However you feel about him, Ricky Gervais is one of the most prominent animal rights advocates in the entertainment industry. He donates profits from his stand-up comedy tours to fund animal welfare groups: nearly £2.5 million from his last "Mortality" tour. Good man. #RickyGervais #AnimalRights #ComedyForACause #GB
Io rimango basito dal ragionamento di @mariannaaprile. Muoiono le persone mica le percentuali. È una delle cose più imbarazzanti che abbia sentito. La volontà di vincere una polemica persa conduce in un vicolo cieco. Quindi se avesse attraversato una persona soltanto e questa fosse morta avremmo una mortalità del 100%. E seguendo il ragionamento appena fatto sarebbe peggio che vedere 914 morti con una mortalità del 5%. #inonda #mortality #debate #healthcare
New finding: Raynaud’s phenomenon may be more than an isolated vascular response to cold. In patients with early Raynaud’s, the coexistence of capillaroscopic abnormalities and autoantibodies - particularly ANA and anti-Scl-70 - was associated with higher mortality during https://t.co/7jR0ZEEQ7Y #RaynaudsPhenomenon #Autoimmunity #HealthResearch #Therearenospecificcountrycodesmentionedinthetweetprovided.
La ola de calor de junio ha provocado al menos 12.000 muertes adicionales en Europa, según datos preliminares, con un exceso de mortalidad notable en países como Alemania, Francia y Bélgica, superando las cifras esperadas y resaltando la necesidad de abordar el calor como una emergencia de salud pública. #OlaDeCalor #MortalityExcess #CambioClimático
V článku se uvádí, že čísla o hitzetodech, která zveřejňuje Robert Koch-Institut, jsou považována za spolehlivá a přestože se často zakládají na odhadech, ukazují na významné zvýšení úmrtnosti v důsledku veder, přičemž potíže se správným zařazením úmrtí k teplu a fenomén mortality displacement komplikuje celkové posouzení skutečného dopadu veder na zdraví populace. #Hitzetote #Klimawandel #Übersterblichkeit
Mass mortality events will only continue to happen more often, more serious, and more visible. Most people still live in Lalaland, though. #MassMortality #ClimateCrisis #Awakening #Therearenospecificcountriesmentionedinthetweetprovided.Therefore #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.
Death and dishonesty in British maternity hospitals — In 2009 the government said it hoped to halve the rate of maternal mortality; instead it has risen by 20%, leaving Britain behind many European peers https://t.co/QkXLZUj874 #MaternityCare #MaternalMortality #NHS #GB #EU
Putin looks old and defeated. He knows it's only a matter of time before his own people turn on him. Less than a year ago, the dictator was discussing immortality with Xi Jinping. Now, he's facing the certainty of defeat and his own mortality. https://t.co/Qvyh0oiVWI #Putin #Defeat #Dictatorship #RU #CN
The world biggest iceberg has finally melted away, aged 40 or so. It was not the fact of its mortality that worried people, as much as the speed of its breaking-up and the long-term fate of the continent it had belonged to https://t.co/DlYyBbybVc #ClimateChange #Iceberg #GlobalWarming #Nospecificcountrycodesarementionedinthetweet.
Doctors from Harvard Medical School in Boston have shown that the stronger the heat, the greater the danger. In the study "Cardiovascular Mortality and Exposure to Heat in an Inherently Hot Region: Implications for Climate Change," published in the journal "Circulation," (translated)
Fun fact: not just mortality, but sexual activity and fertility likewise have an optimal temperature; there is a significant drop in birth rates ~9 months after a heat wave. https://t.co/cDUc7cwMaS #ClimateChange #Fertility #HeatWave #Thetweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountries.Therefore #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.
E.g. less sunshine hence lower vitamin D levels, more virus infections (flu), more air pollution, behavioral changes (food, drink, less time spent indoors, less exercise). Even in warm Honolulu 10-15 % more people die in winter. So does #globalwarming reduce mortality? #globalwarming #health #mortality #Thetweetdoesnotexplicitlymentionanyspecificcountries.Therefore #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.
Impressive study suggesting that hyperglycosylation (addition of sugars to proteins) may be a driver of Alzheimer’s disease 👀 They also show that glucosamine supplements (often used for joint health) are associated with Alzheimer’s progression and mortality. #Alzheimers #HealthResearch #Glucosamine #Therearenospecificcountriesmentionedinthetweet.
Keep cool, drink a lot of water, look after yourself and elderly neighbors. Heat waves are silent killers. Full extent will only be known once the overall mortality data are analyzed. We learned that in 2003. #HeatWave #StayHydrated #PublicHealth #Thetweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountries.Therefore #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.
Wildfires, crop failures, dying forests, mass mortality events... all of that. Anybody worried yet? Wait for peak summer though. #Wildfires #ClimateCrisis #EnvironmentalEmergency #Nospecificcountrycodesarementionedinthetweet.
Dominik Wolf, Director of the University Clinic for Hematology and Oncology in Innsbruck, emphasizes the importance of colonoscopy as the gold standard for colorectal cancer screening and advocates for a nationwide screening program in Austria to increase early detection and reduce mortality, especially as younger patients are increasingly affected. #Darmkrebs #Vorsorge #Screening
Ugliness in youth raises the risk of death. This study investigates the role of physical attractiveness in predicting young adult mortality by using representative data from the United States and recently published mortality information. Specifically, it examines #Health #Youth #Attractiveness #US
Gene expression can be used to predict age and mortality 🚨 Impressive study from @gladyshev_lab @harvardmed using RNA-seq data to develop accurate transcriptomic clocks across mammalian species (inc. humans) and tissues to predict age, lifespan and mortality. A great example #GeneExpression #RNASeq #AgingResearch #US
Mijn God, weer zo'n sociale wetenschapper zonder enig benul van de immunologie en infectieziekten... Hoe heb je de kennis die we vooral al hadden over infectieziekten en die we in de afgelopen zes jaar hebben verkregen zo goed weten te omzeilen @femkelakerveld? Ik weet niet eens waar ik moet beginnen bij zoveel ignorantie en domheid. Even een paar vragen? 1. Weet je het verschil tussen ziekte-specifieke sterfte en de all-cause mortality? Weet je toevallig iets over de leeftijdsgradient wat betreft ziekte en sterfte als gevolg van Covid19. 2. Heb je toevallig iets meegekregen dat de kans op een hernieuwde infectie met #SARSCoV2 veel groter was als je de vaccinatie had gehad? En dat vaccinatie dus niet werkte tegen overdracht van het virus? En dat dus tot op de dag van vandaag niet werkt? 3. Is het je opgevallen dat er #oversterfte was die vanaf 2021 alleen maar toenam? Dat terwijl bij iedere pandemie tot aan die van #covid19 een periode van oversterfte gevolgd werd door een periode van ondersterfte? Je kunt ten slotte maar een keer doodgaan. Dat alles laat zich toch maar moeilijk rijmen met jouw ongefundeerde onderbuiksstelling. 4. Waar haal je het vandaan dat er door het 'streven naar groepsimmuniteit' vele extra doden en zieken te betreuren zijn? Denk je écht nog dat de maatregelen ook maar iets bijgedragen hebben aan het verminderen van het aantal infecties? Echt waar? Niets gelezen, niets bestudeerd. Tjonge... Ik begrijp wel waarom je een 'sociale studie' hebt gedaan. Want alles wat moeilijker is, ligt ver boven jouw verstandelijke vermogens. #Covid19 #Vaccinatie #Immunologie
