House Representative Jennifer Pedrazas Urgent Plea for Teachers Health System Reform in Bogot
After the launch of the new health system for teachers, after complaining about the various problems related to care for the 819,000 users, House representative Jennifer Pedraza made a public video in which a member of the Fomag user’s family asked for attention to her sister.
“I have to take my clothes off the street. My sister is going to die. Help me, help me. You as teachers, help me. “My sister is going to die, she has a heart attack,” the woman screams during the recording, which lasts only 23 seconds.
After the scandal and the amount of anger the video had on social networks, the Teaching Fund spoke out and confirmed that the patient is being transferred to Bogotá to receive adequate care.
“The patient is being transferred in a medical unit, from Facatativa to Bogotá, to receive priority care in a high-complexity hospital. “We remain committed to the health of our teachers,” the entity said.
Regarding the conference, after publishing the video, she pointed out that the transition in the teachers’ health system has taken place in the context of improvisation and warned that teachers are desperate because of the lack of attention to their cases .
Tumor suppressor found
MADRID (EFE).— An international team of researchers, including the Spaniard Juan Cadiñanos, discovered a new therapeutic target against breast cancer that opens up new treatment possibilities.
The finding, reported in the journal of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), describes the fundamental role that a set of proteins plays in stopping the multiplication of tumor cells in certain types of breast cancer.
Researchers had already found that there are a series of breast tumors that have high levels of a protein called Aurora A, involved in cell division and, therefore, in the multiplication of cancer, explains Spaniard Juan Cadiñanos, scientific director of the Asturias Medical Center Foundation.
The paradox is that, although drugs had been designed to inhibit the Aurora A protein and prevent the evolution of tumors, the results of clinical trials “had not been very positive.”
The novelty of this research is the discovery of a group of several proteins formed by tumor suppressors that reduce the levels of Aurora A and the ability of cancer to reproduce.
In this protein complex, scientists identified a specific protein, called PTEN, which is a powerful tumor suppressor.

In Bolivia, more than 53,000 doses of the influenza vaccine have been applied to date, the Vice Minister of Epidemiological Surveillance, Max Enríquez, reported this Tuesday.
“Until this morning we had reported 33,000 cases of vaccinated people, and now we are already exceeding 53,000 vaccinated people, and this means that between yesterday and today we have had a good campaign,” he highlighted.
Bolivia activated a national influenza vaccination campaign for risk groups that includes girls and boys from 6 to 23 months of age, people with chronic diseases, people over 60 years of age, pregnant women and health personnel, in a first phase until end of may.
The vice minister urged the population to go to the vaccination points for immunization against the disease,
2024 Indiana Primary Election: A Key Race for Governor and More
Indiana Primary Election 2024: Voters Consider Candidates for Governor, U.S. Senate
As voters across Indiana cast their ballots in the 2024 primary election, the race for governor and U.S. Senate generated significant interest. Incumbent Governor Eric Holcomb and Senator Mike Braun are not seeking re-election, leading to a crowded field of candidates vying for these positions.
Governor Holcomb was unable to run for a third term due to state laws limiting the governor to two four-year terms within a 12-year period. The Republican primary for governor featured several candidates, including Senator Mike Braun, former state auditor and current lieutenant governor Suzanne Crouch, former Attorney General Curtis Hill, Eric Doden, and Jamie Reitenour.
Senator Braun emphasized the need for local and hands-on tactics to address Indiana’s issues, while Crouch proposed eliminating the state’s income tax. Hill focused on cutting spending and increasing investment in law enforcement, Doden advocated for pro-life policies and no-cost adoptions, and Reitenour prioritized reducing spending and bureaucracy for small businesses.
In the Democratic primary for governor, Jennifer McCormick, a former teacher and state superintendent of public instruction, ran unopposed. McCormick’s platform emphasized investments in public education and a return to bipartisan governance.

A woman has claimed she was placed in a 17-day coma after suffering a rare reaction to ibuprofen that caused her to ‘burn from the inside out’. Jaqueline Gmack, from Papanduva in Brazil, took the over-the-counter tablets in 2011 to help relieve her period cramps. Within just 48 hours, the now 31-year-old suffered a mild itch in her eye and blood blisters in her mouth.

