Children with Down syndrome often undergo extensive medical tests, including imaging, that may use ionizing radiation. At the same time, genetic disorders like Down syndrome have an established increased risk of certain cancers, making exposure to radiation early in life less than ideal. Until recently, little research had been done to measure typical imaging radiation exposure rates for children with Down syndrome. A recent study by UC Davis Health researchers quantifies those rates of exposure.

BROWNSVILLE, United States — The United States is girding for the arrival of thousands of migrants this week, with the expiry of pandemic-era rules that have made claiming asylum at the border all-but impossible. The country's deep divisions over immigration are expected to be laid bare as a wave of people try to get a foothold in a place founded on the promise of safety and shelter, but where a rising tide of nationalism makes the welcome uncertain. Some migrants escaping economic and political turmoil have already arrived, frustrated by the years-long lack of a legal pathway, squeezing through the holes that pockmark the 3,100-kilometer (1,900-mile) border between the world's wealthiest country and its southern neighbor.

A suburban Detroit police officer is being praised as a hero for saving the life of an 18-month-old boy after he stopped a car for speeding. Warren Police Department Officer Brenden Fraser said the car was going an estimated 75-80 miles per hour on Tuesday. The boy's mother said the baby was dying, and Fraser saw him turning blue with his eyes rolled back. It looked like he was choking, so the officer hit the child's back firmly a few times. That freed the blockage and got the boy breathing again.

China has deployed a buoy vessel to the West Philippine Sea, according to ship tracking data, just days after the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) placed navigational buoys at Philippine-claimed features in the contested waters. It was not immediately clear why China deployed its largest beacon vessel, the 73-meter-long Haixun173, to the area. According to a state-run report by China Global Television Network during the ship's commissioning in 2020, the vessel is mainly responsible for setting up buoys and conducting patrols and inspections in the South China Sea.
