Las Vegas hospital Nevada's first with 2 cutting-edge treatments
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — MountainView Hospital is making history as the first hospital in Nevada to perform both CAR T-cell therapy and allogeneic stem cell transplants, two cutting-edge treatments that can be lifesaving for patients battling blood cancers and other serious disorders. CAR T-cell therapy involves turning a patient's own cells into powerful weapons against their disease, while allogeneic stem cell transplant uses healthy donor cells to aid in recovery. These highly complex and sophisticated therapies have become a crucial tool in extending and, in many cases, saving the lives of patients with hard-to-treat disorders. 'There are two therapies. One is allogeneic stem cell transplant, which allows us to provide stem cells from other donors to patients who have a need for that. We are also bringing CAR T therapy which uses the patient's own cells,' said Dr. Carolyn Mulroney, medical director of the Sarah Cannon transplant and the CAR T-cell therapy program. Usually, many patients and their families have been forced to travel out of state to access these advanced treatments, adding financial stress and uncertainty during a difficult time. Now, thanks to MountainView's Sarah Cannon Transplant & Cellular Therapy Program, these lifesaving options are available close to home, supported by a team of multidisciplinary experts. This significant breakthrough comes just ahead of the grand opening for MountainView's first-of-its-kind 12,000-square-foot Day Hospital, a state-of-the-art facility designed to provide convenient, patient-centric care under one roof. The new Day Hospital will enable patients to undergo extensive treatments while retaining their routines and staying connected with their support networks. 'In an outpatient setting like this, it allows the patient to go home at the end of the day, sleep in their own bed, and be with their family,' Maria Rios, administrative director at MountainView Hospital, said. This marks a major step forward in health care for Nevada, ensuring that patients battling some of the most aggressive blood disorders can find hope without having to leave their community.

Casualties rushed to hospital after Florida university shooting
A mass shooting on Thursday on the Florida State University campus sent several people to a nearby hospital, a medical center spokesperson said, with at least one reported to be in critical condition. Local reports in the early afternoon spoke variously of at least six people hurt and taken to hospital and possible fatalities, with further details and confirmation sought from the authorities. Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare was receiving and treating people affected by the shooting, said Sarah Cannon, a hospital spokesperson. She said the hospital could not yet confirm the number of people in care, and said the details were still unfolding. Ambulances, fire trucks and patrol vehicles from multiple law enforcement agencies raced toward the campus that sits just west of Florida's state capital after the university issued a shooter alert at midday on Thursday, saying police were responding near the student union. 'Our prayers are with our FSU family and state law enforcement is actively responding,' the state governor, Ron DeSantis, wrote on X. The gunfire was reported at midday at the student union building on the FSU campus and students and faculty were advised to shelter in place as police responded. More than 42,000 students attend classes at the main campus. Officers took one suspect into custody shortly after the reported shooting, two law enforcement sources with knowledge of the situation told CNN, while a local TV station also reported that two shooters had been involved, with more details and confirmation sought. Hundreds of students streamed away from the direction of the student union. Students were glued to their phones, some visibly emotional, while others hugged each other. Dozens gathered near the music school waiting for news. Ryan Cedergren, a 21-year-old communications student, said he and about 30 others hid in the bowling alley in the lower level of the student union after seeing students running from a nearby bar. 'In that moment, it was survival,' he said. Donald Trump opened his Oval Office meeting at the White House with the Italian prime minister, Giorgia Meloni, with comments on the shooting, saying he had been fully briefed. 'It's a horrible thing. It's horrible that things like this take place,' the US president said. After about 15 minutes of hiding, university police escorted the students out of the union and he saw a person getting emergency treatment on the lawn, he said. A junior student, Joshua Sirmans, 20, was in the university's main library when he said alarms began going off warning of a shooter. Law enforcement officers escorted him and other students out of the library with their hands over their heads, he said. The US attorney general, Pam Bondi, said in a social media post that the justice department was in touch with FBI agents on the scene. Students and faculty were instructed to seek shelter and await further instructions. 'Lock and stay away from all doors and windows and be prepared to take additional protective measures,' the alert said. The Associated Press and Reuters contributed reporting