Chronic Wasting Disease Detected in Deer and Elk in California for the First Time
Deadly neurologic disease reaches California’s wildlife
In a recent and alarming development, Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) has been detected for the first time in deer and elk populations in California. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) received confirmation on May 6, after samples from two deer were collected – one in Madera County near Yosemite Lakes and the other in Inyo County near Bishop. Unfortunately, both deer were found dead, one due to unknown causes and the other after a vehicle collision.
A grave threat to cervid animals
CWD is a fatal neurologic disease that affects animals like deer, elk, moose, and reindeer. Extensively studied, it has been detected in free-ranging cervids across 34 states in the US, including California, and in five Canadian provinces as well as Scandinavia. The disease primarily targets the brain, leading to progressive damage until it ultimately claims the animal’s life. Unfortunately, there is currently no known effective treatment or vaccine to combat this disease.
Low risk for humans, but caution advised
Thus far, there is no known link between CWD and human disease. However, it is worth noting that a similar prion disease called bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) or mad cow disease,
The evolutionarily newest part of the human brain is more peculiar than believed
The neocortex, a structure essential for human intelligence, is less than five millimeters thick. There, in the outermost layer of the brain, 20 billion neurons process countless sensory perceptions, plan actions, and form the basis of our consciousness. How do these neurons process all this complex information? That largely depends on how they are connected to each other.
What was known until now about the neuronal architecture of the human neocortex was based mainly on findings made from studying animal models such as mice.
The human neocortex is much thicker and more complex than that of the mouse. However, the scientific community had until now assumed (partly due to lack of data) that it followed the same basic principles of connectivity.
Now, in a new study, for which cutting-edge technology and exceptionally difficult to obtain tissue samples have been used, it has been proven that, contrary to what was assumed until now, the nerve cells of the human neocortex are very connected. different from those of mice.
The study was carried out by a team including, among others, Yangfan Peng and Jörg Geiger, from the Neuroscience Research Center, attached to the Charité University Hospital in Berlin,
The Relationship Between Early Menopause and Cardiovascular Disease Risk: A Closer Look at Diastolic Dysfunction
The heart supplies blood to the entire body through contraction and relaxation. Although both contractile and diastolic function are important, research has shown that early menopausal women with low diastolic function are more than double the risk of developing cardiovascular disease.
The team of Professor Park Seong-mi from the Department of Cardiology at Anam Hospital of Korea University and Professor Seong-ah Bae from the Department of Cardiology at Yongin Severance Hospital analyzed the close relationship between cardiac diastolic dysfunction and increased risk of cardiovascular diseases in women with early menopause and published the report in Scientific Reports, an international scientific journal.
When the heart’s diastolic function declines, it becomes difficult to supply blood to the entire body, which can lead to cardiovascular disease and heart failure. According to the research group, there are estimates of the cardiovascular risk of early menopause or simple results of big data analysis, but little research has identified the mechanism of its onset in clinical practice.
The subjects of this study were 795 postmenopausal women selected from the database of the Women’s Heart Disease Research Group of the Korean Association of Cardiology (KoROSE). They were followed for an average of 771 days and analyzed the relationship between menopause and decline in cardiac diastolic function.
World Asthma Day: Complete freedom from asthma symptoms can usually be achieved with modern medication! 2024-05-08 02:08:52
On the occasion of World Asthma Day on May 7th, the Austrian Society of Pulmonology emphasizes: Always take asthma seriously and treat it in a timely manner
Vienna (OTS) – Bronchial asthma affects 5% of the adult population and 10% of children in Austria. This is a chronic inflammatory reaction of the bronchi due to environmental stimuli such as fine dust, cigarette smoke or allergens.
Univ.-Doz. Dr. Felix Wantke, head of the ÖGP expert group Allergy and Asthma: “Asthma is always a serious illness and must be treated in the best possible way. Not all asthma is the same – there are different asthma subtypes or asthma profiles that also need to be treated differently. The aim is always to achieve sufficient control of inflammation and, as a result, freedom from symptoms. Thanks to the findings of the last decade with regard to pathological inflammatory processes at the molecular biological level, we now have active ingredients in the form of biologics that enable this therapeutic goal even in severe and previously uncontrollable asthma. This means that the use of high-dose oral cortisone can also be avoided.
For patients with severe asthma, an asthma profile analysis should first be carried out in specialized centers for optimally personalized therapy,
