East Hartford police are investigating after a man's body was found in the Connecticut River Saturday.

A 26-year-old man without known chronic illness presented with acute myalgias, fatigue, and tea-colored urine and tested positive for influenza A. Urinalysis showed 3+ blood with one red blood cell per high-power field on microscopy, supporting pigmenturia. Creatine kinase peaked at 292,109 U/L, while serum creatinine remained 0.7-0.9 mg/dL throughout hospitalization. He was treated with intravenous isotonic saline, oseltamivir, and serial biochemical monitoring. Symptoms improved, and creatine kinase decreased to 49,878 U/L by discharge without renal replacement therapy. Subsequent myositis antibody testing was negative; however, a family history of similar episodes raised concern for an underlying inherited susceptibility. This case demonstrates that profound influenza-associated muscle injury can occur without documented acute kidney injury and that renal risk should be assessed using serial kidney function, electrolytes, volume status, and urine output rather than creatine kinase magnitude alone.

Japan is to launch a spacecraft on the world’s first mission to bring back samples from Phobos, one of the two small, potato-shaped moons orbiting Mars. Scientists hope the mission, which is expected to take five years, will provide clues to how Phobos and its smaller sibling Deimos formed, and hopefully even shed light on the origins of life in the solar system. The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (Jaxa) is aiming to launch the spacecraft on Tuesday on a new Japanese mainstay H3 rocket. Yasuhiro Kawakatsu, the project manager for the Martian Moons eXploration (MMX) mission, said samples from Phobos would provide useful data for scientists to consider using a Martian moon as a base for a future manned mission to the planet. The US, China and others are hoping to send astronauts to Mars. “Despite their potential importance, Martian moons have never been fully investigated,” Kawakatsu said. “They are known as the most important unclimbed mountains in the solar system.”Japan is leading an international mission, which includes equipment and communications support from Nasa and other national space agencies.

Pope Leo XIV thanked thousands of faithful in St. Peter's Square on Sunday for their prayers while he was hospitalized for an operation to remove a malignant tumor, and said he plans to gradually return to his usual duties. The crowd erupted in cheers when the pontiff showed himself in the window overlooking the square, where a week ago on the same occasion of the traditional Angelus blessing he revealed that a nodule had been located on his lung, and that it would be surgically removed.’’Now that this delicate phase is behind me, I will gradually resume my activities, always with God’s help and your prayers," Leo said, his voice sounding strong four days after the lower lobe of his right lung was removed. The pontiff said the experience of the last week “has made me feel especially close to those facing illness and infirmity.” He told the faithful that he had ‘’truly felt your support,'' and expressed ‘’particular gratitude to the doctors, nurses and all the staff at Gemelli hospital'' where he was treated. The pope paused for a moment and waved to the crowd before retreating into his apartment in the Apostolic Palace.

Parts sharing between cars is common, and automakers do that to save money on development costs of various components. For example, within the Volkswagen Group, you'll find that the Lamborghini Urus, the Porsche Cayenne, the Bentley Bentayga, and the Audi RSQ8 all share different versions of the same 4-liter twin-turbo V8. In this case, it is the engine — in other cases, it can be the transmission or the platform itself. Spreading a single component across several models lets a company recoup its engineering budget over far more units, so the practice makes financial sense, even for brands sitting at very different price points.

Supermassive black holes are thought to exist at the centers of nearly all large galaxies. These enormous objects can weigh millions or even billions of times as much as the Sun, but scientists still do not fully understand how they grow to such extraordinary sizes. Pulling in (accreting) gas from their surroundings is one way they gain mass, although this process alone may be too slow to explain the largest examples. Merging with other massive black holes could provide the missing explanation. Galaxy collisions are common throughout the universe, making it likely that their central black holes also eventually come together. As two galaxies merge, their black holes are expected to move closer, begin orbiting one another, and gradually spiral inward until they combine into a single object.

A large-scale Ukrainian drone attack on Russia's second-largest city Saint Petersburg killed at least one person and hospitalised another five on Sunday. The attack – which also sparked fires at an oil refinery and depot – comes as Kyiv accused Russia of violating Washington's "energy ceasefire" dozens of times.

A new report from the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives says Saskatchewan needs greater provincial involvement to address the housing and homelessness crisis in Regina and Saskatoon, while a researcher says similar pressures can affect smaller communities across the province. In A Cracked Foundation: The worsening homelessness crisis in Regina and Saskatoon, author Noelle Greuel examines the province's role in addressing homelessness and argues municipalities face limitations because of their budgets and legislative powers.

For the second time in five days, the Buffalo Sabres and Montreal Canadiens went to overtime at the Bell Centre, and for the second time, the Canadiens won it. Cole Caufield with an absolute stunner of a shot upstairs on a breakaway led the Canadiens to a 4-3 win. Wilde Horses It was the first game of the season for Oliver Kapanen. He looked solid. The last time Kapanen looked as talented as he did on Saturday was about game 60 last season, before he hit the wall for the rest of the season and the playoffs. Kapanen had that trademark intelligence. He was on a two-on-one looking confident with Kirby Dach. With Kapanen, Dach looked good for the first time this season. If Kapanen finds his better game, it would be a giant boost for the Canadiens who are looking for a 12th forward that doesn’t bring the team down.  Another night and another goal for Bolduc. On the power play, it was Bolduc in the bumper position, and he deflected a point shot from Nick Suzuki for a tally. Story continues below advertisement
