Eight and a half minutes don&#39;t say a word that this would be a record with GNTM. But an unlikely, because Top Model-Richterin Heidi Klum has never managed to say a word for so long in 52 years. Sleep phases included. It is therefore not surprising that &#8220;Germany&#39;s Next Top Model&#8221; is immediately verbatim in Medias Res. The 19th episode of the Pro7 anorexia documentary starts particularly rapidly. After just a few seconds, Modelscout24 CEO Klum explains: &#8220;The new week starts colorful, loud and exciting!&#8221; The film &#8220;Oh Boy&#8221; with Tom Schilling is not shown before, because it is black and white, quiet and to fall asleep.</p>

But back to the topic. Since Klum has also allowed male candidates to &#8220;Harper&#39;s Bazaar&#8221; cover for her absurdity festival, the amorous factor of her annual mannequin assessment center for hardware store opening candidates has been increasing. As an example, the protagonists of the 2025 discount code Armada are currently emerging some potential glamor pairs. Jannik, for example, seems to develop emotional affection for Eva, while the former top favorite Daniela and Ray are caught remarkably often by the random camera teams in intimate togetherness. With the naked eye, GNTM can hardly be distinguished from &#8220;Tempation Island&#8221;.</p>

Only whether Weippert also gave her breasts name is still unclear. The Heidi Klum are officially baptized. Loyal readers of these GNTM specialist analyzes know the correct answer, of course, for everyone else here for loosening up a small multiple-choice task: What are the breasts of Heidi Klum?</p>

Designer Marina Hoermanseder has been reliably placed stable in the top 3 of the shitstorm charts for years. Their often harsh lament is regularly scanned by the cuddly course spoiled television audience in the comment columns. Apparently, the Rosamunde pilcher fan block on the home sofa expects that you have to treat motto-seeking model novels like Robbenbabies. The fact is, however, that if you want to be touched with velvet gloves, you should set a butler. Because if you think that in the real fashion industry, models are verbally packed in cotton wool, which will still long for Marina Hoermanseder&#39;s mob attacks.</p>

Marina Hoermanseder&#39;s first victim becomes zero-goat icon Moritz. His aura always suggests that he mentally linger in the model penthouse, but could give Alice Weidel at any time and storm out of the studio without a mistake. The right attitude for discipline connoisseur Hoermanseder. When she is rumored, Moritz had already completed various fashion Week Runways, she asks him to show a walk. However, the tension-lazy surf boy prefers to chill on the couch landscape: &#8220;Nah, I don&#39;t see!&#8221;</p>

A touch of Uli Hoeneß blows briefly through the GNTM halls. The once rumbled: &#8220;As long as Rummenigge and I have something to say here, Lothar Matthäus will not even become a greenkeeper!&#8221;</p>

The Austrian Grantler duo Hoermanseder &#038; Anwander is complete. Because even the hiker highly engraved by Klum to star photographer is one of the more verbal robust guest jurors of the GNTM family not poor on communication geniuses. His judgment about the almost naked candidate Zoe Saip remains legendary on a truck on a truck: &#8220;If I imagine that I would have to shoot with you for a whole day, I can give myself the ball right away!&#8221; Double unpleasant for Zoe, which was already humiliated with a Dieter Bohlen memory hairstyle during the change.</p>

For Hoermanseder as unusual as for residents, sentences without subtle insults. He then reveals the secret of the colorless outfits: &#8220;We will be Marina&#39;s beautiful clothes with color!&#8221; Naturally. The many tutoring lessons were worth it with Thomas Hayo. The thoughts are made in the form of color. In a mixture of paintball and knife throw on the candidates, strapped on a circular platform, KLUM personally fires this until surreal works of art, all of which look a little like the plate of my 17 -month -old son if he wants to eat without help.</p>

Josy chooses blue. Color blocker Klum is too unconcrete: &#8220;Which blue? Rather baby blue or goblin blue?&#8221; Who doesn&#39;t know it: Kobold-Blau?

