(MA) Get ready to meet three little balls of fluff who are ready to fill your heart, and life, with love. Brynn, Bambi, and Bubbles Bath are 6-week-old Great Pyrenees mix sisters who were found as strays living under a porch. Sadly, their mother, also a stray, did not allow herself to be caught and brought into rescue alongside her babies. Despite that, the three puppies are healthy and happy in their new foster home. They have a bright future ahead of them, assuming YOU adopt them! Or, maybe you don't want pure joy, cuteness, and fluff-love in your life.

A series of experiments with highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza (HPAI H5N1) viruses circulating in infected U.S. dairy cattle found that viruses derived from lactating dairy cattle induced severe disease in mice and ferrets when administered via intranasal inoculation. The virus from the H5N1-infected cows bound to both avian (bird) and human-type cellular receptors, but, importantly, did not transmit efficiently among ferrets exposed via respiratory droplets.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.

Older Women Are Different Than Older Men. Their Health Is Woefully Understudied.

This month is Black Family Month, which was first nationally recognized in 2006 to encourage the enrichment of families through education, health, and self-improvement. This observance also encourages families to inspire one another and encourage conversations about health history - especially inherited conditions. This includes diseases like autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, or ADPKD. Fostering awareness and encouraging early detection within families can work towards bridging the health disparities gap and empower generations with the knowledge and resources needed to combat this hereditary disease.

A new study led by researchers at the American Cancer Society (ACS) finds four in 10 cancer cases and about one half of all cancer deaths in adults 30 years old and older in the United States (or 713,340 cancer cases and 262,120 cancer deaths in 2019) could be attributed to modifiable risk factors, including cigarette smoking, excess body weight, alcohol consumption, physical inactivity, diet, and infections. Cigarette smoking was by far the leading risk factor, contributing to nearly 20% of all cancer cases and 30% of all cancer deaths.

A new study led by American Cancer Society (ACS) researchers shows less than one-in-five eligible individuals in the United States were up-to-date (UTD) with recommended lung cancer screening (LCS). The screening uptake was much lower in persons without health insurance or usual source of care and in Southern states with the highest lung cancer burden. The findings are published June 10 in JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association) Internal Medicine.
