The Food and Drug Administration this week posted what critics call an "underwhelming" epilogue to the devastating outbreak of botulism in babies , which was linked to spore-contaminated formula made by ByHeart . Despite clear tracking of the contamination, the regulator still doesn't know how the bacteria arrived in the formula—or how to prevent it from happening again. "The FDA's investigation into the root cause is ongoing with a focus on ingredients," the agency reported. In the void, three companies at the center of the investigation are left pointing fingers at each other, with none publicly taking responsibility for the contamination. Read full article Comments

《顾氏医镜》：「至虚有盛候。」 在中医的学说中，虽然没有记载红斑狼疮这个病名，但出现红斑狼疮的各种症状时，所谓「至虚有盛候」，是指身体表面有许多不同的发炎、发热，代表病人体内有虚性的症状。 注册中医师李浩然说：「中医临床里面，红斑狼疮病人多数是阴虚火热的体质，他们通常有容易辨认的症状，中文叫作两冠潮红，即是说面红卜卜。另外会伴随干燥和热的症状，例如口干、眼干、便秘，即是肠道都干，有时比较烦热、燥热、急燥，都会有这样的全身症状，例如脾胃虚弱的体质，或者肝肾不足的体质，都要留意一下，因为这些体质，例如脾胃不好的体质，久而久之吸收的时候，气血、营养物质吸收不了，慢慢会形成阴虚火热的体质。」 中医对红斑狼疮的主要治疗方向，以「清热养阴，滋补肝肾」为主，适量加入「化瘀通络」的配方。 李浩然称：「常用的方法有六味地黄丸、玉女煎、六味地黄丸，以滋阴、养血为主，另外刚才提到的玉女煎，它有滋养肺胃的作用，让人滋润一点，不会太干燥，不过临床也会因应病人的年纪，适当加一些滋补肝肾的中药，譬如说有些皮肤症状红卜卜的，我们会适量加一些凉血、活血，例如赤芍、丹皮、丹参的中药。」 李医师表示，一般会开中药让病人调理身体，部分有需要的病人，就可以接受针灸治疗。 李浩然指出：「常用的穴位由上至下，例如阴陵泉，有滋阴补肾(功效)，令病人有多些水分，血流畅通的作用；另外，三阴交，三阴交是三个阴经交汇之处，有滋阴、养血的作用。另外，刚才提及的足三里，有滋补脾胃(功效)，等病人脾胃好些，对于血、营养的吸收会好些，也是有一个养阴的作用。另外还有太溪穴，这个有滋补肝肾的作用。」 针对一些有红斑、皮肤干燥的病人，可以煲或者焗石斛杞子茶，有清虚火以及保肝肾的作用。 材料： 杞子 15克 石斛 15克 煮法：沸水加盖焗30分钟或以小火煲15分钟。 点击观看节目重温

"The value of AI in our industry is productivity improvement," Soriot said on CNBC's " Mad Money " on Friday. "In the way you design a new medicine, a new drug, you can actually do it faster, do it smarter." The comments come as investors increasingly question whether the massive spending on artificial intelligence is producing meaningful returns in industries like healthcare. Soriot said AstraZeneca is already seeing practical applications across drug discovery and development, from identifying new targets to improving the design of potential medicines. "You can come up with new targets, but also you can optimize your molecule [and] remove what you think is going to be potential side effects from the molecule, and AI helps you do this," he said. Soriot noted that AI is also helping the company make better decisions about which drugs to advance through the development process. Through its partnership with Tempus AI, he said the company is using AI models to analyze data with the goal of improving drug discovery and increasing the odds of success in late-stage trials. "We have developed an agent that takes all this data together — clinical data, laboratory data — and helps us predict the probability of success of a Phase 3 trial," Soriot said. The potential payoff is significant. "We spend $300 million, $400 million, $500 million on a trial," Soriot said. "If you increase the probability of success, the productivity improvement is enormous." watch now VIDEO 9:12 09:12 AstraZeneca CEO Pascal Soriot goes one-on-one with Jim Cramer Mad Money with Jim Cramer Jim Cramer's Guide to Investing Click here to read Jim...

Waste Of The Day: Mismanagement At SF Zoo Authored by Jeremy Portnoy via RealClearInvestigations , Topline: The taxpayer-funded San Francisco Zoo "does not have a healthy or stable financial condition," according to a city audit released in May. The zoo has no written plans or budgets to guide its construction projects, and spent $12 million on them without city approva l. Employees are also allegedly hiring their friends and relatives as contractors. Key facts: The zoo is required to get approval from San Francisco's Recreation and Park Commission before paying more than $50,000 for a construction project. But employees never did so while spending millions on a new "Madagascar Center" and other huge projects, auditors found. There is also a "widespread view among staff that [the zoo] has a toxic workplace environment," according to the audit. Employees were allegedly chosen for senior roles based on "discrimination and favoritism," not "professional qualifications." The zoo spends more than $4 million on contracted services like security and advertising every year, but there is no evidence that any of them went through a competitive bidding process to find the best price. The zoo keeps no records of its contractors and was unable to tell auditors how much they are being paid, the audit found. The audit also confirmed that former zoo CEO Tanya Peterson's fiancé was hired to perform concerts, and other relatives of zoo staff received more than $800,000 for construction projects . The San Francisco Chronicle first exposed the nepotism allegations in 2024, which eventually contributed to Peterson's resignation. The City of San Francisco gives the zoo $4 million in funding every year, though that amount has not increased since 1993. Most of the zoo's revenue comes from tickets, but low attendance has caused the zoo to outspend its budget for at least the last eight years. The zoo hid this fact from the city by projecting "unrealistically high" attendance numbers each ye...

He noted that while job creation appears broad-based, some gains—such as the 70,000 hospitality jobs—may be influenced by seasonal factors like World Cup-related hiring.
