Neuromuscular training reduces the onset of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), according to a study. Fiona Streckmann, Ph.D. and colleagues examined whether sensorimotor training (SMT) and whole-body vibration (WBV) training reduce symptoms and decrease onset of CIPN among patients undergoing treatment with oxaliplatin or vinca alkaloids.

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard said Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was assassinated in Tehran. No one immediately claimed responsibility for the assassination but suspicion immediately fell on Israel, which has vowed to kill Haniyeh and other leaders of Hamas over the group’s Oct. 7 attack on Israel that killed 1,200 people and saw some 250 others taken hostage. Iran’s statement gave no details on how Haniyeh was killed. Iranian state television reported on his death early Wednesday, and analysts immediately began blaming Israel for the attack. Israel itself did not immediately comment but it often doesn’t when...

With the news of Project 2025 effectively being laid to rest by its Heritage Foundation incubator, it is worth taking a look at how the only true MAGA operation in Washington, D.C., got demonized and neutered.The things you have to know, especially if you’re not in and around Washington, is: 1) THERE ARE ABOUT 10,000 LEFT-WING VERSIONS OF PROJECT 2025. In fact, virtually every think tank, political office, activist group, lobby group, advocacy organization, coalition, foundation, and charity has a Project 2025-style operation, which helps to pick and place proficient personnel and creates policy recommendations for their target audience.The idea...

Last week, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz went viral with his observation that former president and current GOP nominee Donald Trump and his running mate J.D. Vance are “just weird.” After Trump wildly attacked Vice President and leading Democratic candidate Kamala Harris on “Fox and Friends,” the Harris campaign responded with a scathing press release titled “Statement on a 78-Year-Old Criminal’s Fox News Appearance” that included in its bullet-point takeaways: “Trump is old and quite weird?” Since then the word has become a byword among Harris supporters, used to describe everything from Trump’s continued, and quite baffling, non sequiturs about “the...

It was translated by Gerhard Eger for Rorate Caeli.)I must admit to you, my dear Jean Madiran, that I have been tempted more than once to leave the Catholic Church wherein I was born.
