Beyond Impossible — The Truth Behind the Fake Meat Industry
A 2024 systematic review of the literature confirmed what multiple studies have shown — the higher your intake of ultraprocessed food, the higher your risk of adverse health outcomes.
Changes in Soil Organic Carbon Components and Microbial Community Following Spent Mushroom Substrate Application
While spent mushroom substrate (SMS) has shown promise in increasing soil organic carbon (SOC) and improving soil quality, research on the interplay between SOC components and microbial community following the application of diverse SMS types remains scant. A laboratory soil incubation experiment was conducted with application of two types of
Noninvasive Assessment of Ki-67 Labeling Index in Glioma Patients based on Multi-parameters derived from Advanced MR Imaging
Purpose: To investigate the predictive value of multi-parameters derived from advanced MR imaging for Ki-67 labeling index (LI) in glioma patients.Materials and Methods: One hundred and nine patients with histologically confirmed gliomas were evaluated retrospectively.
These patients underwent advanced MR imaging, including dynamic susceptibility-weighted contrast enhanced MR imaging (DSC)
Natural Therapies for Cystic Fibrosis
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a progressive and terminal genetic disease that causes an overproduction and buildup of thick, sticky mucus in the lungs and other organs that lead to chronic inflammation and, eventually, a deterioration of lung function. The disease requires daily breathing treatment for up to five hours a

Background: Accurate preoperative prediction of glioma is crucial for developing individualized treatment decisions and assessing prognosis.
CBDCs: “Financial inclusion” means the inclusion of all transactions not people
To try to make central bank digital currencies sound benign, proponents repeatedly use the word “financial inclusion.” They are trying to convince us that the world needs CBDCs so that those who are “unbanked” can participate in the digital economy without requiring a bank account.
This is, of course, absurd,
