Moscow Times... Townspeople protesting a toxic landfill near Moscow have been handed out gas masks as officials bucked demands to declare a state of emergency. The head of the Volokolamsk district pledged to declare an emergency after hundreds of residents flocked to the streets late on Thursday demanding the closure of the foul-smelling garbage dump. The protests, which began en masse late last month, reignited after scores of schoolchildren were reportedly poisoned by toxic gases from the Yadrovo landfill last week.

Stock/Doc Gumshoe... A projected winner hits a snag No sooner had the Doc Gumshoe dossier about the 2017 FDA approvals posted than a bit of bad news surfaced about one of those winners. AstraZeneca’s Imfinzi (durvalumab) was approved for the treatment of urothelial carcinoma (an advanced form of bladder cancer), and was projected to bring in about $2.8 billion. Imfinzi was being evaluated in a Phase 1 / 2 study as part of combination therapy in HPV-associated cancers with a new agent from Advaxis, axalimogene filolisbac. The short take version (and I did promise short takes, didn’t I?) is that after five doses of the combined therapy, which went just fine, a patient with ...

A promising new cancer "vaccine" that cured up to 97 percent of tumors in mice will soon be tested in humans for the first time — but experts say that we're still a long way off from this type of drug being prescribed to cancer patients. Researchers from Stanford University will test the therapy in about 35 people with lymphoma by the end of the year, according to SFGate, a local news outlet in San Francisco. The treatment stimulates the body's immune system to attack cancer cells. In studies in mice with various cancers — including lymphoma, breast cancer and colon cancer — the treatment eliminated cancer tumors in 87 out of 90 mice, even when the tumors ...

There's more evidence that exposing yourself to cold temperatures could trigger weight loss Business Insider Kevin Loria 6 days ago © Shutterstock/Dudarev Mikhail If you want to lose weight, you might consider getting comfortable with the cold. A new study published in the Nature journal Scientific Reports has found evidence that exposure to cold temperatures could transform the type of fat we form in our bodies, and even potentially help us burn off excess body fat. For the research, scientists differentiated stem cells (which can become other types of cells) to become fat cells at both normal body temperature and at a slightly cooler temperature. They found that at the ...
More Lies from the Presstitutes

The shameless liars that comprise the US media intentionally exaggerated the marchers against “gun violance” by four times the acutal number. Why? Why are the media presstitutes involved in advocacy of agendas and not in reporting factual news? Recent polls show that a majority of Americans believe that gun ownership makes people safer. Americans do not believe that people should be denied safety because of an occasional nutcase or a staged shooting to advance the gun control agenda. Indeed, they wonder who is behind the gun control agenda. They wonder about the dumbshits who are protesting the Second Amendment instead of Washington’s rush into conflict with Russia. I ...

TEHRAN (FNA)- Scientists have found a genetic trigger that may improve the brain's ability to heal from a range of debilitating conditions, from strokes to concussions and spinal cord injuries. A new study in mice from UT Southwestern's O'Donnell Brain Institute shows that turning on a gene inside cells called astrocytes results in a smaller scar and - potentially - a more effective recovery from injury. The research examined spinal injuries but likely has implications for treating a number of brain conditions through gene therapy targeting astrocytes, said Dr. Mark Goldberg, Chairman of Neurology & Neurotherapeutics at UT Southwestern. "We've known that ...

CHN... These days, most folks are aware that there are good and bad fats. Avocadoes, olives, nuts and seeds containing healthful Omega 3s and 6s are widely recognized as beneficial, while we've been told to avoid fried, hydrogenated and processed fats. For many, dairy is also verboten; Often patients are advised to stay away from milk and cheese, which are considered fodder foods for clogged arteries and heart disease. They are, we're told, high in so-called “saturated fat” (the “bad” kind), and they’re loaded with sodium, blamed for circulatory issues, hypertension and kidney problems. But, as with all subjects that are “common knowledge”, ...
A new antioxidant has been found that is... 400% FASTER and BETTER absorbed than resveratrol!

Infomercial... In research supported by the National Institutes of Health, healthy human volunteers were tested to see how well they absorbed and digested resveratrol. The study showed that the dose absorbed quickly. But after it was metabolized, researchers found "only trace amounts of unchanged resveratrol" circulating in the body. In fact, the report stated "Most of the oral dose was recovered in urine."2 That means your body can't really use it! Now many human studies confirm this: resveratrol supplements yield low blood and tissue levels of resveratrol.3 The reason: it's metabolized too fast. The liver rapidly breaks it down into a form that no longer ...

CHN... I don’t usually eat grapefruit, but every once a while I’ll get the urge to take a bite or two and as soon as the lip puckering tang gets in my mouth, I’ll remember why I don’t like the stuff. Apparently I’m not alone. Google “I hate grapefruit” and you’ll get nearly 578,00 hits! According to a poll of 8,066 respondents taken on the website Amplicate, 26 percent were grapefruit averse, many of whom would no doubt concur with the American playwright Harry Crews who wrote in his biography that when he first tasted the sour fruit, “I only had to touch my lips to my piece to know something was wrong, bad wrong.” The grapefruit, which ...

