Hey everyone,

I’ve got some really interesting news to share with you today. First off, experts have been weighing in on the risks of a gunshot wound like the one former President Donald Trump sustained. It’s important to rule out any brain or neck injury in cases like this, so it’s definitely something to keep an eye on. On another note, vaping has become increasingly popular, with 1 in 10 adults in England reporting that they’ve been vaping for more than six months. Additionally, a new study has found that bad sleep, with varying amounts day-to-day, is linked to a higher risk of type 2 diabetes.

In terms of reproductive health, Massachusetts has been ranked as the best-performing state overall, with Vermont, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and New Hampshire following closely behind. And in cancer news, a new study suggests that bone marrow donors may not need to be a perfect match after all, which could substantially reduce racial health disparities in blood cancers.

Moving on, a study has found that vaccination lowers the risk of developing long Covid, and may also lower the risk of serious complications from the virus. And finally, there’s an interesting partnership between GoodRx and a drugmaker that’s making a Humira knockoff available for a discounted cash price, which could be a game-changer for many patients.

There’s a lot of exciting and important news happening in the healthcare world, and it’s great to see advancements and progress being made. I’m looking forward to seeing what else is in store for the future of healthcare.

Take care,

Summy

Stay Well!