But not that of Canel, because it wrote down in mind: &#8220;My dress had something of Superwoman, I had a long drag!&#8221; A sentence that could only be topped by: &#8220;That had something from Taylor Swift, I had an elephant!&#8221;</p>

It goes less well for Aaliyah. Klum dictates a &#8220;The round was not so good now!&#8221; In the class book. The round was not that good. Aha. At first it doesn&#39;t go so well with the shoot and then Fatshaming. Christian Anwander is also only enthusiastic: &#8220;You were the worst of all!&#8221;</p>

Ex-half-finalist Betty Taube returns to the GNTM lap and announces a personality-based social media video shoot. Everyone should imagine moving image in 30 seconds. Canel switches the fastest and already has a concept of a concept in its sleeves: &#8220;You have to experience the little things, for example the beautiful sun in Los Angeles!&#8221; Exactly. You don&#39;t need any designer clothing either, something from Louis Vuitton is completely enough!</p>

The candidates are more enthusiastic than Friedrich Merz after the second ballot. Understandable, because said energy drink supposedly gives wings and space for another piano is definitely in the huge penthouse. Casting director Betty Taube at the end chooses Kati and Moritz. Both have been working together at Berlin Fashion Week since their time together. In the meantime, they remind you strikingly of this pensioner couple meme, in which the man always repeats the last three words of the sentence that his wife just said.</p>

Barbie is said to have said that when she became intimate with Ken for the first time. Nawin&#39;s wrapping drama, however, is incomprehensible at Zoe: &#8220;The boys are more divas than the girls.

Klum welcomes the zero-year-IT girl exuberantly, but not at all. Well, it is not booked. Daniela has better chances. The Bonmot Queen still donates a gem of language art today: &#8220;I hope the walk is going well!&#8221; But I have a good feeling from the feeling.

Marina Hoermanseder relentlessly states: &#8220;A Magdalena totally outdated her in the walk!&#8221; Sure, Austrians stick together.</p>

