IDAHO — If you've ever been to Wallowa Lake in eastern Oregon, you may have seen some seemingly tame deer. That has a lot to do with the fact that people are feeding them. But biologists in Idaho say feeding wild animals is a bad idea.Normally wild animals like deer are wary of humans, so why was a mule deer in the middle of McCall, Idaho, and why did it approach a KIVI reporter when he was pointing a camera at it? Darrel Meints, Idaho Fish and Game's deer and elk coordinator, thinks he knows."I'm guessing that deer has been fed based on its behavior,” Meints said. “I think she's going to see if you're going to throw her a handout."Deer that have been fed become habituated to humans, and what may begin as a seemingly compassionate act — feeding a hungry deer or two — can become a major nuisance for landowners."People will call us and the call will start out 'well, last week there was one or two deer in my yard and I felt a little sorry for them and I threw them a little hay and now there's 10 or 20 or 30 in my backyard, and they're eating all my shrubs and trees,' " said Meints. Getting that close to a deer is an interesting encounter to say the least, but feeding deer can actually increase their odds of dying, especially during winter."Mule deer don't do well eating alfalfa. They're browsers. They eat woody shrubs and trees and things of that nature. So, you can make them sick and they don't do well," Meints said.People who feed wildlife in high traffic areas like McCall, Idaho, greatly increase their likelihood of being hit by a car, which could kill the animal and cause thousands of dollars in damage. But that's not the only hazard habituated animals bring to humans and their pets. "When you have large numbers of animals like that, you will draw in predators like mountain lions or coyotes of that nature," said Meints.As tempting as it may be, these are just some of the many reasons biologists say, with the possible exception of song birds, feeding wild animals is a bad idea."Oftentimes people think they're doing the right thing and helping wildlife, but over the long run they're not. In fact, they could be doing more damage than good,” said Meints.During severe winters, fish and game departments perform emergency feeding operations, providing starving animals with the proper nutrition. 2378

Flu season is upon us, and this year public health leaders predict it could be severe. The best way to protect yourself is to get vaccinated, says the CDC. However, the flu shot effectiveness has been a question in previous years. Now, a group of a researchers are working on a vaccine that works better and longer. For the last five and a half years, Amy Aspelund has literally been living with the flu virus. She’s part of a group of researchers at Vivaldi Biosciences’ laboratory who are growing the flu virus and then killing it. Their search for a universal flu vaccine has already shown increased protection in ferrets."So, this is a very promising technology,” says Aspelund. “We just have to get it into humans; find out if that translates into people."According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, getting the flu shot reduces the risk of illness by 40 to 60 percent. However, that's only when scientist accurately predict which strains will affect people most. Over the last 15 flu seasons, it's only been a good match on average of about 44 percent. Last year about 40 million people got the flu, and the CDC estimates at least 36,000 people died from flu-related illnesses.In 2009, the H1N1 virus caused the first global influenza pandemic in more than 40 years.“Yeah, I think that is a big part of it.” Aspelund says. “The seasonal is certainly an issue and a problem. We have plenty of loss of life and health.”It's why companies like Vivaldi Biosciences, Inc. and more than a dozen others are on the quest for a vaccine with broader protection. And though not everyone thinks a universal vaccine is practical, scientists like Aspelund believe it is, and she hopes it can become a reality within the next five years. 1757

GAITHERSBURG, Md. -- Under the fluorescent lights, inside a series of labs, researchers believe they may have cracked the code to create a vaccine for the new coronavirus, which has officially named COVID-19.“It’s rapidly evolving,” said Dr. Gregory Glenn, president of research and development at the Maryland-based company Novavax. “As a company, we are very invested in looking at how to protect people against infectious diseases.”Novavax is one of several pharmaceutical companies around the world, racing to develop a vaccine for the strain of the coronavirus, which recently emerged in Wuhan, China.“We have to puzzle-solve with vaccines,” Dr. Glenn said. “We think about: what do we want to have the immune response to target? Because that should block the infection and stop the illness and that’s the goal here.”He showed a three-dimensional computerized depiction of what the virus looks like.“The coronavirus – corona being ‘crown’ – has spikes,” he said. “Those spikes have a very important function. They let the virus bind to the human cell and then those spikes act as a syringe to inject genetic material into the human cell.”A vaccine would potentially stop that process, thereby protecting a person from the coronavirus.“We have the gene, we have the vaccine, we’re going to move it into animal testing shortly,” Dr. Glenn said. “Our goal is in late spring to be testing in humans.”It normally takes about 18 months to get human trials started on a vaccine. This shorter time frame is nothing new for the company; they developed an Ebola vaccine within 90 days ready for testing – but there’s a catch.It can take years for a vaccine to get approved, but under dire circumstances sometimes they can be used through something called “expanded access” or “compassionate use” – meaning, the vaccine can be used in humans, before it’s fully licensed.“That happened with Ebola – they didn’t have a licensed vaccine, but they were able to use it under ‘compassionate use,’ they developed evidence that it was working,” Dr. Glenn said.As for a fully approved coronavirus vaccine, experts say that would take longer.“A vaccine in a year would be record-setting time, but not in time to probably have much impact for this disease outbreak,” said Dr. Eric Toner with the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security.However, if the coronavirus sticks around or comes back stronger in a second wave of the disease, Dr. Glenn said they want to be ready.“We know time is of the essence here,” he said.So far, approximately 73,000 people have been infected and more than 1,800 people have died from the most recent strain of the coronavirus. 2653

