Sydney surgeons ‘enormously proud’ after patient in his 40s receives the Australian-designed implant designed as a bridge before receiving a donor's heart.

We are grateful to people who decide to do good on this world.

Rest in peace, Mr. Harrison.

Once again, I’m disappointed & dissatisfied how MAX/TNT LatAm likes to do live transmissions in Mono. #Ocars #MAX #TNT

Pondering about how light travels from the Sun, towards Earth. Scattering through the atmosphere, coming through a window, reaching my eyes. But that’s not all. Some gets reflected towards my phone screen, bounces back to my eyes & I see a white dot on my screen that isn’t really there. ✨Reflection‼️

There has been way to much Nazis this week in my life.

I wanted to distract me from real life but I find myself coming across them anyway.

From watching “The Producers” (2005)
to “Welcome to Marwen” (2018).

Can all those movies have a time off?
I love “Jojo Rabbit”, but right now I can’t even. 🤮

“Sunburn damages the DNA, leading to cell death and inflammation. But in this study we learn that this is a result of damage to the RNA, not the DNA that causes the acute effects of sunburn,” says Assistant Professor Anna Constance Vind from the Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine

Clinical obesity requires one or both of the following criteria: evidence of reduced organ or tissue function due to obesity; or substantial, age-adjusted limitations of daily activities reflecting the specific effect of obesity on mobility, other basic activities of daily living, or both.

Scientists identify 177 specific genes that fuel cancer metastasis, and 2 key genes:
• SP1, which accelerates metastasis, and
• KLF5, which helps suppress it.

Challenging the long-held belief that metastasis mechanisms vary greatly between cancer types.

Researchers have discovered that including specific nutrients in a regular diet, such as antioxidants, vitamins, iron-chelating nutrients & polyunsaturated fatty acids, reduces iron buildup in the brain, lowers cognitive decline associated with normal aging, and improves memory.

Today I found out ROSÉ is a Cilantro enthusiast. That's one more reason I like her.

"ROSÉ's Cilantro Farm" sounds good.

There’re over 85 billion neurons in the brain, with 1/3 dedicated to high-level thinking & located in the cortex. Individual neurons are powerful information processors & can easily transmit more than 10 bits/s of information. But why don't they? Perhaps due to how our brains evolved.

Intermittent fasting slows hair regrowth in both humans and mice, experiments show.

“We’ve come to expect that fasting is going to be beneficial for most, if not all cell types. This is the inverse of what we expected, and the finding seems to hold true in humans.” says Ömer Yilmaz

Exercising for 30 minutes improves memory and cognitive performance for the day ahead and the day after, suggests a new study.
It suggested benefits could be down to an increased blood flow to the brain and stimulation of chemicals known as neurotransmitters.

Adopting a healthy diet can reduce the severity of chronic pain, presenting an easy and accessible way for sufferers to better manage their condition.

These findings were independent of a person’s weight.

The effect was stronger in women.

Positive emotions experienced by one romantic partner were linked to lower cortisol levels, a key stress hormone, in the other partner.

The connection between a partner’s positivity and cortisol was especially strong in couples with higher relationship satisfaction and among older participants.

Everyday physical activity, even going for a short walk or playing with the kids at home, seems to provide short-term benefits for cognitive health, equivalent to reversing four years of cognitive aging.

Consuming five or more servings per week of dark chocolate is associated with a lower risk for type 2 diabetes (T2D) compared with infrequent or no consumption.
