at this hour, a mysterious explosion behind russian lines in annexed crimea, what we re hearing on the ground about who is responsible. and president biden announces major conservation action just moments ago. is it enough to get him back in the good graces of environmental groups? we ll have a live report. and in los angeles, that teacher strike is under way today which means for 420,000 students, no teachers, no bus drivers, no lunch, and no options for countless parents scrambling to find child care. and a small group of trump fans making a show of support on the bridge at mar-a-lago as the manhattan grand jury gets ready to reconvene tomorrow. our reporters are following all the latest developments. and we begin with vaughn hillyard near mar-a-lago. what is the scene like there today? obviously even though trump said that he was going to get arrested today, that hasn t happened. but is there any sense of when i something might happen? reporter: and donald trump ca
squeeze on the balcony on capitol hill so get ready. and it looks chilly. thanks, kaitlan. thank you everyone for watching, we appreciate it. have a great day. we will see you later on tonight for the state of the union. cnn newsroom starts right now. good tuesday morning, i m erica hill. and i m jim sciutto. right now just a heartbreaking reality in turkey and syria, international aid rushing in as the death toll from that powerful earthquake and its aftershocks rises to more than 5,000. 24 hours or so after the earthquake hit, rescuers they are still managing to pull some survivors from the rubble. in one instance in turkey a child that had been trapped in a collapsed building crawled out of the debris into the hands of first responders. [ speaking non-english ] that poor little child. numerous aftershocks have rattled the region, many people too scared to stay inside their homes, understandably so. they ve been forced to sleep on the streets in freezing temperatu
new gown, gloves and mask before the next patient. so if you have a loved one, ask what are you doing. we re winding the pandemic down, but what are you doing now to make sure that this fungus infection is not infecting them. how are you keeping things clean. is it drug resistant, is it also resistant to the usual cleaning materials? no, it is not resistant to cleaning materials but it is resistant to the anti-fungal medicines that we use. they are hard to treat once they take a foothold in the body. what they are starting to see is what they call pan-resistance, they are resistance to all the anti-fungals and that is when it causes an issue. and if you look at the mortality rate, 30% to 72%, a huge mortality rate. and those are the ones that are probably in the drug resistant
you have about 1.7 million people dying of fungal infections every year around the world. to give you some context, malaria kills between 400,000 and 500,000 people. it is a big deal around the world, typically impacts people who, a, don t have access to an anti-fungals. you do start to see fungals grow where they did not grow before. our body is 98.6 degrees, funguses can t live at that tour. as the climate has warmed they have started to adapt and they will adapt to the point where they can survive in a warmer climate such as the human body. so now the show is going to come true. i was going to say now another reason for me not to sleep tonight. there s things we can do about it. it is always so good to see you, sanjay.
COVID-19 pandemic has heightened the interest towards diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases. Nuclear medicine with its powerful scintigraphic, SPECT and PET imaging modalities has always played an important role in diagnosis of infections and distinguishing them from the sterile inflammation. In addition to the clinically available radiopharmaceuticals there has been a decades-long effort to develop more specific imaging agents with some examples being radiolabeled antibiotics and antimicrobial peptides for bacterial imaging, radiolabeled anti-fungals for fungal infections imaging, radiolabeled pathogen-specific antibodies and molecular engineered constructs. In this opinion piece, we would like to discuss some examples of the work published in the last decade on developing nuclear imaging agents for bacterial, fungal and viral infections in order to generate more interest among nuclear medicine community towards conducting clinical trials of these novel probes, as well as tow
