Depending on the exact issues involved, someone with CAKUT might have a condition that only causes symptoms later in life. On the other hand, a more serious problem could cause a life-threatening issue from infancy. Although many people are more familiar with other kinds of congenital abnormalities (like congenital heart issues), congenital abnormalities of the kidney and urinary tract are the most common kind of congenital birth defect, affecting roughly 1 in 500 babies born....

A severe diaphragmatic hernia can allow an entire organ or organs to slip in to the chest, through the hole or defect. In most cases, a diaphragmatic hernia is an emergency, requiring immediate surgical treatment. This is because the heart and lungs have difficulty filling and providing the body with oxygen because of the crowding of the chest cavity. A newborn with this type of hernia may have lips that appear bluish, due to a lack of oxygen....

Enhanced unemployment benefits of $600 per week finished last weekend. The federal eviction moratorium ended July 24. Yet Republicans and Democrats took turns Thursday blocking one another’s stimulus bills on the Senate floor like a game of legislative ping-pong while millions of Americans waited for news about whether the supplement to their jobless checks would be extended. And lawmakers went home for their usual long weekend without any kind of stimulus deal, prompting skepticism from a growing number of members that a bipartisan solution will ever be reached....

Over the last 20 years, both laws have been used to justify military actions disconnected from their original intent. These laws—unmodified since their original passage—have sanctioned combat operations in at least 19 countries. Successive congresses have abdicated their constitutionally prescribed role in foreign policy, allowing four presidential administrations to exploit the 2001 and 2002 AUMFs and stretch their Article II authorities. Multiple military conflicts have been expanded or initiated with minimal congressional oversight and debate....

CHC chair Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-Texas) told The Hill that U.S. officials should do “the basic thing for people who are ill or could get ill” by giving migrants flu shots during flu season, as well as providing improved medical treatment. “This is a matter of life and death whether the administration is willing to administer this flu shot,” Castro said. The call for action on vaccines and improved medical treatment for migrants was sparked in part by concern over conditions which advocates claim have resulted in the deaths of a number of detained migrant children....

“A man DM’d I should be shot,” Swalwell wrote in a Thursday evening tweet. “For my family’s safety, I asked Twitter for help ID’ing him. When Twitter fell short (thanks for trying!) I asked the guy his name (stringing him a bit) & why he threatened me. Meet Jeremy Marshall who told me he was radicalized by Tucker Carlson.” Swalwell’s tweet included screenshots of his direct message exchange with the man....

“Any Republican who would vote ‘yes’ on the articles of impeachment, and we all know that there are some who would like to do that, they will privately acknowledge it sometimes, but that if they do, they will be punished,” Heck, who represents Washington’s 10th District, said during a Thursday interview with CNN. “Indeed, by the president they’ll be viciously punished.” Newsweek reached out via email to Heck’s media contact and to the White House press office for comment on Heck’s assertions....

“Why in God’s name is any Democrat trying to lower the bar when the president himself says to this day, the call [between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy] was perfect?” Maloney responded Wednesday, when asked about the censure suggestion during an interview with CNN. The representative also pointed out that Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani was just in Ukraine again “furthering this scheme to fix the next election.” He also noted that “not a single Republican in the House is willing to step up and say, you know, what the president did constitutes an impeachable offense....

Noor Abukaram, a runner for Northview High School in Sylvania, Ohio, was told that her times from school-sanctioned 5K race last Saturday would not count, local TV station WTOL reported. The 16-year-old told WTOL that before the race, her teammate had been warned that her shorts were not in accordance with the required uniform and that she needed to change in order to run. Abukaram said it wasn’t until after the race that she was told her hijab was out of uniform, and Abukaram was disqualified....

Michelle Carter was sentenced to 15 months in prison after being convicted of involuntary manslaughter related to the death of her boyfriend Conrad Roy. Now her sentence could be reduced by two months – from a May 2020 release to March 2020. In an upcoming segment on Dr. Oz, Roy’s mother, Lynn Roy, said she “doesn’t think about” Carter when questioned if a shorter sentence is appropriate. “It is what it is....

