The effects of poisonous gases that leaked from the <keyword id="23933468" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Union-Carbide" source="keywords">Union Carbide</keyword> factory in Madhya Pradesh's Bhopal 40 years ago were seen in the next generations of those who survived the tragedy, a former government forensic doctor has said. At least 3,787 people were killed, and more than five lakh were affected after a toxic gas leaked from the pesticide factory in the city on the intervening nights of December 2 and 3, 1984. Speaking at an event held by organisations of gas tragedy survivors on Saturday, Dr. D. K Satpathy, former head of the forensics department of Bhopal's Gandhi Medical College, said he performed 875 post-mortems on the first day of the disaster and witnessed 18,000 autopsies the next five years. Sathpathy claimed Union Carbide had denied questions about the effects of poisonous gases on unborn children of women survivors and said effects would not cross the placental barrier in the womb in any condition. He said blood samples of pregnant women who died in the tragedy were examined, and it was found that 50% of the poisonous substances found in the mother were also found in the child in her womb. Children born to surviving mothers had the poisonous substances in their system, and this affected the health of the next generation, Sathpathy claimed and questioned why research on this was stopped. Such effects will continue for generations, he said. Satpathy said it was said that MIC gas leaked from the Union Carbide plant, and when it came in contact with water, thousands of gases were formed, and some of these caused cancer, blood pressure, and liver damage.

Bhopal gas tragedy: Effects of leak seen in next generation of survivors, says ex-forensic doctor

Doctors in India are grappling to diagnose and treat unexplained and persistent symptoms of <keyword id="9814327" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="long-covid" source="Orion">long Covid</keyword> patients due to limited guidelines, whereas researchers have flagged inadequate studies on the condition. With the <keyword id="19896311" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="world-health-organization" source="keywords">World Health Organization</keyword> declaring an end to <keyword id="19896627" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="covid" source="keywords">Covid</keyword> as a global <keyword id="416511" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="health-emergency" source="Orion">health emergency</keyword> in May last year, focused efforts are underway around the world to estimate the burden of long Covid among the population. The condition refers to the set of lingering symptoms affecting varied body parts and persisting well beyond the acute Covid infection period, including cough, muscle and joint pain, fatigue, brain fog and difficulty in focusing. The viral disease is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. While studies have suggested that about a third of those moderately or severely infected are likely to suffer from long Covid, region-wise though, incidence could vary. A study by researchers, including those from <keyword id="19988007" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="harvard-medical-school" source="keywords">Harvard Medical School</keyword>, US, estimated that 31 % of the once-infected people in North America, 44% in Europe, and 51% in Asia, have long Covid, which is "challenging the healthcare system, but there are limited guidelines for its treatment". It was published in the International Journal of Infectious Diseases in September. In India, however, studies on long Covid are few and far between. One such study by Maulana Azad Medical College in New Delhi, conducted from May 2022 to March 2023 on 553 patients who had recovered from Covid, found that about 45% had lingering symptoms, persistent fatigue and dry cough being the most common. "There is limited exploratory research on the long Covid syndrome with scarce data on long-term outcomes," the authors wrote in the study published in the journal Cureus in May this year. Understanding the long-term effects of the virus is important for developing management strategies, optimising healthcare delivery, and providing support to recovered Covid patients in the community, they said. Dr Rajesh Sagar, Professor of Psychiatry, All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi, said, "Looking at the current state of long Covid studies in India, it is too premature to say that we understand the condition well enough to know how to diagnose or treat it." Animesh Samanta, assistant professor at School of Natural Sciences in <keyword id="19897094" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="shiv-nadar-university" source="keywords">Shiv