Those who stayed up to watch the partial lunar eclipse were rewarded with a stunning sight. At the peak of the eclipse, the moon was 96 percent immersed in the Earth’s shadow, visible to viewers in parts of the Americas, Western Europe and West Africa.

RIP Louisa Gag, a transit planner who dedicated her career to making Boston’s streets safer for cyclists & pedestrians. She was killed while biking to work on July 9, 2026. Street safety improvements shouldn’t be delayed, watered down, or treated as a political inconvenience. Safe streets now!!

In a patient with a staghorn calculus, chronic urinary tract infection with 𝘒𝘭𝘦𝘣𝘴𝘪𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘢 𝘱𝘯𝘦𝘶𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘢𝘦 enabled within-patient evolution of virulence properties that facilitated dissemination of infection, leading to a brain abscess. Full case details: https://nej.md/4wbOHrm

MRI scans of the brain. Arrows are pointing to small foci in both parietal lobes that are suggestive of intraparenchymal abscesses. The title "MRI Suggestive of Intraparenchymal Abscesses" is written above the scans.

Individuals have to hire their own lawyer in a horrific crash to get answers. The state of things in carland. You have to love the energy a particular class of folk put towards vilifing transit & bike infrastructure when this kind of thing just happens. www.thestar.com/news/ontario...

Andes virus, the sole orthohantavirus with documented human-to-human transmission, causes hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (case fatality rate, 25 to 40%). Aggressive supportive care and strict infection-control measures are needed. Learn more: https://nej.md/3Ryz3Hz

The image is a flowchart detailing the clinical course of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome. It starts with "Incubation" and "Prodrome," proceeds to "Cardiopulmonary stage" (divided into "Initial symptoms" and "ARDS and shock"), then "Early recovery," and ends with "Convalescence." Each phase lists specific symptoms and findings. Examination and laboratory findings are provided beneath the phases, describing observations and test results like physical examination outcomes and laboratory markers. An arrow at the top indicates the progression through phases.
