Coaches and many youth athletes automatically would undergo training to detect signs of a concussion and understand the potential consequences of a brain injury under rules proposed by the New Mexico Department of Health. The agency has scheduled a public hearing later this month on the proposal requiring annual training about concussions not only of coaches but also parents and young athletes themselves once they turn 11. Agency official were unavailable Friday for comment. Those children would sign a form each year that shows they completed brain-injury prevention training session linked to standards from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In 2010, New Mexico adopted far-reaching prevention and education measures to address concussions and potential brain injuries in school sports, and more recent legislation in 2017 extended training and education to student athletes. State Senator and high school teacher Bill Soules of Las Cruces said he sponsored the 2017 bill after conversations with students who felt left out of decisions about concussions in athletics. He said protocols for non-scholastic youth sports were not fully addressed at the time and applauded the idea of expanding youth education. "The idea is that students have an awareness as to what the symptoms are of concussions because sometimes they don't show up until one or two hours afterward, and the coach is long gone," he said. The newly proposed brain injury rules echo many guidelines already in place at statewide youth sports organizations affiliated with national governing bodies, such as New Mexico Youth Soccer that oversees a long list of clubs and leagues across the state. Gloria Faber, executive director of New Mexico Youth Soccer, said the new state rules may be help independent youth sports groups keep up with evolving research on brain injuries and ensure that athletes take adequate time off after a concussion. She said standards for non-scholastic sports are especially important because many coaches are parent volunteers and competition begins at a young age. New Mexico's proposed new rules include a standard sit-out period for symptoms of a concussion or brain injury of at least 10 days. Players would return only with a written medical release. In 2015, a New Mexico judge overruled state concussion protocols to allow a high school football player in Rio Rancho to play in a title game after his parents challenged the school's diagnosis.

But the number of people in intensive care units fell to 6,730 from 6,821 over 24 hours - declining for a sixth consecutive day, suggesting the national lockdown put in place on March 17 is having some success in containing the disease. On Monday, President Emmanuel Macron announced a second extension of this lockdown until May 11, saying that progress had been made but also that the country had not been sufficiently prepared early on to surmount the challenges posed by the outbreak of the new coronavirus. Jerome Salomon, head of the public health authority, told a news conference that the number of COVID-19 deaths in French hospitals and nursing homes had risen by 5% in a day to a cumulative total of 15,729, versus 4% on Monday and Sunday. He added that the total number of confirmed infections had climbed by 5.3% to 103,573, compared to a rate of increase of 2.8% on Monday and of 1.7% on Sunday. There were also 26,680 suspected coronavirus cases in nursing homes, taking the total to more than 130,000 confirmed and possible cases, the fifth highest in the world. According to various running simulations, Salomon said that, depending on calculations for different regions, 5%-10% of the French population had probably contracted the disease.

The drug fully eradicated medulloblastoma tumors in mice in 2004. But further testing showed it caused permanent bone damage in immature mice, Tom Curran of The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and colleagues found. Writing in the journal Cancer Cell, they said the drug, known by its experimental name HhAntag, will need to be developed with caution. And, they said, similar drugs will need careful testing. HhAntag, made by California-based Genentech, affects a gene called Hedgehog, involved in both normal development and in cancer. It is a so-called signal transduction inhibitor, designed to interrupt Hedgehog's cancer-causing effects. Several such drugs are currently in pediatric clinical trials. "While it is not clear that the bone defects we observed in mice would also occur in children, and while signal transduction inhibitors may still represent a highly promising approach to treating pediatric cancer, it may be important to perform preclinical testing in young animals before moving ahead to clinical trials," Curran said in a statement. Medulloblastomas account for about one in five childhood brain tumors. "Current therapy, involving a combination of surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, is relatively successful with a five year survival rate of 78 percent," Curran's team wrote. "However, the prognosis is much worse for patients younger than 3 and in older patients with metastatic disease." The Hedgehog-inhibiting drugs had been considered a promising new approach for these young patients. But even brief use of the drug in 10- to 14-day-old mice caused permanent damage, Curran found. "We already knew that the same biological pathway involved in the growth of tumors was also involved in bone development but we did not expect temporary inhibition to cause an irreversible change in bone growth," Curran said. It may be possible to find a way to protect the growing bones of children and still use the drug, Curran said. "Thus, although the impact of a brief suppression of Hedgehog pathway on bone development in mice is quite striking, this should not preclude attempts to develop a highly promising anti-cancer treatment for pediatric medulloblastoma," his team concluded.
