Researchers were in a unique position to study this phenomenon, since they had already been following students a year before the pandemic was officially declared in the U.S. When March 2020 forced people indoors, they saw a near-doubling of depression scores—from 32% to 61%. Looking a little closer, they found that those most vulnerable for developing depression had not maintained previous physical activity levels. “Before the pandemic, people were walking about 10,000 steps per day, which is the recommended guideline,” Silvia Saccardo, PhD, study author and professor in the department of social and decision sciences at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, tells Verywell....

The Republican-majority state finalized its redistricting process last week, which happens every decade. However, it drew major criticism for the way it divided majority-Democratic cities so that the number of Republican-voting districts could increase. This type of supercharged gerrymandering is said by experts to be the result of fewer legal restraints and higher political stakes. “In the absence of reforms, the gerrymandering in general has gotten even worse than 2010,” said Chris Warshaw, who analyzed redistricting maps across the United States for decades as a political scientist at George Washington University....

If it is determined to be an attack, experts warn it would open the way for retaliation, including in the physical realm. But defining exactly what constitutes an attack in cyberspace, even in the 21st century, remains a murky issue.

The liver, adrenal glands, and bone are also common sites of metastasis. Unlike non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), which is divided into four main stages and several substages, extensive-stage is one of only two stages of SCLC (the other being limited stage).
