Ndidiamaka Amutah-Onukagha Advocates for Equity in Midlife Care for Black Women

Ndidiamaka Amutah-Onukagha Advocates for Equity in Midlife Care for Black Women

Ndidiamaka Amutah-Onukagha, a prominent advocate for Black maternal health, emphasizes the need for equitable healthcare for Black women, particularly in midlife. Her work highlights the systemic racism and implicit bias that contribute to adverse health outcomes for Black women, who are three times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than their white counterparts. Amutah-Onukagha, a professor at Tufts University and founder of the Center for Black Maternal Health and Reproductive Justice, is pushing for a comprehensive approach to women's health that spans their entire lifespan. She argues that addressing health disparities requires a preventative approach that supports women before, during, and after pregnancy. Her center is expanding its focus to include broader women's health issues, particularly for communities facing persistent inequities.

Consumer Reports Investigation Highlights Toxic Ingredients in Beauty Products

Consumer Reports Investigation Highlights Toxic Ingredients in Beauty Products

Consumer Reports has conducted an investigation revealing that many beauty products, including shampoos, deodorants, and lotions, may contain ingredients linked to serious health issues such as cancer risk and hormone disruption. Despite a 2022 law requiring cosmetic companies to register their products and ingredients with the FDA, these ingredients are not thoroughly reviewed for safety before reaching consumers. The report advises consumers to check labels for harmful chemicals like phthalates, parabens, formaldehyde, PFAS, and coal tar dyes, which are associated with various health risks.

Coronary Artery Calcium Scan: A Tool for Assessing Heart Attack Risk

Coronary Artery Calcium Scan: A Tool for Assessing Heart Attack Risk

A coronary artery calcium (CAC) scan is gaining attention as a diagnostic tool for assessing heart health. This scan, essentially an X-ray for the heart, helps detect calcium deposits in coronary arteries, which are indicative of atherosclerosis and an increased risk of heart attack or stroke. Despite its potential benefits, many people remain unaware of the CAC scan. Cardiologists like Dr. Blair Suter from The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and Dr. Christopher Berg from MemorialCare Heart and Vascular Institute emphasize its utility, particularly for individuals whose risk of coronary disease isn't well captured by traditional metrics. The scan is not typically the first test ordered; it is often used when cholesterol and basic tests do not provide a clear risk assessment, especially in patients with a strong family history of heart disease.

Congo Considers Alternative Partners if US Minerals Framework Fails

Congo Considers Alternative Partners if US Minerals Framework Fails

The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has indicated it will seek alternative partners if its minerals cooperation framework with the United States does not result in concrete projects. The framework, signed in December, aims to develop a supply chain for critical minerals like cobalt, copper, and lithium, which are essential for data centers, defense, and electric vehicles. However, the DRC's Mines Minister, Louis Watum Kabamba, emphasized that the agreement is still preliminary and that the country is open to exploring partnerships with other nations if necessary.

President Trump Directs Energy Department to Fund Coal Plant Upgrades Amid Energy Emergency

President Trump Directs Energy Department to Fund Coal Plant Upgrades Amid Energy Emergency

President Donald Trump has issued an executive order directing the Energy Department to allocate $175 million to upgrade six coal-fired power plants across Kentucky, North Carolina, Ohio, Virginia, and West Virginia. This move is part of a broader strategy to support the coal industry, which has been declining due to environmental regulations and a shift towards renewable energy sources. Trump has declared an 'energy emergency' to justify keeping these aging plants operational, exempting them from certain air quality regulations. Additionally, the administration has removed tax incentives for wind and solar projects and has been slow in granting permits for renewable energy developments on federal and private lands.

Lumma Stealer Malware Resurfaces, Targeting Windows Users with Social Engineering Tactics

Lumma Stealer Malware Resurfaces, Targeting Windows Users with Social Engineering Tactics

The Lumma Stealer, a notorious infostealer malware, has resurfaced after being previously disrupted by international law enforcement efforts. Initially appearing in Russian-speaking cybercrime forums in 2022, Lumma Stealer operates on a cloud-based malware-as-a-service model, providing infrastructure for cybercriminals to host lure sites and command-and-control channels. Despite a significant takedown in 2025 that seized thousands of domains, the malware has made a comeback, leveraging a social engineering tactic known as 'ClickFix'. This method involves fake CAPTCHAs that trick users into executing malicious commands on their systems, leading to the installation of Lumma. The malware primarily targets Windows users, although similar tactics have been used against macOS users.

Tennessee Valley Authority Reverses Decision to Close Coal-Fired Plants Amid Rising Power Demand

Tennessee Valley Authority Reverses Decision to Close Coal-Fired Plants Amid Rising Power Demand

The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), the largest public utility in the United States, has announced a reversal in its previous decision to close two coal-fired power plants in Tennessee. The Kingston Fossil Plant and Cumberland Fossil Plant were initially slated for closure as part of TVA's plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2035. However, due to regulatory changes and increasing electricity demand, particularly from data centers supporting artificial intelligence, TVA has decided to keep these plants operational. This decision comes ahead of a board meeting where the majority of members were appointed during President Trump's administration, which has been supportive of the coal industry. TVA's new proposal includes maintaining coal, gas, and battery operations while dropping plans for solar energy at the Kingston site.

TikTok's Data Tracking Raises Privacy Concerns for Non-Users

TikTok is facing allegations of tracking individuals who are not even users of the platform. According to reports, TikTok has been using embedded pixels in emails, web pages, and digital ads to collect data from various websites, including sensitive information such as disease diagnoses and mental health issues. This data collection has been facilitated by a new advertising system implemented after the platform's ownership changed to a consortium including Oracle and Silver Lake. Despite TikTok's claims that their tracking tools are industry standard, privacy advocates have raised concerns about the invasive nature of these practices.

Gene-Editing Studies Explore Potential to Address High Cholesterol in Heart Disease Prevention

Gene-Editing Studies Explore Potential to Address High Cholesterol in Heart Disease Prevention

Researchers are investigating a novel gene-editing treatment aimed at providing a one-time solution for high cholesterol, a major contributor to heart disease. This early-stage research involves using CRISPR technology to deactivate specific genes that influence cholesterol levels. In recent studies, participants received infusions carrying the CRISPR tool to the liver, targeting the ANGPTL3 gene. Results showed a significant reduction in LDL cholesterol and triglycerides. The studies, conducted by companies like CRISPR Therapeutics and Verve Therapeutics, are still in preliminary phases, with further research needed to assess long-term safety and efficacy.

Anguilla Achieves Record Visitor Arrivals, Surpassing Pre-Pandemic Levels

The Anguilla Tourist Board announced that Anguilla reached its highest annual visitor arrivals in 33 years, with 229,734 visitors in 2025. This marks an 11.2% increase over 2024 and a 38.1% rise compared to the pre-pandemic year of 2019.
