ARLINGTON, Va., June 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ Although cancer patients have a disproportionately higher COVID-19 mortality rate, they have nuanced vaccine attitudes. While a majority of patients expressed interest in vaccination, feelings about what vaccination can accomplish mirrored the nation s political divide. Concurrently, cancer patients report adverse events comparable with the general population. These results are from studies conducted by
Inspire, the vital health community for millions of patients and caregivers, and COSMO, the Collaboration for Outcomes using Social Media in Oncology, and are being presented June 4-8 at the American Society of Clinical Oncology® (ASCO) conference.

REGIONAL Both sides were claiming victory on Wednesday after the Minnesota Supreme Court delivered a mixed verdict on key permits for the proposed PolyMet copper-nickel mine near Hoyt Lakes.
The high court reversed parts of the ruling issued by the Court of Appeals back in January 2020, which had ordered a contested case hearing on disputes over the method of tailings dam construction, financial assurance, and the role of PolyMet’s majority owner, Glencore, in the permitting process. The high court found that the Department of Natural Resources had acted within its discretion when it denied a request by the groups Water Legacy, the Minnesota Center for Environmental Advocacy, the Fond du Lac Band, and others, for a contested case hearing to present evidence contrary to the DNR’s position on the permits in question. That finding means a contested case hearing won’t be required to address those issues.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) can come out of the blue or be diagnosed years after it’s first suspected.

1. You re Not Too Young to Have RA
That s what Shelley Fritz, 51, of Kauai, Hawaii, learned when she found out she had rheumatoid arthritis at age 42. Her initial reaction that she was too young to get RA is typical, says rheumatologistRebecca Manno, MD, adjunct assistant professor of medicine in the division of rheumatology at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore.
Irene Jerome, the countyâs Firewise coordinator, said the CWFP is updated annually.
The program helps organizations and property owners reduce fire danger and has been funded by the Secure Rural Schools payments.
She said she had been the âgo-toâ about anything that has to do with fire prevention in Grant County.
In February, she said, Oregon Fire Prevention invited her to give a presentation about how Grant County has successfully established Firewise in various communities throughout the county. She said the group was impressed, given the challenges with being geographically spread out.
She said the Firewise program, like everything else in 2020, has been affected by the pandemic.
