  Women in the U.S. are significantly more likely to die while waiting on a liver transplant. The results come from a large cohort study that looked at sex-based disparities among women and men who received liver donation from living and deceased donors. "Our findings suggest that the MELD [model for end-stage liver disease] score does not accurately estimate disease severity in women and that the lack of consideration of candidate anthropomorphic and liver measurements in the current allocation system may have a greater association with the sex disparity in liver allocation than geographic factors," the researchers wrote in their study in JAMA Surgery.

  Seth Sandronsky Business Management, Services & Risk Management

  Employers added 2.5 million nonfarm jobs in May after April's 20.5 million layoffs, according to the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Instead, the labor market improved due to a partial resuming of economic activity after its curtailment in March and April to slow the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, some areas of the economy did not rebound in May.
