A new paper from Germany posted on April 5, 2023 proves that the spike protein accumulates in the brain and causes death of brain cells (which would certainly explain a great deal of what we see around us). (click here) Key findings: “Our results revealed the accumulation of the spike protein in the skull marrow, brain meninges, and brain parenchyma.” “The injection of the spike protein alone caused cell death in the brain, highlighting a direct effect on brain tissue.” “we observed the presence of spike protein in the skull of deceased long after their COVID-19 infection, suggesting that the...

A-ok. Yang Yu models the new liquid metal electrodes holding two batteries to power LEDs connected by a circuit © Jing LiuPainting a patient’s skin with a liquid metal ink could make heart monitoring much less painful and even let doctors keep an eye on a whole range of vital signs. Scientists used the ink to draw electrodes on to the skin, which could also be used to monitor muscle or brain activity.1Currently, doctors monitor a patient’s heartbeat by detecting the muscle’s electrical signals using electrocardiography (ECG). Disposable electrodes attach to a patient’s chest using a sticky paper backing. A...

Testing electrical activity of the heart using an electrocardiogram is unlikely to help doctors figure out who is at risk of coronary heart disease, according to recommendations from a U.S. government-backed panel. The United States Preventive Services Task Force wrote on Monday that there's no good evidence the test, also known as an ECG, helps doctors predict heart risks any better than traditional considerations such as smoking, blood pressure and cholesterol levels in people with no symptoms. "It could potentially be helpful if we had evidence that doing a test like an ECG or an exercise ECG would better classify...

WHAT'S NEXT THE familiar electrocardiograms of yearly medical checkups are the routine way to record electrical activity of the heart and detect disorders in its rhythms. But the test is relatively insensitive at pinpointing small areas where there may be problems, since a standard EKG machine samples electrical potential only at a handful of points on the body's surface. But a new computer-based method developed by a researcher seeks to deliver far more detailed information about the electrical activity of the heart. Instead of a dozen or so electrodes, the technique uses 224 of them, all woven into a chain...
