Mapping cell behaviors in high-grade glioma to improve treatment
The researchers profiled 313 tumor biopsies from 68 high-grade glioma (HGG) patients. This image is a representation of the 3-dimensional relationship of multiple tissue biopsies from a single patient ’s HGG tumor. The different colors depict different versions of genetic mutations relative to the epidermal growth factor receptor gene. High-grade gliomas are cancerous tumors that spread quickly in the brain or spinal cord. In a new study led by Mayo Clinic, researchers found invasive brain tumo r… (Source: News from Mayo Clinic)

They proudly served their adoptive nation – and found a path to medicine along the way
When Jose Chevalier, Isabelle Trinh Phan and Nam Yong Cho enlisted in the U.S. military, they were thinking of their families. Their families were, after all, the strongest support system these three Bruins had after immigrating to the U.S. from various parts of the globe, and joining up meant easing the pressure on their loved ones. But it was a good thing for a variety of reasons.While none of these student veterans could have predicted it, their military experiences would also point them toward academic and career trajectories in medicine, eventually leading two of them to theDavid Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and ...

Simple test similar to those used to find Covid could be used to detect brain tumours and warn people with aggressive recurring cancer if it has returned, researchers suggest
The test has been developed for glioblastoma - the type of aggressive brain tumour which affects around 2,200 people a year in the UK, and which comes back in about 75 per cent of cases. (Source: the Mail online | Health)

Finger-prick test could help spot brain cancer recurrence sooner
Researchers designing lateral flow test that patients could use at home and avoid six-month wait for MRI scanScientists are developing the world ’s first finger-prick test to spot brain tumours. More than 300,000 people worldwide are diagnosed with brain cancer each year, and while treatments have improved over the last few decades, recurrence remains a risk.The unpredictable timing of tumours coming back makes them difficult to detect early. Researchers are designing a lateral flow test to pick up signs of recurrence that could be used by patients at home.Continue reading... (Source: Guardian Unlimited Science)

What my Patient Did to Prove the Establishment Wrong
Here at the Sears Institute for Anti-Aging Medicine, we are having great success alerting people to what I call “Syndrome Zero.”
If you haven’t heard of this condition, you’re not alone. But I call it the most urgent public health threat of our time.
Syndrome Zero is the fundamental base of almost every health issue we face today — including obesity, heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s, arthritis, high blood pressure, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, and even hip fractures.
It already afflicts billions of people on the planet — and within a matter of decades, it will see nearly every man, woman, and child in Amer...

This Modern Fad Is Making You Sick
The government declared war on fat almost 50 years ago. And as a result, we got slower, sicker, and fatter.
In fact, the results of this big fat lie “led to some pretty disastrous consequences…that caused Americans to get fatter.”
Those are the words of one of the most famous nutritionists in the world.
Dr. Walter Willett, Chair of the Department of Nutrition at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, was one of the first mainstream physicians to admit that the campaign to eliminate fat in the diet was a big mistake.
But lately, he’s shifted gears. And today, he’s declared war on meat.
I couldn’t dis...

Metabolite tells cells whether to repair DNA
Metabolites called nucleotides are the building blocks of DNA and can impact cancer's sensitivity or resistance to chemotherapy and radiation in brain cancer.
Findings from researchers at the University of Michigan Health Rogel Cancer Center, published in Cancer Discovery, show how a specific nucleotide metabolite, called GTP, controls responses to radiation and chemotherapy in an unexpected way. (Source: World Pharma News)

What is PM2.5 and the AQI?
Discussion
Air quality standards are made, measured and monitored by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) through the Clean Air Act. All potential pollutants are not necessarily monitored. Some of the most commonly monitored and studied are fine particulate matter, ground-level ozone, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, and sulfur dioxide.
Common fine particulate matter < 2.5 µm (PM2.5) sources include the natural sources of biomass burning, coal burning, road and soil dust, sea spray aerosols, wildfire particles, and volcanic dust. Human sources of PM2.5 include residential cooking and heating, farming, ...
