Disgruntled Republican lawmakers who last month pummeled the University of Iowa College of Dentistry with questions about its treatment of a conservative student leveled more questions and criticism Tuesday at UI officials.
“I believe you have a systemic problem that needs to be addressed,” Rep. Steve Holt, R-Denison, told UI Dental College Dean David Johnsen, Provost Kevin Kregel and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Executive Officer Liz Tovar at a government oversight committee hearing.
“Since your last appearance before this committee, I’ve received numerous pieces of correspondence, some from students, who want to share their own horror story about the cancel culture they’re experiencing at your school and what they see as the faculty and staff’s participation in it,” Holt said. “I’ve also received letters from dentists disgusted that politics have been interjected into the school.”
Researchers say static electromagnetic fields (EMFs) could be a non-invasive and safe way of managing blood glucose in diabetes.
By exposing diabetic mice to a combination of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) for a relatively short period, the animal models’ blood glucose has been reduced and bodies’ response to insulin normalized, according to Calvin Carter, Ph. D., one of the study’s lead authors and a post-doctoral candidate of the UI Carver College of Medicine, Division of Medical Genetics and Genomics.
Because of this unexpected and surprising discovery about EMFs, treatment modalities for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) can be revolutionized, especially for patients who find current treatment guidelines arduous, paving the way for significant diabetes care implications and management.
Fewer Iowans are getting tested for COVID-19, and that’s making public health officials nervous.
“Anytime you don’t know your status, you could certainly be spreading the virus unknowingly,” said Liz Highland, an advanced registered nurse practitioner at the clinic that manages the bulk of the University of Iowa’s COVID-19 testing. “That’s the biggest risk that people who have COVID are still out in the public and spreading it.”
Over the last month, Dec. 21 through Wednesday, the median number of people tested each day in Iowa was 4,148, down 26 percent from the previous month’s daily median of 5,638 people tested, according to Gazette calculations based on the state’s COVID-19 dashboard.
