Locatelli, thanks to the disability law we will change perspective Health and Wellbeing
(ANSA) – ROME, MARCH 16 – “We are in a particular historical moment, that of a great reform” with “law 227 of 2021, the enabling law on disability, thanks to which we will change the perspective of taking care of the person with disabilities”. This was said by the Minister of Disability, Alessandra Locatelli, speaking in the Municipality of Bologna at a meeting with associations dealing with disabilities. Among the priorities, for Minister Locatelli, “the assessment of the condition of disability must be modified. I want to have a direct impact on de-bureaucratization and simplification by eliminating repeated visits for review – assures Locatelli – because after one year, two years, three years a person who has a proven disability, it is not possible that he should repeatedly appear before a commission. It is humiliating.” “We also want to introduce the life project – explains Locatelli – which is a great revolution because starting from the wishes of the person, as the UN convention says, we can build a path and address the issues and the services must be activated by the territory, not by the person disabled person who must act in a hundred thousand directions”.

2024-03-11 07:18:50
[Ovarian Cancer/Pregnancy Preparation/Pregnancy/Chemotherapy]Being a mother is important! A 24-year-old woman in Taiwan successfully “created a human” after half a year of trying to get pregnant. Unexpectedly, 4 months into her pregnancy, she was told that her ovaries contained a malignant tumor. Upon seeing this, her family members persuaded her to undergo abortion and undergo chemotherapy, but she could not give up her unborn child. , decided to persist until the last moment. In the end, under the monitoring and companionship of doctors and family members, she successfully gave birth to a healthy baby girl, although mottled stretch marks and scars appeared on her body. She continued to undergo surgeries and treatments a few months after giving birth, shared her treatment tips, and sighed two major insights.

A Taiwanese female netizen recently posted on the online discussion forum “Dcard” as “At the age of 24, I had cancer and was pregnant at the same time.Sharing her experience, she said that she successfully got pregnant after half a year of hard work. Everything was normal in the first 3 months of pregnancy. Unexpectedly, during the 4th month prenatal check-up, the doctor pointed out that there was a 9 cm tumor in the ovary and she needed to be referred to another hospital.
No healthier alternative: dampeners for the e-cigarette

In a current study, Innsbruck researchers were now able to provide evidence that smoking e-cigarettes is associated with similar cancer-associated changes in cells as smoking cigarettes. Their results appeared in the journal “Cancer Research”.
In collaboration with an international team, Chiara Herzog and Martin Widschwendter, both from the EUTOPS research institute at the University of Innsbruck, analyzed the molecular effects of tobacco and e-cigarettes on the so-called epigenome, i.e. the cell program of different cells. Chemical markings and modifications to the DNA triggered by environmental factors can influence how genes are read – with effects on cell development and even the development of cancer.

