Research Highlights: An analysis of more than two million adults in the U.S. found that present day heart failure risk was higher among Black adults who lived in zip codes historically impacted by redlining compared to Black adults living in non-redlined areas. Redlining did not have the same impact on heart failure risk among white adults living in historically redlined zip codes. Among Black adults living in historically redlined communities, approximately half of the excess risk of heart failure appeared to be explained by higher levels of socioeconomic distress.

Anton Petrus/Getty Images (WASHINGTON) -- The Biden administration is rethinking how it classifies marijuana under a federal list of drugs, a move that could allow the cannabis industry to save potentially billions in federal taxes each year because it would allow producers to write off their business expenses. The proposal, recommended by the Department of Health and Human Services and under consideration by the Drug Enforcement Administration, also would open up the possibility that medical researchers could study the benefits and risks of marijuana as a potential drug.

HALIFAX, Nova Scotia -Wildfires that have already forced thousands in Canada's Nova Scotia province to evacuate were threatening communities on the outskirts of Halifax on Wednesday and causing poor air quality hundreds of miles away as smoke drifted across the U.S. border. Dozens of firefighters and several water bombers battled two out-of-control blazes - dubbed the Tantallon Fire and the Bedford Fire - northwest of downtown Halifax, the provincial capital. More than 18,000 people have fled their homes, most of them in the heavily forested fringes of the city, but there have been no reported fatalities.

Domestic violence, including intimate partner violence (IPV), before, during or after pregnancy is associated with many serious harms, including increased risk of maternal hemorrhage, higher rates of postpartum depression and increased risks of maternal and infant morbidity and mortality. Universal screening for IPV during prenatal or postpartum health care visits is one of the most effective strategies for identifying and supporting people experiencing IPV, yet many IPV victims are not screened.
