MetLife Stadium temporarily changes its name for World Cup

We’re seeing big changes at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey — all in preparation for the World Cup. The famous stadium is changing its name to New York New Jersey Stadium – ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup — which will be played out in stadiums across Mexico, Canada and the United States. On Monday, Chopper 4 flew over the stadium and saw the new signs going up. FIFA requires participating stadiums to remove pre-existing branding during the World Cup since it does not allow venues with corporate-sponsored names or logos. As a result, stadiums use generic city or regional names when hosting world cup games. The New York New Jersey Stadium will hold several World Cup matches and the July 19 final. Be sure to catch every match and exciting moment live in Spanish on Telemundo and Peacock starting June 11!

Urine test can predict likelihood of progression to severe dengue disease

Scientists led by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, have discovered that specific proteins in urine can accurately predict the likelihood of dengue patients developing severe dengue. The findings could help doctors assess if a dengue patient can be sent home for recovery or if they require hospitalization for further treatment, prioritizing care for those who need it most as well as easing the burden on health care resources.
