1+ hour, 20+ min ago (205+ words) A San Diego medical technology company received FDA approval this morning for a device that could transform how patients get blood tests done. The FDA approved Truvian's new Tru-Verus machine, which can run nearly three dozen common blood tests right in a doctor's office. The approval means patients won't have to make separate appointments at labs and can receive results in minutes rather than days. The device allows patients to discuss their test results with their doctor immediately during their appointment, eliminating the need for follow-up visits or waiting for email notifications. "People don't regularly go get their blood tests done because it's inconvenient and it's not accessible and it costs money, and so we've been working to bring down all of those barriers through this technology, and through the technology, we can now democratize blood testing," Truvian founder Dena…...

2+ hour, 19+ min ago (874+ words) The need for remedial math education at UC San Diego has soared over the last five years according to a report published this month by the university's Senate Administration Workgroup on Admissions. "The number of students who are not able to perform at high school level increased, and even the number of students who can't perform at middle school level increased enormously," said Akos Rona-Tas, co-chair of the workgroup and a professor of sociology. In 2020, university data show 1 in 200 incoming students needed remedial math. This year that number is about 1 in 8 students. The report lists a wide range of factors contributing to this change. "One of those causes is COVID which had a detrimental effect on K-12 education," Rona-Tas said. The report also cites the elimination of SAT and ACT requirements, high school grade inflation and changes to the admissions process…...

6+ hour, 49+ min ago (305+ words) CARLSBAD, Calif. (KGTV) " Carlsbad could become the latest city in San Diego County to set age restrictions for electric bikes as safety concerns continue to mount across the region. The Carlsbad City Council will consider new e-bike regulations Tuesday afternoon, potentially establishing a minimum age requirement for certain types of electric bikes capable of reaching speeds up to 20 miles per hour. The proposed changes follow the passage of Assembly Bill 2234, which gives cities in San Diego County's unincorporated areas the authority to set their own minimum age requirements for e-bike riders. Over the summer, the Carlsbad City Council asked the city manager, police chief and city attorney to develop ideas to improve e-bike enforcement. In September, more than 550 community comments were submitted, with most supporting a minimum age of 12 and many requesting additional rules and restrictions. Carlsbad's consideration follows Coronado's…...

Head Coach Mikey Varas reflected on the disappointing finish after two days to process the defeat that ended the team's remarkable playoff run. "I'll think about the first 11 minutes for a long time," Varas said in comments on Monday from team headquarters at the Sharp Healthcare Performance Center in El Cajon. The coach believes his team played well after giving up two quick goals in the opening minutes, but it was simply too much to overcome against Vancouver.

19+ hour, 8+ min ago (948+ words) As ICE continues to arrest people in San Diego during their green card interviews, the final step in a legal pathway, some of the people taken into custody have been spouses of military members and veterans, including one who said he felt "betrayed" after serving for decades in the U.S. Marine Corps. ICE has repeatedly said these arrests, which began Nov. 12, are for overstaying visas. But multiple immigration attorneys contend that's never been an issue before, with an exception in federal law for direct relatives of U.S. citizens, including spouses, who are going through the green card process. "I kind of feel betrayed, to be honest," said Samuel Shasteen, a retired Staff Sergeant who said he spent 20 years with the Marines, including two deployments to Afghanistan. "We do everything that we can to protect and serve our country. And then they betray…...
