California Gov. Newsom says 'we're done' with Walgreens after abortion pill policy
to the company threatening it with legal action if it distributed the drug in their states, including some where abortion isn’t banned. Under the new policy, Walgreens would not distribute the drug in some states which permit abortion: Kansas, Florida, Georgia, Alaska, Indiana, Iowa, Ohio, South Carolina, and Utah.
However, experts warn that Walgreens’ decision could have major consequences from both a health and legal perspective. McDonald-Mosley says that she’s concerned that patients seeking abortions, suffering miscarriages or who need the drug for other reasons could be at an increased health risk if they do not have access to mifepristone, and if they have to rely on a treatment that is less effective. “If you decrease effectiveness, even a small amount, but apply that to a large number of people in the population, there are absolutely going to be people who suffer consequences,” says McDonald-Mosley.

Ex-Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan Won't Challenge Trump in 2024Former Republican Gov. Larry Hogan of Maryland, a fierce critic of Donald Trump, says he won’t run for the White House in 2024, after long positioning himself as a possible alternative to the ex-president. Hogan writes in The New York Times that he’s long said he cares “more about ensuring a future for the Republican Party than securing my own future in the Republican Party.” The move is a recognition that while many in the GOP are considering ways to move on from the Trump era, there’s little appetite among primary voters for such a vocal critic of Trump. For now, that leaves Trump as the leading figure in the early field of Republican candidates.

Depression in association with neutrophil-to-lymphocyte, platelet-to-lymphocyte, and advanced lung cancer inflammation index biomarkers predicting lung cancer survivalLung cancer is a product of inflammation and a dysfunctional immune system, and depression has similar dysregulation. Depression disproportionately affects lung cancer patients, having the highest rates of all cancers. Systemic inflammation and depression are both predictive of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) survival, but the existence and extent of any co-occurrence is unknown. Studied is the association between systemic inflammation ratio (SIR) biomarker levels and patients’ depressive symptoms, with the hypothesis that depression severity would be significantly associated with prognostically poor inflammation. Newly diagnosed stage-IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC; N=186) patients were enrolled (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03199651) and blood draws and depression self-reports (Patient Health Questionnaire-9) were obtained. For SIRs, cell counts of neutrophils (N), lymphocytes (L), and platelets (P) were abstracted for ratio (R) calculations for NLR, PLR, and the Advanced Lung cancer Inflammation Index (ALI). Patients were followed and biomarkers were tested as predictors of 2-year overall survival (OS) to confirm their relevance. Next, multivariate linear regressions tested associations of depression with NLR, PLR, and ALI. Overall 2-year mortality was 61% (113/186). Cox model analyses confirmed higher NLR [hazard ratio (HR)=1.91; p=0.001] and PLR (HR=2.08; p|0.001), along with lower ALI (HR=0.53; p=0.005), to be predictive of worse OS. Adjusting for covariates, depression was reliably associated with biomarker levels (p ≤ 0.02). Patients with moderate/severe depressive symptoms were 2 to 3 times more likely to have prognostically poor biomarker levels. Novel data show patients’ depressive symptoms were reliably associated with lung-relevant systemic inflammation biomarkers, all assessed at diagnosis/pretreatment. The same SIRs were found prognostic for patients’ 2-year OS. Intensive study of depression, combined with measures of cell biology and in
