New radiocarbon ( 14 C) and optically simulated luminescence ages have confirmed the controversial antiquity of the ancient human footprints discovered in White Sands National Park, and reported in a study in 2021. Addressing the widespread criticism of their previous study, researchers report that the independent ages from multiple resolved sources conclusively show that the footprints were left behind between roughly 23,000 and 20,000 years ago, demonstrating that humans were present in southern North America during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM).

DHAKA - Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh said on Saturday they would not return to Myanmar to "be confined in camps" after making a visit to the country as part of efforts to encourage their voluntary repatriation. Nearly one million Rohingya Muslims are living in camps in the Bangladeshi border district of Cox's Bazar, most after fleeing a military-led crackdown in Buddhist-majority Myanmar in 2017. Twenty Rohingya Muslim refugees and seven Bangladeshi officials visited Maungdaw Township and nearby villages in Rakhine State on Friday to see the arrangements for resettlement.

President Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr. said the rice supply at the National Food Authority (NFA) was 'too low' and the government would have to boost its buffer stock with purchases from local producers and importations. 'In terms of the general supply for the country, I think we are in good shape. And although we'll still have to import, our importations have come down,' the President said after his meeting with NFA and agriculture officials in Malacañang on Thursday. Press Secretary Cheloy Velicaria-Garafil said the NFA had been proposing the importation of 330,000 metric tons of rice for a nine-day supply to cover an 'expected deficit' in the country's buffer stock for the relief operations if calamities strike this year.

MANILA, Philippines — Former Master Sgt. Rodolfo Mayo, the police anti-drug operative who was caught with at least 990 kilograms of crystal meth, or shabu, in an October 2022 operation, said the charges against him were merely made-up. Mayo attended the House of Representatives Committee on Dangerous Drugs hearing on Wednesday virtually, but his answers have been few — opting several times to invoke his right against self-incrimination. Surigao del Norte 2nd District Rep. Robert Ace Barbers, the committee chair, said to him in a mix of Filipino and English: 'Sergeant Mayo, maybe you can answer this very simple question: What were the charges filed against you?' 'Moro-moro [a made-up case], Your Honor,' Mayo replied.

The use of active mechanical circulatory support is growing rapidly around the world. The hope is that these systems will improve survival after the most severe form of acute heart failure, cardiogenic shock. A recent clinical trial led by heart specialist Professor Holger Thiele has shown that extracorporeal life support (ECLS) does not reduce 30-day mortality after cardiogenic shock. The finding is likely to influence future guidelines. The trial was recently presented at the annual congress of the European Society of Cardiology and published alongside an additional meta-analysis in the two most renowned medical journals, "The Lancet" and the "New England Journal of Medicine".
