New sleep apnea therapy offered at CarolinaEast Health System
NEW BERN, N.C. (WNCT) — A medical team with the CarolinaEast Health System are offering a new solution for those who struggle with a CPAP machine. Medical personnel with the Ear, Nose and Throat section of CarolinaEast are now making Inspire therapy available to the public. They have just completed their 50th Inspire implant. Inspire therapy helps those who have obstructive sleep apnea and struggle to use a CPAP. It offers a long-term and mask-free solution by syncing with the patient's natural breathing pattern and keeps their airway open. 'We are excited to stay on the cutting edge of technology for our patients in coastal NC,' stated Dr. McNabb, Otolaryngologist. 'The new Inspire therapy is one more tool to help those who suffer from sleep apnea get the rest they need.' The procedure involves two incisions, one in the chest and one under the chin where the nerve that controls the airway muscles is located. The Inspire implant and breathing sensors are placed in the chest incision. A handheld remote is given to the patient for them to turn the implant on when they're ready to sleep.

Michigan lawmakers consider bills to bar transgender girls from playing school sports
State Rep. Rylee Linting (R-Wyandotte) speaks outside the Michigan State Capitol Building in support of legislation to ban transgender girls from female school sports teams on May 15, 2025. | Photo: Anna Liz Nichols Legislation to amend Michigan's civil rights laws and school rules to bar female transgender students from participating on sports teams aligning with their gender identity drew debate at the Michigan Capitol Thursday. Republican lawmakers sponsoring the bills stood outside the Capitol in the morning, joined by Payton McNabb, a former North Carolina high school athlete who said in 2022 she sustained a traumatic brain injury and other permanent injuries during a highschool volleyball game after a transgender athlete spiked the ball into her head. President Donald Trump acknowledged McNabb, 20, at his joint address to Congress in March touting his executive order threatening to revoke federal money from educational institutions allowing transgender female athletes to compete on female sports teams. 'Biology is not bigotry,' McNabb said, contending that every adult who allowed a transgender girl onto the girls volleyball team failed her and denied the reality that there is a difference between the athletic ability of male and female athletes. 'It is not loving to lie and a man can just simply never become a woman no matter how many surgeries, what kind of clothes they're putting on, it's just not going to work,' McNabb said. 'I've decided to try to use my story and turn pain into purpose and hopefully hope or use my story to make sure that this does not happen to any other girl across the nation.' According to GLAAD, McNabb is a paid spokesperson for the Independent Women's Forum, a group 'that aggressively lobbies against transgender people'. House Bills 4469 and 4066 dictate that schools must designate sports teams based on the sex listed on an athlete's original birth certificate from the time they were born. The legislation would ban schools and districts from allowing 'individuals of the male sex to participate in any interscholastic athletic team or sport designated as only for participants of the female sex'. In order to safeguard the 'integrity' of women's sports, ensuring that girls don't have to compete against 'biological males', bill sponsor Rep. Rylee Linting (R-Wyandotte) said there needs to be consistency in definitions for sports participation. 'This is not about putting anyone down. This is about lifting up our young girls who have dreams, making sure that they have a level playing field, that they are not robbed of scholarship opportunities, a spot on the team, or worse, seriously injured,' Linting said. LGBTQ+ advocates condemn House resolution asking to bar transgender girls from high school sports Earlier Thursday morning Linting and proponents for the bills, including anti-trans athlete advocate and former NCAA swimmer for the University of Kentucky Riley Gaines, who pre-recorded her testimony, advocated in the House Government Operations Committee for an amendment to Michigan's Elliott-Larsen Civil Right Act specifying schools can base sports eligibility based on sex markers on original birth certificates. If the sponsors of the bills are so interested in the health and safety of women and girls, they ought to look at actual issues impacting their safety like gun violence, housing affordability or food insecurity, Emme Zanotti, senior director of movement building and political affairs at Equality Michigan said during the committee meeting. Sports are bigger than trophies, Zanotti told lawmakers during the committee meeting. Whether kids finish in first place or tie for fifth place, athletes learn important values such as perseverance and teamwork. 