Now, a three-judge panel on the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals has temporarily blocked part of that earlier ruling, tipping things further into chaos and leaving many wondering about the drug's accessibility moving forward. Earlier in the month, in an April 7 decision, Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk of the Northern District of Texas ruled in favor of Alliance Defending Freedom -- a conservative Christian legal advocacy group -- which had asked the court to reverse the U.

LOS ANGELES (August 8, 2023) — Whatever the opioid crisis calls to mind, it likely isn't pacifiers and diapers. But when 1 out of every 5 hospitalized infants receives opioids, and when some infants require methadone treatment, it's time to widen the scope. A new study led by pediatric surgeons at Children's Hospital Los Angeles shows that methadone use after surgery can prolong a baby's recovery and increase an infant's dependence on ventilators and intravenous (IV) nutrition. To call the opioid problem in the United States a crisis is not hyperbole.

LONDON — Queen Consort Camilla is taking her first steps on the international stage as wife of the British monarch, marking the end of a long and sometimes bumpy journey from palace margins to royal limelight. Camilla, 75, will be at King Charles III's side when he makes the first state visit of his reign to Germany on Wednesday. In the turbulent 1990s, Camilla was vilified as 'the other woman' in Charles's marriage to his first wife, Princess Diana. But she has slowly won acceptance — if not adulation — for her steadfast support for her husband and an unshowy dedication to good causes.
