It's now been two and a half years since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and opened the door for states to implement bans. > Philadelphia news 24/7: Watch NBC10 free wherever you are The policies and their impact have been in flux ever since the ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization. Here's a look at data on where things stand: Abortions are slightly more common now than before Dobbs Overturning Roe and enforcing abortion bans has changed how woman obtain abortions in the U.S. But one thing it hasn't done is put a dent in the number of abortions being obtained. There have been slightly more monthly abortions across the country recently than there were in the months leading up to the June 2022 ruling, even as the number in states with bans dropped to near zero. “Abortion bans don’t actually prevent abortions from happening,” said Ushma Upadhyay, a public health social scientist at the University of California San Francisco. But, she said, they do change care. For women in some states, there are major obstacles to getting abortions — and advocates say that low-income, minority and immigrant women are least likely to be able to get them when they want. For those living in states with bans, the ways to access abortion are through travel or abortion pills. Pills become a bigger part of equation — and the legal questions As the bans swept in, abortion pills became a bigger part of the equation. They were involved in about half the abortions before Dobbs. More recently, it’s been closer to two-thirds of them, according to research by the Guttmacher Institute. The uptick of that kind of abortion, usually involving a combination of two drugs, was underway before the ruling. But now, it's become more common for pill prescriptions to be made by telehealth. By the summer of 2024, about 1 in 10 abortions was via pills prescribed via telehealth to patients in states where abortion is banned. As a result, the pills are now at the center of battles over abortion access. This month, Texas sued a New York doctor for prescribing pills to a Texas woman via telemedicine. There's also an effort by Idaho , Kansas and Missouri to roll back their federal approvals and treat them as “controlled dangerous substances,” and a push for the federal government to start enforcing a 19th-century federal law to ban mailing them. Travel for abortion has increased Clinics have closed or halted abortions in states with bans. But a network of efforts to get women seeking abortions to places where they're legal has strengthened and travel for abortion is now common. The Guttmacher Institute found that more than twice as many Texas residents obtained abortion in 2023 in New Mexico as New Mexico residents did. And as many Texans received them in Kansas as Kansans. Abortion funds, which benefitted from “rage giving” in 2022, have helped pay the costs for many abortion-seekers. But some funds have had to cap how much they can give. The abortion map has been in flux Since the downfall of Roe, the actions of lawmakers and courts have kept shifting where abortion is legal and under what conditions. Here's where it stands now: The ban that took effect in Florida this year has been a game-changer Florida , the nation’s third most-populous state, began enforcing a ban on abortions after the first six weeks of pregnancy on May 1. That immediately changed the state from one that was a refuge for other Southerners seeking abortion to an exporter of people looking for them. There were about 30% fewer abortions there in May compared with the average for the first three months of the year. And in June, there were 35% fewer. While the ban is not unique, the impact is especially large. The average driving time from Florida to a facility in North Carolina where abortion is available for the first 12 weeks of pregnancy is more than nine hours, according to data maintained by Caitlin Myers, a Middlebury College economics professor. Clinics have opened or expanded in some places The bans have meant clinics closed or stopped offering abortions in some states. But some states where abortion remains legal until viability – generally considered to be sometime past 21 weeks of pregnancy, though there’s no fixed time for it – have seen clinics open and expand. Illinois , Kansas and New Mexico are among the states with new clinics. There were 799 publicly identifiable abortion providers in the U.S. in May 2022, the month before the Supreme Court reversed Roe v. Wade. And by this November, it was 792, according to a tally by Myers, who is collecting data on abortion providers. But Myers says some hospitals that always provided some abortions have begun advertising it. So they’re now in the count of clinics – even though they might provide few of them. Lack of access to abortions during emergencies is threatening some patients' lives How hospitals handle pregnancy complications, especially those that threaten the lives of the women, has emerged as a major issue since Roe was overturned. President Joe Biden's administration says hospitals must offer abortions when they're needed to prevent organ loss, hemorrhage or deadly infections, even in states with bans. Texas is challenging the administration’s policy and the U.S. Supreme Court this year declined to take it up after the Biden administration sued Idaho. More than 100 pregnant women seeking help in emergency rooms and were turned away or left unstable since 2022, The Associated Press found in an analysis of federal hospital investigative records. Among the complaints were a woman who miscarried in the lobby restroom of Texas emergency room after staff refused to see her and a woman who gave birth in a car after a North Carolina hospital couldn't offer an ultrasound. The baby later died. “It is increasingly less safe to be pregnant and seeking emergency care in an emergency department,” Dara Kass, an emergency medicine doctor and former U.S. Health and Human Services official told the AP earlier this year. Abortion rights are popular with voters Since Roe was overturned, there have been 18 reproductive rights-related statewide ballot questions. Abortion rights advocates have prevailed on 14 of them and lost on four. In the 2024 election, they amended the constitutions in five states to add the right to