My mentor was dying and I had no idea what to say. It was Spring 2018 and John Pettegrew, Lehigh University's chair of history and my dissertation adviser, had just received a call from his doctor. We were meeting to discuss my dissertation proposal; I'd completed my coursework years earlier with a 3.8 GPA and had done well on my exams. Every previous conversation I'd had with Pettegrew had been stimulating and enthusiastic on both ends. Because he was kind, he reiterated how much he believed in my proposed topic and, knowing that I'm autistic, made a point of understanding neurodiversity. I had switched advisers precisely because our minds were simpatico. Yet in this meeting, for the first time ever, I began to wonder if Pettegrew's cancer diagnosis might thwart that fate. He asked that I leave the room so he could take his personal call. I did so, of course, but I could tell as soon as I returned that the news had not been good. All of the energy seemed drained ...

Jun 4, 2021 Associated Press NEW YORK -- Phil Nevin's voice cracked and his face flushed. Forced from the New York Yankees third-base coaching box by the coronavirus and infections, he also had to miss his son's major league debut. "We had talked about that day for a long time," Nevin said Friday when he rejoined the Yankees for the first time since May 9. "Not to be able to see him right after the game, now that part, that gets you a little bit, because we've talked about it for so long. I told my other son, l go: 'I can still get this day back. No pressure.'" Nevin, who also suffers from asthma, said he lost 22 pounds and was diagnosed with a bacterial infection in his kidneys and a staph infection.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced the approval of a once-daily atypical antipsychotic drug, Lybalvi (olanzapine and samidorphan), to treat adults with schizophrenia and adults with bipolar I disorder. According to its manufacturer, Alkermes, the combination of olanzapine and samidorphan causes significantly less weight gain than traditional Zyprexa (olanzapine), one of the most widely prescribed antipsychotic drugs for treating schizophrenia and bipolar I disorder. "The weight gain on olanzapine has limited its use in patients, due to reluctance of healthcare providers to prescribe it and as a result of patients discontinuing the medication.

Kahn, MD, PhD, who is a professor and chair of the department of psychiatry and behavioral health system at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City. Dr. Kahn was one of the researchers ...
