The report suggests steps that medical tourists should consider before traveling to get work done. "Be informed about who is doing your surgery, the qualifications of the person doing your surgery, and whether or not the facility is capable of doing the surgery and whether it is capable of providing adequate post-operative care - which is crucial," said Dr. Matthew Hudson , the study's first author. A Brazilian butt lift involves injecting fat. The report included de...

[ad_1] CEO Eric Hansotia of agriculture-machinery manufacturer Agco told CNBC's Jim Cramer on Friday that elevated grain prices — and the high cost of food — will persist, even if Russia's invasion of Ukraine ended tomorrow. Both Russia and Ukraine serve as major global grain suppliers, with the latter often referred to as the "breadbasket of Europe," and so when the war broke out in February 2022 it sent the world's food supply chain into turmoil . When Hansotia sat down with "Mad Money" last March , he told Cramer "13% of the global calories came out of production" when Russian and Ukraine borders shut down. Coupled with climate issues — namely droughts across Europe and North America — the food supply chain disaster spurred by the Russia's invasion is not likely to fade anytime soon, according to Hansotia. "Even if [the war] were to end tomorrow, there's a long-standing degradation in the ability for that area to grow cro...

[ad_1] A trader works on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange on Oct. 20, 2023. Michael Nagle | Bloomberg | Getty Images Stocks traded higher Tuesday, as Wall Street tried to close out a dismal month of trading — that saw Treasury yields surge to levels not seen in more than 16 years — on a high note. The broader index rose 0.4%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 59 points, or 0.2%, while the Nasdaq Composite gained 0.3%. The S&P 500 advance was held in check mainly by communication services stocks, which was one of just two sectors trading in negative territory in afternoon trading.

Caterpillar slid more than 6% after the construction equipment maker said its fourth-...

[ad_1] WAKE FOREST: The endangered red wolf can survive in the wild, but only with "significant additional management intervention," according to a long-awaited population viability analysis released Friday. The US Fish and Wildlife Service also released an updated recovery plan Friday for " Canis rufus " - the only wolf species unique to the United States. It calls for spending nearly $328 million over the next 50 years to get the red wolf off the endangered species list. "This final revised recovery plan will help the conservation and survival of the Red Wolf, ensuring these endangered canids endure in the wild for future generations," Interior Department Assistant Secretary for Fish and Wildlife and Parks Shannon Estenoz said in a news release. But the announcement comes with a lot of caveats. The viability analysis says it will take drastic reductions in gunshot and vehicle deaths, stepped-up efforts to prevent wolf-coyote mixing, and creat...
