Soon after, the mother’s syphilis test — given to all women before delivery — came back positive. In 2022, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported more than 200,000 syphilis cases — the highest counts since 1950. Spreading the word about syphilisSome public health departments have launched eye-popping awareness campaigns, trying to raise the alarm among both the public and health care providers. Make syphilis testing convenientBeyond greater awareness, access to testing and treatment needs to be quick, easy and convenient, Chokshi said. But permanently bending the syphilis curve will require scaling these efforts nationally and promoting greater coordination between health care and public health.

☆ College Protests Over Gaza Deepen Democratic Rifts

Nearly seven months after the Israel-Hamas war began, the demonstrations convulsing college campuses nationwide are exposing fresh tensions within the Democratic Party over how to balance free speech protections and support for Gazans with concerns that some Jewish Americans are raising about antisemitism. From New York and Los Angeles to Atlanta and Austin, a surge in student activism has manifested in protest encampments and other demonstrations, drawing significant police crackdowns and sometimes appearing to attract outside agitators. The protests also have emerged as the latest flashpoint in the internal Democratic debate over the war. “The real question is, can the Democrats again portray themselves as the steady hand at the helm?” said Dan Sena, a veteran Democratic strategist. “Things that create national chaos like this make that harder to do.”

SARAJEVO (Reuters) - The trial of Bosnian Serb separatist leader Milorad Dodik on charges of defying the rulings of an international peace envoy formally begun on Monday after delays due to his protests against judges he said were biased and other complaints. The trial is taking place at Bosnia´s state court in the capital Sarajevo. The state court dismissed Bubic's earlier requests for eight judges to be exempted from the case over alleged political biases against Dodik. Asked if he has understood the indictment, Dodik said he did not understand any part of it and that it represented a "distortion of facts". "It has not been backed by a single fact, it was done under political pressure by incompetent prosecutors," Dodik told the judge.

New YorkI came to Manhattan in 1990 because I was young and ambitious. To my good fortune, a humming economy and effective policing techniques based on the broken-windows theory made it relatively easy for me to start a family and a business here. Today, however, it feels as if the conditions that made New York a destination for businesses and families in the 1990s are no more.

☆ Republicans struggle in the Southwest as Latino voters stick with Democrats
▼ + stars: | 2022-12-11 | by ( Natasha Korecki | Natasha Korecki Is A Senior National Political Reporter For Nbc News. | ) www.nbcnews.com time to read: +10 min

It belies a conventional narrative that Democrats were universally ceding Latino voters to the Republican Party, a story line repeated throughout the run-up to the Nov. 8 midterms. Instead, indicators show the GOP in danger of losing Latino voters in this region, a prospect that could mean being boxed out of the Southwest for the long term. In New Mexico, the state with the most residents identifying as Hispanic or Latino in the country, Latino Democrats won nearly every statewide race. Even with some Latino voters staying home, NBC News exit polling showed that Cortez Masto won more than 60% of that vote. Still, there’s plenty of danger signs for Democrats when it comes to Latino voters, particularly among men.

“To win a World Cup for Portugal was the biggest and most ambitious dream of my career,” Ronaldo wrote on Instagram on Sunday. “Fortunately, I won a lot of titles of international dimension, including Portugal, but to put the name of our country in the highest level in the world was my biggest dream. I never faced away from the fight and I never gave up on that dream.”It is likely the 37-year-old’s final appearance at a World Cup. However, his benching by Santos and his recent contract termination from Manchester United, which was announced just after the World Cup started, arguably overshadowed Ronaldo’s time at Qatar 2022, a tournament where he scored just one goal. “Thank you, Portugal.

Autoritățile locale le-au cerut companiilor private care închiriază trotinete electrice în capitala Franței să limiteze viteza dispozitivelor și să nu permită parcarea lor în zonele rezervate pietonilor. La începutul acestei luni, o femeie în vârstă de 31 de ani a murit după ce a fost doborâtă de o persoană care mergea pe o trotinetă electrică. Trotinetele electrice au devenit un mijloc de transport popular, în parte datorită impactului lor scăzut asupra mediului. În Paris, aproximativ 20.000 de trotinete electrice, care pot depăși 50 de kilometri pe oră, sunt acum disponibile pentru închiriere. În 2019, guvernul francez a introdus reguli pentru trotinetele electrice, după ce au avut loc sute de incidente, inclusiv câteva decese.

Dincolo de astrologie, Nostradamus a fost un faimos medic, cabalist (o metodă, disciplină și școală de gândire ezoterică, care își are originea în iudaism) și farmacist francez. Universitatea şi-a închis porţile, iar Nostradamus a plecat să-şi găsească un rost. În cazurile celor care sufereau de forme incipiente ale bolii, tratamentul lui Nostradamus a făcut minuni. Totodată, Nostradamus a scăpat de acuzaţii şi chiar a avut o relaţie destul de bună cu Biserica. În orice caz, Nostradamus a devenit deosebit de faimos în Franţa.
