The words that researchers use to describe their results can be harnessed to discover potential new treatments for Parkinson's disease, according to a new study. The study employed an artificial intelligence (AI) system to identify an existing anti-cholesterol drug that has the ability to promote disposal of mitochondria, energy-making components of the cell which are damaged in the disease. The full pathogenic pathway leading to Parkinson's disease (PD) is unknown, but one clear contributor is mitochondrial dysfunction and the inability to dispose of defective mitochondria, a process called mitophagy. At least five genes implicated in PD are linked to impaired...

Man sets himself on fire on UC Berkeley campus in alarming video A man allegedly experiencing a severe mental health episode set himself on fire at the University of California at Berkeley on Wednesday — and a video capturing the distressing incident has been viewed online more than 350,000 times. The public self-immolation was reported to authorities at 4:17 p.m. after a young man completely engulfed in flames was seen walking at Sproul Plaza on campus. Bystander videos that are circulating on social media show onlookers trying to come to the man’s aid by pouring water on him and swatting...

Patients with severe eczema who were treated with the drug dupilumab experienced a reduction in symptoms and improved quality of life, according to a meta-analysis of several clinical trials. The findings suggest dupilumab is a safe, effective treatment for cases of erythrodermic atopic dermatitis, or eczema, in which more than 90% of the body was affected. Atopic dermatitis (AD) is the most common type of eczema, affecting more than 9.6 million children and about 16.5 million adults in the U.S., according to the National Eczema Association. In the current study, investigators analyzed 209 patients with erythrodermic AD in six clinical...

Inclusivity shouldn’t just be present in the workplace — it should be practiced during the hiring process as well. But unfortunately, nonbinary job seekers are facing clear biases during their job search. According to a new report from Business.com, a business resource platform, over 80% of nonbinary people believe that identifying as nonbinary would hurt their job search. Similarly, 51% believe their gender identity has affected their workplace experience “very or somewhat negatively.” Ryan McGonagill, director of industry research at Business.com and author of the report, says these statistics show just how much work there is to do around diversity,...

'This assault is being carried out by the pro-abortion forces in our culture, which include an entire political party and presidential administration,' Fr. Ed Meeks said. TOWSON, Maryland (LifeSiteNews) — A Maryland Catholic priest denounced the “demonic insanity” sweeping American culture, politics, and public life in the form of the Left’s “all-out assault” against the unborn, the push for transgender mutilations of the young, and the sexualization of children through drag shows and pornography. “A blanket of demonic insanity has fallen upon the earth,” Fr. Ed Meeks declared in a recent Lenten homily, drawing parallels between Satan’s temptation of Eve...

Washington’s Democrat Attorney General, Bob Ferguson, wants to be governor. He thinks the best way to accomplish his goal is to build gulags & psych hospitals, much like in Soviet Russia, and populate them with Christians, Conservatives and Republicans. If House Bill 1333 passes and Democrat Governor Jay Inslee signs it (he will), Ferguson’s office will have the power to arrest and/or civilly commit anyone for uttering “wrong” facts. This is a terrifying plan to redefine “domestic terrorism” to punish “conservative” speech. Ferguson seems especially afraid of “older” Americans because they have more knowledge of and respect for the Bill...

Are we a serious country? Not based on the way our government and Parliamentarians are handling the very real allegations of election interference by China. For the past two days, MPs on the Commons Procedure and House Affairs Committee have been making partisan arguments aimed at scoring points rather than getting to the truth. Someone needs to tell these buffoons that stopping election interference is a non-partisan issue, that it should concern all parties and all Canadians. These jokers though can’t help themselves in playing party politics. The Liberals have been desperate to stop any further investigation into election interference,...

A 25-year-old migrant who posed as a minor to illegally cross the border was sentenced to 60 years for killing the father of four who took him in. Yery Noel Medina Ulloa of Honduras pleaded guilty Friday in Florida to stabbing Francisco Javier Cuellar, 46, to death in 2021 — days after the Florida man took the illegal migrant into his care. “As we have seen time and time again, the federal government’s failure to secure our nation’s border has led to a travesty in a local community,” State Attorney Melissa Nelson said in a statement. Cops said they found...