Acting to fill the gap created by Jonathan Walters’ Achilles injury, O’Neill opted against replacing the Stoke City striker with James McClean in a straight swap. McClean and Shane Long were thus denied the opportunity to reprise the high-pressing double act that featured strongly in tournament warm-up friendlies against Slovakia and Belarus in recent months. Instead, the Ireland manager chose to replace Walters with Burnley left back Stephen Ward, a decision which shunted Robbie Brady forward, to play on the left of a very narrow midfield four....

Tribe, who has written extensively on impeachment, its role in preserving a fair government and its role in the Constitution, made the remarks during a guest appearance on All In with Chris Hayes. Tribe and Hayes discussed the ongoing impeachment proceedings against Trump, against whom congressional Democrats brought articles of impeachment alleging abuse of power and obstruction of Congress on Wednesday. According to Tribe, Trump’s repeated requests of Ukraine to launch a public investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden, a Democratic candidate in the 2020 presidential race, embodied the wrongful use of the office that the writers of the Constitution meant to be cause for impeachment....

Under-21 coach Di Biagio was appointed on an interim basis following the sacking of Gian Piero Ventura after the Azzurri failed to reach the World Cup for the first time since 1958, losing a play-off against Sweden in November. Costacurta has mentioned many potential candidates, the former Italy defender previously appearing to indicate Chelsea coach Antonio Conte was the top target for the FIGC. Sevilla’s Vincenzo Montella has confirmed his interest, with Carlo Ancelotti and Zenit coach Roberto Mancini among the other names reported to be in the frame....

The Blues are in poor form, having lost 3-0 to Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge before Watford triumphed 4-1 against them at Vicarage Road. Chelsea’s game against West Brom on Monday could be pivotal to Conte’s future and, after saying everyone at the Blues is responsible for the club’s current problems, he acknowledged he has done poorly at landing transfer targets. “My task is to try and improve every single player, in every aspect,” Conte said....

Pep Guardiola’s side, who beat Chelsea 1-0 last month, have opened a commanding eight-point lead at the top after just 11 games. Chelsea 16/1 for PL title Manchester United and Tottenham are the nearest chasers, while Conte’s champions sit a further point back in fourth. Conte suggested City’s heavy off-season investment had made the difference in the title race. “Manchester City are playing very well and it’s very difficult to think that you can catch them because, if they continue in this way, it will be very difficult for any team to try and fight for the title,” Conte said ahead of Chelsea’s trip to West Brom....

Alves agrees two-year Man City deal Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia appears to have mended the temporary rift with Conte on Sunday as she addressed the issues of transfers and a new contract. Conte will become the seventh highest paid manager in the world and the third highest in England after verbally agreeing to the fresh terms, which comes off the back of initial doubts about whether he would remain at the Premier League champions after news emerged in Italy that he was unhappy with how Chelsea’s transfer business was being handled....

The Blues have sorely missed the Spanish striker, highlighted by Conte’s side’s recent 2-1 loss to Premier League whipping boys Crystal Palace. Morata 11/4 first scorer v Roma Morata, who made a stellar start to life in London before picking up an injury, is now available for selection, however, meaning the Italian will not have to turn to untrusted Michy Batshuayi once again. “Alvaro is in contention for tomorrow’s game,” Conte told the press....

The Manchester United manager claimed after his side’s victory over Watford that the Blues would not let their position at the top of the Premier League slip because of their conservative style of play and focus on counterattacking and set pieces. Conte: A point is disappointing Notably absent from Mourinho’s assessment was praise of the forward play that has seen Chelsea score 14 goals more than United so far this season, but Conte would not be drawn into a dispute following his team’s 1-1 draw with Burnley....

The Blues were able to shut out their opponents for the fourth successive league match, with goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois only called into action on one occasion to deny Saido Berahino. At the other end the Blues were in fine form, with Antonio Rudiger, Danny Drinkwater and Pedro giving them a 3-0 lead after 23 minutes. Willian and Davide Zappacosta added a touch of gloss to proceedings with late goals to leave Conte content with his side’s end to the calendar year....
