Washington (AFP) - A panel of US health experts convened by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are meeting Tuesday to weigh the benefits and risks of using MDMA, commonly known as ecstasy, to treat post-traumatic stress disorder. PTSD, a debilitating mental health condition that develops after a person experiences or is threatened by traumatic events such as death, combat, or sexual assault, affects an estimated five percent of Americans in any given year. But treatment options are so far limited to two antidepressants that require three months of dosing to take effect, and response rates...

Washington (AFP) - Former US government scientist Anthony Fauci angrily denied covering up the origins of Covid-19 Monday in his first public congressional testimony since retiring as the face of the fight against the pandemic. Fauci became the nation's most trusted expert in the chaotic early days of the 2020 outbreak, but his clashes with former president Donald Trump over the response sparked fury on the right, and he now lives with security protection following death threats against his family. Republicans accuse the 83-year-old immunologist of helping to set off the worst pandemic in a ce...

Lodi (United States) (AFP) - It may look like an innocent green plant, but its name evokes something far closer to a robot or interstellar rocket. Neo Px is a bioengineered plant capable of purifying indoor air at an unprecedented scale, the first in a potentially long line of such super-powered organisms. "It's the equivalent of up to 30 regular houseplants in terms of air purification," said Lionel Mora, co-founder of startup Neoplants. "It will not only capture, but also remove and recycle, some of the most harmful pollutants you can find indoors." Five years ago, the entrepreneur met Patr...

Houston (AFP) - The Texas Supreme Court unanimously rejected on Friday a challenge to the state's strict abortion laws brought by women who had serious pregnancy complications but were denied abortions. The case was filed last year on behalf of two dozen women who were denied abortions even though they had in some cases life-threatening medical issues with their pregnancies. The suit was the first in the nation brought on behalf of women denied abortions since the US Supreme Court overturned the constitutional right to the procedure in June 2022. The Center for Reproductive Rights argued in th...

Washington (AFP) - A Pfizer medicine has been shown to greatly reduce cancer progression and improve survival outcomes for people in the advanced stages of a form of lung cancer, results published Friday showed. Lorlatinib, which is already approved and available under the brand name Lobrena in the United States, was tested in a clinical trial of hundreds of people with anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-positive advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Roughly half received lorlatinib while the rest received crizotinib, an earlier generation drug. After five years of follow-up time, more th...

Washington (AFP) - US officials on Thursday reported the country's third human case of bird flu linked to the current outbreak of the virus in dairy cattle. The Michigan farm worker is the second person sickened by the disease in the Midwestern state, following a first case in Texas in April. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said in a statement all three cases were spread from cows to humans, as opposed to human-to-human, which would be more concerning. But it added it was the first case "to report more typical symptoms of acute respiratory illness associated with influenza...

A potentially deadly virus that can cause cases of "vole fever," symptoms of which include Ebola-like bleeding, has reportedly been detected in northern Europe. Knewz.com has learned that the virus can jump from animals to humans, and has already infected two patients in Sweden. While the illness is commonly referred to as "vole fever," it is actually a more severe form of the hantavirus infection known as Nephropathia Epidemica. A hantavirus can typically be rodents such as mice, rats, and of course, bank voles, and can spread to humans if they come in contact with an infected rodent, or if t...
