Criminal proceedings can proceed against two former Holyoke Soldiers’ Home officials accused of negligence that led to the deaths of dozens of veterans early in the COVID-19 pandemic, the state’s highest court ruled Thursday. In a 5-2 decision that reversed a lower court’s dismissal of grand jury indictments, the Supreme Judicial Court said prosecutors should have a chance to present their case at trial against Bennett Walsh, the facility’s former superintendent, and David Clinton, its former medical director. Justice Dalila Argaez Wendlandt wrote in the majority ruling that testimony presented to the grand jury “constituted probable cause to believe that the defendants violated the elder neglect statute” and concluded Superior Court Judge Edward McDonough “erred in dismissing the indictments” in November 2020. Justices David Lowy and Elspeth Cypher dissented, with Lowy writing that there was “insufficient evidence before the gra...Your pollen allergies are overwhelming? This might be why

(CNN) — Pollen has exploded to eye-watering levels this spring in some parts of the country after warm weather pushed plants out of their winter slumber much earlier than normal.In Atlanta, the pollen count sky rocketed to “extremely high” in early March and stayed high through much of April, according to the Atlanta Allergy and Asthma physicians practice. Farther north in Washington, DC, allergy sufferers have been dreading the lime-green film of pollen covering that covers windshields and porches and piles up on streets and sidewalks.But these aren’t isolated trends. As the planet warms, researchers say allergy season is starting earlier and lasting longer. And a study from the journal Nature published last year found that pollen count is projected to increase by 200% by the end of the century if planet-warming pollution continues to rise.Climate Central, a nonprofit focused on climate news and research, recently analyzed how w...New anti-obesity drug poised to upend weight loss care

As a growing number of overweight Americans clamor for Ozempic and Wegovy — drugs touted by celebrities and on TikTok to pare pounds — an even more powerful obesity medicine is poised to upend treatment.Tirzepatide, an Eli Lilly and Co. drug approved to treat type 2 diabetes under the brand name Mounjaro, helped people with the disease who were overweight or had obesity lose up to 16% of their body weight, or more than 34 pounds, over nearly 17 months, the company said on Thursday.The late-stage study of the drug for weight loss adds to earlier evidence that similar participants without diabetes lost up to 22% of their body weight over that period with weekly injections of the drug. For a typical patient on the highest dose, that meant shedding more than 50 pounds.Having diabetes makes it notoriously difficult to lose weight, said Dr. Nadia Ahmad, Lilly’s medical director of obesity clinical development, which means the recent results are especially significant. “We have...Heat-Knicks redux? ‘We understand the rivalry that they had back in the day.

It is the narrative that will drive the initial discussion, as the Miami Heat move into their Eastern Conference best-of-seven semifinal playoff series against the New York Knicks, a series that opens 1 p.m. Sunday at Madison Square Garden.But the reality of the rivalry is that the last time the teams met in a meaningful, competitive postseason matchup, Bam Adebayo had yet to turn 3, Gabe Vincent had yet to turn 4, Jimmy Butler was 10 and even sage Kyle Lowry was just 14.That was an epic 2000 Eastern Conference semifinal that went the full seven games and went to the Knicks, with Alonzo Mourning and Tim Hardaway as the Heat’s leading protagonists. To put the time lapsed into further perspective, Mourning is now 53, Hardaway 56.Yes, the teams since then also met in the 2012 first round, but that was a series the Heat dominated 4-1 behind their Big Three core of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, a series so unlike Heat-Knicks of the previous era that streamers were dropp...Latest news
