When Dr. Shoo Lee, one of the most famous neonatologists in Canada, wrote an academic document in 1989, would never have imagined that one day he would help to condemn a British murder nurse.But more than three decades after the publication of his document, this is what happened.Lucy Letby, a former nurse in a neonatal unit in northern England, was judged guilty in two processes in 2023 and 2024 of the murder or attempted the murder of 14 children in her care and sentenced to life imprisonment, where she remains today.The case shook Great Britain, seeming to exhibit a timeless serial killer who, said the ministries, used a bizarre range of techniques to kill its tiny, often premature, victims: by injecting them with air, enduring them with milk or contaminating their feed with insulin.For ...

Dr. Joe Whittington, 47, was an emergency room doctor for two decades, but he still manages to find it difficult to calm his mind after leaving the hospital.While trying to do it by naping after a particularly chaotic turn, he continued to think of a victim of a motorcycle accident whose vital signs had returned, a patient who developed sepsis and another whose heart had suddenly stopped beating.His tendency to reproduce the events of the night - and his irregular working hours - often made him difficult to fall asleep. Over the years, he has tried to breathe deep, meditation and melatonin, before finally stumbled on a technique called cognitive mixing.The sleep strategy helps "force my mind to get out of that cycle and in a state in which I can finally rest," said dr. Whittington, who sha...

Friedman, who refused to specify his age, attributes many of his passions and habits to an unusual education. He described his childhood as Selvaggia and said he informed many of his artistic and career choices. She was one of the four children born from a violinist father who left the family in the period in which she was born and a pianist mother who described as a negligent. The brothers, often left to do alone, created their theater company, who called the show Sonia Friedman. (He was the youngest.)"My life has been, since the first memory, telling stories," he said. "This is how we survived."The school was a struggle and at some point Friedman was expelled absurdly. At 13, he had left the house for a free boarding school and free wheel, and for 16 years he worked full time; With the h...

The Israelis were gathering on Wednesday outside the Parliament building in Jerusalem to protest against the moves of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who, according to them to undermine the country's democracy and to ask for a renewed agreement for the fire for Gaza to bring the remaining hostages there.The convergence of popular anger for national and national security issues comes after Israel has carried out mortal air attacks through the Gaza strip early on Tuesday, ending an end to a temporary respite with Hamas that started in January.The broad sense of national solidarity that had surrounded the war in Gaza, started on October 7, 2023, from the attack led by Hamas to Southern Israel, now it seems to be frayed.There are growing accusations in Israel according to which Netanyahu's p...

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the highest health official of the nation, has a non -orthodox idea to deal with US poultry farms for avian influenza. Let the virus tear.Instead of breaking down birds when the infection is discovered, farmers "should perhaps consider the possibility of letting it run through the flock so that they can identify the birds and preserve birds, which are immune to it," said Kennedy recently on Fox News.He repeated the idea in other interviews on the channel.Kennedy has no jurisdiction on farms. But Brooke Rollins, the secretary of agriculture, also expressed support for the idea."There are some farmers who are out there who are willing to really try this on a pilot while we build the safe perimeter around them to see if there is a way to follow with immunity," said Mrs....

President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia agreed for the first time Tuesday with a ceased fire that would have stopped the strikes on energy infrastructures, provided that Ukraine does the same, said the Kremlin in a note.But in a two and a half hours phone call with President Trump, the Russian leader has refused for now to agree on a broader stop of 30 days in the fight that US officials and Ukrainians had proposed, which means that attacks on civilians, cities and Ukrainian ports can continue while the two parts extend for the territory.However, if the strikes on the energy infrastructure from both sides stop, it would mark the first mutually agreed suspension of attacks in the three -year war, which the White House has characterized as a first step towards a wider peace.A ceased for the fi...
