Acacia Fraternity's memorial rock sits on the corner of Hillview Avenue and South Prince Street in Brookwood. In the background sits Tau Kappa Epsilon's memorial rock. / Kat Delaney / Snapper Morgan Huber Opinion Editor Central Pennsylvania is well known for its rich history, exemplified by our landmarks and structures that have been preserved through time, such as former school buildings, classrooms, homes, and other beautiful nods to our past. As one walks past the former banks, schools, and parks in the towns and cities we know and love, it may be easy to forget how much has truly happened there. When we fail to maintain and appreciate these buildings and landmarks, they are often forgotten by the always rushing eyes of humans, breaking down and welcoming nature into their walls until the Earth finally reclaims them.  Greek life is and always has been an intriguing subculture at Millersville, one that is often overlooked by the general public

By The News staff  |  The Hutchinson News A Hutchinson man received minor injuries in a four-car crash on K-96 early Monday morning in Sedgwick County. The Kansas Highway Patrol reported Nicholas Ramon Wagner, 56, of Hutchinson, was attempting to pull onto the outside shoulder on westbound K-96 when his 2003 Chevy Blazer, which was still partially in the roadway, was struck from behind by a 2015 Nissan driven by Jeremiah Wade Haynes, 20, of El Dorado. Haynes attempted an evasive maneuver but was unable to avoid the collision, the patrol reported. Due to low light conditions and the damage to the back of the Blazer, a 2006 Dodge Dakota driven by Enrique Reyes Hernandez, 51, of Wichita, then rear-ended it. Then a 2008 Toyota Camry driven by Jody Christopher Wilgus, 38, of Wichita, sideswiped the Blazer as it "swerved through the scene." All of the drivers were wearing seat belts, the report stated. Wagner was taken to Wesley Medical Center for treatment of s

The vaccine was only about 16 percent effective at reducing a person's chance of getting a mild or moderate infection, the agency said. Experts said a good rate would be at least 50 percent. This season's flu vaccine has offered little to no protection against getting a mild or moderate case of influenza, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said this week. In a study of more than 3,600 Americans in seven states, the C.D.C. said in a report that the vaccine was only around 16 percent effective, a rate that it said was "not statistically significant." "It's not ineffective, but it's clearly suboptimal in its efficacy," Dr. Jesse L. Goodman, a former chief scientist at the Food and Drug Administration, said on Thursday. He reviewed the report but was not associated with it. Still, despite the vaccine's lackluster performance this season, which started in October and lasts through May, the C.D.C. suggested that people get inoculated, sayin

About 18 years ago, while delivering a talk at a CDC conference, Gregory Poland punked 2,000 of his fellow scientists. Ten minutes into his lecture, a member of the audience, under Poland's instruction, raced up to the podium with a slip of paper. Poland skimmed the note and looked up, stony-faced. "Colleagues, I am unsure of what to say," he said. "We have just been notified of a virus that's been detected in the U.S. that will take somewhere between 10,000 and 15,000 lives this year." The room erupted in a horrified, cinematic gasp. Poland paused, then leaned into the mic. "The name of the virus," he declared, "is influenza." Call it funny, call it mean, but at least call it true. Poland, a physician and vaccinologist at Mayo Clinic, had done little more than recast two facts his colleagues already knew: Flu is highly contagious and highly dangerous, a staggering burden on public health; and for years and years and years, Americans, eve

A vaccination campaign targeting 23 million children has kicked off in Malawi and neighboring countries to contain an outbreak of wild polio declared last month, the World Health Organization (WHO) says. Malawi confirmed a fresh outbreak of the virus — the first in the country for 30 years — on 17 February after a three-year-old girl developed acute paralysis, triggering concerns of a major outbreak. The wild poliovirus type 1 case was genetically linked to samples of patients analyzed in 2020 in Sindh, a province of Pakistan where this type of the virus is endemic. This campaign is not the usual immunization where health workers are at a health facility and wait for children to come." Janet Kayita, WHO There are three variants of wild or naturally occurring poliovirus. Types 2 and 3 have been eradicated, while type 1 remains endemic in Pakistan and Afghanistan. "Polio is a highly infectious and an untreatable disease that can result in permanent p

