The first randomized controlled trial of its kind aimed at identifying an effective way to manage myopia was published last week in JAMA Ophthalmology.

MANILA, Philippines—Given the inaccessibility of mental health services, the tragic state of the National Center for Mental Health (NCMH), which Sen. Raffy Tulfo likened to a 'pig pen,' seemed like a deadend for Filipinos with mental health illnesses. Dr. Dinah Nadera, a psychiatrist, said with Tulfo's revelation of the 'heartbreaking' condition of patients at the NCMH, families of patients 'will be discouraged from seeking help' from the government's leading mental health institution. But families being discouraged is only the tip of a more complex issue, especially since when it comes to a patients' access to health care, 'we can say that services are not available, accessible and affordable in several areas.

This week SafeWork NSW's prosecution of Qantas will conclude over the targeting and standing down of trained health and safety representative Theo Seremetidis at the start of the pandemic. The week had been set aside for the District Court of NSW to hear Qantas' defence. However, the airline's counsel had no witnesses to call, therefore final submissions will be made from today until Friday. The first-of-its-kind prosecution was launched following criminal charges laid by the NSW safety regulator over the targeting and standing down Theo Seremetidis as a result of his advice to workers on their rights to cease unsafe work.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Even President Joe Biden has some regrets about the name of the Inflation Reduction Act: As the giant law turns 1 on Wednesday, it's increasingly clear that immediately curbing prices wasn't the point. While price increases have cooled over the past year — the inflation rate has dropped from 9% to 3.2% — most economists say little to none of the drop came from the law. 'I can't think of any mechanism by which it would have brought down inflation to date,' said Harvard University economist Jason Furman, who added that the law could eventually help to lower electricity bills.
