As a young Black man forging a career in finance, Kenny Haywood is starting in an industry criticized for its policies and a corporate structure that has few Black employees in positions of power. It was good news.  Kenny Haywood, a senior at the University of California, Los Angeles trying to land his first full-time job in finance, was referred by a friend to an insurance company interested in recruiting from his university. After a phone call and a quick exchange of emails, Haywood lined up an interview. "Obviously, I still have to sell myself,'' Haywood, 21, says. But after months of sending out emails to potential employers and hearing little back, the insurance company's swift response gave Haywood a much-needed burst of encouragement. "This is a cool 'Hang in there,'"   Haywood recalls thinking. Haywood, who's been interested in business since middle school,&a...

A black eye is when there is bruising of the tissue under the skin around the eye. In most cases, the injury affects the face rather than the eye itself. It is called a black eye because of the bluish-dark color of the bruising in the tissue around the eye. This happens because the capillaries, or tiny blood vessels, have burst and leaked blood under the skin. Another name for a black eye is a "shiner." The medical name is a periorbital hematoma. As fluids collect in the space around the eye, bruising, swelling, and puffiness result. This can make it difficult to open the eye. Vision may blur temporarily. There may be pain around the eye, and possibly a headache. Any bleeding inside the eye also needs medical care, as there could be eye damage that could lead to vision problems. Share on Pinterest Fighting, falls, and road traffic accidents are common causes of a black eye. A black eye can happen when something strikes a person on the face. This could be a ball, a fist, a doo...

Still, STAAR's shares dropped nearly 10% more than the indexes.

Investors may be concerned about signs that consumers are tightening their belts on discretionary spending. Align Technology CEO Joe...

Hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP), also known as nosocomial pneumonia, is a lower respiratory bacterial infection that occurs 48 hours or more after hospital admission and does not appear due to intubation at the time of admission. People experience a host of symptoms ranging from fever and chills to shortness of breath and chest pain and are at higher risk of developing severe complications and even death. Infections are also much more likely in older adults and those who have poor health or are immunocompromised. This article discusses the symptoms, causes, diagnosis, and treatment of hospital-acquired pneumonia.

Lung cancer is the most common type of cancer in men and women around the world, with an estimated 228,820 new cases diagnosed in the U.S. each year. About 85% of lung cancer cases are caused by smoking. Smoking cannabis, air pollution, exposure to toxins (e.g., asbestos, radon) and second-hand smoke can also lead to lung cancer. Symptoms of lung cancer may include cough, chest pain, fatigue, hoarse voice, trouble breathing, weight loss, and wheezing. Many individuals with lung cancer do not show any symptoms until the cancer has spread ( metastasized ) into other parts of the body.  Tumors located in the lungs can be detected through the use of imaging scans (e.g., chest X-rays, CT scan) and a diagnosis can be confirmed through a biopsy. Treatment options vary depending on the type and stage of the disease and may include chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, or a combination. This article discusses the stages of cancer, the ways in which cancer progr...

TOKYO and PALO ALTO, Calif., April 26, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NEC Corporation, a leader in IT and network technologies, and NEC X, the innovation accelerator for NEC's emerging technologies, announced today that Beagle Technology is the fifth startup to graduate from the NEC X Corporate Accelerator Program (CAP). Beagle Technology has developed unique computer vision and robot control technologies, supported by NEC technology researchers, to automate pruning and shoot thinning of wine grapevines. The machine detects the height and depth of vines using computer vision. It then adjusts, locates clippers, and cuts vines at precise locations. This patent-pending solution replaces manual operation, provides improved accuracy and speed, and reduces cost by about 25% for pruning and 70% for shoot thinning. "Beagle Technology implemented an AI solution in an effort to address the decreasing labor force in the agriculture industry," said S...