BEIJING, March 20 (Xinhua) -- One of the biggest problems for cancer patients is the high recurrence rates after surgery. But a novel hydrogel recently developed by Chinese scientists has proved helpful in eliminating residual tumor tissues and preventing infection. A team of researchers from Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology published their findings in the journal "Advanced Science" earlier this month, highlighting the efficacy of the black phosphorus (BP) incorporated hydrogel in the photothermal platform. Cancer patients often blame radiotherapy and chemotherapy for their serious complications and side effects. More and more people are opting for photothermal ...

Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution states that an organism will evolve and develop desirable variations and characteristics to ensure its survival. Disease-causing organisms like viruses and bacteria are living true to this theory by evolving and mutating to resist our drugs, vaccines, treatments, and immune systems. Of course, their quest for survival isn’t in our best interests. But to them, they’re only trying to exist, nothing personal. We would have done the same if we were in their shoes.

Home Cleaning Products Bombshell: Exposure Equivalent to Smoking 20 Cigarettes a Day, Study Says Dr. Josh Axe Like many Americans, I grew up in the age of oversanitation in a house full of home cleaning products. As I shared in my book, Eat Dirt, my mom regularly scrubbed down our kitchen counter with household bleach. The sink was so shiny that it sparkled, and our floors were spotless. She didn’t do this to hurt us; she thought it was keeping us safe. Years later, many of the moms I met in my practice had the same “kill-all-germs” standard for their homes. After all, it’s what they thought would best protect their families. In reality, there are lots of reasons to ...

100 Fattest US Cities Revealed… Looks Like Bad News for Arkansas By Ben Marquis March 15, 2018 at 2:13pm The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development recently released a report which measured and ranked obesity in member countries around the globe, and perhaps unsurprisingly, the United States was pretty high up on the list. The study, which ran counter to others placing America lower in the rankings, found that roughly 38 percent of U.S. adults were obese or overweight, and with the rate of increase rising sharply, it was projected that more than 45 percent of U.S. adults would be considered obese by the year 2030. The OECD obesity study compelled WalletHub to ...

TUESDAY, March 13, 2018 (HealthDay News) -- Long-term, low-level lead exposure may be linked with more than 256,000 premature deaths from heart disease in middle-aged and older Americans each year, according to a new study. The researchers analyzed data from 14,300 people in the United States, covering nearly 20 years. All participants had a medical exam and a blood test for lead at the start of the study. The findings revealed a link between low-level exposure and increased risk of premature death. Lead exposure has been associated with hardened arteries, high blood pressure and coronary heart disease, according to the researchers. "Our study estimates the impact of historical ...

Five New York City doctors were arrested Friday on charges that they accepted bribes and kickbacks from an Arizona-based pharmaceutical company to prescribe large volumes of a highly addictive painkiller. The doctors allegedly were paid more than $800,000 by Insys Therapeutics Inc., according to a 75-page indictment handed up in Manhattan federal court on Friday. They pleaded not guilty for all charges including conspiracy to overprescribe the spray version of fentanyl, a highly addictive opioid. Prosecutors say the doctors, four men and a woman, collected tens of thousands of dollars working for the company's 'Speakers Bureau' over a four-year stretch beginning in August 20 ...

Trump Admin Reportedly Finalizing Anti-Drug Plan That Includes Death Penalty By Randy DeSoto March 15, 2018 at 1:51pm The Trump administration is preparing to roll out its plan to address the opioid crisis, which will include imposing the death penalty for some drug dealers. Politico reported President Donald Trump’s plan, which has been circulating through various federal agencies, would create a new Justice Department task force to aggressively monitor internet sales of opioid drugs. Additionally, it would address how the federal government pays for opioid prescriptions to limit access to the powerful painkillers. The target is to bring down the number of opioid ...

WASHINGTON, March 14 (Xinhua) -- Chinese and American scientists identified a new immune target that may speed up the healing of skin wounds. The study, published on Wednesday in the journal Science Translational Medicine, has found that a molecular signaling pathway helps to regulate the small, membrane-surrounded structures released by cells called extracellular vesicles from connective tissue stem cells. The vesicles, containing the interleukin-1 receptor antagonist or IL-1RA, a kind of cytokine, can promote rapid wound healing. It has shown that vesicles produced by gum connective tissue stem cells released larger amounts of IL-1RA in wounded gum tissue than vesicles produced by ...

As early as your mid-40s, especially if you're sedentary, your heart muscle can show signs of aging, losing its youthful elasticity and power. But moderately strenuous exercise can change that. Maria Fabrizio for NPR Eventually it happens to everyone. As we age, even if we're healthy, the heart becomes less flexible, more stiff and just isn't as efficient in processing oxygen as it used to be. In most people the first signs show up in the 50s or early 60s. And among people who don't exercise, the underlying changes can start even sooner. "The heart gets smaller — stiffer," says Dr. Ben Levine, a sports cardiologist at University of Texas Southwestern ...

TEHRAN (FNA)- Your smartphone already has a wide array of sensors inside, but it can’t measure your blood pressure — at least not yet. Researchers from Michigan State University have developed a prototype device that measures blood pressure via your smartphone. You’re probably holding the phone for a few hours per day, so it might as well gather some health data while you do it. If you’ve ever had your blood pressure taken with a cuff device, you can probably make some guesses about what’s involved here. The sensor package, seen below paired with a Samsung Galaxy S5, takes over the back of the phone. The user has to place their finger over the sensor and apply ...
