Ravens vs. Browns staff picks: Who will win Sunday’s Week 10 game in Baltimore?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:08:34 GMT

Here’s how The Baltimore Sun sports staff views the outcome of Sunday’s Week 10 game between the Ravens (7-2) and the Browns (5-3) at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore.Brian Wacker, reporterRavens 23, Browns 13: The Ravens have the best defense in the NFL, but the Browns aren’t far behind. This game figures to be a far different story than last month’s meeting in Cleveland when overmatched Browns rookie quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson was under center instead of an injured Deshaun Watson. The Ravens have won three straight at home against the Browns and they’ll triumph again behind a defense that gets better by the week, an offense that’s starting to find its footing and an offensive line that’s one of the best in the league.Mike Preston, columnistRavens 30, Browns 10: Cleveland is trying to rebound and rally around quarterback Deshaun Watson, but the Ravens have virtually no weaknesses and are too physical for the Browns.

Loss of smell from COVID-19 takes up to three years to return, study finds

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:08:34 GMT

Jason Gale | Bloomberg News (TNS)The loss of taste and smell — hallmarks of a coronavirus infection early in the pandemic — became a stubborn blight for many long COVID-19 sufferers, but new research shows that the sensory problems gradually abate.Smell and taste disturbances were reported in almost two-thirds of the 100 people who had caught a mild case of COVID-19 in the fall of 2020 in Trieste, Italy, and were randomly selected for studying alongside 100 uninfected people for comparison. Both groups were followed for three years.About a quarter of the COVID-19 cases couldn’t taste properly a year after the acute illness but, after two years, there was little difference between them and controls. The research, published Thursday in a letter to the journal JAMA Otolaryngology, suggests that so-called gustatory dysfunction, linked to the taste bud-damaging immune response to lingering vestiges of SARS-CoV-2 in the tongue, resolves faster than problems with smell.More than a quarter ...

He was too sick for a lung transplant. Then, doctors held his heart in place with breast implants

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:08:34 GMT

Ilana Arougheti | Chicago TribuneCHICAGO — Before David “Davey” Bauer made history at Northwestern Medicine for a double lung transplant assisted by a pair of DD breast implants, he considered himself a fairly healthy guy.Bauer, 34, spent his hours off from his landscaping job in De Soto, Missouri — near St. Louis — golfing, snowboarding and skateboarding. Cigarettes, he thought, were the only negative. A former smoker who went through a pack a day for four years, Bauer switched to vaping in 2014.“I thought it seemed like a safer alternative,” Bauer said. “In hindsight, it seems like I should have just quit sooner … it’s not good to inhale anything in your lungs, other than oxygen, obviously.”So when Bauer entered an urgent care clinic outside of St. Louis in April with the flu, he expected to recover fast.“They were just like, ‘He’s got the flu, there’s a little bit of pneumonia in his lungs, here’s a Z-Pak, you’re good to go,’” Susan Gore, Bauer’s girlfriend of seven years, ...
