As soon as the Supreme Court announced, pro-abortion protesters gathered outside a clinic in Missouri. She was the last in that state to still practice abortion. “We had fought so hard for this law to pass in 1973. We had won the victory, but now, 50 years later, we are being robbed of this right”, laments a protester.

War in Ukraine: How the Russians said goodbye to McDonald’s
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief
Since that first restaurant, the McDonald’s empire has spanned three decades across the country. Today, 62,000 employees work for the company. The entire chain has just been sold to a Russian businessman who undertakes to keep the jobs. A new brand will be born and will soon be discovered by Muscovites. “If it’s a Russian brand, I’ll be the first to go”says a young man. “Me, if the new Russian brand serves good food, I won’t regret McDonald’s as long as it’s fast”adds a young woman.
In a few days, the famous yellow Ms will therefore be unhooked. But that’s not the end of American fast food in Russia. Burger King remains open.
Unexplained cases of hepatitis in children: the fear of a new epidemic
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief
Affected children ranged in age from one month to 16 years old, but most were under 10 years old, and many under 5 years old. While none had comorbidities, one patient died, and 17 kidney transplants had to be performed.
For now, an infectious cause seems to be considered the most likely, but no common link with contaminated food or a toxicant has been identified. “Investigations are continuing in all countries reporting cases. Currently, the exact cause of hepatitis remains unknown”according to the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC).
Health professionals certainly pay particular attention to these unexplained cases, but also try to temporize and stifle any wind of panic. “You always have to take things seriously” et “watch carefully”more “not to fall into psychosis either” car “we don’t even know where it comes from”said Yazdan Yazdanpanah, head of the infectious diseases department at Bichat hospital in Paris and member of the French Scientific Council, in a recent interview with Express.
American with terminal lung cancer saved by double transplant
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief
Surgeons are generally reluctant to perform this type of transplant, because the risk of relapse, in a patient who must take immunosuppressive drugs to prevent transplant rejection, is very high if there is even few cancer cells in the body. The first few surgeries of this kind failed, but doctors now know more regarding how cancers spread.
Albert Khoury’s symptoms appeared in early 2020: back pain, sneezing, chills, cough… This Chicago construction worker first thought it was Covid-19, before starting to cough blood and call his doctor. Tests reveal stage 1 cancer. “But because of the wave of Covid-19, I might not start treatment immediately”, he says in a press release. In July 2020, his cancer had worsened, at stage 2. And the chemotherapy did not prevent it from progressing further, at stages 3 then 4.
He had been told that he would not survive it, when his sister told him regarding lung transplants at Northwestern Medicine Hospital, a pioneer in this field. In 2020, a team led by surgeon Ankit Bharat had already performed a double transplant on a young woman whose lungs had been ravaged by Covid-19.
