The FDA eliminates an enduring caution from hormone-based menopause drugs


WASHINGTON (AP) - Hormone-based drugs used to deal with hot flashes and other menopause signs will no longer bring a bold caution label about stroke, heart attack, dementia and other serious dangers, the Fda revealed Monday.


U.S. health officials said they will eliminate the boxed warning from more than 20 pills, patches and creams containing hormones like estrogen and progestin, which are authorized to relieve disruptive signs like night sweats.

"We ´ re challenging out-of-date thinking and recommitting to evidence-based medicine that empowers rather than limits," Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said in introducing the update.

MLB, sportsbooks cap bets on private pitches in reaction to pitch rigging scandal


Big league Baseball stated its licensed video gaming operators will top bets on individual pitches at $200 and omit them from parlays, a day after two Cleveland Guardians were prosecuted and accused of rigging pitches at the behest of bettors.


MLB stated Monday the limits were consented to by sportsbook operators representing more than 98% of the U.S. wagering market. The league said in a declaration that pitch-level bets on outcomes of pitch velocity and of balls and strikes "present heightened stability dangers because they concentrate on one-off occasions that can be determined by a single gamer and can be inconsequential to the outcome of the video game."


"The danger on these pitch-level markets will be significantly mitigated by this new action targeted at the incentive to engage in misbehavior," the league stated. "The creation of a strict bet limit on this type of bet, and the ban on parlaying them, decreases the payment for these markets and the ability to prevent the new limitation."


MLB said the agreement included Bally ´ s, Bet365, BetMGM, Bet99, Betr, Caesars, Circa, DraftKings, 888, FanDuel, Gamewise, Hard Rock, Intralot, Jack Entertainment, Mojo, Northstar Gaming, Oaklawn, Penn, Pointsbet, Potawatomi, Rush Steet and Underdog.


Cleveland pitchers Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz were arraigned Sunday in U.S. District Court in Brooklyn on charges they took kickbacks from sports wagerers to toss certain types of pitches. They were charged with wire scams conspiracy, truthful services wire scams conspiracy, conspiracy to affect sporting contests by bribery and money laundering conspiracy. The indictment says they helped two unnamed bettors in the Dominican Republic win a minimum of $460,000 on bets put on the speed and result of specific pitches, including some that landed in the dirt.