'We should want more young people to play sports in our state, not put up more barriers for all girls, like invasive inspections and ridicule about what gender they are because their hair is too short, they're too tall, their shoulders are too broad, or because they have a good serve,' Zanotti said. As a transgender woman and a coach to trangender athletes, Sarah Antaya told lawmakers on the committee kids aren't necessarily going to remember every trophy or medal they didn't win, but the bullying and discrimination they face when trying to participate in sports, to have fun like all the other kids, will have an effect. The vast majority of children in sports are not going to get a scholarship or become professional athletes, Antaya said, and coming from a hockey and roller derby background, she said the majority of injuries in sports aren't in totality due to an opponent being 'grossly physically superior'. 'The vast majority of injuries happen because injuries happen. It's sports, and to say that we need to protect these kids from other girls is just a false narrative,' Antaya said. 'These bills are simply taking away opportunities from kids who are just trying to be themselves, who are just trying to live, who just want to play the sports they've grown up loving, and be a part of the team with their peers that they've grown up with.' The bills cleared the all male-member committee with no support from Democrats. SUBSCRIBE: GET THE MORNING HEADLINES DELIVERED TO YOUR INBOX

"Pretty clear it's a penalty," Golden Knights Livid With No-Call In Game 2 Overtime Loss
Edmonton Oilers left wing Viktor Arvidsson (33) trips Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Brayden McNabb (3) during an overtime period of game two of the second round of the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs at T-Mobile Arena. Mandatory Credit: Stephen R. Sylvanie-Imagn Images The Vegas Golden Knights were tied 4-4 in overtime of Game 2 against the Edmonton Oilers, but due to a missed call, instead of finding themselves on the power play, they exited T-Mobile Arena down 2-0 in the series. Advertisement The Golden Knights had just killed a five-minute power play after Nicolas Roy bizarrely cross-checked Trent Frederic in the face while trying to knock the puck out of the air. With momentum on their side, the Golden Knights continued their pursuit of finding the game-winner. When the puck was dumped into Brayden McNabb's corner, he shielded off Viktor Arvidsson, but an errant stick tripped McNabb, sending him into the boards. It took the 34-year-old a couple of seconds to gather himself and skate to the bench after the collision with the boards. He went directly to the locker room and did not return. Almost unbelievably, no call was made on the play and on the ensuing shift, Connor McDavid set up Leon Draisaitl for the game-winner. "He blew it, he missed the call, I don't know what else to say," said HC Bruce Cassidy. "It's a can-opener trip, it's a dangerous play, it's all those things, but it didn't get called, so you've got to keep playing." Advertisement Cassidy wasn't the only member of the Golden Knights to be outraged, as his emotions were reciprocated by the team's captain. "Pretty clear it's a penalty," said Mark Stone. "His stick is between McNabb's legs, he sends him head first into the boards, pretty clear cut penalty in my eyes and I think everybody's eyes." Although the Golden Knights felt they got the short end of the stick in overtime, already down in the series, they needed to find a way to remain focused and pull out the win. The opposite was done. Just 17 seconds later, an ill-advised pinch by Nicolas Hague put Jack Eichel in a one-on-one situation with McDavid, where he was beaten easily. "Nabber is one of our guys, probably one of the most popular teammates in the room, so that is a tough part of playing through it," said Cassidy. "It's not as easy as it looks, we're human, but at the end of the day, that's the task in front of you when those things happen or don't happen." Advertisement Cassidy did not have any updates on the health of McNabb following the game. With the series shifting to Edmonton, some may feel the series has already slipped out of the grasp for the Golden Knights. The Oilers are on a six-game winning streak, which includes a perfect 3-0 record at home in the postseason. But just last season, the Golden Knights stole two games back-to-back on the road from the Dallas Stars.
