Gut Microbe Byproduct Drives pancreatic cancer Immunity
Pancreatic cancer is a particularly deadly disease with a tumor microenvironment that aggressively suppresses immune response. ... In the study, the researchers administered TMAO and observed effects on tumor growth and immune response in the tumor microenvironment. They found evidence that TMAO stimulated action from immune cells such as macrophages and T cells as well as increased pancreatic cancer’s responsiveness to ICB therapy, ultimately boosting the body’s ability to identify and attack cancer cells. ..."

Proposed Virginia offshore Wind Facility Threatens Endangered Whales
Not only are these near coastline wind energy farms very ugly and mass bird and insect killers!
"North Atlantic Right Whales (NARW) are majestic giants of the seas. ...
There are only approximately 300 NARWs alive today. Various federal laws are supposed to protect the whales. The Endangered Species Act and the Marine Mammal Protection Act, for example, forbid activities that take, seriously harm, or harass the whales or force them out of their critical habitat. If the state of Virginia, Dominion Energy, and the Biden administration have their way, however, NARWs could soon be no more.
The proposed Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind Project is directly in the NARWs’ annual migration path. Dominion Energy has applied to erect 176 wind turbines, covering an area of approximately 10 miles by 15 miles ... located 27 miles off the coast of Virginia Beach. Each turbine will sit atop a monopole extending a minimum of 80 feet into the water and about 120 feet into the ocean floor, and its height above the water will top 620 feet. ...
Whales are highly sensitive to sound, which they use to navigate. The subsea infrasound and vibrations generated by the turbines are virtually guaranteed to force the few remaining NARWs out of their critical migration routes and into one of the busiest shipping corridors in the world. This will make a bad situation worse ..." (Source: Heartland Institute Climate Change Weekly)

Flu vaccination linked to 40% reduced risk of Alzheimer’s confirmed by larger, follow up study
The study came after a link between the flu vaccine and reduced risk of Alzheimer’s disease was discovered by UTHealth Houston researchers two years prior.

T Cells Ward Off Aging with Help from Their Friends

The researchers found that when APCSs deliver their telomeres to T cells, the latter shift into stem cell-like configuration, which delays their senescence. The researchers also found that this interaction boosts long-term immunity in mice ..."
Disentangling the Facts From the Hype of Quantum Computing

According to McKinsey & Company, “fault tolerant quantum computing is expected between 2025 and 2030 based on announced hardware roadmaps for gate-based quantum computing players.” I believe this is not entirely realistic, as we still have a long journey to achieve quantum practicality—the point at which quantum computers can do something unique to change our lives. ...
In my opinion, quantum practicality is likely still 10 to 15 years away. However, progress toward that goal is not just steady; it’s accelerating. ..."

Western societies soft on crime and soft on mental disorders
For decades it was promoted as progress to be soft on criminals, because we are told they are victims of social injustices or whatever. Police officers have been treated as presumptive criminals. What did we get? Recidivism at an unprecedented scale. On a daily basis citizens have to suffer crimes from known repeat offenders that could have been easily prevented.
Decades ago it was considered progress to close as many mental institutions as possible. We were told that most mentally ill are harmless and can care for themselves. What did we get? More homelessness among people, who need treatment, but were left untreated for years, and who need help with reintegration into society.
The prompt demand for Windfall profit taxes
Like the proverbial Pavlovian reflex, whenever some businesses are perceived to make too much profits (whatever that is), too many Western politicians demand the immediate imposition of an ad hoc windfall profit tax!
What kind of greed is that by these politicians!
First of all, business profits, whether small or large, whether incremental or sudden, will eventually be taxed!
Arbitrary and sudden interventions into business taxation are extremely bad and counterproductive policies! Taxation needs to be predictable and steady!

Children in the U.S. with COVID-19 have a substantially higher risk of developing type 1 diabetes. Really!
The Table shows population characteristics before and after matching. The study population included 1 091 494 pediatric patients: 314 917 with COVID-19 and 776 577 with non–COVID-19 respiratory infections. The matched cohort included 571 256 pediatric patients: 285 628 with COVID-19 and 285 628 with non–COVID-19 respiratory infections. By 6 months after COVID-19, 123 patients (0.043%) had received a new diagnosis of T1D, but only 72 (0.025%) were diagnosed with T1D within 6 months after non–COVID-19 respiratory infection. At 1, 3, and 6 months after infection, risk of diagnosis of T1D was greater among those infected with SARS-CoV-2 compared with those with non–COVID-19 respiratory infection (1 month: HR, 1.96 [95%CI, 1.26-3.06]; 3 months: HR, 2.10 [95% CI, 1.48-3.00]; 6 months: HR, 1.83 [95% CI, 1.36-2.44]) and in subgroups of patients aged 0 to 9 years, a group unlikely to develop type 2 diabetes, and 10 to 18 years (Figure). Similar increased risks were observed among children infected with SARS-CoV-2 compared with other control cohorts at 6 months (fractures: HR, 2.09 [95% CI, 1.41- 3.10]; well child visits: HR, 2.10 [95% CI, 1.61- 2.73])."

Congratulations Giorgia Meloni, the next Prime Minister of Italy
It will be very interesting to watch what a woman can do in this still quite patriarchal society! Let's have a front row seat!
Hopefully, she will make the government of Italy less chaotic since 1945!
She made it all the way to the top from humble beginnings (Born in Rome; father from Sardinia; mother from Sicily; father left when she was 11)! Very impressive!
Just the fact that the leftists are up in arms about what they call a fascist is a good start! She must be the granddaughter of Mussolini, so it seems. Looks like the Italian voters can no longer be scared with such labels, which is a good thing!
She recently said in public, she is not for gender quotas! Da capo!
She can definitely not be worse than the last Prime Minister and lifetime unaccomplished loser Mario Draghi (also better known as Dracula)
