American physicist, John Wheeler (1911−2008), made seminal contributions to the theories of quantum gravity and nuclear fission, but is best known for coining the term ‘black holes’. A keen teacher and mentor, he was also a key figure in the Manhattan Project. [Listener: Ken Ford]

Aug 29 (Reuters) — Britain’s state-run national health service will be the first in the world to offer an injection that treats cancer to hundreds of patients in England which could cut treatment times by up to three quarters.

Following approval from the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), NHS England said on Tuesday hundreds of eligible patients treated with the immunotherapy, atezolizumab, were set to have “under the skin” injection, which will free up more time for cancer teams.

“This approval will not only allow us to deliver convenient and faster care for our patients, but will enable our teams to treat more patients throughout the day,” Dr Alexander Martin, a consultant oncologist at West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust said.

Also, Silverchain has adopted Datos Health’s RPM platform as part of its virtual care delivery.

A recent study reports something strange: When mice with Alzheimer’s disease inhale menthol, their cognitive abilities improve. It seems the chemical compound can stop some of the damage done to the brain that’s usually associated with the disease.

In particular, researchers noticed a reduction in the interleukin-1-beta (IL-1β) protein, which helps to regulate the body’s inflammatory response – a response that can offer natural protection but one that leads to harm when it’s not controlled properly.

The team behind the study, which was published in April 2023, says it shows the potential for particular smells to be used as therapies for Alzheimer’s. If we can figure out which odors cause which brain and immune system responses, we can harness them to improve health.

This isn’t a new discovery but something we’ll have to deal with in some places. I’ve actually drank noxious tap water and got really sick.

Most Americans take it for granted that the water that comes out of their taps is clean and safe to drink.

But a new study published by a University of New Mexico scientist with colleagues from across the U.S. warns that water from many wells and community water systems contains unsafe levels of toxic contaminants, exposing millions to health risks, including cancer.

There are a lot of things to detest about poop. It’s poop, for one. It smells. It carries disease. It never stops being produced. But that aside, there’s a lot to like about poop.

It’s one of the world’s most plentiful sources of nutrients for fertilizers. Processed properly, poop can also be converted into electricity. It even be used as new artistic medium, though somebody’s already scooped up the prize for poop painting. As the world’s population grows, both the positive and the negative effects of poop on public health and the environment will only grow, so a burgeoning group of brave scientists are trying to figure out how to make the best of a crappy situation.

Cancer relies on metabolism pathways to grow, which has Rogel Cancer Center researchers looking at how to use food and diet to exploit cancer’s vulnerabilities as a foundation of new potential therapies.
