Juve assistant has been cut
Rome: Juvebtus assistant coach Angelo Alessio will be back in the dugout for the
Serie A champions next weekend after the Italian A Sports tribunal cut his match day ban
from six to four months on Friday.
Allesio was initially handed an eight-month ban for failing to report attempts to fix
matches during the time at Siena but had it reduced to six on appeal on Aug 24.
The latest reduction means that his ban expires on Monday, meaning that he will be
allowed to be the touchline for the champion’s huge clash with the title rivals Napoli next
Saturday.
Earlier this month, Juve boss Antonio Conte had his 10-month ban, also imposed for
failing to report match-fixing at Siena, cut to four, meaning that he will be free to begin full
managerial duties on Dec, 8. – Reuters.

1. Why did the Juve assistant coach get a match ban?

2. What is the main idea of the second paragraph?

Associated press/ London

London: Ryan Lochte ad Sun Yang were young among the few who weren’t concerned
about getting wet when heavy rain saturated London Olympic park on Sunday.
After a week of sunshine, rain and the forecast of hail on the second day affected the
start of tennis on the lawn courts at Wimbledon and made for slippery conditions in the
women’s cycling road race.
It didn’t seem to bother the swimmers. Lochte had the second-fastest time in qualifying
for the 200-meters freestyle, the morning after his stunning win in a 400-meters individual
medley final.
“I didn’t get to bed until like 2 a.m. So, I’m little tired, but it was a prelims swim, so I’m
not too worried about it,” said Lochte, who went out with family and friends to celebrate his
victory. Phelps won an unprecedented eight gold at the Beijing Olympics, but now can’t win
anymore than six in London.
China’s sun on track for a second gold medal after leading qualifiers in the 200 freestyle
in 1 minute 46,24 seconds the morning after his victory in the 400 freestyle. While the weather
was bad, there were other blights; a female gymnast from Uzbekistan was provisionally
suspended after failing the diuretic furosemide on Wednesday.
3. What kind of swimming style did Lochte win?

Jakarta Post:
Researches have found a technique to quickly assess disorders in babies. This new
method, published Wednesday in the magazine Science Translational Medicine, is a proof of
concept that it’s possible to quickly scan a baby’s entire DNA and pinpoint a disease-causing
mutation in a couple of days instead of the more typical weeks as months. The study
investigation to four babies said that the rest could be one of the first partial fruits of the
revolution in sequencing an individual’s entire DNA.
The idea behind the text is to take advantage of what is known about disease symptoms
to narrow the search for genetic. And that is a good step in the right directions, said Dr. Joe
Gray, an experts in genome analysis at Oregon Health and Science University. “It’s a big
genome,” said Dr. Joe Gray, who was not involved with the study. “How do you know what part
of it to search?”
While more research needs to be done before the test is ready for widespread use, he
applauded the effort “if people don’t push the envelope like this, then we won’t get there,” Dr.
Grey said.

NEW YORK: Half of all heart patients made at least one medication-related mistake after leaving
the hospital, and guidance from a pharmacist didn’t seem to reduce those errors, in a new
study.
Consequences of mistake –such as forgetting to take certain drugs or taking the wrong
dose- can range from side effects like constipation to more serious drops in blood pressure. Two
percents or errors were life-threatening.
Not all of the problems, however, were the fault of the patients. Some may have
resulted from medication side effects or other factors beyond the patients’ control.
Hospitals involved in the study were already taking steps to prevent medication
mistakes in addition to the extra pharmacist intervention, said Dr. Sunil Kripalani, the study’s
lead author from the Vanderbilt University medical center in Nashville, Tennessee.
“We were surprised to see that in spite of these efforts, that 50 percent (of patients)
were still having these medication errors,” he told Reuters health.
Although the pharmacist visit didn’t help the average patient, he added, certain ones
seemed to benefit –such as patients who were on multiple drugs or had trouble understanding
health information.
As for traditionally lower-risk patients, he said strategies to prevent errors may be
needed. –Reuters.
