Early trials on bladder #cancer patients have shown promising results & the next phase of testing will focus on colorectal cancer patients.

It sounded like he said the astronaut landed on mescalin.

Anyway. #thinkaboutthis @alexskolnick
There isn't a popular #MedicalScience focused on people who had #brainDamage, experienced a #recovery, and experience #IQ on overdrive.
It's noticeable if you haven't had that for a while. Like realizing there's no longer pain, after taking #glucosamine for a while. That-- at least-- is remarkable.
Why is there #nothing on TV but #politics #racism and the #wealthy #rich #wealth #exhibitionists
I put this #SpaceScience channel on. That's good. What else can I learn? Did you ever notice that? There is nothing about how to #solider or test #amperage
Why?
That's is #oldtechnology
What year is the advent of the #transistor? @AceArsenault
In retrospect, I noticed it when I was young but more interested in #guitar #wizardry than whatever they were doing on #FullHouse
Makes sense now, in #perspective
No wonder I never watched TV.
#epiphany
I want to write more about that, but I have other things to do. There's simply not enough #time
Anyone?

This is very serious business. Going on memory, my barber needed surgery because of long-term use of medication for Crohn's disease. He died of some complication from the surgery. He had the surgery, he seemed to be recovering well, and then, quite suddenly, he was gone.

If you know someone suffering from Long Covid, they and their doctors need to read this piece in the American Journal of Emergency Medicine.
Three patients with severe Long Covid received monoclonal antibodies and "rapidly returned to normal health and previous lifestyles/occupations [...] still sustained to date over two years later."

Long COVID leaves telltale traces in the blood, finds new study

What is most interesting here, to me, is the hope that tests for patients may result from this study's findings and that medical scientists may learn that a one-size-fits-all approach may not be best.

If the doctor is speaking on a topic on which they do not have specialist knowledge, or if they misrepresent that knowledge, they are betraying the trust which the public has placed in the medical profession and #MedicalScience.” (3/3)

A 1981 symposium co-sponsored by Hilda Sokol of Dartmouth Medical School called to our attention, hereabouts, a sometimes neglected local hero, the Brattleboro Rat. The Rat has been a very useful creature in various medical research fields, ranging from diabetes to learning differences to depression. When I bring up this topic, people typically think I am joking; but actually it is very serious. We should raise a giant Brattleboro Rat statue in Pliny Park.

Many prestigious institutions and publications have posted learned articles about the Brattleboro Rat.

Fascinating!
“introduce you to a part of our bodies that was invisible to Western scientists until about five years ago; it’s called "the interstitium," a vast network of fluid channels inside the tissues around our organs that scientists have just begun to see, name, and understand.”
This is amazing. My son had complete remission from AML 22 years ago with a bone marrow transplant (from his sister). It was a long horrendous period of healing for him. If this new drug can heal people into the future, it would be an incredible advancement in treatment for leukemia.
