The recently ended legislative mandate has underscored the importance of health in EU policymaking, even though national governments still retain primary competence over the sector. The EU's Beating Cancer Plan was a top priority for the EU executive before COVID-19 elevated health on the Commission’s agenda, resulting in the bloc’s first budget line dedicated to health. Sources in the largest Parliament’s group, the centre-right European People’s Party (EPP), suggested that MEPs might look to establish a standalone health committee with legislative powers, which could further amplify the focu...

Last January, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit held that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had acted "arbitrarily and capriciously," in violation of the Administrative Procedure Act, when it refused to allow the marketing of flavored nicotine e-liquids made by two companies. On Tuesday, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to review that decision. The case highlights the maddeningly unfair process by which the FDA enforced its judgment that vaping products in flavors other than tobacco and menthol are ipso facto intolerable, even though former smokers prefer those options. "Over sev...

Taxing broad-spectrum antibiotics that contribute most to drug resistance could reduce prescriptions in favour of other medicines, UK-based researchers say. The main contributor to antimicrobial resistance (AMR), which is when bacteria no longer respond to medicine, is overuse and misuse of antibiotics. Antibiotics are categorised as narrow-spectrum (i.e. targeting specific bacteria) or broad-spectrum (those used more broadly). While narrow-spectrum drugs can help slow AMR, they require knowledge of the bacteria causing an infection, whereas broad-spectrum antibiotics don’t. Researchers looked...

Shhhooo. Wee-uuu. Chick, chick, chick. Ese es el sonido de tres especies diferentes de cigarras. Para algunos, esos sonidos son la canción del verano. Otros desearían que los insectos bajaran el volumen. La cacofonía puede ser especialmente irritante para las personas en el espectro autista que tienen sensibilidad auditiva. Warren Rickly, de 14 años, vive en los suburbios del sur del condado de St. Louis, en Missouri. Warren, que tiene autismo, estaba en la parada del autobús recientemente esperando a su hermano menor cuando el sonido de las cigarras se volvió insoportable. “Dijo que suena com...

The U.S. Supreme Court’s watershed decision on homelessness Friday will make it easier for elected officials and law enforcement authorities nationwide to fine and arrest people who live on streets and sidewalks, in broken-down vehicles, or within city parks — which could have far-reaching health consequences for homeless Americans and their communities. In a 6-to-3 ruling in City of Grants Pass v. Johnson, the justices in the majority said allowing the targeting of homeless people occupying public spaces by enforcing bans on public sleeping or camping with criminal or civil penalties is not c...

Esas fueron las reacciones de algunas de las 20 víctimas de disparos del desfile del Super Bowl de los Kansas City Chiefs que el jueves 27 de junio recibieron $1.2 millones del fondo #KCStrong, con pagos individuales que van desde $22,000 hasta $100,000. Chris Rosson, presidente y CEO de United Way of Greater Kansas City, dijo que los pagos ayudarán a estos sobrevivientes, reconociendo al mismo tiempo que la violencia con armas de fuego, como el tiroteo del 14 de febrero, ocurre todos los días en Kansas City, en general en comunidades de bajos ingresos que ya están desprovistas de recursos. “A...

The European Commission’s powerful health department, DG SANTE, is expected to lose major powers over food safety, according to a draft seen by Euronews. With a fresh Commission term set to start in November, the EU executive is looking at how to distribute policy priorities across its many constituent directorates-general. If the draft seen by Euronews is confirmed, DG SANTE will hand over its powers on pesticide approval, animal welfare, animal and plant health, plant varieties, and new genomic techniques to the Commission's farming department, DG AGRI. SANTE would lose other food safety iss...

Sheila Vakharia, who now works for the Drug Policy Alliance, began her career as a clinical social worker at a conventional addiction treatment center, where she soon became disenchanted. "Few of my clients attended treatment voluntarily, most did not think they had a drug problem, and most never completed the program," she recalls in her new book The Harm Reduction Gap, "because they could not maintain abstinence and comply with our tight structure," which included regular urine testing that she was required to supervise, much to her dismay. Vakharia's next job, at a program that provided ste...

Surprised. Blessed. Overwhelmed. Already gone. Those were reactions from some of the 20 gunshot victims from the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl parade shootings who were awarded $1.2 million from the #KCStrong fund on Thursday, with individuals receiving payments ranging from $22,000 to $100,000. Chris Rosson, president and CEO of the United Way of Greater Kansas City, said the payouts will help these survivors even while recognizing that gun violence like the Feb. 14 shootings happens in Kansas City every day, typically in low-income communities that are already under-resourced. “When launchin...
