Pneumonic plague is rare in the United States, but its something that can become serious very quickly. On ARC Las Vegas we talked with our health expert, Dr. Marc J. Kahn, Professor and Chief of Hematology at the Kirk Kerkorian School of Medicine at UNLV.

Between 2017 and 2024, emergency departments nationwide treated an estimated 380,000 e-scooter–related injuries and 155,200 e-bike injuries. That’s according to data published in the latest Traffic Research and Education Newsletter from the Traffic Safety Research Group at the Kirk Kerkorian School of Medicine at UNLV. It documents the growing number of e-micromobility-related accidents in Nevada between 2021 and 2025.

About 40% of UNLV medical students have remained in Nevada for residency, while 60% leave because the state lacks programs in certain specialties, said Dr. Alison Netski, interim dean of UNLV’s Kirk Kerkorian School of Medicine. Among graduates who complete residencies or fellowships in Nevada, 65% stay to practice in the state.

Nine years after the mass shooting on the Las Vegas Strip, medical professionals at University Medical Center of Southern Nevada say the night of 1 October still shapes how they prepare for disaster — and how they understand the lasting emotional toll on a community.

An upset stomach is common, but persistent digestive symptoms that linger, change or interrupt sleep can signal something more serious, including colon cancer.

About 10 minutes after the shooting began, around 10:15 p.m., officers were making their way toward the 32nd floor of Mandalay Bay, where the gunfire was coming from. Around that time, police say the gunman fired his final rounds. As officers worked to reach the hotel room, hospitals across the Las Vegas Valley began preparing for an unprecedented influx of patients.

A new study suggests sleep quality and consistency may be linked to long-term health. Researchers analyzed wrist-tracker data from more than 95,000 people and found that six to eight hours of sleep was associated with the lowest health risk across many conditions.

UNLV researchers say emergency departments treated nearly 500,000 e-bike and e-scooter injuries between 2017 and 2024, and valley doctors are pushing for stronger safety measures.

Although the 2027 Legislative Session is still months away, the State of Nevada is investing in research that could help create new laws for e-micromobility devices such as e-bikes and e-scooters.

The School of Medicine hopes study will help prevent further tragedies as e-device injuries increase
