New infant RSV vaccine in short supply as respiratory illness season picks up The ACS previously recommended yearly screening for people aged 55-74 who smoked the equivalent of a pack a day for 30 years. The new recommendation is for people aged 50 to 80 who smoke the equivalent of a pack a day for 20 years."What this really allows us to do is to catch younger patients, and even patients who haven't smoked as much, and we can potentially catch more lung cancers earlier," said Dr. Andy Labelle, a pulmonary critical care physician. Labelle said many people with lung cancer don't have symptoms until the cancer has progressed to a late stage, so screening is important."If we can catch their cancer at a stage one, it is very a cur...

Red Sox (offseason) notebook: Betts bets on Bauer

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:43:24 GMT

Mookie Betts announced himself as an unexpected advocate for former Dodgers teammate, Trevor Bauer, to get another chance in Major League Baseball.“My experience with Bauer is not anything remotely close to what everyone else’s experience is. I love him, I think he’s an awesome guy. The personal things? I have no control,” the former Red Sox star told the LA Times while at the World Series filming content for the league. “He’s an awesome pitcher. He’s a great guy.”Betts and Bauer were teammates on the Dodgers in 2021, after Bauer signed a three-year, $102 million contract. That June, a San Diego woman sought an order of protection against Bauer, and alleged that he’d committed sexual battery against her on two occasions. MLB placed him on administrative leave – and extended said leave nine times – as they investigated.In April 2022, the league handed down an unprecedented 324-game suspension, more than twice the length of the previous record, under their Joint Domestic Violenc...

Callahan: Could Bill Belichick coach the Washington Commanders next season?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:43:24 GMT

Sure, it’s hard to picture.Bill Belichick pacing another sideline in another team’s colors, sneering and snorting at another team’s press conferences after 24 years in New England.Then again, so was a 2-6 start to this season.And a sub.-500 record for Belichick over a three-and-a half-year span.And a Belichick-coached team ever sitting last in the AFC, having committed the second-most penalties in the league with the NFL’s third-worst turnover margin.Yet, here we are.The Patriots are a bad football team. Their roster is starved for blue-chip talent and a quarterback of the future. Belichick hand-picked every person in his locker room, front office and coaching ranks. He is responsible for everything.If the Pats continue charging toward a 4-13 or 5-12 finish, it only reasons the door could swing open for Belichick to leave this January. Few NFL coaches or GMs survive a four-year run with a 45% winning percentage, let alone when that person is one and the same....
