Apartment fire in Philadelphia sends at least one person to the hospital
[ad_1]
At least one person was transported to a hospital after a fire tore through an apartment building in Philadelphia, officials said.
According to fire officials, a fire broke out at an apartment building on 12th and Catharine Streets Saturday morning in the city’s Bella Vista neighborhood.
Officials said at least one person was transported to a nearby hospital to be treated for smoke inhalation. Everyone else in the building made it out safely.
NBC10 was at the scene and significant damage could be seen on the second floor and the roof of the building.
The Red Cross was there assisting those affected by the fire.
It is unclear at this time how the fire started.

Pregnancy, breastfeeding may offer some protection against cognitive decline
[ad_1]
Many moms feel scatterbrained, so it might seem counterintuitive that new research has found a link between pregnancy and breastfeeding and higher cognitive function later in life.
The findings, published by the Alzheimer’s Association, take on a special significance considering that women are disproportionately affected by dementia. Nearly two-thirds of Americans with Alzheimer’s are women, the reasons for which are not fully understood.
To explore the link between female reproduction and dementia, researchers analyzed data from more than 7,000 women who each were around age 70. The women gave information about their reproductive histories and underwent annual cognitive assessments for 13 years.
More cumulative time spent breastfeeding and pregnant was associated with greater cognition, verbal memory and visual memory, the researchers found.
More specifically, women who had been pregnant scored higher on cognitive ability tests than those who had never been pregnant. Women who had breastfed had higher cognitive ability scores and verbal memory scores than those who had never breastfed. These benefits were similar in scale to the impact that being physically active and avoiding smoking have on improved cognition, the researchers said.
The researchers said they now are delving further into the way certain reproductive histories may offer protection against cognitive decline.
“If we can figure out, as a next step, why those reproductive patterns lead to better cognitive outcomes in old age, then we can work toward figuring out how to craft therapies — for example, new drugs, repurposed drugs or social programs — that mimic the naturally-occurring effect we observed,” said the study’s lead author, Molly Fox, an anthropology professor at the University of California Los Angeles.

Resident says her family was told to leave Philly home as PGW responds to gas odor
[ad_1]
At least one resident was told to leave their home on Wednesday night as PGW responded to a report of a gas odor in West Philadelphia.
Desiree Gomez lives along the 3900 block of Brandywine Street in the Mantua section of West Philadelphia and she told NBC10 that it was smelling like gas inside her home on Feb. 4.
“PGW responded to a report of a gas odor and is onsite to mitigate any potential safety concerns,” a spokesperson for the company wrote in a statement to NBC10.
When she called PGW, she said they told her to leave her home as they responded to the scene.
As of Wednesday night, Gomez said she was not told when she can return to her home.
“I got a newborn and it’s cold,” Gomez said.

Playing ‘pink noise’ sounds, like rainfall, to fall asleep may harm REM sleep
[ad_1]
It’s common for people to play continuous wave sounds and other gentle nature noises on their phones to lull themselves to sleep. But this type of “pink noise” may actually be backfiring, a new Penn Medicine study suggests.
The Sleep Foundation‘s definition of pink noise is a bit technical: “noise frequencies that decrease in power with each higher octave to create a lower pitch.” But it’s often compared to nature sounds like steady rainfall, wind or waves.

Health experts sometimes prescribe pink noise for people who have trouble sleeping or to promote relaxation, because it has been found to be more gentle than white noise, which has a higher pitch and sounds similar to static from an untuned radio or TV.
But researchers from the University of Pennsylvania found pink noise interferes with restorative rapid eye movement (REM) sleep and sleep recovery. Wearing earplugs is a more effective way to block out traffic noise, the study found.
“REM sleep is important for memory consolidation, emotional regulation and brain development, so our findings suggest that playing pink noise and other types of broadband noise during sleep could be harmful — especially for children whose brains are still developing and who spend much more time in REM sleep than adults,” said Dr. Mathias Basner, the study’s lead author.
For the study, published Monday in the journal Sleep, researchers had 25 adults spend their nights for an entire week in a sleep lab. The participants were not in the habit of using noise to help them sleep and had no sleep disorders.
The researchers exposed the participants to aircraft noise, pink noise, aircraft noise with pink noise and aircraft noise with earplugs. Researchers then used different methods each morning to test the participants’ sleep quality, alertness and other health effects.
They found exposure to aircraft noise overnight led to a 23-minute drop in the deepest stage of REM sleep, but wearing earplugs essentially blocked out the air traffic sounds.
Pink noise by itself, equivalent to “moderate rainfall,” was linked to a loss of 19 minutes of REM sleep. And pink noise combined with aircraft noise led to “significantly shorter” time spent in deep sleep and REM sleep compared to nights without any type of noise.
Participants also reported that their sleep felt lighter, that they woke up more frequently throughout the night and that their overall quality of sleep was worse when they were exposed to aircraft or pink noise. But using earplugs against pink noise and aircraft noise improved their overall quality of sleep.
The effects of pink noise, white noise and other types of broadband noise — used by 16% of Americans at night — need further study, the researchers concluded.
“Overall, our results caution against the use of broadband noise, especially for newborns and toddlers, and indicate that we need more research in vulnerable populations, on long-term use, on the different colors of broadband noise, and on safe broadband noise levels in relation to sleep,” Basner said.

