Eye test detects disease twelve years before diagnosis 2024-04-18 00:21:10
Numerous diseases can also be seen in the eyes. Now doctors have discovered that they also send early warning signs of cognitive decline.
How well someone can see and how quickly they can react can be an early indicator of later dementia. This is the result of a British study. In Norfolk, 8,623 people were monitored over many years.
At the end of the observation period (after twelve years), 537 participants had developed dementia. The researchers were now able to trace which factors preceded the diagnosis.
At the start of the study, participants were asked to complete a visual sensitivity test. The task: They had to press a button as soon as they saw a triangle form in a field of moving dots.
Deficits in processing visual impressions
People who later developed dementia were much slower to recognize this triangle on the screen than people who did not develop the disease. Study leader Eef Hogervorst explains the results in the magazine “Science Alert”: “Visual problems can be an early indicator of cognitive decline, as the toxic amyloid plaques associated with Alzheimer’s disease can initially affect areas of the brain that are linked to vision.

“That fucks my whole journey. Instead of helping me, it harms me,” says Steve Brisebois, who has been going back and forth between prison and the street since 2017. Suffering from chronic pain since a fall of around forty feet that occurred 15 years ago , he obtained prescriptions for opiates “to be able to function,” he summarizes. “If I don’t have painkillers, I’m not able to walk in the morning. »

During Steve Brisebois’ last visit to the Saint-Jérôme Provincial Detention Facility (EDSJ), the infirmary staff allegedly changed his medication, suspecting an allergic reaction. From a cocktail of fentanyl, oxycodone and codeine, in particular, he moved to hydromorphone, a synthetic derivative of morphine. “They gave me a big cleaning,” says Steve.
But everything has changed since his return to freedom last September: no general practitioner, nurse practitioner or pharmacist wanted to renew this long-term prescription.
For three months, I went to the emergency room to get my opiates refilled because I didn’t have a doctor and there, I was stuck on the street.
Plenary authorizes creating a faculty of human medicine at the Micaela Bastidas University of Apurmac

With 107 votes in favor, 0 against and 7 abstentions, the Plenary Session of Congress approved the opinion contained in Bill No. 5957, which authorizes the creation of the faculty of human medicine at the Micaela Bastidas National University of Apurímac (UNAMBA). ).
The initiative was supported by the president of the Education, Youth and Sports Commission, José Balcázar (PB), who maintained that the purpose of the regulation is to satisfy the demand for medical professionals in the department of Apurímac and in the country.
Likewise, he stated that the proposal will improve the quality of medical care and promote the economic and social development of Apurímac through the training of highly trained professionals.
It should be noted that UNAMBA, according to its powers and autonomy, will be responsible for the implementation and start-up of the faculty of human medicine, under the supervision of the National Superintendency of Higher Education (SUNEDU).

Sophie Kinsella, I have brain cancer, Im having chemo Focus Tumor news
The English writer Sophie Kinsella has brain cancer, has undergone surgery and is undergoing radiotherapy and chemotherapy. She announced it herself with a message on social media.
“I have wanted to share a health update with you for a long time – writes the author of many best sellers – and I was waiting for the strength to do so. At the end of 2022 I was diagnosed with glioblastoma, a form of aggressive brain cancer. I didn’t share this before because I wanted to make sure my children were able to hear and process the news in privacy and adjust to our new normal.” Kinsella also addresses all those suffering from cancer in any form: “To them I send love and best wishes, as well as to those who support them. Having a difficult diagnosis can make you feel very alone and scared and the support and care of Those around you mean more than words can say.”

Insights from Physicist’s Study on SARS-CoV-2 Virus Suggest Potential Indicators of Simulation Existence
In his latest study, Dr. Melvin Vopson, a physicist, examined mutations in the SARS-CoV-2 virus from an information entropy perspective. He introduced the concept of “information entropy,” which refers to the decrease in entropy over time. While traditional entropy tends to increase, information entropy tends to decrease. This law, known as the second law of infodynamics, implies that there must be another entropy – information entropy – that balances the increase in traditional entropy.
A New Law of Physics?
However, Vopson acknowledges that confirmation of the second law of infodynamics would not definitively prove we are living in a simulation. Other quantum mechanical effects suggest otherwise.
A physicist studying mutations of the SARS-CoV-2 virus claims to have found evidence for a new law of physics termed the “second law of Infodynamics”, and that it could indicate we are living in a simulated universe. On top of that, he suggests the study appears to imply that the theory of evolution is incorrect, with mutations not being entirely random.
Unraveling Mutations
If confirmed, this finding would overturn our understanding of evolution. Vopson believes that mutations are not random but instead follow a law that ensures information entropy remains constant or decreases over time.
Sun Derong, known as the Idol Godfather, reveals bitter experience after bladder cancer treatment
Sun Derong, known as the “Ace Ace”, has often appeared in the media due to health problems in recent years.

- Awaited for several months, the bill on assisted dying was presented on Wednesday, April 10, to the Council of Ministers, before the examination of the text, scheduled for May 27 in the National Assembly.
- Its initial version, transmitted to the Council of State on March 15, lists the eligibility conditions. The adult patient must “be of French nationality or reside stably and regularly in France” ; “be able to express one’s will in a free and informed manner” ; “to be suffering from a serious and incurable condition with a life threatening prognosis in the short or medium term” et “present refractory or unbearable physical or psychological suffering linked to this condition”. Criteria which are already raising questions among health professionals.
- At the same time, the government has promised a ten-year plan to guarantee that anyone wishing assistance in dying can have access to palliative care and pain management. Catherine Vautrin, Minister of Labor, Health and Solidarity, revealed to Monde the broad outlines of this other part of the bill,
