Two people died in a small plane crash near New Orleans on Friday, including a TV news anchor.According to the City of New Orleans, the crash took place at 3 p.m. on Friday near the city's lakefront. New Orleans' fire department extinguished a small fire. The city confirmed that the FAA and NTSB are investigating the crash.Nancy Parker, a reporter for New Orleans TV station WVUE, and the plane's pilot, were killed. WVUE said that Parker had been a reporter with the station for 23 years. WVUE reported that the plane was a 1983 Pitts S-2B, and had crashed a half mile from New Orleans International Airport. 623

Two centuries after its invention, the stethoscope — the very symbol of the medical profession — is facing an uncertain prognosis.It is threatened by hand-held devices that are also pressed against the chest but rely on ultrasound technology, artificial intelligence and smartphone apps instead of doctors’ ears to help detect leaks, murmurs, abnormal rhythms and other problems in the heart, lungs and elsewhere. Some of these instruments can yield images of the beating heart or create electrocardiogram graphs.Dr. Eric Topol, a world-renowned cardiologist, considers the stethoscope obsolete, nothing more than a pair of “rubber tubes.”It “was OK for 200 years,” Topol said. But “we need to go beyond that. We can do better.”In a longstanding tradition, nearly every U.S. medical school presents incoming students with a white coat and stethoscope to launch their careers. It’s more than symbolic — stethoscope skills are still taught, and proficiency is required for doctors to get their licenses.Over the last decade, though, the tech industry has downsized ultrasound scanners into devices resembling TV remotes. It has also created digital stethoscopes that can be paired with smartphones to create moving pictures and readouts.Proponents say these devices are nearly as easy to use as stethoscopes and allow doctors to watch the body in motion and actually see things such as leaky valves. “There’s no reason you would listen to sounds when you can see everything,” Topol said.At many medical schools, it’s the newer devices that really get students’ hearts pumping.“Wow!” ″Whoa!” ″This is awesome,” Indiana University medical students exclaimed in a recent class as they learned how to use a hand-held ultrasound device on a classmate, watching images of his lub-dubbing heart on a tablet screen.The Butterfly iQ device, made by based by Guilford, Connecticut-based Butterfly Network Inc., went on the market last year. An update will include artificial intelligence to help users position the probe and interpret the images.Students at the Indianapolis-based medical school, one of the nation’s largest, learn stethoscope skills but also get training in hand-held ultrasound in a program launched there last year by Dr. Paul Wallach, an executive associate dean. He created a similar program five years ago at the Medical College of Georgia and predicts that within the next decade, hand-held ultrasound devices will become part of the routine physical exam, just like the reflex hammer.The devices advance “our ability to take peek under the skin into the body,” he said. But Wallach added that, unlike some of his colleagues, he isn’t ready to declare the stethoscope dead. He envisions the next generation of physicians wearing “a stethoscope around the neck and an ultrasound in the pocket.”Modern-day stethoscopes bear little resemblance to the first stethoscope, invented in the early 1800s by Frenchman Rene Laennec, but they work essentially the same way.Laennec’s creation was a hollow tube of wood, almost a foot long, that made it easier to hear heart and lung sounds than pressing an ear against the chest. Rubber tubes, earpieces and the often cold metal attachment that is placed against the chest came later, helping to amplify the sounds.When the stethoscope is pressed against the body, sound waves make the diaphragm — the flat metal disc part of the device — and the bell-shaped underside vibrate. That channels the sound waves up through the tubes to the ears. Conventional stethoscopes typically cost under 0, compared with at least a few thousand dollars for some of the high-tech devices.But picking up and interpreting body sounds is subjective and requires a sensitive ear — and a trained one.With medical advances and competing devices over the past few decades, “the old stethoscope is kind of falling on hard times in terms of rigorous training,” said Dr. James Thomas, a cardiologist at Northwestern Medicine in Chicago. “Some recent studies have shown that graduates in internal medicine and emergency medicine may miss as many of half of murmurs using a stethoscope.”Northwestern is involved in testing new technology created by Eko, a Berkeley, California-based maker of smart stethoscopes. To improve detection of heart murmurs, Eko is developing artificial intelligence algorithms for its devices, using recordings of thousands of heartbeats. The devices produce a screen message telling the doctor whether the heart sounds are normal or if murmurs are present.Dennis Callinan, a retired Chicago city employee with heart disease, is among the study participants. At age 70, he has had plenty of stethoscope exams but said he feels no nostalgia for the devices.“If they can get a better reading using the new technology, great,” Callinan said.Chicago pediatrician Dr. Dave Drelicharz has been in practice for just over a decade and knows the allure of newer devices. But until the price comes down, the old stalwart “is still your best tool,” Drelicharz said. Once you learn to use the stethoscope, he said, it “becomes second nature.”“During my work hours in my office, if I don’t have it around my shoulders,” he said, “it’s as though I was feeling almost naked.” 5223

