Tuesday the official n. 2 of the National Institutes of Health has resigned and retired from the government service Tuesday, in another sign that the Trump administration is remodeling the public and biomedical research institutions of the nation.The official, dr. Lawrence A. Tabak, dentist and researcher, was long considered a constant force and had resisted the presidential transitions. In a letter that Dr. Tabak sent to colleagues Tuesday, he gave no reason for his decision. A person who is familiar with the decision said that Dr. Tabak had confronted a reassignment that he considered unacceptable."It was a huge privilege to work with each of you (and your predecessors) to support and promote the Nih critical mission," wrote Dr. Tabak.Dr. Tabak resigned in a turbulent time for instituti...

Finding in the fickle hair of President Trump, Jordan and Egypt are moving with speed - and the uncertain perspectives of success - to dissuade, distract him and distract him from the forcing them to take the Palestinians from the Gaza Strip.For the two Arab governments, which consider Trump's proposal that assume two million Palestinians as an existential threat, the strategy seems to be to appease the President of the United States with offers to work together to reconstruct Gaza, bring peace to the region and expand humanitarian aid efforts. This could help them buy time, analysts say - perhaps enough for Mr. Trump to discard the too complicated idea or to recognize the strategic and safety disadvantages of the destabilization of two of the closest allies in the United States in the reg...

Just over a year ago, a group of researchers from the Sheffield Hallam University in England has published a relationship that documented the potential links of a Chinese clothing company with forced work. The members of the British Parliament mentioned the relationship in view of a November debate that criticized China for "slavery and forced the work from another era".But Smart Shirts, who is a manufacturer's associate and creates clothing for the main labels, has filed a cause for defamation. And in December, a British judge issued a sentence: the case would have gone on, which could lead to the payment of the university.The preliminary discovery in the case against the University is the last of a series of legal challenges that have enhanced Think Tanks and universities that seek human...

A federal judge on Monday temporarily blocked the National Institutes of Health from the cutting of funding for research in 22 states that presented cause at the beginning of the day claiming that the plan would empty studies on cancer treatments, Alzheimer's, diseases cardiac and a series of other disorders.The financing cuts, announced at the end of Friday, would have had a effect on Monday. But the general lawyers of Massachusetts and another 21 states have sued. They argued that the Trump administration plan to cut $ 4 billion in general -not cost such as "indirect costs"-has violated a 79-year law that governs the way in which administrative agencies establish and amminist the regulations."Without relief from the action of Nih, the avant -garde work of these institutions to treat and ...

February is a slow period on the Greek island of Santorini, which attracts more than three million visitors every year.But after another week of almost constant earthquakes, the island took on an unusual tranquility. At least 13,000 of the 15,500 residents of the island, nervous by the frequent trembling, started last week. The roads are mostly deserted, with the exception of occasional tourists, many of which from Asia.Thousands of tremors, sometimes every few minutes, shook Santorini, about 150 miles south-east of Athens, and the islands near January 25. The shock initially reached the peak of an earthquake of magnitude 5.2 on Wednesday north-east of Santorini. On Sunday evening an earthquake of magnitude 5 was warned in Athens, and then a quike of 5.3 hit the same area on Monday at the ...

Michael Gibson, cardiologist at the Harvard Medical School, goes to cardiac disease meetings, cannot help but notice a change."We will sit for dinner and half the meal, we will remove our dishes simultaneously," said dr. Gibson. "We look at each other and laugh and say:" You too? ""They share what is becoming an open secret: they have been looking for their weight for years, but now they are taking the new obesity drugs manufactured by Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk.Dr. Robert Califf, former head of the food and drug administration, claims not to recognize his colleagues hardly. So many now are so thin."It seems good," he says he tells his cardiologists during conferences and meetings.There are no studies that document the percentage of doctors who take drugs. But the doctors "are ...

Doron Steinbrcher promised that he would never wear the squad again when he made his first public comments in a video after being freed for more than 15 months in captivity of Hamas in Gaza.A year ago, he had appeared in a hostage video made by his kidnappers who wore a pale pink sweatshirt. When the Palestinian militant group Hamas published his last month, he was dressed in a brilliant Magenta track dress and seemed pale.Sitting in front of a camera again brought her back to the difficult moments in which her kidnappers filmed her in Gaza, said Mrs. Steinbricher, 31 years old, in the video, sometimes composed and smiling."This time, I am comfortably sitting on a sofa with my family looking at me in a warm and pleasant place," he said.
