October 7th, 2023 changed a lot in this world... Here's something to think about is there anyone or anything in this world that can keep Benjamin "Machiavelli" Netanyahu in check?

Serum zinc is often deficient in patients with liver cirrhosis and hepatic encephalopathy (HE), according to a study. Divakar Kumar, M.D. and colleagues measured the serum zinc level in 150 patients with liver cirrhosis with HE. The researchers found that the majority of patients with liver cirrhosis with HE had zinc deficiency. There was a statistically significant association between low serum zinc levels and West Haven criteria grades of HE. Across classes of cirrhosis, serum zinc levels showed highly significant differences. In patients who died, the mean serum zinc level was significantly low (35.56 versus 48.36). There was a strong...

Aside from the Bush/Gore recount fiasco — Election *Day* is supposed to mean just that. Absentee ballots were for military servicemen and expats overseas. What steps need to be - CAN be taken - for this endless counting into oblivion to stop, especially in states like AZ, CA, and NV?

A drug commonly used to treat glaucoma has been shown in zebrafish and mice to protect against the build-up in the brain of the protein tau, which causes various forms of dementia and is implicated in Alzheimer's disease. Researchers screened more than 1,400 clinically-approved drug compounds using zebrafish genetically engineered to make them mimic so-called tauopathies. They discovered that drugs known as carbonic anhydrase inhibitors—of which the glaucoma drug methazolamide is one—clear tau build-up and reduce signs of the disease in zebrafish and mice carrying the mutant forms of tau that cause human dementias. Professor David Rubinsztein, Dr. Angeleen Fleming...

In patients with chronic kidney disease, the loss of podocytes—part of the kidney's glomerular filtration barrier—causes irreversible disease progression. So far, physicians and researchers have found no way to effectively prevent podocyte damage, loss, and deterioration leading to end-stage kidney disease. Laura Perin, Ph.D. conducted a study that is offering promising results. They fed animal models with chronic kidney disease a specialized low-salt, fasting-mimicking diet (LS-FMD) equivalent to the recommended daily intake for human patients with chronic kidney disease. The researchers found that six cycles of this diet slowed the deterioration of kidney structures and function in rodents. Crucially, it...

This confirms majority R in the House.

Researchers have published a case report that signifies a potential breakthrough in the treatment of an aggressive type of prostate cancer. The report centers around a 60-year-old Air Force Veteran diagnosed with stage four metastatic prostate cancer and the positive outcomes of being treated with trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd), an antibody drug conjugate. The patient did not respond to multiple lines of therapy and experienced persistent tumor progression. As a last resort, the researchers tested for HER2 by immunohistochemistry, which came back positive and the patient was treated off-label in February 2024 with T-DXd. The antibody drug conjugate, which is FDA...

Hillary Clinton is in an unimaginably difficult position today, when, eight years after she lost the presidential race to Donald Trump, she had to witness another powerful woman, Kamala Harris, lose to him as well. In what has been a day of deep shock and disappointment for Democrats, Hillary has now joined the conversation. In an emotional post on Instagram, she and husband Bill Clinton—the United States’s 42nd president—voiced their sadness over Harris’s loss as well as their hope for progress in the country. “Kamala Harris and Tim Walz ran a positive, forward-looking campaign to be proud of. The American...

A day after her husband’s big election night win, Melania Trump took to social media to address the nation. “The majority of Americans have entrusted us with this important responsibility,” Mrs Trump said. “We will safeguard the heart of the republic – freedom,” she vowed, and urged Americans to rise above ideology for the sake of the country. It was a brief message, but suggested a shift in how the former first lady will approach the role this second time around. When Trump won his first presidency in 2016, his wife was initially absent from the White House, instead staying...

George Clooney feels he is being used as a ‘scapegoat’ in the furious blame game over who could have cost Kamala Harris the election – and will now take a step back from politics. The Hollywood star, 63, threw his support behind Harris after penning a blistering op-ed on why Joe Biden would cost the Democrats the win if he didn’t abandon his campaign, but it still wasn’t enough to prevent an historic victory for Donald Trump. Clooney has since been criticized by Democrats for his influence during the election, with some claiming Harris' loss was his fault. The Oscar-winner...

Scientists have long suspected the keto diet might be able to calm an overactive immune system and help some people with diseases like multiple sclerosis. Now, they have reason to believe it could be true. Scientists have discovered that the diet makes the gut and its microbes produce two factors that attenuated symptoms of MS in mice. If the study translates to humans, it points toward a new way of treating MS and other autoimmune disorders with supplements. The keto diet severely restricts carbohydrate-rich foods, but allows unlimited fat consumption. Without carbohydrates to use as fuel, the body breaks down...

What the hell is going on in the US Senate? Hours after Donald Trump wins the most conclusive mandate in 40 years, Mitch McConnell engineers a coup against his agenda by calling early leadership elections in the senate. Two of the three candidates hate Trump and what he ran on. One of them, John Cornyn, is an angry liberal whose politics are indistinguishable from Liz Cheney’s. The election is Wednesday, it’s by secret ballot, and it will determine whether or not the new administration succeeds. Rick Scott of Florida is the only candidate who agrees with Donald Trump. Call your...

Federal Government needs to take over Federal Elections. States can regulate and conduct their own.

Maricopa County released another batch of election results totaling 104,407 ballots Saturday night, and it’s clear that something’s not right. The results went 42.4% for Kari Lake and 54.5% for her opponent, Democrat Ruben Gallego, who is actually a neighbor and friend of Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer. But it’s not over yet, as hundreds of thousands of ballots are yet to be counted. Remember that Stephen Richer, the county’s top election official, also hates Kari Lake with a passion. The Gateway Pundit reported on a deposition he gave in his defamation lawsuit against Kari Lake, where it was revealed...