abortion. Such measures failed in three states: In Florida, where it required 60% support; in Nebraska , which had competing abortion ballot measures; and in South Dakota , where most national abortion rights groups did support the measure. AP VoteCast data found that more than three-fifths of voters in 2024 supported abortion being legal in all or most cases – a slight uptick from 2020. The support came even as voters supported Republicans to control the White House and both houses of Congress. ___ Associated Press writers Linley Sanders, Amanda Seitz and Laura Ungar contributed to this article.U.S. president-elect Donald Trump says he told Canadian hockey legend Wayne Gretzky during a Christmas Day visit that he should run for prime minister of Canada. “I just left Wayne Gretzky, ‘The Great One’ as he is known in ice-hockey circles,” Trump posted on his Truth Social platform Wednesday afternoon. “I said, ‘Wayne, why don’t you run for prime minister of Canada, soon to be known as the governor of Canada — you would win easily, you wouldn’t even have to campaign.’ He had no interest,” Trump wrote. His comment about being governor of Canada refers to Trump repeatedly suggesting the country become a U.S. state, which Ottawa insists is a joke. Trump added that it would be “fun to watch” if Canadians launched a movement to get the retired hockey player to seek office. The Canadian Press has tried to contact Gretzky through his agents. Experts have said that Ottawa is rightfully focused on the prospect of damaging tariffs under the looming Trump presidency instead of pushing back on rhetoric about annexing or purchasing Canada. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau leads a minority government that could be toppled by a confidence vote next year, following the surprise resignation of finance minister Chrystia Freeland. Trump also expressed Christmas greetings to Trudeau, again referring to him as a governor and claiming that Canadians would see a tax cut of more than 60 per cent if the country became an American state. “Their businesses would immediately double in size, and they would be militarily protected like no other country anywhere in the world,” Trump wrote in a post that also alluded to his desire to annex Greenland and the Panama Canal. Gretzky has previously backed Conservative politicians, such as former Ontario Progressive Conservative leader Patrick Brown during his run for the party leadership. During the 2015 federal election, Conservative leader Stephen Harper interviewed Gretzky in front of hundreds of supporters as the Tories unsuccessfully sought re-election. At the event, Gretzky told Harper he thought he had been an “unreal prime minister” who had been “wonderful to the whole country.” Gretzky later said he always follows a prime minister’s request, regardless of political stripe, noting he had once hosted a lunch for former Liberal prime minister Pierre Trudeau.

Just as Nova 106.9 was farewelling Susie O’Neill as a breakfast show regular comes news she not leaving the studios permanently. O’Neill is to extend her longstanding relationship with Nova Entertainment with a new role across the Nova Network in 2025. In a new contract, O’Neill will remain within the Nova Entertainment family, working on shows across the Nova Network as a guest presenter for both breakfast and national shows next year. Susie O’Neill on location for her final Brisbane breakfast show O’Neill will also join the Nova Podcast Network, working alongside the podcast team to develop unique content for Nova’s 2025 podcast slate. The final breakfast show from Susie with Ash and Lutty was broadcast this morning. It featured audio messages from a who’s who of Brisbane wishing the swimmer-turned-broadcaster all the best about what comes next. The final 2024 show was an outside broadcast and one lucky Nova listener won a new car. O’Neill is finishing a day early before the end of the 2024 survey year because she has a swimming event tonight in Sydney. Susie O’Neill and her Nova colleagues at her final breakfast show Said Susie about her new role, “It was such a hard decision to step away from the breakfast show and although my final day has been an emotional one, I’m really looking forward to starting this next chapter. This new opportunity in 2025 will allow me to remain with my Nova family while pursuing other goals, including getting back to the grass roots of sport and involving myself in the wider community. “To be able to step into this new role across broadcast and podcasting, where I can connect with a broader audience while still being part of the community that I love, is a fantastic opportunity. Nova has been there from the beginning of my radio career, so this feels like a natural next step. Watch this space!” Nova group programming director Brendan Taylor said: “Susie has been an integral part of the Nova Brisbane broadcasting family for 11 years and we’re delighted she’ll remain with us in this new capacity next year. The unique relationship she has with her audience and commitment to excellence meant there was always going to be more to explore together. We know our listeners across Australia will love hearing Susie on Nova in 2025.” The Ash, Luttsy & Nikki Osborne breakfast show launches on Monday, January 20, 2025. Nikki Osborne is the new co-host at Nova 106.9After more than 7 years of treatment for Parkinson's syndrome, trembling and stiffness are significantly reduced after robotic surgery 12-13-2024 10:58 PM CET | Health & Medicine Press release from: ABNewswire When it comes to Parkinson disease, many people think of Parkinson syndrome. In life, many people who do not have professional medical knowledge cannot clearly distinguish between these two diseases, and even confuse or completely equate them in many cases. .So what kind of disease is Parkinsonism and what are the specific effects it has on people?Today we will learn about it through a case. Image: https://ecdn6.globalso.com/upload/p/857/image_other/2024-10/h1-1.png Aunt Li is 68 years old this year. Seven years ago, there was no obvious cause for involuntary shaking of the lower left limb, which was a static tremor. She visited a hospital without a clear diagnosis and the drug treatment was ineffective.After half a year, it developed to the upper left limb and there