Researchers have found vitamin D encourages the growth of a type of gut bacteria in mice which improves immunity to cancer. The researchers found mice given a diet rich in vitamin D had better immune resistance to experimentally transplanted cancers and improved responses to immunotherapy treatment. This effect was also seen when gene editing was used to remove a protein that binds to vitamin D in the blood and keeps it away from tissues. Surprisingly, the team found that vitamin D acts on epithelial cells in the intestine, which in turn increase the amount of a bacteria called Bacteroides fragilis....

At places we used to call institutions of higher learning, ignorant kids who don’t know any better and their ignorant professors who should, but also don’t, are trespassing in support of the raping, beheading, kidnapping, burning alive hostage takers of Hamas. It’s a revolting scene. Even in Nazi Germany they tried to hide their atrocities. In contrast, Hamas posts them on the internet, and their sympathizers at American universities embrace both the terrorists and their terror like the latest hula hoop fad. (Watch out, trannies, you’re so-o-o-o 2023. And watch out, BLM, you’re so-o-o-o 2021.) Much as these terror-sympathizers disgust...

A research team found positive effects of tai chi and aerobic exercise on sleep quality, psychological well-being, physical function, and circadian rhythm in patients with advanced lung cancer. The study, conducted over a four-year period, discovered additional advantages in terms of improving one-year survival rates and reducing fatigue. The research has demonstrated remarkable potential of tai chi as a non-pharmacological intervention for improving survival in advanced lung cancer patients. The research team conducted a meta-analysis to examine the effects of aerobic and mind-body exercises, two widely recognized forms of physical exercises, which differ in intensity and modality. The study showed...

A quality improvement (QI) initiative to standardize care for babies in the NICU following surgery correlated with fewer unplanned intubations and improved mortality rates. The study streamlined care following surgery in 2019 through routine use of acetaminophen (Tylenol) for pain control, rather than opioids, and use of a checklist to ensure patients were ready for extubation. Following these changes, the number of unplanned intubations decreased more than 75%, resulting in 11 fewer unplanned intubations each year in the NICU. The percentage of infants receiving acetaminophen following surgery increased from 25% to 90%, which resulted in a significant decline in opioid...

Most voters think Democrats are “using the government and legal system in biased ways to” politically damage former President Donald Trump, according to a Harvard-Harris poll. The poll, published Monday, asked 1,961 registered voter respondents: Do you think the legal prosecutions of Donald Trump are fair and unrelated to politics, or do you think the Democrats today are engaged in lawfare — a campaign using the government and the legal system in biased ways to take out political opponents? A majority of 57 percent said they believe Democrats are engaged in “lawfare” against Trump, while 43 percent believe the prosecutions...

Conditions such as diabetes, heart attack, and vascular diseases commonly diagnosed in people with spinal cord injuries can be traced to abnormal post-injury neuronal activity that causes abdominal fat tissue compounds to leak and pool in the liver and other organs, a new animal study has found. Researchers found that a short course of the drug gabapentin prevented the damaging metabolic effects of spinal cord injury. Experiments revealed a cascade of abnormal activity within seven days after the injury in neurons and in visceral fat tissue. "As soon as we disrupt sensory processing as a result of spinal cord injury,...

Cernovich @Cernovich Israel pays for abortions. Gaza banned them. Not one conservative of prominence truly believes, “Abortion is murder.” That’s all big mouth talk. Otherwise they’d confront this head on. It would present a major moral dilemma.

MSNBC commentator Donny Deutsch said Monday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that former President Donald Trump looked beat up while attending the New York City business records trial. Host Nicolle Wallace said, “Donnie, I think in terms of Trump’s brand, I’ve said this a million times, I’ve said this to you, this is the only criminal case that he’s not running on, right. And these are the only facts that he’s running from. He stands in front of the courthouse bloviating and waving around papers but these are not facts that he embraces even though the alleged relationships with Stormy and Karen...

MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace said Monday on her show “Deadline” that it was not accurate to say everyone in the Republican Party is a conspiracy theorist but “as with racist, all of the conspiracy theorists are Republicans.” Wallace said, “Every single candidate to be the Republican Party nominee to run in Georgia’s Third Congressional District rushed to endorse not just Trump but the lies he told, the lies that led to a deadly insurrection. The eager embrace of the election conspiracies now clearly a prerequisite to be elected in Republican Party politics.”
