Beware: Rabid Raccoon Captured in Prince Georges County Expert Weighs In
Authorities in Prince George’s County have issued a warning to residents after the capture of a rabid raccoon. This incident adds to a growing number of similar cases being reported in various parts of the region. Concerned about the potential threat to public safety, FOX 5’s Josh Rosenthal interviewed an expert to shed light on the matter.
The presence of rabid raccoons in populated areas raises significant concerns, as they can pose a serious risk to humans and domestic animals. While this particular incident serves as a stark reminder of the dangers associated with wildlife, it also prompts us to reflect on broader issues surrounding urbanization and human-wildlife interactions.
As cities expand and encroach on natural habitats, instances of wildlife entering urban areas are becoming increasingly common. This phenomenon is fueled by various factors, including deforestation, climate change, and the availability of food sources in residential neighborhoods. Consequently, conflicts arise between human populations and wildlife as these two worlds collide.
The capture of a rabid raccoon serves as a wake-up call for authorities and residents alike. It emphasizes the need for effective management strategies to handle such situations and ensure the safety of communities.

Suffering from a terminal illness. Chechen leader Kadyrov in a coma
Chechen Leader Ramzan Kadyrov’s Health in Critical Condition
Reports from Novaya Gazeta Europa have revealed that Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov is facing a terminal illness known as pancreatic necrosis. Diagnosed in 2019, Kadyrov has experienced significant weight fluctuations and has been undergoing regular procedures at Moscow’s Central Clinical Hospital.
In 2023, Kadyrov was hospitalized for pulmonary insufficiency following a sedative overdose, leading to him being placed in an induced coma and on a ventilator. While his condition appeared to stabilize in September, MRI results have caused concern among Putin’s inner circle.
Sources close to Kadyrov have expressed fears about his deteriorating health, with one stating, “The old leader will no longer be here, the disease has affected him badly. Even if he recovers now, he will no longer be neither alive nor dead.” The Kremlin is reportedly searching for a successor to ensure stability in the region, with potential candidates including Major General Apti Alaudinov.
Despite attempts by Kadyrov’s staff to deny rumors about his health, including releasing a video of him training in the gym, all signs point to a grim outcome for the Chechen leader. His passing would have significant implications for the pro-war Federation party,
Pupil Dilation Indicates Levels of Working Memory and Cognitive Load, Study Finds
Exploring the Link Between Pupil Dilation and Working Memory Performance
In recent research conducted at the University of Texas at Arlington, scientists have found a fascinating relationship between pupil dilation and an individual’s working memory performance. This discovery suggests that pupil metrics could potentially be used as non-invasive indicators of cognitive load and memory capacity.
The study involved 179 undergraduate students who were given various working memory tasks while their pupil responses were closely monitored. The researchers discovered a positive correlation between pupil dilation during cognitive tasks and higher working memory performance.
“The more a person’s eyes dilated during the task, the better they performed on tests measuring their working memory,” said Matthew Robison, assistant professor of psychology at UT Arlington.
These findings imply that individuals with greater pupil dilation are not only able to recall and process information better but also have enhanced cognitive abilities in terms of attentional intensity and consistency. This new understanding opens up exciting possibilities for using pupil dilation as a simple, non-invasive measure of working memory in cognitive assessments.
The Significance of Working Memory
To comprehend these research findings fully, it is essential to understand what exactly we mean by “working memory.” Working memory is one of the brain’s executive functions that allow humans to process information without losing track of what they’re doing.
Asthma, pay attention to the serious forms that are often underestimated
It is the Cinderella of respiratory diseases. Often underestimated because it is considered easy to resolve and manage. We are talking about asthma which, however, in its severe form, is a complex and burdensome pathology, from both a physical and psychological point of view, with significant repercussions on work, school and socialization. Because often, despite diagnosis and treatment, the disease cannot be controlled and the symptoms re-emerge. According to experts, this is due to the limited use of the most innovative drugs, the biological ones, molecules designed to act selectively on the cells or mediators of inflammation directly responsible for asthma. To offer people with uncontrolled asthma the opportunity to carry out a free specialist assessment of the state of the disease and receive useful advice for its management, “Asma zero week” returns in May: two weeks of specialist consultations in around 40 pneumology centers and specialized allergologists throughout Italy.
Asthma, a disease on the rise. Especially among children

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,
Understanding and Preventing Headaches: Insights from Neurologist Cho Yong-jin
(93) Cho Yong-jin, neurologist at Ulsan Jeil Hospital, “Headache”
Headache refers to pain that occurs inside the head and can be a symptom of various situations. Since the brain has no pain receptors, the brain itself cannot feel pain, and the pain is caused by a disturbance in the pain-sensitive structures around the brain. These structures exist in various parts of the head and neck and are classified as internal to the skull (vascular system, meninges, cranial nerves) and external to the skull (periosteum of the skull, muscles, nerves, arteries and veins, subcutaneous tissue, eyes, ears , sinuses and mucous membranes).
Treatment of headache depends on the etiology or underlying cause. Painkillers are usually taken, but most headaches resolve naturally with rest. In particular, in modern society, the use of computers and mobile phones has increased rapidly, as has the frequency of complaints of headaches due to eating problems. Learn about the causes and prevention of headaches with Dr. Cho Yong-jin, neurologist at Ulsan Jeil Hospital.