was also a static tremor, slow movement, a slight stiffness of the limbs, and a loss of smell.Aunt Li, who has sought medical treatment for many times, developed involuntary shaking and stiffness of her limbs two years ago, and her movement was slow (difficult to start and slow to turn around). The symptoms were mainly on the left side. For further treatment, he came to our hospital.After a joint diagnosis by several experts in our hospital, it was found that Aunt Li is not a simple Parkinsonism, but belongs to Parkinsonism syndrome. There is an essential difference between the two.Parkinsonism also includes other diseases caused by other reasons that are similar to the symptoms of Parkinsonism.After fully communicating with Aunt Li herself and her family, it was decided that Professor Tian Zengmin would perform robotic stereotactic surgery for her to solve the problem of shaking and slow movement of the left limb.The difference between Parkinsonism and Parkinsonism1 Different age of onsetParkinsonism can occur in any age group, and the youngest patient with Parkinsonism that our hospital has ever treated is only 26 years old.Parkinson's disease usually develops in middle-aged and elderly people. In recent years, with the increase of social pressure, it has also shown a trend of youth.2 Different clinical manifestationsClinically, in addition to the same manifestations as Parkinson's disease such as slow movement, sluggish expression, increased muscle tone, tremor, etc., Parkinson's syndrome often has the same manifestations left over from the original onset. The 26-year-old juvenile patient with Parkinson's syndrome mentioned earlier is also accompanied by hereditary spastic paraplegia.The imaging manifestations of Parkinson's disease are not characteristic, while Parkinson's syndrome often has corresponding changes or characteristic changes.3The etiology and pathogenesis are different.The pathological changes of Parkinson's disease are mainly due to the degeneration of dopamine neurons in the melanoplasm of the midbrain, so that they cannot produce enough dopamine and become ill.On the other hand, Parkinson's syndrome is a syndrome of known etiology. The pathological changes in the brain are caused by lesions of the brain, the melanoplasm and striatum pathways of the midbrain, and degeneration of dopamine neurons, resulting in insufficient production of dopamine or inability to transmit dopamine to maintain normal nerve function. Caused.4 Different treatments.The treatment of Parkinsonism is not the same as the treatment of Parkinsonism. Early drug treatment has a better effect on Parkinsonism, but the effect on Parkinsonism is poor.Technical introduction. Robotic stereotactic surgery.In 2019, Nuolai International Medical Center introduced robot-assisted frameless brain stereotactic surgery. With the help of medical image scanning, three-dimensional visualization, multi-modal image fusion and other technologies, the brain lesion area can be accurately found.After planning the puncture path to accurately reach the surgical target, and solving the lesion problem through thermal coagulation, biological therapy, etc., brain diseases can be fundamentally treated, and the effect is very mature and successful.Technical advantage.Compared with the trauma caused by traditional craniotomy, frameless brain stereotactic surgery has the advantages of scientific and technological innovation in four aspects: minimally invasive, accurate, efficient and safe.The entire operation takes only 30 minutes, the wound is only 2-3 mm, and the positioning accuracy reaches 1 mm. After 2-3 days of postoperative observation, you can be discharged from the hospital.The risk rate of surgery such as infection and bleeding is much lower than 1%, and it has obvious effects on nearly 100 kinds of extranasal diseases such as cerebral palsy, epilepsy, cerebral hemorrhage, and Parkinsonism.

The patient and his family were very satisfied with the treatment effect. Media Contact Company Name: Nuolai Biomedical Technology Co., Ltd.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Jurors in New Mexico have awarded a man more than $412 million in a medical malpractice case that involved a men’s health clinic that operates in several states. The man’s attorneys celebrated Monday’s verdict, saying they are hopeful it will prevent other men from falling victim to a scheme that involved fraud and what they described as dangerous penile injections. They said the jury award for punitive and compensatory damages is likely the largest in history for a medical malpractice case. The award follows a trial held in Albuquerque earlier this month that centered on allegations outlined in a lawsuit filed by the man's attorneys in 2020. NuMale Medical Center and company officials were named as defendants. According to the complaint, the man was 66 when he visited the clinic in 2017 in search of treatment for fatigue and weight loss. The clinic is accused of misdiagnosing him and unnecessarily treating him with “invasive erectile dysfunction shots” that caused irreversible damage. Listen now and subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | RSS Feed | SoundStack | All Of Our Podcasts “This out of state medical corporation set up a fraudulent scheme to make millions off of conning old men by scaring them with a fake test,” Nick Rowley, the man's attorney, wrote in a social media post that detailed the verdict. Rowley went on to say that the scheme involved clinic workers telling patients they would have irreversible damage if they didn't agree to injections three times a week. NuMale Medical Center President Brad Palubicki said in a statement issued Tuesday that the company is committed to high-quality and safe patient care. He said NuMale disagrees with the verdict and intend to pursue all available legal remedies, including an appeal. A message seeking additional comment was left Wednesday with the company and its attorney. NuMale also has clinics in Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Nevada, Nebraska, North Carolina and Wisconsin. According to court records, jurors found that fraudulent and negligent conduct by the defendants resulted in damages to the plaintiff. They also found that unconscionable conduct by the defendants violated the Unfair Practices Act.
