The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced new sepsis guidelines yesterday. The seven guidelines, called “Sepsis Core Elements”, are a result of rising rates. According to the CDC, around 1.7. million adults in the U.S. develop sepsis every year and 350,000 die during hospitalization.
Bullying rates have increased dramatically over the last five years according to an annual survey by the Boys and Girls Club of America. The survey shows that since the pandemic disruption, kids are struggling with stress management, navigating peer relationships. Despite this, 75% of students intend to go to college and 62% believe they have the skills to become successful in a job.

Their research focused on 1,382 smokers from a clinic in Kyoto. Their findings were presented at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress 2023 in Amsterdam.
