The pediatric cardiology department at SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital is a comprehensive center for children with heart defects.  The program was recently ranked as one of the best cardiology and heart surgery programs in the country by U.S. News & World Report. One of the many reasons for this distinction is the Cardio THRIVE program, that transitions pediatric cardiology patients into their adult program and helps pediatric patients learn how to advocate and carry forward their heart care with a team of adult cardiologists.   Cardinal Glennon cardiologists team up with SSM Health St. Louis University Hospital cardiology teams to offer a continuum of support for each patient. SLUCare pediatric cardiologist, Dr. Ugonna Nwankwo says, "under this one roof, we have both the transition program, pediatric cardiology, and also adult congenital physicians."  The Cardio THRIVE program handles a range of heart issues.  Patients typically come in ...

The best baguette is the one you make yourself

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:21:14 GMT

By Claire Saffitz, The New York TimesI know what many of you are going to say when I suggest making baguettes at home: “Why?”I hear you. Really. If you happen to live near a top-notch bread bakery, or if you just don’t enjoy time in the kitchen, it may not be worth the effort. But I know many others — those who, like me, find project baking an exciting and productive way to spend part of a weekend — will be amazed at how fun and rewarding the process can be.Among technical breads, baguettes are well suited for home baking because they’re typically made with commercial yeast rather than sourdough starter. This means there’s no maintaining a starter and feeding it in advance before you can start. In fact, the entire ingredient list couldn’t be simpler: flour, water, yeast, salt.With so few ingredients, a successful baguette, with a thin, ultra-crisp crust and holey, creamy-tasting interior, hinges on flour selection. You want a flour that will facilitate enough gluten developmen...

The devices would photograph the license plates of drivers going 11 miles per hour or more over the speed limit in any given area.  While speed cameras are currently illegal in the state, a proposed bill could change all that. If it becomes law, a pilot program using speed cameras would kick off in Los Angeles, Glendale and Long Beach in January.  “They’re putting people’s lives in danger, so I think enough is enough. Stop speeding, please,” said Joshua Mora, a victim of a hit-and-run accident.  Mora, 13, had his leg amputated after a motorcycle rider hit him in Boyle Heights as he was crossing the street. While Mora has said he’s grateful to have escaped death, others have not been as lucky.  “According to the National Transportation Safety Board, speeding is a factor in 31% of all traffic fatalities,” California Assemblyme...