The European Parliament’s environment committee voted on Wednesday (1 March) for a quick phasedown of F-gas refrigerants, in a move that drew criticism from the heat pump industry. ...Yet, not everyone is happy with the direction taken by the European Parliament. Some industries have strongly opposed scaling back F-gases at such speeds, with the European Heat Pump Association (EHPA) leading the charge. “This position represents a ban on equipment containing F-gases, in some cases as early as 2026,” EHPA said in a statement, warning that restricting F-gases “risks significantly limiting the number of heat pumps available in certain market segments.”

(snip) Gun advocates do not argue that these weapons are needed for hunting. Hunters are sportsmen and -women. During certain seasons, many of them are happy to use a bow and arrow; shooting multiple rounds at a deer isn’t a sport. Some gun owners talk about the thrill of using assault-style weapons and AR-15-style rifles for target practice. In fact, if gun advocates wish to argue that assault-style weapons are now in “common use,” that use is most likely at a rifle range. And therein lies a modest proposal: Allow these dangerous weapons to be used only at secure ranges...

In a one-on-one interview, Doug Emhoff details his aversion to being a real man. Just a couple of girls, living in the moment, discussing cootie-ridden boys! Just kidding — it was MSNBC's Jonathan Capehart and Doug Emhoff, in a one-on-one interview where the eunuchs discussed "toxic masculinity" — something about which Emhoff has thought "a lot." Take a look at the cringe-worthy video below: [video at link] First of all, let's just be clear on one thing, because this is an area where conservatives forfeit ground to leftist Newspeak. "Gender" isn't a word that applies to the human race, rather...

A couple of years ago, I ran across a thread on here regarding live tv streaming. One of the sites listed was ustvgo along with some others that I can't recall because I immediately went to the ustvgo site which it was terrific. It had it all plus it was free. Since I don't have TV, I had it on my PC everyday and had access to all cable and network stations. In January it was taken down and the message left was 'sorry, we are closed'. After doing some research, it looks like some heavy weights got involved and...

MOSUL, Iraq — On Wednesday, new bells were raised over the Church of the Dominican Convent (Our Lady of the Hour), also known as the Clock Church or Latin Church, in Mosul, Iraq, during restoration work carried out by a team from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the Dominican Order. The church bells had been removed and melted down by the Islamic State (ISIS), which had converted the church into a detention center for ISIS opponents during its control of Mosul. The new bells were sent from Normandy in France. Meanwhile, the media office of...

Statewide prosecutor Paul Dontenville said during opening statements that Wasso was a self-proclaimed psychic who, three years ago, convinced her client Lin Halfon that the cash would ward off evil spirits and break a family spell. Dontenville read from a series of text messages between Wasso and Halfon. "Lin, want me to tell you what’s going on? Your mother is going to die.'" Halfon’s mother was ill at the time. Prosecutors say Wasso told Halfon the money would break a family curse and cure her mother of cancer. Dontenville explained Wasso pressured Halfon to come up with the money, pricey...

During the 2016 elections, Kellyanne served first as a campaign advisor to candidate Trump and then as his campaign manager, while her husband co-founded the Lincoln Project with the express purpose of keeping Trump out of the White House. After the inauguration, she became senior counselor to the president, while George continued to lambast Trump at every opportunity on social media.

Responding to critics of his January article on “radical inclusion“ for “LGBT people, women, and others in the Catholic Church,” Cardinal Robert McElroy of San Diego characterized “the moral tradition in the church that all sexual sins are grave matter” as a 17th-century innovation that is “jarringly inconsistent with the larger universe of Catholic moral teaching.” “For most of the history of the church, various gradations of objective wrong in the evaluation of sexual sins were present in the life of the church,” Cardinal McElroy wrote in an article published on March 2 in the Jesuit periodical America. “But in...
