Mortality rates in the 20th Century
Regarding DQ ' s query in the comments to the previous post:Here is the record of mortality in the U.S. in the 20th Century.You can see the obvious spike in mortality in 2018, due to the influenza pandemic. Mortality during the Great Depression is choppy, but does generally seem to continue the downward trend seen before the 1918 flu pandemic, before turning down smoothly after 1940. We would not expect to see a large mortality impact in the U.S. due to WWII, as the U.S. had a total of about 400,000 combat and non-combat casualties of the war spread out over 4 years.I couldn ' t find a high quality graphic showing global 2...

How to Live Your Best Life: 6 Simple Tips
If you want to reach your full potential, you need to “climb” the right “hill” for you. You need to strive for the right things.
That’s not easy, though. Here is what I wrote in How to Find Your Best Possible Life:
Why do people keep climbing the wrong hill? Well, a big reason is that they can’t see other hills out there. They can’t see other possibilities for their lives. They think that their current life is the only one for them.
A big part of optimizing your life is knowing what is possible for you. You need to see the other “hills” out there. You need to know the possibilities.
That was the case for ...

Why Is China Pressing Indonesia Again Over Its Maritime Claims?
China sparked a major maritime confrontation with Indonesia near the South China Sea in December when dozens of Chinese fishing vessels, along with a coast guard escort, entered waters off the Natuna Islands. What drove Beijing to stake out its sovereignty claims against Indonesia at this particular time? And what can Indonesia and other regional neighbors expect of Chinese behavior going forward?

Eureka Moments Have A “Dark Side”: They Can Make False Facts Seem True
By Matthew Warren
We love a puzzle here at Research Digest — so here’s a couple from a recent paper in Cognition. See whether you can unscramble the anagrams in the following sentences (read on for the answers!):
The Cocos Islands are part of idnionsea
eeebygoshn kill more people worldwide each year than all poisonous snakes combined
If you successfully solved the anagrams, you may have experienced an “Aha!” or “Eureka” moment: a flash of insight where the solution suddenly becomes clear, perhaps after you have spent a while completely stumped. Usually when we experience these moments we have indeed arrived ...

Curcumin and myeloma: a new patient study
A very small Indonesian study came up with some interesting conclusions about curcumin given to myeloma patients who were also taking melphalan and prednisone (MP): http://bit.ly/348vHwY
The study evaluated two groups of myeloma patients, a control group of 16 patients who took only the MP, and a treatment group consisting of 17 people who also took 8 grams of curcumin in addition to the MP.
After 28 days, as we can read in the study, “There was a significant decrease of NF-KB, VEGF, TNF-?, LDH levels in the treatment group compared with control. There was a decreasing trend of IL-6 levels in the treatment group sig...

Answer to Case 565
Answer toParasite Case of the Week 565:BertiellaspeciesThis case nicely demonstrates a short chain of proglottids and egg (expressed from the proglottids) ofBertiella - a tapeworm of non-human primates that only rarely infects humans. You can read more about this fascinating parasite at theCDC DPDx website.The proglottids are very short and wide, thus giving this small segment of proglottids the appearance of ' bow tie ' pasta as several of my readers pointed out! (arrows point to some of the individual proglottids)Bertiellaeggs have an internal pyriform apparatus which is difficult to make out in this case. It is bet...

The CDC is Still Misleading the Public about the Cause of the Respiratory Disease Outbreak: Why?
Last Thursday, CDC finally revised itswarning to the public about the vaping-associated respiratory disease outbreak to state clearly that vaping THC-containing products is playing a major role in the outbreak. It stated that:" The latest national and state findings suggest products containing THC, particularly those obtained off the street or from other informal sources (e.g. friends, family members, illicit dealers), are linked to most of the cases and play a major role in the outbreak. Therefore, CDC recommends that you should not use e-cigarette, or vaping, products that contain THC."In addition, CDC finallyrecommended...

We Built an App to Detect Areas Most Vulnerable to Life-Threatening Haze
Forest and land-use fires are ravaging Indonesia ' s Sumatra and Kalimantan islands. Haze from these fires threatens lives as inhaling smoke can cause heart and respiratory diseases, leading to premature deaths. We developed a new online tool to provide decision-makers with information to protect people living downwind from the fires. (Source: The RAND Blog)