The influenza virus caused between 9–41 million illnesses and 12–52,000 deaths in the United States each year between 2010 and 2020. In a "bad" flu year, around 30,000 people die in the UK from flu and pneumonia. A 2018 study estimated that 30% of the burden of infectious disease in Europe is due to influenza. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates 3–5 million severe flu cases and 290,000 to 650,000 respiratory deaths occur worldwide each year. Those at high risk of flu complications are children younger than two years and adults aged 65 years and above, as well as pregnant women and people with certain chronic medical conditions. The best strategy for avoiding flu is to get a vaccine shot, with current vaccines offering protection against four strains of the virus: two type B and two type A strains. The WHO recommends vaccination as the main measure for preventing the disease and advises that healthcare workers receive a flu jab. Egg-based vaccines rule the roo

Casting a long shadow Despite the chaos it caused in 1918—or arguably because of it—Pfeiffer's bacillus had a lasting effect on medicine and microbiology. Then as now, researchers trying to control the pandemic were publishing their findings about causes and treatments at a frantic pace. But in 1918 it was much harder to compare results, let alone understand the big picture. The public health community at the time had no standardised methods of research or testing, virtually no peer review, and no common protocols for clinical trials. Some of the vaccine trials for the 1918 flu were conducted on vulnerable populations, including mentally ill patients, orphans, and prisoners. In response, the American Public Health Association issued the nation's first guidelines for conducting vaccine trials in January 1919. The guide included some of the most foundational practices used today, such as having a control group—a set of participants who don't get the experimental treat

Some parents are still hesitant about vaccinating their children. Although the Department of Health and Human Services authorized all licensed pharmacists to administer vaccines to children 3 ages through 18 in 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many parents are still hesitant about their kids getting vaccines or are behind on non-COVID-19 vaccinations for their children. The pandemic created a huge void in vaccinations for children, said Kim McKeirnan, PharmD, BCACP, associate professor at Washington State University, at the APhA 2022 Annual Meeting & Exposition in San Antonio, Texas. "If have 4 children, and the pediatrician's office I go to was closed, that would create a great opportunity to miss vaccines," McKeirnan said. "Pharmacies are a great place for them to catch up." While the American Academy of Pediatrics expressed concern about pharmacists immunizing children at the beginning of the pandemic because it would take away from well-chi

CHILLICOTHE , Mo.  – Hedrick Medical Center has been recognized as a Missouri AIM Star by the Missouri Alliance for Innovation on Maternal Health. The recognition signifies the hospital's completion of the organization's Severe Hypertension in Pregnancy Collaborative. Hypertension, known as high blood pressure, can have a devastating effect on a mother and baby. Preeclampsia, a condition signaled by high blood pressure, is the leading cause of maternal mortality — occurring in one in every 25 pregnancies. "The evidence is clear — early intervention for hypertension can save the lives of a mother and child," said Jon D. Doolittle, Missouri Hospital Association President and CEO. "AIM's Severe Hypertension in Pregnancy Collaborative is a powerful tool in efforts to reduce maternal and child harm in Missouri. These hospitals are making a difference for their patients." The MO AIM initiative launched in 2019 to support hospitals' implementat

If your doctor doesn't believe you or take you seriously, you may need to change the way you're communicating your symptoms. Image Credit: Geber86/E+/GettyImages Maybe your doctor dismisses you whenever you mention your frequent headaches. Or she's always got one hand on the doorknob when you try to talk to her about your fatigue. Or she rolls her eyes when you tell her that despite diet and exercise, you can't lose weight. Video of the Day You're not alone. In 2020, Twitter blew up with the hashtag #PatientsAreNotFaking in response to a video of a nurse making fun of a "patient." Tens of thousands of people tweeted back their stories of being blown off by doctors and misdiagnosed. More recently, here at LIVESTRONG.com, we took a poll on our Instagram, and 80 percent of responders said they've struggled to get a doctor to take a health concern seriously. While it can happen to anyone, it seems particularly likely
