Centers for Disease Control and Prevention refuses to count four measles deaths in the state though doctors are ‘seeing new forms’ of disease The US Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) updated its measles dashboard on Friday – but it’s still not counting four measles deaths in Pennsylvania, where the outbreak appears to be accelerating and cases are appearing in ways providers have never seen before. Members of Congress on Monday requested an “immediate briefing” on the decision to change how measles deaths are reported as cases continue to rise throughout the United States, reaching levels not seen in decades.

Inside Climate News•By Jessica Klein22 SeptPHILADELPHIA — A federal court in Pennsylvania allowed a former graduate student to pursue privacy and intentional infliction of emotional distress claims against a Penn State professor who published details of the student’s childhood sexual abuse without his consent. He plausibly argued the professor encouraged him to share about his abuse in confidential seminars and knew the information was highly sensitive but published it and named him in her book anyway. Related claims against the university are dismissed because it did not publish the book and its promotion of the book did not itself disclose the student’s abuse.

Participants in Pittsburgh may never learn the results of their cognitive tests – and funding cuts that target ‘DEI’ have the potential to delay vital diagnoses Roderick Blair was surprised when scientific researchers appeared on his doorstep in the Homewood neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Here, on a recent summer day, police cars, an ambulance and a TV reporter crowded into a driveway on the edge of the neighborhood. A helicopter swung overhead. Saplings peeked over rooflines from gutters, windows were broken, screens tattered, doors boarded up and rippling sidewalks crumbled. Bedraggled chain link fences held back the season’s tall grass.
