Unlocking the Mysteries of Newborn Childhood Diseases

from Cityscape

It’s estimated that between 25 and 30 million Americans live with a rare disease. In the United States, a rare disease is defined as a condition that affects fewer than 200,000 people.    On this week's Cityscape, we're meeting a Bronx doctor who has devoted her life to identifying rare diseases in children. Dr. Melissa Wasserstein is chief of Pediatric Genetic Medicine at the Children’s Hospital at Montefiore and professor of Pediatrics and Genetics at Albert Einstein College of Medicine.

Shamisen Lofi Hip Hop 🌆🎤 Autumn Rain on Bamboo Asian Serenity 🎋 Drift away as ancient silk strings meet modern beats, where feudal Japan whispers through the rain of today's cityscape 🌧️ Soundscapes NYC Ryan Purcell The Seventies was a calamitous decade, a low point in the history of New York City. City Hall continually failed to balance budgets and turned to austerity, privatization, and sheer negligence when it came to running city services. Roads disintegrated, buildings and overpasses collapsed, garbage piled high, and crime ran rampant. The city literally crumbled under the weight of austerity.  At the same time, underground culture surged with energy, from subway graffiti to experimental theater and gay bars. Musical artists embedded in the urban fabric turned to their craft with gusto. They formed loose networks of like-minded artists who made and appreciated particular styles of music. Their world during this period, at times, reflected the disintegrating cityscape. At other times, their music celebrated the social constraints let loose in a time of crisis, when the city seemed to be falling apart.  Soundscapes is a podcast about how music created in New York The Art Cityscape Springville City Why does Springville, Utah have an art museum?
