University of Utah researchers discover genes linked to suicide

[email protected]_84

SALT LAKE CITY – Researchers at University of Utah Health’s Huntsman Mental Health Institute have detected more than 20 genes that may play a role in suicide.

The research is the first of its kind, and a Utah mother who is still grieving doesn’t find the results surprising.

Michelle Nelson stands in the bright kitchen of her 101-year-old house in Salt Lake City.

“Amethyst, opalite and crystal,” she said, picking up the small stones from a dish on the counter.

She collects them to help her heal because picking up the pieces after loss is daunting.

“I take Roan everywhere I go,” she said.

Nelson collects heart rocks — stones that naturally form into a heart shape which she finds outside.

“It’s like a gift from nature that reminds me of him,” Nelson said.

Two years ago, her 16-year-old son, Roan McClain, died by suicide.

“It was the biggest shock

[email protected]_84

After COVID-19 concerns within the Washington State football program eventually led to the cancellation of the 113th Apple Cup, the Huskies needed a new opponent.

At one point in the week’s game prep, Washington football head coach Jimmy Lake had four depth charts on his desk.

“This week, leading up to the Apple Cup, we heard whispers that game was going to be canceled,” Lake said at his Wednesday news conference. “There was definitely some potential games that we were trying to get ahead of that we felt would replace the Apple Cup this weekend.”

Though the Huskies (2-0) were rumored to have considered out-of-conference opponents like BYU and San Diego State, a conference opponent was preferred, Lake said.

Washington moved swiftly to lock in a game against conference foe Utah, and is slated to kickoff  at 4:30 p.m. at Husky Stadium on

University of Utah, BYU law schools’ Achievement Fellowships aspire to change ‘ecosystem’ of state’s legal community

[email protected]_84

SALT LAKE CITY — Over the past decade, Utah’s population has become increasingly diverse, a trend the state’s top demographer Pam Perlich has described as “irreversible.”

By 2065, the Beehive State is projected to look more like the rest of the nation, with slightly more than 1 in 3 Utahns racial and ethnic minorities.

In 2020, it’s closer to 1 in 5 and the makeup of Utah’s legal community lags far behind.

D. Gordon Smith, dean of Brigham Young University’s J. Reuben Clark Law School, said a recent self-reported survey of Utah Bar members indicates minority lawyers comprise less than 10% of all attorneys.

“That’s just not OK when you have a much larger percentage of our population who are in those categories,” he said.

Smith and Elizabeth Kronk Warner, dean of the University of Utah S.J. Quinney College of Law, have had frequent discussions about how to increase diversity

University of Utah senior’s perspective changes after fighting COVID-19

[email protected]_84

SALT LAKE CITY – You hear it time and again — take COVID-19 seriously, wear a mask and keep your distance. But for one college student, none of that guidance really took hold until she got the virus.

“I’m 21. I’m healthy. I don’t have any underlying conditions,” said Hailey West, a senior at the University of Utah.

If you would have asked West what she thought about the virus at any other time this semester, she probably would have said something like, “Yeah, it’s real but it’s fine. Everything is going to be fine. If I get it, I’ll get it.”

“I’m still going to do what I want to do.”

That all changed beginning last Friday, when she tested positive for COVID-19.

“I felt fine at first. I lost my smell the day after I got tested, which was very strange,” she said. “Felt like a basic flu

University of Utah Health Transitions COVID-19 Testing Indoors

[email protected]_84

Nov 10, 2020 10:00 AM

University of Utah Health will begin transitioning to COVID-19 testing indoors on November 11, 2020.

Utah’s changing climate prompted U of U Health to transition to indoor testing.  “Working in the heat of summer helped us realize that a long-term outdoor testing solution was not in our employees’ best interest,” says Richard Orlandi, MD, associate chief medical officer for ambulatory health at University of Utah Health. “Having all of our testing outdoors put a significant strain on our staff—above and beyond the strain they’re under just doing COVID-19 testing.” Testing indoors ensures U of U Health provides the best quality of care to our patients. This will allow health care workers to better evaluate patients during influenza, strep, and cold season.

At the start of the pandemic, University of Utah Health clinical teams began testing patients for COVID-19 outdoors as a fast and efficient method.

[email protected]_84

Oct. 22 (UPI) — The University of Utah announced a $13.5 million settlement to the parents of slain student-athlete Lauren McCluskey, on Thursday, the two-year anniversary of her death.

The university said in the settlement that the on-campus murder two years ago was “preventable.”

“The University of Utah acknowledges that the murder of Lauren McCluskey was a brutal, senseless, and preventable tragedy and acknowledges the unspeakable loss the McCluskey family has suffered and continues to suffer,” the agreement posted on the university’s website states.

The agreement settles two lawsuits, Lauren’s parents, Jill and Matthew McCluskey, filed against the university, including a federal lawsuit that sought $56 million, and a wrongful death lawsuit in state court, Deseret News reported.

“Lauren McCluskey will always be associated with the need to to more carefully monitor and make safe our nation’s campuses,” family attorney co-counsel Brad Parker said in a prepared statement. “Because of
