The researchers now wonder if the link could lead to a way to detect pancreatic cancer earlier when it’s at a more treatable stage. Finding and treating the cancer sooner could improve outcomes for the estimated 62,210 people who are diagnosed with it each year. The early findings from the study were presented in May during the 2022 Digestive Disease Week conference in San Diego. What the Researchers Found The researchers used data from the SEER-Medicare database—which links cancer data from the National Cancer Institute with Medicare data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services—from 2008 to 2015....

By the end of Game 6 between the Blackhawks and Ducks, a 5-2 Chicago win, one of those facts had been undone. Another had been challenged. A third had been reinforced. MORE: Must-see photos from the series | NHL video | Game 7 times It all, in one way or another, circled back to Duncan Keith, the Blackhawks’ sublime, physiology-defying, Norris Trophy-winning defenseman. “I don’t think I really have to mention how important he is,” Blackhawks goalie Corey Crawford said, before doing just that....

Minshew garnered 12 and eight starts for the Jaguars in 2019 and ‘20, respectively, compiling an overall record of 7-13 (which helps explain why Jacksonville picked Trevor Lawrence No. 1 overall in the 2021 NFL Draft). For his career, Minshew has completed 62.9 percent of his passes for 5,530 yards and 37 touchdowns to 11 interceptions. Why then, would the Jaguars move him? Even if new coach Urban Meyer is all in on Lawrence as his starter, Minshew could have been a backup with valuable starting experience if called into action in a pinch....

In the second half against VCU on Friday, Payton took a low pass from under the rim and slammed it home. MORE: VCU-Oregon State box score | Interactive bracket Just look how long he hung in the air. A few minutes later, he took one to the hoop all by himself. Even if the Beavers don’t beat VCU, we’ll be seeing Payton II again during One Shining Moment. Book it....

Gas prices are up 42 cents a gallon from this time last year, fueled by lingering shortages since OPEC cut production last year. The bad news is that those higher fuel costs aren’t likely to thin the crowds at vacation hot spots. Despite the popularity of gas-hungry sport utility vehicles, the average family vehicle sold this year gets 24.7 miles per gallon, which means the higher fuel costs add just $17 to the cost of a 1,000-mile road trip....

Colonial Pipeline restarted operations on Wednesday evening, days after it was forced to shut down due to a ransomware attack. But the company said it will take “several days” for deliveries to return to normal. The Georgia-based company’s pipeline runs from the Gulf Coast to the New York metropolitan region, and delivers about 45 percent of the fuel consumed on the East Coast. The disruption has drained supplies at thousands of gas stations across at least a dozen states plus Washington, D....

A Shell gas station in Rancho Cordova lost $16,000, according to KGO-TV, after John Szczecina, who worked as a manager for a Shell gas station in the city, mistakenly put a decimal point in the wrong place, and ended up charging 69 cents a gallon of premium, instead of $6.99 a gallon. “I put all three prices on there, except the diesel. The last one kind of didn’t go. So, I just took responsibility for it and said yeah, it’s my fault, and I’m to blame,” Szczecina told ABC News Fresno station KFSN....

Williams’ road to greatness has been nto without speed bumps. In days leading up to the U.S. Open, much was made about the significant difference in her sponsorship earnings and that of Maria Sharapova. Williams is undeniably the best women’s tennis player on the planet and perhaps the greatest of all tome, yet she makes nearly $10 million less than Sharapova, who Williams has dominated in almost all of their meetings....

Newsom was on a trip to promote small businesses. As he walked to Beastmode Barbershop and Graffiti Pizza, he was “approached by an aggressive individual,” Fran Clader, communications director for the California Highway Patrol (CHP), said in a statement. “Members of the Governor’s security detail removed the Governor from the situation and the individual was arrested by CHP officers,” she continued. Newsom did not appear to be injured, and reporters did not see exactly what happened, according to the East Bay Times....