Nadar University</keyword>, Greater Noida, said, "While studies in India highlight the growing recognition of neurological complications in long Covid patients, more focused research on neuroinflammation is needed." Doctors, too, have reported a rise in patients complaining of symptoms that they did not have pre-Covid. "People who never had <keyword id="6465125" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="asthma" source="Orion">asthma</keyword> in the past, post-Covid, with every viral infection, they get a long cough, shortness of breath and wheezing, which require the use of <keyword id="31257" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="inhalers" source="Orion">inhalers</keyword> or nebuliser," senior consultant Dr Neetu Jain, who runs a post-Covid care clinic at Pushpawati Singhania Hospital and Research Institute, New Delhi, said. Dr Arun Garg, chairman, Neurology and Neurosciences, Medanta-The Medicity, Gurugram, said he was noticing a spike in stroke cases among young patients not suffering from known risk factors such as diabetes, hypertension and obesity. "Similarly, we are seeing more cases of encephalopathy (swelling of the brain) without reason and having a confused state of mind following one or two days of fever. Their MRI scans show no changes. These patients have increased significantly after Covid," he said. In the absence of medical guidelines to diagnose long Covid, doctors are having to resort to broad, non-specific tests and questionnaires to gauge a patient's 'quality of life'. Studies have shown that the fatigue experienced in long Covid is similar to that in cancer patients, with a quality of life similar to patients of Parkinson's disease. "We really do not have any test to diagnose long Covid, even though it is definitely a clinical diagnosis. We diagnose long Covid for people who had at least moderate to severe infection, following which they could never regain the quality of life pre-Covid. Checking for inflammatory markers like C-reactive proteins (CRP) can support the diagnosis," Dr Jain said. "Other than routine blood tests that measure inflammation, we do antibody tests to look for direct markers. In many of these patients, we are finding rare antibodies which are very new to us and were not there pre-Covid," Dr Garg said. Inflammation persisting despite recovery from acute Covid infection is thought to lie at the heart of long Covid. However, tests to measure this specific immune response are lacking, even as researchers have been working in this direction worldwide. One such effort comes from Shiv Nadar University, where a team led by Samanta has developed a fluorescent probe capable of detecting inflammation in brain cells that can arise due to Covid infection. The probe measures nitric oxide levels in brain cells, especially in human microglia cells, where increased NO levels are linked to the SARS-CoV-2 infection. Microglia are immune cells in the brain that fight disease and help maintain brain health. Lysosomes within microglia, which help clear foreign disease-causing agents like the SARS-CoV-2 virus, produce nitric oxide as part of an immune response to infection. The probe detects nitric oxide produced in lysosomes in response to infection and thereby allows for a measurement of inflammation levels. This examination method can provide "qualitative information on infection status", said Samanta, corresponding author on the study published in the journal Analytical Chemistry in American Chemical Society. He explained that patients with pre-existing conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease or multiple sclerosis (an autoimmune disorder) could exhibit prolonged neuroinflammation and loss of brain cells following Covid infection. While the probe has shown efficacy in cell cultures, animal studies would need to be done, before testing it in humans, Samanta said. Looking at the World Health Organization International Clinical Trials Registry Platform, the study by Harvard Medical School had found that 587 clinical studies were conducted on long Covid, of which about 53% (312) were testing potential treatments. Most of these were found to be conducted in the US (58), followed by India (55) and Spain (20). The trials looked at interventions including physical exercise, psychotherapy, and pharmacological ones such as paxlovid and fluvoxamine. However, "to date, only 11 of these 312 studies have published their results that were not confirmative," the researchers wrote. The team called for studies to look into sleep disorders which were rarely included in the registered clinical studies. Further, interventions targeting the biological processes responsible for long Covid are needed but currently lacking, they said.