Image Credit: Piyaset / Shutterstock</em></span></p>
  146. <p>In a recent article published in the journal <strong><em>Nature</em></strong>, researchers investigated how global warming is affecting people exposed to unprecedented numbers of extreme climate events such as floods, crop failures, and heatwaves in their lifetimes.</p>
  147. <p>Using demographic data and climate models, they found that if average global temperatures increase by 3.5°C, 92% of those born in 2020 could experience unprecedented heatwave exposure, while 14% may experience river flooding and 29% to crop failures.</p>
  148. <p>Incorporating indicators of socioeconomic vulnerability into their analyses showed that more vulnerable populations will disproportionately bear this burden.</p>
  149. <h2>Background</h2>
  150. <p>As climate change worsens because of human activities, extreme weather events such as heatwaves, floods, and droughts are becoming more frequent, intense, and longer-lasting. These events pose serious risks to human societies, especially for younger generations who will live longer and thus face greater cumulative exposure.</p>
  151. <p>Scientists have documented the increasing intensity and frequency of individual climate extremes. However, there has been limited understanding of how these compound exposures will accumulate over an individual’s lifetime, particularly in comparison to pre-industrial conditions.</p>
  152. <p>Moreover, global climate policies currently place the Earth on a trajectory toward 2.7°C of warming by 2100, further heightening potential risks.</p>
  153. <p><!-- end mobile middle mrec --></p>
  154. <h2>About the Study</h2>
  155. <p>This study aimed to quantify the numbers of people from different birth cohorts projected to experience unprecedented lifetime exposure (ULE) to six types of extreme climate events, and how these exposures vary across various levels of global warming and socioeconomic vulnerability.</p>
  156. <p>Researchers combined outputs from multi-model ensembles of climate and impact simulations with global demographic datasets and socioeconomic indicators to assess future exposure to six climate extremes: heatwaves, crop failures, droughts, river floods, wildfires, and tropical cyclones (exposure defined by hurricane-force winds, excluding flood hazards).</p>
  157. <p>They defined ULE as exposure levels that exceed the 99.99th percentile of what would be expected in a pre-industrial climate (i.e., virtually impossible without climate change).</p>
  158. <p>Exposure was calculated at a 0.5°×0.5° grid-cell resolution, and each person’s cumulative exposure across their lifespan was estimated based on their birth cohort (1960 to 2020) and residence, assuming static demographics and no migration.</p>
  159. <p>Researchers analyzed 21 global warming trajectories ranging from 1.5°C to 3.5°C by 2100. For each scenario, they identified the fraction of a birth cohort experiencing ULE per climate extreme and aggregated results globally and nationally.</p>
  160. <p>The study also stratified exposure outcomes by socioeconomic vulnerability using the Global Gridded Relative Deprivation Index (GRDI) and average lifetime Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita.</p>
  161. <p>This allowed a comparison of projected ULE between populations with high and low vulnerabilities. The modeling framework accounted for internal climate variability and regional differences in extreme event likelihood, helping to isolate the effect of global warming and socioeconomic conditions on cumulative exposure.</p>
  162. <h2>Findings</h2>
  163. <p>The study found that the fraction of people experiencing ULE to climate extremes increases dramatically across younger birth cohorts and higher global warming scenarios. In the case of heatwaves, ULE is projected for 52% of the 2020 birth cohort if global average temperatures increase by 1.5°C, but this rises to 92% under a 3.5°C scenario.</p>
  164. <p>Even the 1960 cohort shows 16% exposure, but newer generations bear a much greater burden. At 3.5°C warming, 29% of those born in 2020 are expected to face ULE to crop failures, and 14% to river floods. Spatially, equatorial regions are hardest hit under lower warming, but the distribution becomes nearly global under higher warming.</p>
  165. <p>The most socioeconomically deprived populations consistently face higher risks: under current policy trajectories, people in the most vulnerable 20% (as measured by GRDI or low GDP) are much more likely to experience ULE than their wealthier counterparts.</p>
  166. <p>While heatwaves showed the highest exposure levels, other extremes like tropical cyclones, though geographically limited to regions prone to hurricane-force winds, still affected millions, particularly when analyses were restricted to at-risk regions.</p>
  167. <p>Overall, the study underscores that continued global warming will expose large and growing fractions of the population to historically extreme conditions, with disproportionate impacts on the world’s most vulnerable. This highlights the moral and practical urgency of limiting warming and supporting adaptation strategies.</p>
  168. <h2>Conclusions</h2>
  169. <p>This study shows that many people, especially children, will face ULE to multiple climate extremes, like heatwaves, floods, droughts, and wildfires, under current warming trajectories.</p>
  170. <p>However, the researchers warned that the findings likely underestimate total risk because they exclude non-local effects such as wildfire smoke crossing borders, adaptation responses, and within-country demographic differences. Vulnerabilities tied to age, gender, and disability are also not fully captured.</p>
  171. <p>Despite uncertainties in modeling some extremes, especially hydrological ones, the grid-based approach (0.5° resolution) used helps estimate localized impacts more accurately.</p>
  172. <p>The research team stressed that urgent action to limit global warming to 1.5°C—a target requiring immediate, deep emissions cuts—instead of 2.7°C could spare hundreds of millions of children from ULE, highlighting the critical importance of strong, sustained emissions reductions to protect future generations.</p>

