Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:34:26 GMT

LONDON (AP) — Tottenham defender Cristian Romero will be out of action for four or five weeks with a hamstring injury, manager Ange Postecoglou said on Wednesday.The Argentina international, who only returned from a three-match suspension at the start of this month, sustained the injury during Saturday’s 2-1 Premier League victory over Everton.On the eve of fourth-place Tottenham’s Premier League game at Brighton on Thursday, Postecoglou told reporters: “Not so great with Romero. He had a scan the other day and has got a hamstring strain. We are looking at probably four or five weeks for him.“Disappointing to lose him, for sure. We obviously missed him with the suspension and now we’ve just got him back and he steadied things up. Now he will be missing again for quite a chunk of time.”However, Romero’s centre-back partner Micky van de Ven should be ready to return soon after his own hamstring injury.“We will see him some time in January,” Postecoglou said. “I...

Private equity ownership of hospitals made care riskier for patients, a new study finds

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:34:26 GMT

(CNN) — Health care became more hazardous for patients at hospitals purchased by private equity firms, a new study shows.The sweeping study, which was published Tuesday in the journal JAMA, looked at the rates of 10 serious adverse events associated with medical care at 51 hospitals before and after they were purchased by private equity firms — a financing model designed to make money for investors. The researchers then compared those results with the rates of the same complications at 259 hospitals that were not owned by private equity firms.Private equity firms have been acquiring large chunks of the US health care delivery system in recent years. In addition to hospitals, those acquisitions include nursing homes, behavioral health systems, and private physician practices. Academic research has shown that private equity ownership is associated with higher death rates for patients in nursing homes and increased costs to taxpayers. Earlier this month, the Senate Budget Committee ann...
