Human Rabies [Silent] (Cook County Hospital, 1929)

This production features four children from age two-and-a-half to nine years in order to show the clinical signs and symptoms associated with human rabies. 

Prior to the presentation of each case, a brief written description of the patient's pertinent medical history, symptoms, clinical course, and treatment is shown. Dog bites appeared to be responsible for the rabies in all four cases. The four cases differed in the length of the incubation period and in the severity of the symptoms affecting the central nervous system. All four cases died within hours or days following hospital admission.

Lawmakers Demand Answers on Treasury Department Cyber Breach

Image
In December 2024, the U.S. Treasury Department experienced a significant cybersecurity breach attributed to Chinese state-sponsored hackers. The attackers exploited vulnerabilities in a third-party security service, BeyondTrust, to gain unauthorized access to Treasury workstations and unclassified documents. Upon discovering the breach on December 8, the Treasury Department promptly disabled the compromised service and initiated an investigation in collaboration with the FBI and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). Preliminary findings suggest that the hackers, identified as an Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) group linked to China, did not access classified information, and there is no evidence of ongoing unauthorized access.

Senator Tim Scott, a member of the Senate Ba...

President-elect Donald Trump is scheduled to be sentenced on January 10, 2025, in New York for 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to hush money payments made during the 2016 election. This sentencing date falls just ten days before his inauguration. The charges stem from payments made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels to conceal an "alleged" affair, with the intent to influence the 2016 presidential election. In May 2024, a jury convicted Trump on all counts. Judge Juan Merchan has indicated that Trump is unlikely to face imprisonment, fines, or probation. An "unconditional discharge" is anticipated, meaning Trump would have a felony conviction without additional penalties. Trump has the option to attend the sentencing in person or virtually. Trump's legal team sought to dismiss the case, citing presidential immunity, but the judge ruled that such immunity does not apply to a president-elect. They plan to appeal the conviction and may see...