Doctors struggle to treat long Covid patients in India; researchers point to inadequate studies

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Quant giant D.E. Shaw has hired people from non-traditional finance backgrounds for decades.</li><li>The firm's head of recruiting told BI he looks for certain traits when hiring, including "learning agility."</li></ul>It was 2011, and Tim Willenken had just spent the past 12 years — four as an undergrad and eight in a doctoral program — preparing to be a philosophy professor.There was just one problem: He didn't want to be in academia anymore.He "had no idea where to start" looking for a job, knowing just about the professions he had been exposed to in graduate school — doctors, lawyers, and professors, he told Business Insider.To learn about what else was out there, he went through his Facebook friends list and called people working at companies in roles he hadn't heard of before. He eventually spoke to an old college friend he knew through debate club who had previously worked at D.E. Shaw."That was the first time I'd heard of the firm," said Willenken, a senior vice president in the D.E. Shaw's corporate development unit. "I think I'd had one conversation about what a hedge fund was when I applied." D.E. Shaw, started in 1988 by now-billionaire computer scientist David Shaw in New York, is remarkably secretive even for the guarded world of hedge funds, but what little has leaked paints the manager as being on the <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/first-half-quant-returns-from-de-shaw-two-sigma-renaissance-2024-7">cutting edge</a> of quant finance.While working at the $60 billion fund is now the goal for many finance-focused students at <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/de-shaws-summer-internship-recruitment-interview-tips-2023-4">top universities</a> and a destination for quants, the manager has also maintained its long history of hiring non-traditional talent. Early hires included crime fiction writer Charles Ardai and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, and the manager now boasts on its website that employees come "by way of academia, Silicon Valley, or an NGO."Other hedge funds are also hoping to convince academics, technologists, and others to join their ranks instead of staying in their field or working in Big Tech as they grow and compete to have best-in-class talent rosters. These offers are not just down to compensation, which is handsome at hedge funds.The firm's head of recruiting, Jeremy Reff, a former English major at Harvard who has worked at the fund for nearly two decades, is in charge of continuing and improving on this tradition of non-traditional hires. While some who join D.E. Shaw may require additional training or a longer runway to get up to speed, he said, the return on these hires outstrips the costs."There are benefits to having a beginner's mindset," he said, and the firm's expansion into different investment strategy types, such as <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/the-d-e-shaw-group-raises-combined-1-1-billion-for-two-new-funds-focused-on-private-market-opportunities-301746589.html">private investing</a> and discretionary global macro, can be attributed to the curious nature of these hires.  The reality, though, is that a lot of roles don't have exact equivalents to other parts of the industry, so people from outside finance are not on that much different footing as those with more traditional finance backgrounds, he said. "We are looking for traits and attributes more than one particular skill," he said.<h2 id="1ec22262-b503-4604-bafe-92fe9e0ecb78">Mentorship, prerequisites, and 'learning agility'</h2>While the firm is happy to invest ample time in training talented recruits, certain roles still require certain skills. For example, knowing how to program is a must if you're applying to be a <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/wall-street-top-technology-projects-goldman-blackstone-morgan-stanley-2024-8#d-e-shaw-s-generative-ai-approach-encourages-programmers-to-build-their-own-tools-4">software engineer</a>, Reff said.The firm's learning and development team is structured to get people up to speed on financial markets and where the firm sits within them. The rotational associates program lets new hires work for different teams in different roles so new employees can get a sense of where they fit best.The real learning happens on the job though."The only real way to learn is to get your hands dirty," Willenken said.Reff's job is to find people who can keep up. The interview process is designed to test potential at the firm, including creativity and "learning agility.""There are thousands of indicators for success that we use," he said. "No one is hired solely based on their résumé."   The firm used to consider <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2019/09/david-e-shaw-college-donations.html">standardized test scores</a> as part of its hiring process but has phased them out over the last few years. "They aren't predictive of success," Reff said.The résumés are generally reviewed blindly, meaning names are not attached to the qualifications and experience.   The process has changed significantly since Reff was hired in 2006, two years after graduating from undergrad; he recalled speaking to his interviewer for a while about the Spanish novel "Don Quixote." Now, it's a more structured process, incorporating industry best practices with the firm's internal metrics and "secret sauce."  "We don't get it 100% correct, of course, and are always tinkering with it," he said.