A study from the Mayo Clinic has revealed differences in the intestinal microbiome of young patients with colorectal and breast cancer, suggesting a possible connection between these microbial alterations and the onset of certain types of cancer before the age of 50, although it has not been determined whether they are causes or consequences of the disease. #Cáncer #Microbioma #SaludIntestinal (translated)

In Argentina, downloading copyrighted music is ILLEGAL. But it is unenforceable, and like all unenforceable laws, it does not matter to ANYONE. If you really care that a rape victim cannot have an abortion, there is only one thing you can do. Make a schedule, go to university, get a good job in some laboratory, and design an efficient and effective method to detect the use of misoprostol in spontaneous abortions. Until a few years ago, it was illegal. And there were practically no convictions (and none with effective imprisonment). There was no way. If you do not want to dedicate yourselves to clinical biochemistry or forensic toxicology, you can donate money to people who are developing that. Asking for it to be illegal is literally like the president of Turkmenistan prohibiting COVID. Considering that, no discussion makes sense and it becomes merely a show.

Pfizer-DNA gevonden in harttumor van jonge man na vaccinatie: 'Dit is de smoking gun' https://t.co/pmwu33zLr0 Even snel gescreend. Belangwekkend artikel. Dit is voor mij echter de crux van het verhaal, omdat ik dit al heel lang vermoed. En ik zeg het heel voorzichtig - dit zou ook de oorzaak kunnen zijn voor de waarneming van velen over de zogenaamde 'turbo-kankers'. Strikt genomen betekent het aantonen van plasmide DNA in een tumor nog niet dat dit ook de oorzaak is van het ontstaan van de tumor. Ik denk dat de relatie tussen vaccinatie met een #mRNAvaccin en het ontstaan cq progressie van een tumor veel complexer is. En dat vatten @NicHulscher et al. heel mooi samen: "The more parsimonious interpretation of this discrepancy is therefore not that mRNA vaccination initiated this malignancy de novo, but that a small, occult and clinically silent sarcoma was already present at the time of vaccination and that its growth and metastatic behavior were then drastically accelerated." "A lesion of that size may have been undetectable by any available means, and might have remained indolent, been contained by immune surveillance, or never become clinically manifest." "This is the phenotype the concurrent-hit model predicts: not a uniform excess of new cancers, but accelerated progression and metastatic outgrowth in susceptible hosts, including those carrying dormant micrometastases or occult residual disease." On this account the relevant mechanisms are those of tumor promotion rather than initiation: sustained inflammation, impaired immune surveillance, immune tolerance associated with IgG4 class switching, and the structural genomic instability documented in tissue following mRNA vaccination. "This framework accords with the population-level data, in which excess cancer risk was detectable within a single year of vaccination — an interval far too short for the initiation of most solid tumors, but fully compatible with the acceleration of pre-existing subclinical disease — and it is the mechanism proposed for the rapid post-vaccination malignancies catalogued elsewhere." De mRNA-vaccins: the gift that keeps on giving. #vaccinatie #gezondheid #kanker

„Ar trebui cel puțin câte două ședințe pe săptămână, pe perioade îndelungate. Dar cine-și permite să plătească între 50-100 de lei ședința? Până acum, trimiteam la o clinică, aveam o legătură cu un domn profesor, care era foarte amabil și dânsul recomanda. Pe baza recomandării, cu aprobare de la Casă, putea să facă fără să plătească. Cu adevărat, după 6 luni, se vedeau rezultatele, pe radiografie”Medicul chirurg-ortoped pediatru Gheorghe Ciobanu atrage atenția că a consultat, în ambulatoriu, în decurs de câteva săptămâni, mai mulți copii care au nevoie urgentă de intervenție de specialitate, unii dintre ei chiar de operație. #scolioză #sănătate #copii

„Se speră, de asemenea, că descoperirea noastră ar putea reduce numărul procedurilor inutile în cazul pacienților cu noduli benigni, prin includerea acestui test non-invaziv în practica clinică curentă”Coautoarea studiului, Zhang Xi, de la Universitatea Griffith, a precizat că prelevarea de biopsii din nodulii pulmonari poate fi o provocare din punct de vedere tehnic, în special atunci când leziunile sunt mici sau greu accesibile, iar acea procedură poate cauza complicații, cum ar fi colapsul pulmonar. #cancerpulmonar #diagnosticareprecoce #testrespirator