Epigenome could change
The epigenome, imagined as “a layer of information” that overlays DNA, can change over the course of life due to a variety of genetic and non-genetic factors, such as aging or lifestyle, it said in a release. For example, smoking or tobacco consumption can affect so-called DNA methylation, which is a central indicator of epigenetic changes.
The team led by Herzog and Widschwendter looked in more than 5,300 samples from around 4,000 people – including blood samples,
Breast cancer, a tool has been developed to understand who is at risk
Artificial intelligence (AI) may soon help predict breast cancer risk following a mammogram, according to a recent study conducted by Duke University in Durham, United States. The study, published in the journal “Radiology,” introduced a new AI-based predictive tool named “AsymMirai.”
Breast cancer screening through mammography is crucial for early detection and effective treatment. Regular mammograms can significantly reduce the risk of dying from breast cancer. However, accurately predicting which women will develop breast cancer solely through screening has been a challenge.
The research coordinator, Jon Donnelly, highlighted the significance of the new AI method developed by the team. By analyzing 210,067 mammograms from 81,824 patients using the “AsymMirai” model, the researchers were able to predict breast cancer development one to five years in advance with impressive accuracy.
Donnelly emphasized that the AI tool’s predictions are easily understandable, making it a valuable resource for radiologists in diagnosing and predicting breast cancer risk. The tool focuses on localized differences between the left and right breast tissue to make its predictions.
The potential impact of this AI tool is substantial, as it could influence how often women undergo mammograms in the future. With the ability to predict cancer development years in advance,
HIV-Infected Cells Eliminated Using Nobel Prize-Winning Crispr Gene-Editing Technology, Scientists Say
HIV, the virus that has plagued humanity for decades, may finally have met its match. Scientists from the University of Amsterdam have announced a breakthrough in HIV research – they claim to have successfully eliminated the virus from infected cells using Crispr gene-editing technology.
Crispr works like molecular scissors, allowing scientists to cut out “bad” bits of DNA or inactivate them. While existing HIV medications can stop the virus from spreading, they cannot eliminate it completely.
The team at the University of Amsterdam presented their early findings at a medical conference this week as proof of concept. Although this is an exciting development, much more work needs to be done to ensure that it is safe and effective for widespread use.
This breakthrough has sparked hope among researchers and patients alike. If successful, this technology could potentially rid the body entirely of HIV and offer a cure for those living with the virus.
Challenges Ahead
However, experts caution that there are still significant challenges ahead. Dr. James Dixon, an associate professor at the University of Nottingham specializing in stem-cell and gene-therapy technologies, highlights the need for further testing:
“Much more work will be needed to demonstrate results in these cell assays can happen in an entire body for a future therapy,” he said.
Influencers bodies dictate the diet of 3 out of 4 young people
Social networks, for the new generations, increasingly have a strong psychological conditioning power. They dictate thoughts, moods and behaviors. Not always in a positive way. It would all be the fault of the reference models who appear online, almost always devoted to perfection, especially physical.
Eating disorders, +30%. And cases already at 8 years old

A problem for 3 out of 4 kids
As many as 3 out of 4 kids, for example, use that of influencers and platform stars as a reference to evaluate their external appearance. With the consequence that almost 1 in 2 tends to change their eating habits to try to fit within those standards and 30% experiment with the advice on food and well-being proposed by many of them, to try to keep up with that type of physicist. An almost impossible mission: after all, those images are often retouched with omnipresent filters. Thus self-esteem is affected: 4 out of 10 have not wanted to leave the house for fear of other people’s judgement. While almost 1 in 3 has the habit of modifying the photos they publish on social media with filters and effects.
7 symptoms that you could have type 2 diabetes
You could be living with type 2 diabetes and not knowing it. This was stated by the British authorities, after they discovered in different studies that there are many people who have not been diagnosed, despite presenting several characteristic symptoms of the disease.
And for several years, Symptoms of high blood sugar can be difficult to detect or, in many cases, they are related to other diseases or conditions.
Recent studies found that This disease does not mostly affect only older adults, but also young people, who are usually less likely to be diagnosed.
According to the latest National Health Survey, the diabetes mellitus (when people do not respond well to insulin) is diagnosed only at age 48.
So, What symptoms should you watch out for?
These 7 warning symptoms could indicate that you have diabetes without knowing it
Unlike type 1 diabetes, which occurs when a person’s pancreas does not properly produce insulin, the body of people with type 2 diabetes has trouble processing insulin.
Along these lines, according to the British National Health Service (NHS), Symptoms that could indicate that you have type 2 diabetes are:

JERUSALEM, March 20 (Xinhua) — Joint statement from Tel Aviv University. and the Israeli Cancer Society. It was revealed on Tuesday (March 19) that Israeli researchers have discovered a mechanism in the body. linking heart attacks to cancer
Journal of circulation (Circulation) published the results of the above studies. This was discovered after suffering a myocardial infarction or heart attack. The heart releases cell dust. (extracellular vesicle) small in the bloodstream in large quantities
Such membrane-bound cell dust plays an important role in healing damaged heart tissue. But the results of experiments on mice conducted by a research team led by the university and the Sheba Medical Center It was found that these dust cells affect the immune system. and can stimulate the growth of cancer cells throughout the body
The researchers say the findings could improve the treatment of heart disease in light of the increased risk of cancer.