  220. <p>Dental caries, or tooth decay, is a common oral health condition that often causes significant pain and discomfort and may even lead to tooth loss. In severe and untreated cases, bacterial infection combined with the host&#8217;s immune response can cause bone resorption, or the breakdown of bone tissue in the tooth root. Moreover, traditional treatments for advanced dental caries, such as surgery, can result in bone defects that require complex bone grafting procedures.</p>
  221. <p>Building on this knowledge, bone tissue engineering and dental tissue regeneration have gained the attention of researchers worldwide. Recent reports suggest that microRNAs (miRNAs)-small, non-coding ribonucleic acid sequences-play a key role in bone tissue regeneration. However, the underlying mechanisms and pathways regulated by miRNAs remain unclear.</p>
  222. <p>To investigate the intrinsic processes involved in dental bone repair, a team of researchers led by Associate Professor Nobuyuki Kawashima, graduate student Ziniu Yu, and Professor Takashi Okiji from the Graduate School of Medical and Dental Sciences, Institute of Science Tokyo (Science Tokyo), Japan, conducted a series of innovative experiments using human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) and mice. Their findings were published in Volume 23 and Issue 189 of the <em>Journal of Translational Medicine</em> on February 16, 2025.</p>
  223. <p>&#8220;hDPSCs are a type of mesenchymal stem cell that have the ability to differentiate into either odontoblasts or osteoblasts, key players in dental tissue repair,&#8221; explains Kawashima. &#8220;In our study, we focused on a molecule called miRNA-27a, which we found to exert an anti-inflammatory effect by suppressing the NF-κB pathway but may also promote tissue regeneration by activating Wnt and BMP signaling. By overexpressing miRNA-27a in hDPSCs, we explored how it might guide these cells toward becoming hard tissue-forming cells.&#8221;</p>
  224. <p>Initially, the scientists utilized bioinformatics-based tools to investigate the effects of miRNA-27a overexpression in hDPSCs. They identified dickkopf-related protein 3 (DKK3) and sclerostin domain-containing protein 1 (SOSTDC1) as the primary target genes regulated by miRNA‑27a. In addition to DKK3 and SOSTDC1, other negative regulators of the wingless-type integration site family (Wnt) signaling pathway which play a key role in forming new bone and dental tissue. In addition to these, including axis inhibition protein 2 and adenomatous polyposis coli, were also down-regulated in hDPSCs overexpressing miRNA-27a. This suggests that miRNA-27a helps lift these biological brakes, allowing the cells to turn on bone-forming signals more efficiently.</p>
  225. <p><!-- end mobile middle mrec --></p>
  226. <p>In addition to stimulating the Wnt pathway, miRNA‑27a was found to significantly influence the odonto/osteoblastic differentiation of hDPSCs and activate the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) pathway. Activation of both the Wnt and BMP pathways suggested that hard-tissue-forming cells were promoted through differentiation of hDPSCs.</p>
  227. <p>To validate their findings, the researchers transplanted collagen scaffolds containing miRNA-27a-expressing hDPSCs into the artificial defects introduced on the calvarial bone of mice. Subsequent analyses revealed the formation of new bone-like tissue, which was absent in the control group.</p>
  228. <p>Kawashima concludes by highlighting the therapeutic potential of the research: &#8220;These results suggest that miRNA-27a could play a pivotal role in encouraging bone-like tissue formation. This opens up exciting possibilities for advancing regenerative therapies aimed at repairing dental and craniofacial defects.&#8221;</p>
  229. <p>In summary, this study underscores the significant translational potential of miRNA-27a in promoting dental tissue regeneration.</p>

