Officials told the Cincinnati Enquirer Tuesday “the COVID-19 pandemic stalled progress” which had seen the percentage of regional smoker adults drop from 35 percent to 19 percent by 2018....

The nurse’s description was recounted by intensive care nurse Caroline Maloney in Arizona, who said the other nurse had recently returned from working in an out-of-state hospital filled with Delta patients. “He goes, ‘younger, sicker, dying quicker,’” Maloney said. “And that’s a terrible quote.” It wasn’t long before Maloney saw the doors of her own hospital’s ICU were closed again, signaling that the unit was full of patients with the highly infectious disease....

According to a recent report, Nvidia has canceled the Founders Edition of the upcoming 2060 12 GB. While it was originally listed, apparently this was in error and has since been removed. Another source indicates that the company does not intend to release the 2060 FE at all. Going forward, then, it will be that only custom and partner variations of the graphics card will be available, which could be disappointing for those looking for a slightly lower budget card....

During his office’s daily press conference to discuss updates regarding the city’s outbreak, de Blasio said cases of the recently discovered pediatric illness had more than doubled since last week.

The counter-protesters, who were told to leave the area shortly after 8 p.m., were being escorted by officers through the parking lot of a nearby hotel when they “missed the turn,” the spokesperson told Gothamist reporter Gwynne Hogan.

And this past week, a street in New York was named after him, because his life story embodies everything that’s good about the city he loved and the country that adopted him.

When speaking of Clinton, Synar used the pronoun “we,” to the consternation of his staff, to whom Synar replied, “I’m part of the team....

Uses Otoacoustic Emissions Hearing tests are usually performed on newborn babies to detect deafness. The test can also partially estimate hearing sensitivity and test for functional hearing loss. Functional hearing loss is also sometimes referred to as non-organic hearing loss and is a condition where you have symptoms or behaviors of hearing loss but there is nothing actually wrong with your hearing.