20-year-old man dies after getting shot in the head while driving in Frankford
[ad_1]
A 20-year-old man was killed after a shooter opened fire as he was driving in the Frankford neighborhood of Philadelphia on Monday night, according to Philadelphia Chief Inspector Scott Small.
The shooting occurred just before 10 p.m. at the 1600 block of Brill Street, where a man driving a Honda Accord crashed into a pile of snow after being shot, Small said.
The man, who has not been identified at this time, was rushed to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 10:32 p.m. due to a gunshot wound to the head, Small said.
Private surveillance camera video seen by police show the shooting and showed two men approach the Honda and then one of the men opened fire through the passenger door, shooting the car at least twice, Small said.
SkyForce10 was over the scene and saw that another car had struck the Honda as well, but no injuries have been announced from the subsequent crash.
Two spent shell casings from a semi-automatic weapon were found at the scene, Small said.
The two men who approached the Honda were last seen going westbound from the scene of the shooting, Small said, and have only been described as men wearing dark clothing.
Anyone with any information on the incident is urged to contact the Philadelphia Police Department at 215-686-TIPS (8477) or anonymously online here.

Car encased in ice gets unthawed and towed away on Monday
[ad_1]
A car that was encased in ice in Philadelphia’s Fishtown neighborhood last week has been removed and towed away, its owner, Tianna Graham, shared on Monday.
The Honda Civic became covered in ice amid the storm and freezing temperatures last week.
When NBC10 spoke to Graham last week, she said the car was able to start but was unsafe to operate due to the ice covering the exhaust pipe.
“It’s fine. It’s kind of funny so it is what it is,” she said at the time. “I shoveled it out on Monday and I was driving on Tuesday and then left it in the same spot I shoveled out.”
Neighbors told NBC10 last week that a water main break caused water to flow down North Front Street for several days. Each time cars went by, water splashed onto the parked vehicles, creating more and more layers of ice.
Amid brutally cold tempertures, at least three cars were encased in ice along North Front Street in Philadelphia. NBC10 photojournalist J.R. Smith responded to the scene Friday morning.

Philly officials urge people not to walk and skate on frozen rivers
[ad_1]
Philadelphia’s leaders warned people not to walk and skate on frozen waterways due to the risk of falling in.
In a statement to NBC10, a spokesperson from Mayor Cherelle Parker’s office said, “The City of Philadelphia urges residents and visitors to stay off all frozen rivers, lakes, and waterways. Walking, skating, or driving on ice is extremely dangerous and can even lead to death.”
“Falling through ice can be fatal within minutes, placing both the public and first responders at serious risk,” the statement continued. “For your safety, please remain on solid ground and avoid all frozen waterways.”
In a social media post to X on Sunday, the Philadelphia Police Department said, “We’re getting reports of people walking and ice skating on Philadelphia’s rivers. This is illegal for a reason. River ice is not as thick as it looks – moving water underneath weakens it and conditions can change fast. Please stay safe and stay off the ice!”
🚨 Safety Alert 🚨

NBA suspends 76ers’ Paul George 25 games
[ad_1]
Paul George of the Philadelphia 76ers was suspended 25 games for violating the terms of the NBA’s anti-drug program, the league announced Saturday.The NBA did not disclose the nature of the violation or the substance that was involved, and George released a statement to ESPN saying he took something that was “improper.”Video above: Philadelphia 76ers player injured in hit-and-run“Over the past few years, I’ve discussed the importance of mental health, and in the course of recently seeking treatment for an issue of my own, I made the mistake of taking an improper medication,” George said in the statement released to the network.He apologized to the team and its fans, saying he takes “full responsibility for my actions.”The 25-game suspension, by terms of the agreement between the NBA and the National Basketball Players Association, indicates that this was a first violation by George. He will begin serving the suspension Saturday when Philadelphia hosts New Orleans.The suspension will cost George — a nine-time All-Star — roughly $11.7 million of his $51.7 million salary, or about $469,691.72 for each of the 25 games missed. Some of that forfeited money will turn into a credit and put Philadelphia closer to getting out of the luxury tax; the 76ers would be about $1.3 million over that line when factoring in the money George isn’t getting.George is expected to be eligible to return on March 25, when Philadelphia plays host to Chicago. The 76ers will have 10 games remaining in the regular season at that point.Philadelphia entered Saturday at 26-21, sixth in the Eastern Conference. The 76ers are 16-11 when George plays, 10-10 when he does not.Sixers coach Nick Nurse declined ahead of Saturday’s game to discuss details of the conversation he had with George after the suspension was announced. Nurse said he hadn’t noticed any personal issues with George, even as mental health concerns were addressed in the statement.“I think he’s been fine,” Nurse said. “Really fun to coach. Really good teammate. His teammates really like him. Showing some great leadership.”George has averaged 16 points in 27 games this season for the Sixers, with that scoring average third-highest on the team behind Tyrese Maxey (29.4) and Joel Embiid (25.7). He had one of his best games of the season earlier this week, a 32-point outburst fueled by nine 3-pointers in a win over Milwaukee on Tuesday.The 35-year-old George signed a $212 million, four-year contract in free agency ahead of the 2024 season. But his first year in Philly was marred by knee and adductor injuries that resulted in the forward having one of the worst years of his NBA career.George averaged 16.2 points in just 41 games, easily his lowest scoring average in a full season since he averaged 12.1 points for Indiana in his second NBA season.“I think there’s been a lot of circumstances that have been really unfortunate,” Nurse said. “I also feel like he’s played pretty well this year. Borderline very well, considering he’s played such a critical role for us. Kind of slotted in like a really good role player on this particular team. I think he’s done what we’ve need him to do.”Last season was so miserable that George called his first year in Philly “rock bottom” over the course of his career.It’s certainly not any better now.“As with all our players, dealing with this kind of stuff, you care about them,” Nurse said. “We’re to help him. The organization is in any way possible.
