FULL BED CAPACITY SA NKTI
Inanunsyo ng National Kidney and Transplant Institute (NKTI) sa Quezon City na nasa full bed capacity na ito dahil sa pagdami ng mga kaso ng leptospirosis at mataas na bilang ng mga pasyente sa emergency room.
Para mabigyang-prayoridad ang mga pasyenteng nangangailangan ng agarang at emergency na pangangalaga at pagpapaospital, lilimitahan muna ang mga walk-in admission.
"Patients seeking elective or non-emergency admission are advised to coordinate with their attending physician and consider other healthcare facilities with available bed capacity to avoid prolonged waiting times."

A deadly, drug-resistant superbug is currently spreading across U.S. states.
A team of researchers at the University of California, San Francisco has discovered a terrifying mechanism behind the rise of Candida auris, a drug-resistant fungal superbug that has already infected thousands of Americans across 23 states this year.
Unlike typical skin fungi that the human body easily clears, C. auris physically retreats into hair follicles. Once nestled inside, the fungus manipulates the skin's immune response, essentially rewiring local defenses to remain undetected. This cellular stealth allows it to establish a persistent colony, waiting for its host’s immune system to weaken before invading the bloodstream and causing life-threatening infections.
Public health officials are increasingly alarmed as this resilient pathogen continues to bypass standard clinical defenses. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has designated C. auris an urgent antimicrobial threat, with some strains entirely impervious to all existing antifungal medications.
While the general public remains at a relatively low risk of severe illness, the superbug poses an extraordinary danger to hospitalized and immunocompromised patients, boasting a mortality rate that can reach up to 60 percent. Understanding how the fungus colonizes the skin represents a vital breakthrough, but scientists warn that swift infection-control measures are urgently needed to halt its silent spread through healthcare facilities.

BACK TO BUSINESS SA FLOOD CONTROL SCAM?
Dismayado si Baguio City Mayor Benjamin Magalong sa takbo ng imbestigasyon sa maanomalyang flood control projects sa bansa.
“Frustrating and very disappointing. Senador pa lang ang nagagalaw,” saad niya.
“‘Yung mga congressman, wala pa, pangiti-ngiti lang sila. ‘Yung iba nga sa kanila nandiyan pa sa [VP Sara] impeachment prosecutors eh,” dagdag pa ni Magalong.
Giit pa niya, mabagal ang imbestigasyon at kaunti pa lang ang naihahaing kaso kompara sa dami ng umano’y mga anomalya sa flood control projects.
