Local Health (Finland): Natural Resources Institute Finland (Luke) is investigating widespread birch leaf loss in southern areas, including around Helsinki and along roadsides, with drought, temperature swings, road salt and soil compaction suspected but the exact cause still unknown. Health Policy (Global): The US CMS proposed stronger Medicare home health enforcement, including making more revocations retroactive to the start of noncompliance, aiming to protect patients and reduce fraud.