According to an analysis by veteran lobbyist Chris Micheli, who has tracked gubernatorial vetoes for years, this is the highest percentage of bills passed during Newsom’s three years in office. Newsom, who spent the summer fighting to keep his job, recently signed laws that require gender-neutral displays of children’s toys and toothbrushes in department stores, made it illegal to remove a condom without consent during intercourse and made it illegal to film someone near an abortion clinic for the sake of intimidation....

The campaign for a recall election, called Rescue California, was organized by some constituents in the state who were unhappy with Newsom’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic. Former GOP gubernatorial candidate John Cox, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee are among the conservative figures that have endorsed the effort. The California Republican Party has also publicly backed the campaign. Prov 3:9, LLC, a consulting firm based in Irvine, donated $500,000 to the committee, according to a late contribution report....

Jenner, who had reportedly been considering a challenge to Newsom, formally announced her decision to run on Friday morning. “I’m in! California is worth fighting for,” the prominent transgender celebrity tweeted. She shared a lengthier statement criticizing Newsom’s response to the coronavirus pandemic and asserted that “taxes are too high” in the West Coast state. In response to Jenner’s announcement, Randy Economy, a senior adviser to the Newsom recall campaign, tweeted about the group’s excitement....

With my smiling eye I was transported by the sheer natural exuberance of one of the largest waterfalls on earth. Seeing one great waterfall is wonderful. Seeing 275 waterfalls (who counts these things?) linked together is much more than wonderful. Iguaçu’s hundreds of adjacent waterfalls have an effect that is both numbing and exhilarating. Some of the falls are massive and frighteningly powerful while others are almost delicate and meandering as they take their time to fall from pool to pool and then down into the mist....

The 27-year-old model, who has more than 520,000 followers on TikTok and a further 57,000 on Instagram, has been documenting her health struggles in a series of social media posts since going public with her diagnosis in March. In one video clip, which was shared on June 11 and has been viewed more than 12 million times, the social media star showed herself struggling to get up from her bed as her weight plummeted and muscle atrophy weakened her legs....

Each pack contains 365 pills made up of 90 micrograms of levonorgestrel and 20 micrograms of Ethinylestradiol. Lybrel was approved for use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on May 22, 2007. Lybrel was neither taken off the market for safety reasons nor recalled by the FDA. The decision to discontinue was purely a financial one driven by the flood of generic licenses submitted to the FDA....

But like all genes, it could be identified with simple tests–which would likely bring about a major shift from ameliorative to preventive treatment. DeCODE is working on a test that may come out as early as next year. CEO Kari Stefansson hopes it will someday be part of a set of 20 or 30 genetic tests that doctors will run to determine disease risk. “It sounds a bit Orwellian to think of it that way,” he says, “but it’s no different than running cholesterol tests now to see whether you’ll get heart disease....

The lawyer, whose wife is counselor to the president Kellyanne Conway, was referring to Trump responding to a reporter with, “What?” and offering no insights when asked about U.S. conversations with North Korea in Sweden. George Conway quote tweeted Voice of America’s Seoul bureau chief William Gallo’s tweet stating, “Trump not saying much on the working-level talks with North Korea,” and commented, “Trump not saying much (because) he doesn’t know much....

“This testimony, from two witnesses to the July 25 call, is absolutely devastating. That call was absolutely “perfect,” all right—perfectly impeachable. And criminal,” Conway wrote on Twitter. Conway’s comment came during the third day of public impeachment hearings on Capitol Hill, which featured testimony from Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, the top Ukraine specialist on the National Security Council and Jennifer Williams, a foreign service aide to Vice President Mike Pence....

“For the record: No one ever told me of these complaints being made to the Lincoln project, and the first I ever heard that Weaver may have done anything questionable were rumors I heard well after the election, and long after I ceased active involvement with the organization,” Conway, an attorney, wrote in one tweet replying to a recent report from the Associated Press. “But I am disappointed in the handling of Weaver, if this report is accurate, and hope it does not detract from the fine work that so many people did on behalf of the Lincoln Project to help rid the country of the scourge of Donald Trump,” Conway wrote in another tweet....