  262. <div><strong>Poland Prime Minister Donald Tusk has sharply criticized the planned migration policy of the new federal government.</strong> &#8220;Germany will let them go to its area. Whoever it wants. Poland will only let them in his area,&#8221; said Tusk in Warsaw when Chancellor Friedrich Merz (CDU). <strong>Neither the impression should arise nor should the facts be created that some including Germany will send certain groups of migrants to Poland.</strong></div>
  263. <p>Tusk thus plays on what was built in Eisenhüttenstadt near the border with Poland <strong>&#8220;Dublin Center&#8221;, which should ensure faster return of asylum seekers to other EU countries.</strong> There, transfers of migrants are to be organized primarily to Poland.</p>
  264. <div><strong>Poland&#39;s head of government also rejected Merz&#39;s project to tighten border controls.</strong> &#8220;If someone introduces control on the Polish border, Poland will also introduce such control. And that simply makes no sense in the long run.&#8221;</div>
  265. <div>Tusk pointed out that his country would wear a heavy load with the guarding of the EU&#39;s outer border.<strong> The government in Warsaw accuses the regime of the Belarusian ruler Alexandr Lukaschenko, in a targeted form to lock migrants from crisis regions to the eastern border of the EU.</strong> Tusk said that he expects the new federal government to cooperate in securing the external borders.</div>
  266. <div>Merz said Poland support<strong> to protect the EU outer border. &#8220;We find it an obligation to better protect these European external borders with German support and help than we have succeeded in in the past&#8221;, &#8221; </strong>said the CDU politician in Warsaw. He assumes that &#8220;good solutions&#8221; will come on this question. At the same time, Merz urged a common European solution to limit illegal migration.</div>
  267. <p><strong>Against this background, he defended the increased controls at the German borders, but at the same time confessed to the Schengen rules that actually provide open borders within the EU.</strong> Little border traffic is an important factor for jobs and prosperity, and therefore free passenger transport in the EU is a common interest.</p>

After the 3-0 win in the first leg at Athletic Bilbao, the Red Devils also prevailed against the Spaniards with 4: 1 (0: 1). Tottenham won 2: 0 (0: 0) at the Norwegian surprise team FC Bodö/Glimt, the first encounter the Londoners won 3-1.</p>

For Manchester and Tottenham, it is the great opportunity to save a completely messed up season. In the Premier League, the clubs are currently only in places 15 and 16.</p>

A few seconds later, Mikel Jalegizar scored for the guests (31st). In the second round, however, Mason Mount (72nd, 90th+1), Casemiro (79th) and Rasmus Höjlund (85.) made the game and ensured that Bilbao finally had to bury the dream of the final in his own stadium.</p>

But this did not fall. Instead, on the other hand, Tottenham striker Dominic Solanke (63.) gave the guests in the lead. Shortly afterwards, Pedro Porro (69.) made the decision.</p>

For United it is the first European League final since 2021, the Spurs had recently stood in the Champions League final in 2019.</p>

The Londoners won their home game against the Swedish outsider of Djurgardens 1-0 (1-0) and did not burn anything after the 4-1 win in the semi-final first leg. The final of the third -class European competition will increase on May 28th in Breslau, Poland.</p>

  682. <p>University of East Anglia scientists have developed cutting-edge MRI technology to diagnose a common heart problem more quickly and accurately than ever before.</p>
  683. <p>Aortic stenosis is a progressive and potentially fatal condition, affecting an estimated 300,000 people in the UK. It affects about five per cent of 65-year-olds in the US, with increasing prevalence in advancing age.</p>
  684. <p>A new study, published today, reveals how a four-dimensional flow (4D flow) MRI scan can diagnose aortic stenosis more reliably than current ultrasound techniques.</p>
  685. <p>The superior accuracy of the new test means doctors can better predict when patients will require surgery.</p>
  686. <p>It is hoped the breakthrough could help save thousands of lives in the UK alone.</p>
  687. <p>Lead researcher Dr. Pankaj Garg, from UEA&#8217;s Norwich Medical School and a consultant cardiologist at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, said: &#8220;Aortic stenosis is a common yet dangerous heart condition.</p>
  688. <p>&#8220;It happens when the aortic valve, the main outflow valve of the heart, stiffens and narrows. This causes reduced blood flow from the heart into the rest of the body.</p>
  689. <p><!-- end mobile middle mrec --></p>
  690. <p>&#8220;Symptoms include chest pains, a rapid fluttering heartbeat and feeling dizzy, short of breath and fatigued – particularly with activity.</p>
  691. <p>&#8220;At the moment, doctors use an ultrasound to diagnose the condition, but this can sometimes underestimate the severity of the disease, delaying vital treatment.</p>
  692. <p>&#8220;4D flow MRI is an advanced heart imaging method that allows us to look at blood flow in three directions over time &#8211; the fourth dimension.</p>
  693. <p>&#8220;We wanted to see whether it could provide a more accurate and reliable diagnosis than a traditional ultrasound.&#8221;</p>
  694. <p>The team examined 30 patients diagnosed with aortic stenosis using both traditional ultrasound scans (echocardiography) and advanced 4D flow MRI imaging.</p>
  695. <p>By comparing the results, they evaluated which method more accurately identified patients needing timely heart valve intervention.</p>
  696. <p>They validated their results by comparing them with actual clinical outcomes over an eight-month period.</p>
  697. <p>The team found that the 4D flow MRI technology offered more accurate and reliable measurements of blood flow through patients&#8217; heart valves, compared to traditional echocardiography.</p>
  698. <blockquote><p>&#13;</p>
  699. <p>We hope that this breakthrough will transform how cardiologists assess patients with aortic stenosis &#8211; leading to more timely interventions, fewer complications, and potentially thousands of lives saved in the UK alone.&#8221;</p>