<h2 id="067dcf50-7ee4-431a-b455-7435b3922f71">Academics, doctors, and veterans</h2>The end result is that driven people find their place in the firm, one way or another. Ana Díaz Rivero, a quantitative researcher, "never had an interest in finance," but wanted to leave academia after getting her doctorate in physics.Her role allowed her to "continue pursuing academic research without being in academia," she said."A lot of the skills and tools we use are very similar. The principles behind how we do research are very similar," she said.For those who have joined the firm after working in a non-finance field, incorporating past abilities and skills into their current roles was a big selling point.For some, the biggest carryover from their former careers is habits they learned, like Lindsay Temes's military-trained punctuality and organizational skills. For others, like Dr. Omar Ali, a healthcare specialist on the fundamental equities team, there's more overlap.<div type="image" title="Lindsey Temes sits at a table, writing on a notepad" height="2667" width="4000" msid="114980202" hostid="261" sizebytes="1074078"></div>Temes, a vice president in the COO Group, spent more than a decade in the Air Force before leaving in 2018 to attend graduate programs at Harvard and MIT.As a Pat Tillman Foundation scholar, a program named for the late former football player-turned-soldier that covers veterans' education expenses, she was introduced to D.E. Shaw and found it was a place where she "would be valued and heard."  She overcame some initial hesitancy about financial services thanks to employees from non-traditional backgrounds who stressed that her role wasn't going to be "static."  A former doctor for the UK's National Health Service, Ali said that "the day-to-day is certainly different than working in medicine," but the jump to finance wasn't as daunting as it can seem from the outside.<div type="image" title="Dr. Omar Ali smiles while sitting in a conference room" height="1525" width="2000" msid="114980199" hostid="261" sizebytes="230880"></div>He said firms that focus on their employees' talents and not on fitting people into specific boxes make the transition easy."My real value is not my ability to navigate a balance sheet, it's my practical expertise in the field and my background," he said.<h2 id="900d026f-556a-4784-8b67-9629236daaba">Don't want to 'win' on compensation</h2>Hedge funds are known for paying their employees well, especially compared to fields like academia or government work.Job postings show positions such as a software developer making $200,000 a year, and a summer internship on the fundamental research team for college students is offering $18,000 a month in salary, plus overtime, along with a $10,000 signing bonus, a $10,000 housing allowance, and thousands of dollars in stipends for "self-study" materials and technology equipment.But Reff said, "I never want to win on solely compensation," and those who have joined from outside finance say they were drawn to the firm for a number of reasons beyond pay.Díaz Rivero and Ali knew of D.E. Shaw Research, a computational drug discovery company led by Shaw, which put the hedge fund on their radar. Willenken, the doctor of philosophy, appreciated that his role included the parts of academia he enjoyed most without the siloed approach academic research roles typically require.Timelines are tighter and there's more collaboration on the corporate development team, he said, and "the questions are a little more concrete than in philosophy." But he is using the same muscles to search for answers to questions that don't have easy answers.   "There's not a lot of low-hanging fruit. If there was an obvious answer, someone would have thought of it by now," he said.Reff has a shorthand he uses with potential recruits to describe the firm: "These are a bunch of people who really want to get things right."  "I think that's very attractive to people in a lot of different fields," he said.

What he didn’t expect was that the source of his discomfort would turn out to be a live cockroach. Upon his admission, Dr Vatsya and his team decided to conduct an Upper Gastrointestinal (GI) Endoscopy to investigate the cause of his symptoms. During the procedure, they discovered the uninvited intruder lurking in the man’s small intestine. "A live cockroach in the small intestine is a life-threatening situation," Dr Vatsya said, noting the urgency of the discovery. "We proceeded immediately with the endoscopy to remove it. If it hadn’t been removed, the cockroach could have caused severe infections and potentially fatal complications." <h2>The peculiar procedure</h2>The extraction, while extraordinary, was surprisingly straightforward. The doctors employed an endoscope, a flexible tube outfitted with two channels — one for infusing air and water, and the other for suction. Dr Vatsya’s team used the suction channel to trap the cockroach, swiftly guiding it up and out of the patient’s digestive tract in under ten minutes. The medical team was equally relieved and intrigued by the unique case. Dr Vatsya speculated that the cockroach may have found its way into the patient’s mouth while he was sleeping, or, more bizarrely, been swallowed unknowingly during a meal. This surprising incident serves as a reminder that life can sometimes deliver the most unexpected challenges. Though rare, cases like this underscore the importance of seeking prompt medical attention when unusual symptoms arise. Thanks to the quick action and precision of Dr Vatsya and his team, the young man walked away from what could have been a far more dangerous situation. While we’re all advised to stay vigilant about what we put into our bodies, sometimes it seems that creepy crawlies find their own way in. Fortunately, Delhi’s medical professionals are prepared — even for the most unusual of cases. (With inputs from agencies)

