Experts Fear a Shortage of Forensic Pathologists Will Leave Deaths Unexplained
Makeshift morgues were necessary back in 2020, when COVID-19 lacked a vaccine and was killing so many people that hospitals and funeral homes couldn’t keep up. But two years later, they were still in use in Baltimore—for a different reason. In February, according to news stories at the time, at least 200 bodies from the medical examiner’s office sat in refrigerated truck trailers parked inside a parking garage for weeks. There was simply nowhere else to put them—because of a shortage of forensic pathologists.

How Bladder Cancer Differs in Women and Younger Adults
Bladder cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed forms of cancer in the U.S. About 1 in 40 Americans born today will develop this cancer at some point in their lifetime, and a majority of these people will be males over the age of 60. Bladder cancer is the fourth most common cancer in American men, representing more than 6% of all cancers in males.
But while men are three to four times more likely than women to develop bladder cancer, the disease tends to be deadlier in females. Women are also more likely to be diagnosed with larger bladder tumors. Why? These are questions that medical researchers have puzzled over for...
