Derrick Rose Unlikely to Return from Injury During 2013 Playoffs

If the Chicago Bulls were hoping for good news prior to the start of their first-round playoff matchup against the Brooklyn Nets, they certainly didn't get it. 
According to ESPN Chicago's Nick Friedell, Bulls head coach Tom Thibodeau says that Rose won't play in Game 1 against Brooklyn and is likely out for the remainder of the 2013 NBA playoffs.
While the news may not be surprising to the Bulls, there was a glimmer of hope that Rose would be back at some point during the postseason to help Chicago make a run at a seventh NBA championship. Instead, Chicago will be up against Deron Williams and the Nets without the 2011 MVP point guard.

Rose, who has been battling back from a left ACL injury, hasn't played in an NBA game since injuring that left knee against the Philadelphia 76ers on April 28 in the first round of last year's NBA playoffs.
 Without the star point guard, Chicago will go with Kirk Hinrich at the point, which doesn't present a favorable matchup against a point guard like Deron Williams. The now-10-year veteran is averaging a respectable seven points and five assists per game this year, but his numbers don't compare to Williams' nearly 19 points and seven assists per contest.
 With Rose out and Joakim Noah dealing with a foot injury (mentioned in Friedell's Rose article), the Bulls certainly have their work cut out for them against a Nets team that ranked sixth in the NBA during the regular season in points allowed.

  The New Twist in the Tale: A Look at the Emerging Coronavirus Variant in the USA The coronavirus, ever the shape-shifter, has thrown another curveball in the USA with the emergence of a new variant. As whispers ripple through news feeds and anxieties swirl on social media, let's take a deep dive into this new player on the scene, addressing all aspects to stay informed and navigate this evolving situation.

These mutations might confer advantages like: Increased transmissibility: The variant may spread more easily, potentially leading to a rise in case numbers. Immune evasion: It could potentially bypass some of the immunity built through vaccination or previous infections.

HIV and Infant Feeding

HIV through mother-to-child transmission breastfeeding     The Facts  Without preventive interventions, approximately one-third of infants born to HIV-positive mothers contract HIV through mother-to-child transmission, becoming infected during their mothers' pregnancy, childbirth or breastfeeding. In 2001, 800,000 children under the age of 15 contracted HIV, over 90 per cent of them through mother-to-child transmission of HIV (MTCT). Between 15 and 25% of children born to HIV-infected mothers get infected with HIV during pregnancy or delivery, while about 15% of the children get infected through breastfeeding. Factors that may decrease the risk of HIV transmission through breastfeeding include:  Shorter duration of breastfeeding. The longer a child is breastfed by an HIV-positive mother the higher the risk of HIV infection. Brea...
