On June 26, 2024, ex-Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández was sentenced to 45 years in prison and an $8 million fine by a US federal court in Manhattan for drug trafficking charges.

The judge specified that Hernández had accepted millions in bribes from drug traffickers starting in 2004, helping smuggle over 400 tons of cocaine from Colombia and Venezuela through Honduras to the US, with an estimated value of $10 billion. Despite the possibility of appealing the ruling, given his age of 55, Hernández might spend the rest of his life in prison.

Struggling to get rid of Helicobacter pylori? Those familiar with the 'triple therapy' for H. pylori infections may find it less effective nowadays due to bacterial resistance. However, a new study suggests combining triple therapy with one probiotic bacteria can effectively combat H. pylori. Proton pump inhibitors, clarithromycin, and amoxicillin/metronidazole are typically used in triple therapy to target H. pylori. With the increasing bacterial resistance, the eradication rate of triple therapy has declined over time, making the addition of probiotics a potentially successful treatment method to enhance eradication rates.