A suspiciously high number of the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.insider.com/golden-bachelor-women-contestants-instagram-handles-2023-10">women</a> claimed that the sport was one of their interests after Turner said that he did it to keep fit. "I get my <a target="_blank" href="https://www.insider.com/golden-bachelor-gerry-turner-72-diet-workout-routine-2023-10">exercise</a> that way," Turner told GQ, saying that he played pickleball three mornings a week for three hours. In the latest episode of the show, the 72-year-old hosted a pop-up <a target="_blank" href="https://www.insider.com/i-tried-pickleball-rules-court-paddles-2023-7">pickleball</a> tournament. The women were pitted against each other in teams of two. The victors received a trophy and the opportunity to take part in a photo shoot with Turner for a national pickleball magazine. There was drama on the court when one of the contestants appeared to stumble and fall. "I think I broke my ankle," April Kirkwood exclaimed, dropping her paddle. <h2>Injuries can happen</h2>Turner — who'd said in an interview that he'd gotten two black eyes from pickleball in the past — stepped in. He let Kirkwood rest her head on his shoulder before a medic arrived. Thankfully, April wasn't seriously hurt, and she was able to keep playing. The 65-year-old later confessed she'd faked it to spend a bit more one-on-one time with Turner. "Actually, I'm totally fine," she said. Though it wasn't shown on film, another contestant, Nancy Hulkower, suffered a genuine injury during the high-stakes competition. She sustained a stress fracture on her foot and appeared in a surgical boot before the famous rose ceremony. "It hurts," the 60-year-old said. "I'm just hanging in." Hulkower's plight came as little surprise to George Eldayrie, a leading sports-medicine doctor based in Florida. He told Insider he's treated as many as three seniors a week who'd picked up injuries on the pickleball court. "Most of them are over 50, " he said. "The population that is playing pickleball is much older, so they tend to have more injuries." <div type="image" title="Nancy Hulkower and Gerry Turner sit on a couch during the filming of &quot;The Golden Bachelor.&quot; Hulkower is wearing a surgical boot after injuring her leg." height="3481" width="4641" msid="104593346" hostid="261"></div>Indeed, according to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.usapickleball.org/docs/USA-Pickleball-Fact-Sheet-2023.pdf">USA Pickleball,</a> the body that governs the sport, more than half of all players are 55 and above. The organization says in a fact sheet that the sport has "developed a passionate following due to its friendly, social nature, and its multi-generational appeal." Eldayrie agreed that the sport — which takes place on a court about the same size as a badminton court — is particularly popular with <a target="_blank" href="https://www.insider.com/senior-pickleball-daily-diet-exercise-routine-longevity-health-tips-2023-5">older people.</a> He said many of them had played higher-energy racquet sports in the past, such as tennis and squash. "Their body might not be able to meet the demands of running around the tennis court anymore," Eldayrie said. "But they can get the same kind of enjoyment, social interaction, and hand-eye coordination from pickleball without having to run as much." Still, Eldayire, who works with <a target="_blank" href="https://www.orlandohealth.com/services-and-specialties/orlando-health-jewett-orthopedic-institute">Orlando Health Jewett Orthopedic Institute,</a> said the sport can result in nasty injuries. "I see the typical kind of symptoms that you see in tennis elbow or golfer's elbow," he said. The pain of tennis and golfer's elbow is associated with the overuse and repetitive use of the muscles and tendons in the wrist and arm. Eldayrie said other pickleball injuries could be related to "a trip, fall, or exertion." "You might strain a calf muscle, pull a hamstring, or irritate some <a target="_blank" href="https://www.insider.com/arthritis-signs-2018-11">arthritis </a>in the knee," he said. But he said the risk of injury can be mitigated by a few simple measures. <h2>Wear the right type of shoes</h2>Pickleball involves a lot of pivoting and back-and-forth movements on the court, Eldayrie said, which could cause falls that many seniors take longer to recover from. "It's a good idea to invest in shoes that offer ankle support," the physician said. "You are less likely to roll your ankle if you are wearing a stable shoe that's a little bit bulkier and can take more impact." <h2>Stretch</h2>He said players should follow the lead of professional athletes and perform routine <a target="_blank" href="https://www.insider.com/guides/health/fitness/benefits-of-stretching">stretches.</a> "Stretching is important," he said. "Most people only focus on pre-participation stretching, but it's better for <keyword id="21203420" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="injury-prevention" source="keywords">injury prevention</keyword> if you do it afterward, too." He advised people to "loosen up a bit, get in a little stretch, participate, and do a cool-down stretch at the end." He recommended a hamstring stretch, a quad stretch, a groin stretch, and a "little side lunge." He also suggested shoulder circles and wrist stretching. "Bend your wrist all the way down and all the way up to feel that stretch in your arms," Eldayrie said. <h2>Play doubles, not singles, and pace yourself</h2>The doctor said seniors might consider playing doubles instead of singles for safety reasons. "Both can be demanding, but there's not a whole lot of running with doubles," he said. He said that a team of two players is more likely to take time to chat between points and recalibrate. "Remember to give your body a break," he said. It's also important to know your limits — even if you're trying to impress someone. Don't carry on for the sake of appearance, Eldayrie said. "You shouldn't be playing if your pain is more than a two out of 10," he said. "Aches and soreness are relatively OK, but sharp stabbing pains are not." He also recommended that everyone, but especially seniors, consult their doctor before taking up any sport.

