FDA Approves First Gene Therapy for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
For genetic conditions like Duchenne muscular dystrophy, there is little doctors can do to slow or treat the condition other than trying to manage symptoms, since only addressing the genetic changes responsible can help halt the disease. Earlier today (June 22), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the first such intervention, a gene therapy called Elevidys, from Sarepta Therapeutics, a Massachusetts-based biotech company. The approval applies only to children ages 4 and 5, which reflects the conflicting opinions within the agency about the quality of data supporting the gene therapy’s effectiveness, ...

Tackling Climate Change Can Save Hospitals Money
(To get this story in your inbox, subscribe to the TIME CO2 Leadership Report newsletter here.) The business of healthcare in the U.S. is a big business, from the hospitals providing patients with care to companies that manufacture medical devices. In total, the U.S. spends more than 18% of GDP on health care. So perhaps it shouldn’t come as a surprise that health care also has a massive carbon footprint: it’s responsible for more than 8% of all U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] For years, the climate impact of health has received less attention than other carbon-intens...

UNISON seeks judicial review of home secretary over Windrush
Today is National Windrush Day, marking the 75th anniversary of the arrival of the passengers of the Empire Windrush to the UK, and celebrating the contribution and achievements of those Caribbean immigrants and many others who followed. As UNISON general secretary Christina McAnea says in her blog today, if Windrush hadn’t docked at Tilbury, the country wouldn’t also be celebrating the NHS’s 75th birthday this year, because many of the Windrush generation went straight to work in the health service. But the anniversary comes amid continued controversy over the government’s mistreatment of the Windrush generation....
