Infertility affects a ‘staggering’ 1 in 6 people worldwide, WHO says

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:39:12 GMT

(CNN) — An estimated 1 in 6 people globally are affected by infertility, according to a new report from the World Health Organization, which emphasizes that the condition is common.Rates of infertility — defined as not being able to conceive after a year of having unprotected sex — are similar across all countries and regions, Monday’s WHO report says.“In our analysis, the global prevalence of lifetime infertility was 17.5%, translating into 1 out of every 6 people experiencing it in their lifetime,” Dr. Gitau Mburu, a scientist of fertility research at WHO, said Monday.“Lifetime prevalence of infertility does not differ by income classification of countries,” he said. “Lifetime prevalence was 17.8% in high-income countries and 16.5% in low- and middle-income countries, which, again, was not a substantial or significant difference.”Yet there are differences in how much people are spending on fertility treatments and how acc...

This article first appeared in the London Playbook newsletter.LONDON — U.K. opposition leader Keir Starmer has not just survived three years at the helm of the Labour Party, he hits the milestone as a serious contender to be next prime minister. Three years after taking over from Jeremy Corbyn at the height of the U.K.’s first coronavirus lockdown on April 4, 2020, Labour boasts a commanding poll lead over the ruling Conservatives. Starmer, who inherited a party riven with division and still smarting from its worst election defeat since 1935, has held the top opposition job through a period of huge political turmoil and change. He is on his third Conservative prime minister since taking up the post.But questions still remain over whether he can turn a significant poll lead into actual power at the next election, which is expected next year. A YouGov poll for the Times newspaper on Tuesday suggested people still don’t really know what the opposition leader stands for. ...

How the draft process is unfolding for Chicago Bears GM Ryan Poles as he considers his options at No. 9 — including Jalen Carter

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:39:12 GMT

The goal for Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Poles when he hosts draft prospects at Halas Hall and then takes them out to dinner is to get to know them and their knowledge of football in a more relaxed setting.It’s an important step as the Bears weigh which player they will pick at No. 9 in the first round April 27. NFL teams are limited to bringing 30 non-local prospects to their facilities for a visit that doesn’t include an on-field workout, a process that wraps up April 19 this year.“We just want to see if they let their guard down and just talk,” Poles said last week at the NFL’s annual meetings in Phoenix. “Sometimes when you go to the combine, they’re uptight, they’re nervous. It’s an intimidating setup. We just want them to relax a little bit.“The intelligence piece, not that you can see everything, but get them on the board and just talk more ball, watch film and then see how they move around our organization, t...

Thanks to Sister’s Gift, Michael King Pitches to His Own Beat

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:39:12 GMT

As Michael King stepped to the mound Saturday, he did so to a familiar sound.King, pitching in a major league game for the first time since July 22 after a stress fracture in his right elbow ended his breakout 2022 campaign, showed some rust. The right-hander allowed two earned runs over 1.2 innings in the Yankees’ 7-5 loss to the Giants, but simply returning to the bump qualified as an accomplishment after King’s freak injury a season ago.Doing so also gave the 27-year-old a chance to reintroduce his warm-up song, “Messin’ with the King,” to the Yankee Stadium crowd. The tune, a rap written by his recording artist sister, Olivia, has been welcoming King to the hill since his junior season at Boston College with these opening lines:I step to the mound and I put on my crown,I royally put them down after you hear this sound,Even the crowd knows you in for it now…“I love the lyrics,” King told The Daily News of the track, which features O...

Twice the Chicago Cubs lineup gave Drew Smyly a multirun lead.Twice the veteran left-hander squandered it in the bottom half of the inning.Monday’s rocky start against the Cincinnati Reds certainly wasn’t the season debut Smyly envisioned, especially when a pair of three-run innings by the offense in the first and fifth were wasted.Those blown leads proved to be the difference in the Cubs’ 7-6 loss.“It was a frustrating outing,” Smyly said. “It’s not the one you want to start the year. … I mean, our offense scored a lot of runs, plenty to win a game. I let us down tonight.”Here are three takeaways from the loss.1. A comeback attempt in the seventh inning fell apart.Patrick Wisdom had an inkling from the on-deck circle — before catcher interference during Trey Mancini’s at-bat put runners on first and second with nobody out — that he would be called on to deliver a sacrifice bunt in the seventh with the Cubs trai...