  746. <p>The Department of Health and Human Services&#8217; mass dismissals of workers who release government records &#8220;raise grave transparency, accountability, and privacy concerns,&#8221; Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden said Thursday.</p>
  747. <p>In a May 8 letter to HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. provided exclusively to KFF Health News, Wyden, the top Democrat on the powerful Senate Finance Committee, wrote that &#8220;it is hard to square your commitment to radical transparency&#8221; with HHS&#8217; firing of workers who handled Freedom of Information Act requests.</p>
  748. <p>&#8220;It is essential that FOIA offices have the resources to disclose appropriate information to the public in response to records requests,&#8221; he wrote, noting that disclosures under federal law have &#8220;served as the basis for groundbreaking public reporting, litigation, and legislation&#8221; to improve government programs.</p>
  749. <p>&#8220;During times of rapid changes to government agencies, citizen oversight is a cornerstone of a functioning democracy and these agencies must have adequate resources to respond fully to requests,&#8221; Wyden wrote.</p>
  750. <p>FOIA is a transparency law that guarantees public access to the inner workings of federal agencies by requiring officials to release government records. The 1966 law is a crucial tool to hold officials accountable and uncover harm, corruption, and political meddling in policymaking.</p>
  751. <p>Wyden is the latest lawmaker to protest the Trump administration&#8217;s firings of public records staff and the potential consequences on disclosure of vital information affecting public health and safety. On April 24, Democratic Rep. Gerry Connolly sent a letter to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention expressing concern about the firing of FOIA workers at that agency. The firings have also spurred at least one lawsuit and multiple critical op-eds.</p>
  752. <p>&#8220;It&#8217;s still a bit of a mystery to me as to why this is happening,&#8221; said Adam Marshall, a senior staff attorney at the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press.</p>
  753. <p>The chaos across HHS is &#8220;having a real detrimental effect on the public&#8217;s right to know what&#8217;s happening,&#8221; Marshall said.</p>
  754. <p><!-- end mobile middle mrec --></p>
  755. <p>Wyden asked Kennedy to answer more than two dozen questions by May 22. They include what plans, if any, HHS has to keep meeting its FOIA obligations, and which officials were involved in decisions to fire workers who process requests.</p>
  756. <p>The letter specifically asks for information on the potential involvement of Elon Musk, the world&#8217;s richest person, whom President Donald Trump tapped to shrink the government. Wyden also wants information about the involvement of HHS acting general counsel Sean Keveney, HHS chief of staff Heather Flick Melanson, and top Kennedy aide Stefanie Spear. Lily Johnson, a Wyden spokesperson, said the senator received reports from whistleblowers that Melanson and Spear played a role in FOIA firings across various HHS agencies.</p>
  757. <p>Wyden also asked whether Kennedy, or anyone acting at his direction, has been involved in conversations related to FOIA and topics including vaccines, autism, measles, psychiatric medications, and covid-19.</p>
  758. <p>In a written statement, HHS spokesperson Andrew Nixon said the department &#8220;categorically rejects any characterization suggesting that this effort is a dismantling or weakening of FOIA responsibilities.&#8221;</p>
  759. <p>&#8220;This reorganization is designed to reduce redundancies and improve response times. All FOIA obligations will continue to be fulfilled and this work continues,&#8221; Nixon said.</p>
