[ad_1] A study comparing a new, higher-dose nasal spray for opioid overdoses to the standard dose found no increase in survival rates but more side effects. The 8-milligram naloxone spray, approved two years ago, was compared to the previous standard dose in rural parts of New York. The study, published by the CDC, found no added benefit from the higher dose, with survival rates remaining the same. A new, higher-dose nasal spray for reversing opioid overdoses did not save more lives than the previous standard dose, but it did cause more vomiting and other side effects, researchers wrote in a study published Thursday. The 8-milligram naloxone spray — twice as potent as the highest dose previously available — was approved two years ago after pressure from experts and patient advocates who noted lower-dose antidotes often were being given multiple times to people suffering overdoses. The new study, which was limited to more rural parts of New York state, is being called the first ...

[ad_1] In the final months of the Trump administration, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin scrambled to wrest TikTok away from its Chinese parent company, arguing that only a new U.S. owner could protect millions of Americans’ sensitive personal information from abuse. “Everybody agrees it can’t exist as it does,” Mnuchin said at the time. Four years later, though, Mnuchin has emerged as the most prominent prospective bidder for the popular video app — marking a unique twist in a long-running saga that has raised new ethics alarms in Washington. For Mnuchin, 61, TikTok represents a tantalizing business opportunity and a potential political quagmire. The founder of a Washington-based private equity firm, Mnuchin announced this month that he hopes to “put together a group” that could purchase TikTok if Congress requires its owner, ByteDance, to divest its stake in the social network. Mnuchin’s involvement has recalled his time as treasury secretary, when he personally advised Presid...

[ad_1] One of Donna Dennis’s architectural installations — a false tunnel entrance installed on the Mad River — so confounded local Ohioans that one morning in August 1981, someone pipe-bombed it. New York’s bomb squad confiscated part of another structure, a cabin occupying City Hall Park, in 1986. The works by Dennis are so faithful to existing vocabularies of infrastructure that they defy classification as art objects. In 1970s New York, as painting and sculpture gave way to a gold rush of conceptualism, environments, performance and politics, the Ohio-born Dennis, fresh from art school in Minnesota and Paris, tuned into consciousness-raising women’s groups and devoted her craft to unsettlingly frank resemblances of buildings. First came hotel and subway facades, then houses in the round — each a combination of construction and artist materials, and slightly too small to pretend functionality. (For lights she uses appliance bulbs, and her doors terminate at her eye level.) Si...

[ad_1] Spain’s World Cup victory was meant to be a moment of celebration for the country. But now, players are boycotting the national team, and staffers of the Spanish soccer federation are resigning in protest against its president, Luis Rubiales, who was provisionally suspended by FIFA , soccer’s international governing body, after he kissed a player on the lips, allegedly against her will. Midfielder Jenni Hermoso, 33, says she did not consent to the kiss, which happened at the post-match ceremony, and that she and her family have faced pressure from the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) to absolve Rubiales, 46.
