Break 1: PEGGY SLAPPY
STORY 1: New treatment offers hope for Long COVID patients to restore their smell
Researchers have discovered a new 10-minute treatment that may restore the sense of smell in patients with long COVID. The treatment involves injecting anesthetic directly into the stellate ganglion on one side of the neck, stimulating the autonomic nervous system. The minimally invasive procedure, guided by CT imaging, has been successful in treating post-COVID parosmia, a common symptom affecting the sense of smell. The method, taking less than 10 minutes and requiring no sedation, has been previously used for conditions like cluster headaches and phantom limb pain. The study reported positive outcomes and near 100% resolution of phantosmia in some patients.
STORY 2: GCPS and partners to use federal grant to address school psychologist shortage
Gwinnett County Public Schools, Paulding County School District, and Georgia State University have received a $3.5 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Elementary and Secondary Education to address the shortage of school psychologists. The funds will be used to recruit, train, and support professionals from local communities, preparing them to enter the field of school psychology. The grant aims to enhance the quality of education and support services within Gwinnett County Public Schools, particularly addressing the increasing mental health needs of students in the post-pandemic era. The initiative aligns with the district’s strategic plan to support the holistic development of students.
STORY 3: Federal Railroad Administrator Amit Bose's Visit To Gwinnett Highlights Need To Address Blocked Train Crossings
Federal Railroad Administrator Amit Bose visited Duluth to discuss railway safety and the challenges posed by trains blocking local roads with U.S. Rep. Lucy McBath and Gwinnett County leaders. The meeting addressed safety concerns related to railroad crossings and followed the Federal Railroad Administration awarding $888,000 to Gwinnett for studying the elimination of three crossings. The crossings at Arcado, Oak/Gloster, and Hosea Roads are on the CSX rail line, and the goal is to explore alternative means to facilitate vehicle movement over or under the tracks without interruptions. The discussions also touched on concerns about pedestrian crossings and quiet zones near residential areas.

STORY 4: Gwinnett County Public Schools sets calendars for next two school years
Gwinnett County Public Schools in Georgia will start the 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 school years on Aug. 5, 2024, and Aug. 4, 2025, respectively, but the approved calendars do not include holidays for Eid, despite advocacy from Muslim students and a school board member. The calendars were chosen by district leaders following a public input process, with the majority supporting options that closely resembled the existing calendar. Options Two and Four, which included additional holidays for Rosh Hashanah and Eid, received less support. School Board Chairwoman Tarece Johnson-Morgan expressed disappointment at the lack of community support for inclusive calendars.
STORY 5: Scientists solve the mystery of red wine headaches
Scientists from the University of California, Davis, have identified the reason why drinking red wine can lead to headaches. They found that a natural compound or flavonol called quercetin in red wine can interfere with alcohol metabolism, leading to headaches. Quercetin, a healthy antioxidant found in fruits and vegetables, including grapes, blocks the metabolism of alcohol when it enters the bloodstream, causing the accumulation of the toxin acetaldehyde. The study also revealed that different wines had varying amounts of quercetin, depending on sunlight exposure during grape growth. The researchers plan to conduct human clinical trials to further explore the causes of red wine headaches.
