The car bomb attack on 'Putin's Rasputin' - who Vladimir deemed 'uncontrollable' - has 'all the hallmarks of a Russian GRU execution' because the military spy group 'often include a target's family', an expert has claimed.

When successful, inflammation helps the body survive and heal after trauma. However, when recovery following an inflammatory response goes awry, it signals that damage is still occurring. Scientists identified universal features of inflammatory responses of patients who successfully recovered after surgery or acute illnesses. These features, they discovered, include precise paths that white blood cell and platelet counts follow as they return to normal. The findings could help clinicians more quickly recognize when an individual patient's recovery isn't going well, allowing them to intervene earlier. After analyzing dozens of measurements simultaneously, they found common features in the trajectories of patients...

The results remained the same even after the scientists accounted for levels of physical activity. Even in individuals who are highly physically active, time spent watching TV was associated with increased risk...
