting of House Republicans. He said that he first wanted to talk to the GOP lawmakers who voted against him, and that a pitch to elect a temporary speaker didn’t have the support of the conference.

☆ Fact Check: No Gates-sponsored mRNA ‘air vaccine’ approved for use in people

The technique has not been approved for any use or testing in humans, according to the study’s senior author. However, a headline that reads, “Bill Gates mRNA 'Air Vaccine' Approved for Use Against Non-Consenting Humans” is circulating in the form of a screenshot on Facebook and messaging platform X, formerly known as Twitter. The formulation developed by the Yale team has neither been approved for human trial nor is it awaiting approval, Saltzman added. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation website, which documents Gates’ vaccine development work and investments, makes no mention of the Yale research. A nasal mRNA vaccine tested in mice by Yale researchers has not been approved for human testing, was not funded by Bill Gates and is not designed to work through the “air.”This article was produced by the Reuters Fact Check team.

☆ How Miuccia Prada Reinvented Fashion

In 1993, her days of on-the-ground protest behind her — she’d long stopped handing out flyers at rallies — Prada and Bertelli created Milano Prada Arte, which later became the Fondazione Prada. Styled by Suzanne Koller FOR THE PAST few years, Miuccia Prada hasn’t had to do quite as much all by herself. © TriStar/Everett Collection Bening and Warren Beatty in “Bugsy.” Everett Collection Bening in “American Beauty” (1999).

But the recent shift toward e-cigarettes that can’t be refilled has created a new environmental dilemma. U.S. teens and adults are buying roughly 12 million disposable vapes per month. But the quantities used in vaping devices are too small to warrant salvage. Disposable e-cigarettes currently account for about 53% of the multi-billion U.S. vaping market, according to U.S. government figures, more than doubling since 2020. The company has incinerated more than 1.6 million pounds of vaping waste in recent years, mostly unsold inventory or discontinued products.

The House of Representatives failed to elect Rep. Jim Jordan as speaker on Tuesday after 20 Republicans voted against him. Photo: Jonathan Ernst/ReutersWASHINGTON—Rep. Jim Jordan (R., Ohio) appeared likely to again fall short of the votes needed to be elected House speaker in a second ballot Wednesday, prompting lawmakers to more seriously consider other avenues for breaking the impasse that has paralyzed the chamber. More than two weeks after former House speaker Kevin McCarthy (R., Calif.) was ousted, Republicans remained gripped in a fierce internal struggle over who to elect to lead them. Jordan, a favorite of the party’s populist wing but viewed skeptically by centrist and GOP establishment lawmakers, lost 20 Republican votes in the first ballot Tuesday afternoon, exceeding the handful of defections he can afford in the narrowly divided House with all Democrats opposed.

Jim Jordan failed again to win enough votes to be elected House speaker, as divisions hardened for House Republicans, with some lawmakers pursuing new paths to break the impasse that has paralyzed the chamber. More than two weeks after former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R., Calif.) was ousted, Republicans remained gripped in a fierce internal struggle over his successor. Jordan said he would keep up his campaign, but pushed off any further voting until Thursday at the earliest as mounting GOP defections on his second ballot left Republicans snarled into warring factions over what should happen next.

Rolling back Trump-era sanctions, U.S. officials issued general licenses for Venezuela's oil, gas and mining sectors in response to a deal between Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and the county's opposition on the 2024 presidential election. SLOW RECOVERYThe sanctions relief authorizes the production, sale and export of Venezuela's crude and gas, while keeping a ban on business with Russia. Since the U.S. imposed secondary oil sanctions on Venezuela in 2020, PDVSA had been unable to fulfill its supply contracts to clients in regions from Europe to Asia. An individual authorization to Chevron Corp (CVX.N) allowed the return of Venezuela's crude to the United States this year. Area chart shows data from U.S. EIA showing Venezuela crude oil production.

Scientists are setting out to collect genetic material from 500,000 people of African ancestry to create what they believe will be the world’s largest database of genomic information from the population. The initiative was launched Wednesday by Meharry Medical College in Nashville, Tennessee, as well as Regeneron Genetics Center, AstraZeneca, Novo Nordisk and Roche. Organizers said there’s a clear need for the project, pointing to research showing that less than 2% of genetic information being studied today comes from people of African ancestry. Each of the pharmaceutical companies involved intends to contribute $20 million toward the genetic and educational parts of the effort. ___The Associated Press Health and Science Department receives support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Science and Educational Media Group.

The cost of health coverage through work jumped this year, in part because of inflation, according to a survey of U.S. employers. Later this fall, companies begin their annual coverage enrollment window for 2024, and health care experts say another price hike could be coming. The wider economy has felt those two pressures for more than a year, and now they are starting to affect health care costs, said Gary Claxton, a senior vice president with KFF. Fronstin said health care provider consolidation also can drive up care costs, which ultimately affects premiums. He also thinks the U.S. health care system — with its limited capacity to treat people — is still catching up on providing care that was delayed during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The script was still pliable, and both of them were grasping to achieve the fullness of their characters. Danny was memorizing his lines, looking up toward the heavens every time he drew a blank. His riffs bejeweled every line: When the script called on him to invite his daughter in for breakfast, he instead laid out a menu. While running those lines, Lucy pulled over to ask for directions from von Stuelpnagel: Where is her character, emotionally, right now? She’s really, really in there — she’s in there, digging, and that’s part of the whole idea,” Danny said a few weeks later during a break from rehearsals.

Political Cartoons View All 1211 Images“Until we get more Black women into clinical trials, we can’t change the science. Black women are 40% more likely to die from breast cancer than white women and tend to be diagnosed younger. As recruiting continues, enrolling Black women and other women of color will “absolutely” continue as a priority, Pisano said. At the U.S. study sites, 21% of study participants are Black women — that's higher than a typical cancer treatment study, in which 9% of participants are Black, McCaskill-Stevens said. Her sister recently completed treatment for triple negative breast cancer, an aggressive type that affects Black women at higher rates than white women.

“They tend to close in these neighborhoods regardless of whether or not there is another pharmacy nearby,” Qato said. Closings can create so-called “pharmacy deserts,” or neighborhoods without easy access to a drugstore. “It’ll kind of worsen the problem of pharmacy deserts and disparities in pharmacy access,” Qato said. She noted that patients who lose drugstore access are less likely to stay on their regular prescriptions, and that can affect their health. Jonas said drugstores do want to help with pharmacy access, but the economics still need to work for these companies.

LONDON (AP) — Health ministers in the Western Pacific nominated a surgeon from Tonga, Dr. Saia Ma'u Piukala, to lead the World Health Organization's regional office at a meeting in Manila on Tuesday. Piukala's nomination for WHO's top job in the Western Pacific comes months after the U.N. health agency fired its previous director, Dr. Takeshi Kasai, following allegations of racism and misconduct first reported by The Associated Press last year. Piukala was most recently Tonga's minister of health and defeated rival candidates from China, the Philippines, the Solomon Islands and Vietnam. Days after the AP report, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus announced that an internal investigation into Kasai had begun. ___The Associated Press health and science department receives support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Science and Educational Media Group.

NEW YORK (AP) — A lack of clean water in the Gaza Strip is raising major concerns for human health. The United Nations recognizes access to water as a human right, and on a basic level, the human body needs a constant supply of water to survive. Water access is also crucial for sanitation, and a lack of clean water can lead to the spread of infections like cholera and dysentery. Health care settings are a particular concern as they rely on clean water to care for patients who are sick and injured. ___The Associated Press Health and Science Department receives support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Science and Educational Media Group.
