1 / Hydroxychloroquine trial resumed

世卫将恢复羟氯喹试验

The World Health Organization (WHO) said on Wednesday that it will resume trials of anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine as a potential treatment of COVID-19 after having previously announced a temporary pause early last week.

世界卫生组织6月3日表示，将恢复抗疟疾药羟氯喹治疗新冠病毒的试验，上周早些时候世卫组织暂时叫停了相关试验。

"On the basis of the available mortality data, the members of the Trial's Data Safety and Monitoring Committee recommended that there are no reasons to modify the trial protocol," WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said. "

世卫组织总干事谭德塞称，基于现有病亡率数据，安全性数据监控委员会的成员认为，没有理由修改试验方案。

The executive group received this recommendation and endorsed continuation of all arms of the Solidarity Trial, including hydroxychloroquine." 

执行小组接纳了该委员会的意见，同意继续进行"团结试验项目"所有分支试验，包括羟氯喹试验。

WHO's announcement of a temporary halt, made on May 25, came after a paper published in medical journal The Lancet showed that people taking hydroxychloroquine were at higher risk of death and heart problems than those who were not.

5月25日，世卫组织宣布暂时叫停羟氯喹抗新冠病毒试验，此前医学期刊《柳叶刀》上发表的一篇论文显示，与不服用羟氯喹的人相比，服用羟氯喹的人出现死亡和心脏问题的风险更高。

脸书增加'洗白过去'功能

Facebook is to allow users to clean up their profiles by hiding posts and photographs dating from when they were teenagers or at university amid fears it could hinder their future job prospects. 

社交网络脸书将允许用户清理自己的个人资料，将青少年或大学时期上传的一些可能会阻碍求职前程的帖子和照片隐藏起来。

The social network said it had added the feature because "we know things change in people's lives" and that it wished to make it easier for people to "accurately reflect" who they are in the present. 

脸书表示，增加这一功能是因为"我们知道人生会发生改变"，希望能有助于人们"准确地反映出"自己现在是个什么样的人。
