The phrase is part of ‘harm reduction 101’, which has led to significant declines in overdose fatalities in the US Officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggested overdose-prevention funding recipients may no longer be allowed to promote the message to “never use alone”, according to details of a meeting held this month the Guardian obtained. The purpose of the meeting was to bring recipients of Overdose Data to Action (OD2A) CDC funding into compliance with Trump’s executive orders, according to a grant note the Guardian reviewed.

New York mayor was joined by Senator Bernie Sanders at a Tuesday rally with nurses as strike entered second week New York City may be experiencing some of its coldest weather of the winter, with sub-zero temperatures biting fingers and nipping cheeks, but that hasn’t prevented thousands of nurses from taking to the picket line for what is the largest nurses strike in the city’s history. Almost 15,000 nurses who work for three separate hospital systems have been on strike since 12 January, holding out for increased staffing, better safety in hospitals, and improved healthcare benefits. The New York State Nurses Association (NYSNA) has pointed to the giant pay packages that hospital CEOs have received, at a time when nurses say there are too few of them to adequately care for patients.

Families accuse health board of ‘deceit and cowardice’ after years-long battle to prove contaminated water was linked All Molly Cuddihy wanted was recognition of what she had gone through. That was what she told the Scottish hospitals inquiry in 2021, where she described the “frightening” fits and rigors she had suffered after contracting a bacterial infection at Glasgow’s Queen Elizabeth university hospital while undergoing chemotherapy. “I was made sicker by the environment,” the 19-year-old said in her evidence. Molly had been 15 and revising for her National 5 exams when she was diagnosed with a rare bone cancer. She was treated at the Royal hospital for children and the adjacent QEUH, which are both part of a six-year public inquiry that reached its final stages and heard devastating new admissions this week.

Fetal tissue has been used to advance research into diabetes, Alzheimer’s, infertility and vaccines The National Institutes of Health (NIH) will no longer fund research that uses human fetal tissue obtained from “elective” abortions, the world’s biggest public funder of biomedical research announced on Thursday. The ban marks the latest, and most dramatic, effort by Donald Trump’s administration to end research that uses fetal tissue from abortions – a goal that anti-abortion advocates, who oppose the research, have sought for years. In 2019, during Trump’s first term in office, the NIH stopped funding internal research that involved the tissue and implemented a review committee to evaluate research proposals from scientists outside the government. Joe Biden ended that policy in 2021. Continue reading...

Researcher points to ‘medicalisation of masculinity’ after investigating how men’s health is being monetised online “If you’re not waking up in the morning with a boner, there’s a large possibility that you have low testosterone levels,” an influencer on TikTok with more than 100,000 followers warns his viewers. Despite screening for low testosterone being medically unwarranted in most young men, this group is being aggressively targeted online by influencers and wellness companies promoting hormone tests and treatments as essential to being a “real man”, a study published in the journal Social Science and Medicine has found.

Pollution from wood burners kills thousands but proposed emissions limit would cut toxic particles by 9% New wood-burning stoves will carry a health warning highlighting the impact of the air pollution they produce, under UK government plans.
