High levels of two proteins at the time of COVID-19 have been found in patients who later experienced cognitive problems, including 'brain fog', giving a major clue as to one cause of their symptoms: blood clots. Dr Max Taquet and colleagues from the University of Oxford, along with the University of Leicester looked at blood tests from 1,837 people who had been hospitalised with COVID-19 to find potential proteins (biomarkers) associated with subsequent cognitive problems, with symptoms including serious and persistent problems with thinking, concentration and memory.

"Close To Home," the debut novel by West Belfast native Michael Magee, is a triumph. Beginning with a brief unexpected fistfight that sets a series of events in motion, Michael Magee's brilliant debut novel "Close To Home" is an exploration of class, machismo, masculinity, and the kind of communal silences and social taboos that people can get lost in without a trace. Magee is a gifted and mordantly funny writer with a filmmaker's keen eye for the telling detail. Everything about his book, his characters, the settings, and the events all ring true, with a straight-from-life authenticity that lures you in from the opening paragraph.

MANILA, Philippines — Several senators on Tuesday rejected Health Secretary Teodoro Herbosa's plan to temporarily hire nursing board flunkers to address the dwindling number of nurses in government hospitals in the country. Senate Minority Leader Aquilino Pimentel III said it would be better for the Department of Health (DOH) to institutionalize improvements in the salaries and benefits of state health workers instead of pursuing 'Band-Aid solutions.' 'The proposal to allow non-board passers to practice nursing and grant them temporary licenses is a short-term solution,' Pimentel told reporters.

President Marcos Jr. last week promised to prioritize the development of the country's maritime industry through a 10-year plan that he says will modernize domestic shipping, support seafarers, improve the ports network, and enhance transport safety and security. Considering that the Philippines is an archipelago, it is expected that focus will be on the maritime sector to connect the people and economies of the thousands of its islands. However, the huge disparity in incomes and state of development of the different regions reflects the utter lack of priority given to the maritime industry in the past.

REUTERS/Bruno Kelly MANACAPURU, Brazil — Some rivers winding through Brazil's vast Amazon rainforest have piled up with dead fish in recent days as a worsening drought has led water levels to fall, affecting local communities' access to food and drinking supplies. Over 110,000 people have already been affected, officials say, as the dead fish have rotted and contaminated the water supply.
