Putting health back in health care

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:26:32 GMT

Advances in medical science and technology are rapidly changing and as we saw with the pandemic, diagnostic tests play a pivotal role in health care decision making. They inform treatment decisions, save costs and, most importantly, deliver better outcomes for patients. Unfortunately, these life-changing innovations are all too often not available to many of the people who need them most. Currently, 47 percent of the global population and 81 percent of people in low and lower-middle income countries have little or no access to life-saving diagnostics.If you’re following the policy trend at large — or even if you’re not — this is where we inevitably turn to discussions of the role of Universal Health Coverage (UHC) in the pursuit of better access to screening and diagnosis. Population health is not only in the best interest of individual countries, but as evidenced by a global pandemic, it is important to global health as well. UHC — ensuring people can access the health care they ne...

Bruins left wing Brad Marchand suspected that the Florida Panthers would be a tough first-round opponent in the Stanley Cup playoffs.Marchand’s suspicions were confirmed in the third period on Wednesday night’s 6-3 loss to the Panthers in Game 2 of the series at the TD Garden. The Panthers tied the series at 1-1 and will host the Bruins in Game 3 on Friday night (7:30) at FLA Live Arena in Sunrise, Fla.“We knew it was going to be a hard series and definitely not one that we expected to walk through,” said Marchand. “They play well at home and we have our work cut for us and we have to make sure we bring our best.“It’s one game at a time. Well forget about this one now and regroup. But if we don’t bring our best game it is going to be a rough trip so we have to make sure we are ready for them.”Marchand had a rough night in the event summary despite scoring the Bruins’ first goal while short-handed that tied the game 1-1 at 12:13 of the second period.Marchand logged 19:43 first-...

Winderman’s view: Heat get cut down to size, come up small vs. Bucks

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:26:32 GMT

Observations and other notes of interest from Wednesday night’s 138-122 Miami Heat NBA playoff loss to the Milwaukee Bucks:– This is what happens when you feature a rotation of Lilliputians– Eventually you get cut down to size.– What was most humbling Wednesday night was the Heat got cut down to size with the Bucks playing without the length of their leading man.– Which does not bode well when Giannis Antetokounmpo makes his return.– If the Bucks even need him in this matchup.– There was a reason the Heat got Dewayne Dedmon in advance of their series with the Bucks in 2021.– A reason they worked so extensively with Omer Yurtseven during October’s training camp.– A reason Cody Zeller was added in February before the buyout deadline.– But if you don’t play that height, it doesn’t matter.– So the Bucks took it inside.– Which opened the outside game.– And then piled it on from there.– W...

No Giannis, no problem for Bucks in 138-122 thrashing of Heat that evens series 1-1

This is what happens when you are a No. 1 seed playing a No. 8 seed:You don’t need your superstar to win.So no Giannis Antetokounmpo for the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday night, no problem in their 138-122 victory over the Miami Heat at Fiserv Forum, the most points ever in a playoff game against the Heat.And with that, a 1–1 tie in the best-of-seven Eastern Conference opening-round series that now shifts to the Kaseya Center for the next two.In a dominant exhibition of their superior depth of talent, the Bucks pushed to a 32-point first-half lead and made it easy for Antetokounmpo to rest easier with his lower-back contusion.For the Heat, there were 25 points from Jimmy Butler and 18 from Bam Adebayo, with both sitting out the fourth quarter. But with starting shooting guard Tyler Herro sidelined with the broken hand sustained in Game 1, there simply was not enough competitive depth.The perspective at the outset said all that arguably needed to be said about pedigree, wi...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:26:32 GMT

The Red Sox haven’t gotten the Corey Kluber of yore and lore in 2023.Through his first three starts of the season, the 37-year-old righty allowed 10 earned runs on 13 hits, including four home runs, walked six batters, and struck out 13.His fourth start wasn’t an improvement. Over five innings, the veteran hurler allowed seven earned runs on six hits, walked two, struck out four, gave up two home runs, and hit two batters. He threw 103 pitches, 65 for strikes.“It’s tough,” Alex Cora said after the 10-4 loss to the Minnesota Twins. “It’s actually the walks all that stuff that come before the big swings, right? When we pitch ahead in the first inning, we do a good job. When we’re behind, we’re getting crushed.”Kluber issued a leadoff walk to Twins leadoff man Max Kepler and gave up a double to Byron Buxton before letting Edouard Julien take him yard. An immediate 3-0 hole for the home team. The starting rotation has an ERA over 11 ...

SAN DIEGO - Border crossings in the San Diego sector are on the rise, up by over 30% from last April with just over 100,000 illegal encounters made in the past six months. This comes as the end of the Title 42 approaches next month.
