…One of the most important advances is a deepened understanding of the mechanism of IBS, which is now characterized as a disorder of the gut-brain interaction, says Hunt. Signals from the gut that might go unnoticed in individuals without IBS instead get transmitted to and interpreted by the brain as pain or the urgent need for a bowel movement. This can lead to anxiety, and the intestine, which is lined with stress hormone receptors, responds by cramping and spasming. Symptomatically, IBS manifests as abdominal pain and either constipation, diarrhea, or alternating bouts of both, and by some estimates as many...

Rubbish bins in Sweden have started groaning in pleasure and making sexually suggestive comments when trash is inserted as part of a new initiative to prevent littering. Footage shows the bins saying 'thank you', 'aaah that was crazy nice', 'oh, right there, yes' and 'mmm more', seductively in Swedish as the opening is swung back and forth. Eighteen high-tech bins were installed in Malmö in 2017, with two able to talk. During the pandemic, the bins thanked residents for steering clear. Now city authorities have added both a female and male voice to the bins so depositors have a chance...

Patients over age 80 are considered high-risk candidates for coronary artery bypass grafting, not only because of normal wear and tear on the body, but also because of comorbidities and risks of complications after surgery. No hard-and-fast guidelines are available to assess the risks and benefits for octogenarians. Patients and physicians often choose not to proceed with surgery, and that decision carries its own risks and disadvantages. A new retrospective study finds that, although there's a higher surgical risk for patients over age 80, coronary artery bypass grafting may be associated with favorable outcomes and increased long-term survival. Researchers reviewed...

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis on Monday clarified his government’s stance on babies receiving COVID-19 vaccines, stating that “there’s no proven benefit” for the controversial injections to be used in infants. DeSantis slammed the “legacy media” and the Biden administration over their support for COVID-19 vaccines being administered to children. They came out with an article saying ‘the state of Florida has not ordered, it’s department of health has not ordered mRNA jabs for the babies,'” said DeSantis. “Yes. We didn’t. We recommend against it.” We are not going to have any programs where we are trying to jab six month...

Here’s what you need to know about the United States: it’s a lie. All of those things we say we believe in, like individual liberty, the Bill of Rights, capitalism….the vast majority support them conditionally, at best. This haphazard adherence to basic civil liberties has been on full display recently as the Right and the Left seem to be in some kind of a race to see who can do the most damage to the First Amendment and principles of free speech. But while the Left works to implement dystopian “disinformation boards” and the Right passes laws giving states the...