A warning label reminding people it is "associated with significant mental health harms for adolescents" could help the problem, he argued.It's not something Murthy can install on his own. The labels would require congressional approval. And <a target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/surgeon-general-warning-label-social-media-teen-health-2024-6">Murthy's comparison to cigarette warnings might be misplaced</a>, writes BI's Katie Notopoulos, who suggests explicit lyrics on music might be a better fit.Murthy has taken shots at social media before. Last year he called for legislation to protect young people from harassment, abuse, and exploitation, and more transparency from tech companies.Major social media companies remained largely silent regarding Murthy's suggestion, but the tech lobbying group Chamber of Progress was quick to respond."Putting a warning label on online speech isn't just scientifically unsound. It's at odds with the constitutional right to free speech," group CEO Adam Kovacevich said in a statement.Vote here to let us know <a target="_blank" href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScSjALurfMLlW0rgR0FDBvP1ASufbe6EyBPOHWwh_1C4ZaWoQ/viewform">whether you favor a warning label</a>.<div type="image" title="warning label with red background" height="900" width="1200" msid="111088031" hostid="261" sizebytes="74838"></div>Murthy's recommendation comes at a unique time for social media.If the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/tiktok-ban-bytedance-lawsuit-us-government-free-speech-national-security-2024-5">US ban on TikTok can survive the courts</a>, it will be a watershed moment for the industry. (Yes, TikTok's ties to China muddy the waters, but a successful ban would still mean lawmakers shutting down a popular app used by millions of Americans.)It's not just TikTok. Generative AI adds more fuel to the misinformation fire social media platforms have been battling for years.AI tools make it easier for bad actors to fabricate stories, images, and videos that can influence people. And it's all happening in the lead-up to a contentious presidential election. There are also concerns surrounding <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/tiktok-getting-into-murky-business-of-ai-generated-creator-ads-2024-6">AI-generated avatars' impact on influencers</a>, writes BI's Dan Whateley.And yet, things have never been better for some companies.Meta, the godfather of social media, is perhaps the best example. On January 31, CEO Mark Zuckerberg, along with a handful of other tech CEOS, was grilled by Congress during a hearing on online child sexual exploitation.At one point, Zuckerberg was pressured to physically stand up and face families <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/mark-zuckerberg-meta-faced-families-online-child-safety-senate-hearing-2024-1">affected by online abuse</a>. In the long battle to force tech CEOs to get their companies in line, it <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/facebook-mark-zuckerberg-senate-hearing-child-exploitation-social-media-law-2024-1">felt like a potential turning point</a>.More than four months later, though, the only thing that's seemed to change is Meta's stock price. The company's share price is up more than 28% since that contentious hearing.<h2 id="ad3eab13-2845-438f-9ac5-3578a3bc31f9">3 things in markets</h2><div type="image" title="man" height="750" width="1000" msid="111088027" hostid="261" sizebytes="46578"></div><ol><li>How one hedge fund got off to a booming start this year.