  760. <p>Wyden&#8217;s letter follows a dizzying series of events over the past month involving FOIA workers at federal health agencies, including the FDA, CDC, and National Institutes of Health.</p>
  761. <p>In late March and early April, HHS decimated the workforce that processes FOIA requests across FDA centers that oversee vaccines, drugs, tobacco, medical devices, and food. Operations to release public records largely ground to a halt, according to current and former employees. Additionally, the CDC&#8217;s entire FOIA office was fired, and staffers were significantly cut at the NIH. KFF Health News agreed not to name the workers because they are not authorized to speak to the press and fear retaliation.</p>
  762. <p>Current and former FDA employees said FOIA workers were fired despite being involved in furnishing government records under court-ordered deadlines in response to lawsuits. Two current or former FDA employees noted that the agency missed several deadlines to produce documents in April.</p>
  763. <p>There were exceptions. The cuts at the FDA spared at least some workers furnishing records in response to court orders in FOIA lawsuits involving the agency&#8217;s vaccines division, which includes litigation about covid vaccines brought by Aaron Siri, an ally of Kennedy&#8217;s who represents anti-vaccine interests, KFF Health News reported. Siri was Kennedy&#8217;s lawyer during his 2024 presidential campaign and has represented prominent anti-vaccine activists.</p>
  764. <p>This month, roughly four weeks after the firings, FDA FOIA workers were reinstated, three employees said. The CDC&#8217;s FOIA office status had not changed as of May 7, one employee said.</p>
  765. <p>On April 22, Kennedy said officials were &#8220;restoring all the FOIA offices,&#8221; but the department has not outlined specific plans. In previous comments, Nixon of HHS said FOIA offices &#8220;will be streamlined into one place and the work will continue to increase radical transparency for the American people.&#8221;</p>
  766. <p>FOIA requests are used to obtain a litany of records, including detailed CDC information about large outbreaks of food and waterborne illnesses, and reports generated by FDA inspections of facilities that make food, drugs, medical devices, and dental products.</p>
  767. <p>Although HHS maintains a FOIA office, historically the FDA, CDC, NIH, and Centers for Medicare &amp; Medicaid Services had dedicated public records teams to handle government records distinct to each agency. Transparency advocates say filling requests is more complicated than many realize, often requiring an in-depth understanding of complex agencies. That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s important to house FOIA staff within each agency rather than consolidate them, they said.</p>
  768. <p>Wyden wrote in his letter that federal health agencies handle &#8220;exceptionally sensitive information,&#8221; such as proprietary details about drugs and medical devices, and personally identifiable information about minors. &#8220;In either case, non-experts responding to FOIA requests jeopardizes this information,&#8221; he wrote.</p>
  769. <p>&#8220;I am extremely concerned about the detrimental impact that FOIA office closures will have on HHS&#8217;s ability to comply with this powerful government accountability tool,&#8221; Wyden wrote.</p>
  770. <p><em>We&#8217;d like to speak with current and former personnel from the Department of Health and Human Services or its component agencies who believe the public should understand the impact of what&#8217;s happening within the federal health bureaucracy. Please message KFF Health News on Signal at (415) 519-8778 or get in touch here.</em></p>
