Quick Glance: Hepatitis B Prevention and Treatment
  • Hepatitis B is a liver infection caused by the hepatitis B virus, which can be acute or chronic. It can lead to fatal outcomes like cirrhosis and liver cancer.

  • The infection spreads through infected body fluids like blood, saliva, vaginal fluids, and semen, as well as from mother to child. A safe and effective vaccine provides nearly 100% protection against the virus.

  • Transmission commonly occurs from mother to child or through contact with infected blood. Symptoms range from jaundice to abdominal pain and vomiting. Chronic hepatitis B can lead to cirrhosis and liver cancer.

  • Treatment for hepatitis B includes medications for chronic cases and vaccination for prevention. The World Health Organization advocates for prevention, diagnosis, and treatment measures to halt the spread of the disease and achieve elimination by 2030.

Trump Appears to Fall Asleep in Courtroom Ahead of Criminal Trial
Quick Glance: Twelve Jurors Seated in Trump's Hush Money Trial
  • A jury of 12 individuals was empaneled on Thursday in the landmark hush money trial of former President Donald Trump, bringing the proceedings closer to opening arguments and the commencement of weeks filled with compelling testimonies.

  • The upcoming trial is anticipated to present unfavorable testimonies regarding Trump's personal life pre-presidency, including accusations of manipulating business records to suppress narratives in the final days of the 2016 election surrounding his intimate relationships.

  • Central to the trial is a payment of $130,000 made by Cohen just before the 2016 election to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, aimed at preventing her allegations of a sexual encounter with Trump from being publicized in the campaign's final stretch.

  • The selection of the jury holds paramount significance in any criminal proceeding, particularly so when the accused is a former president and the presumed Republican candidate. Potential jurors have undergone extensive scrutiny concerning their online presence, personal backgrounds, and political stances as legal representatives and the judge meticulously scrutinize for partialities that could compromise their impartiality.

COVID Virus Can Remain in the Body Over a Year
Quick Glance: Prolonged Presence of COVID Virus in the Body
  • Researchers at the University of California in San Francisco have determined that remnants of the COVID-19 virus can persist in blood and tissue for more than a year after the initial infection.

  • During their examination of long-lasting COVID, scientists identified COVID antigens in the blood up to 14 months post-infection and in tissue samples for over 2 years after the infection.

  • These research findings offer compelling evidence that COVID antigens may endure in certain individuals even following regular immune responses.

  • The UCSF research team is actively engaged in clinical trials to assess the potential of monoclonal antibodies or antiviral medications in eliminating the virus.

Women's NCAA championship garners more viewers than men's final
Quick Glance: Women's NCAA Title Game Shines with Record Viewership
  • South Carolina’s victory of 87-75 over Caitlin Clark and Iowa in the women’s NCAA championship game marks a historic moment. For the first time, the women's game surpassed the men's title game, achieving the second-highest viewership for a non-Olympic women's sporting event on U.S. television.

  • The viewership for the Sunday afternoon game, which awarded the Gamecocks their fourth national title and denied Clark's Hawkeyes their first, peaked at 24.1 million during the final 15 minutes. Nielsen's figures include an estimate of individuals watching outside their homes, a metric not previously accounted for before 2020.

  • The audience for the national title game increased by 90% compared to the previous year when Clark and Iowa faced off against LSU. Moreover, this was the inaugural occurrence since 1995 of the championship being broadcast on network television.

  • During the Final Four, Clark emphasized the positive impact of audience growth on all women's sports, not solely basketball. Fox broadcasted 14 women's games this season, including three in prime time, NBC featured two, and CBS televised the Big Ten tournament championship. ABC presented five regular-season games and nine during the NCAA Tournament.
