Indiana University Fraternity Members Charged in Hazardous Hazing Case

Seven Phi Kappa Psi members at Indiana University have been charged with two counts of hazing after an October incident that allegedly forced pledges to perform hours of push-ups, leg lifts, and squats before an ice bath; two pledges were hospitalized with suspected rhabdomyolysis. The chapter president, Arjunkumar Patel, also faces obstruction of justice in addition to hazing charges, and several other leaders were charged as part of the New Member Committee. IU says the allegations conflict with university values and the fraternity remains on cease-and-desist.

Calcium Gate Leak Behind Statin-Related Muscle Pain, Study Finds

A new study links statin-associated muscle symptoms (SAMS) to calcium leaking into muscle cells via the RyR1 channel when statins bind to it, a finding observed in mice using cryo-EM. This mechanism explains why about 10% of statin users experience muscle pain and suggests two potential remedies: redesign statins to avoid RyR1 binding or use Rycal drugs to close the calcium gates and prevent muscle weakness.

Doctors have reported an increase in respiratory illnesses, including cases of influenza and COVID-19, during the holiday season. Some COVID-19 screen tests initially showed negative results but were later found to be positive upon repeat testing. The timing of the tests may have been too early to detect the virus. There has been a rise in upper and lower respiratory tract infections in the past four to six weeks, with a few cases requiring hospitalization. The public is advised to be cautious around individuals exhibiting symptoms of respiratory infections. Additionally, there has been an increase in cases of heat stroke and rhabdomyolysis, leading to severe respiratory symptoms in elderly patients.