When 9-year-old William McLeod went to his Utah public school on Wednesday, he knew some of his classmates might ask him about the ashen cross he wore on his forehead for Ash Wednesday.He didn't think his teacher would tell him it was inappropriate and make him wash it off."It was really bad," William told CNN by phone Friday. "I went to the office and I was crying and I felt like I was in trouble."William's teacher has been placed on administrative leave while the Davis School District investigates, officials said in a statement, calling the teacher's actions "unacceptable."The teacher told him his ashes were 'inappropriate,' grandmother saysWilliam's grandmother, Karen Fisher, said he went to school after an Ash Wednesday Mass at their Catholic church.During the service, William, like legions of faithful all over the world, had an ash cross placed on his forehead to mark the beginning of Lent, a season of prayer and penance that Christians observe ahead of Easter.Fisher told her grandson he didn't have to get the ashes if he didn't want to. And if he went to school with them, she told him, people would probably ask him about what the symbol meant."People are going to look at you like you've got dirt on your head," she explained to him, "and that's OK. You explain this is Ash Wednesday and you're a Catholic. And he goes, 'OK, I want to wear them.'"It was his first time getting ashes on his forehead for Ash Wednesday, William told CNN.But hours later, Fisher got a call from the school's principal, who told her that William's teacher had asked him what was on his forehead, and he told her it was an ash cross for Ash Wednesday. She told him it was "inappropriate," Fisher said, "so take it off."The teacher handed William an antiseptic wipe and made him remove the ashes in front of his peers, Fisher said."I was furious," she told CNN. "This is who we are. This is part of our life as Catholics."Fisher noted there's a large Mormon population in Utah, but she said she's lived there for decades, and nothing like this has ever happened to her."I was just kind of shocked," she said.The school district and teacher apologizeWilliam went to the school counselor, who made it clear he was not in trouble and had done nothing wrong, the boy told CNN.The Davis School District has 2315

US Border Patrol apprehensions along the southern border dropped in June for the first month since January, according to preliminary internal data obtained by CNN.There were nearly 95,000 apprehensions on the US-Mexico border last month, down about 28% from 132,887 in May -- the highest month in more than a decade. Despite the drop, this June was much higher than the same time last year, when there were 34,089 apprehensions.The numbers are in line with forecasts from acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan, who said Friday that it appeared there would be a 25% decrease in June numbers of migrants crossing at the US-Mexico border.A dip in border crossings is common during the hot summer months, though McAleenan downplayed the role of seasonal trends in migration, saying that he expects to be able to tell by late July if initiatives undertaken by the US and Mexico governments will have a sustained impact.Customs and Border Protection does not comment on unofficial numbers, according to a spokesperson. The agency generally releases final monthly numbers towards the beginning of the subsequent month.Last week, McAleenan credited Trump administration initiatives for the drop, especially the increase in interdictions by Mexico over the past three weeks and the return of some asylum seekers to Mexico for the duration of their immigration proceedings.On June 8, in the wake of a tariff treat from President Donald Trump, the US and Mexico signed a deal, which included an agreement by Mexico to take "unprecedented steps" to increase enforcement and curb irregular migration.Border Patrol officials in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas last week said Mexico's efforts were having an effect on the numbers, but were skeptical it would have lasting impact, citing previous initiatives carried out by the Mexican government.The numbers come amid public outcry over reports that migrant children were held under poor health and hygiene conditions at multiple Border Patrol locations in Texas. On Monday, members of Congress toured facilities in the El Paso region, as demonstrators and counter-demonstrators clashed outside. Many of the Democratic congressional members expressed outrage over the conditions they witnessed.The demographic shift -- from single adults from Mexico to families and children predominantly from Northern Triangle countries of Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador -- as well as the large influx of migrants arriving over the past year, has strained facilities along the border, stretched CBP resources thin and caused low morale among agents. 2598

Whipping winds and dangerously dry conditions fueled the growth of wildfires in northern and southern California on Sunday, forcing thousands of people to flee their homes and causing Gov. Gavin Newsom to declare a statewide emergency."We are deploying every resource available, and are coordinating with numerous agencies as we continue to respond to these fires," Newsom said in a statement.He issued a proclamation saying the "fire weather conditions are unprecedented due to the scale, scope, wind speed and dry fuel conditions."In northern California's wine country, the Kincade Fire has already destroyed 79 structures and now threatens 31,175 other homes and buildings, said the 698
