The main cause of lung cancer is smoking cigarettes, but it is interesting that in the case of adenocarcinoma, the proportion of non-smokers is significantly higher than in other types of lung cancer. Adenocarcinoma is lung cancer, one of the most serious diseases of the respiratory system in which cells begin to grow uncontrollably and form a tumor. Medically, lung cancer is divided into two main groups: small cell carcinoma and non-small cell carcinoma. The latter is much more common and includes adenocarcinoma, which most often develops in the outer parts of the lungs, explains Dr. Igor Štagljar, professor and director of the Department of Biochemistry and Medical Genetics at the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Toronto, who is developing new approaches to discovering drugs for cancer. #Papa #rakpluća #oporavak (translated)

Graslik8 wrote after the match against Slavia that he was considering the future of the club and coach Jindřich Trpišovský. He criticized his long-term reliance on favored players, among which he included Jan Bořil, Standa Tecl, Ondřej Kolář, Tomáš Holeš, Lukáš Provod, and Tomáš Chorý. According to the author, some of them were given opportunities despite poor performances, while other players were not given a chance. He pointed to Provod and Chorý as current examples. Provod, he said, was one of the best players in the league when in top form, but this season he was far from his best, even though his playing time did not decrease. Graslik8 stated that Slavia had alternatives in the form of Ayaosi and Šturm, but the coach preferred to deploy Šturm in the wing-back position. The author compared the use of Chorý in European competitions to the repeated testing of the non-functioning duo Král–Souček. He wrote that Chorý could help Slavia in the league, but he did not believe he was suitable for the Champions League. At the same time, he questioned the claim that the club could not acquire a quality striker: he pointed out the spending of twelve million on N’Guessan and Diakité, of whom the former, according to him, played sporadically, and the latter almost not at all. He believed that the coaching staff did not want to deprive Chorý of his place. Graslik8 acknowledged that Slavia dominated the league and was heading for another title and a hat trick, and he praised Trpišovský's ability to develop players and sell them for high amounts. However, he stated that if the club wanted to succeed in cups and compete with strong teams, it was increasingly evident that this would not be achieved with Trpišovský at the helm. He wrote that Slavia would eventually have to make a difficult choice. #SlaviaPraga #fotbal #JindřichTrpišovský (translated)

Jan Betlach wrote that the American army studied Israeli combat medical procedures in order to increase the chances of injured soldiers' survival. According to his contribution, the share of deaths among the injured decreased from approximately 15% during the Second Lebanon War in 2006 to 7% in the Iron Sword War. Betlach stated that the Israeli army implemented doctors in every company, blood products for on-site treatment, and real-time patient data sharing. Referring to the Israeli army, he wrote that blood products have been used since 2013 and that it was the first in the world to provide plasma to the injured in the field instead of saline solution. He also mentioned rapid evacuation to hospitals, in the most severe cases by helicopter, and the availability of advanced emergency care immediately or within four minutes; in 2006, it took 15 to 20 minutes according to him. In April, according to Betlach, the American army issued a 78-page report recommending the adoption of Israeli procedures. Its authors wrote that Israel underwent a painful transformation directly in combat and that the United States can avoid it. Betlach also noted that a spokesperson for the Israeli army described the report as a result of cooperation between the two armies and stated that American officers came to gain experience. https://t.co/HFQD5mS5Rx https://t.co/CJty7LjEkh #armáda #medicína #zdravotníctví (translated)