Four physicians -- experts in pediatrics, infectious diseases and health policy -- have a message for White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders: Contrary to what she says, it's not clear that the federal government is doing everything it can to care for children crossing the border.And they'd like to help her understand what the government could do better so more children don't die.When asked Friday about the recent deaths of two migrant children in US custody, Sanders told reporters that it was "an absolutely tragic situation" and that "we are doing everything in our capacity to make sure that when people do come, that they're taken care of so we don't have these types of instances."But the physicians say there are steps the government needs to take before Sanders can truthfully say officials are doing "everything in our capacity" to make sure children don't die."In her mind, she may think they're doing everything possible, but we can tell you, you're not doing everything," said Dr. Colleen Kraft, president of the American Academy of Pediatrics. "Look at the facts. The record shows us that more needs to be done."Dr. Buddy Creech, a pediatric infectious disease specialist, said authorities need to do thorough reviews of the children's deaths before declaring that everything possible is being done to prevent more deaths."In hospitals, when someone has a tragic event, a near miss, a drug error, we don't lead with 'we're doing everything we can.' It's ideal to lead with 'let's make ourselves open to self-criticism to make sure that we're taking care of the people who come to us for help,' " said Creech, associate professor of pediatrics at Vanderbilt University Medical Center."The real tragedy would be to say we're doing everything we can when we're not," he added.Internal reviews of the children's deaths are being conducted within the US Department of Homeland Security.Here are three things the physicians say the government could be doing better.Triage children more effectivelyOver the past several years, the United States has seen a large influx of children coming across the border.Before about 2013, about 90% of migrants apprehended at the border were adult men. In contrast, last month, 59% of apprehended migrants were families or unaccompanied minors, according to the Department of Homeland Security.That means about 1,400 to 1,500 unaccompanied minors or family members are apprehended every day, according to the agency."This has created enormous strain on our resources as we tackle the issue of how to deal with large numbers of kids," said Andrew Meehan, US Customs and Border Protection's assistant commissioner for public affairs.There's also been an uptick in the number of apprehended migrants who are ill, Homeland Security officials said at a briefing last week. They said border officers transport dozens of apprehended migrants to hospitals every day."We are doing all we can to handle this flood as humanely and professionally as possible," an official said.Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen has asked the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to look into the causes of the migrants' illnesses. She also said that children will receive a "more thorough hands-on assessment" as soon as possible after they're apprehended and that the US Department of Defense has been asked to provide additional medical professionals.Taking care of children -- especially such a large number of children -- requires special training and expertise, said Kraft, president of the pediatricians' group."Children are not just little adults; they have a whole physiology all their own," Kraft said.For example, she points out that children, much more than adults, can look fine but actually be quite ill."A child can be running around and playing while their little systems are breaking down," she said. "When they triage these children and they don't have that pediatric oversight and expertise, they're going to miss kids who don't look like they're ill when they really are."Kraft said she was pleased that on Wednesday, Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Kevin McAleenan reached out to her to ask whether the American Academy of Pediatrics could become involved in giving 4249

Federal prosecutors have charged a man in connection with the death of Mac Miller, who was found dead after a drug overdose in September 2018.According to a press release from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, a federal criminal complaint unsealed Wednesday alleges that Cameron James Pettit supplied the late hip-hop artist, whose real name is Malcolm James McCormick, with counterfeit oxycodone pills containing fentanyl.Fentanyl has been increasingly tied to overdose deaths in recent years, 515
