McCain and Montenegro: The Anatomy of a Conspiracy Theory by … – Antiwar.com

Posted: Published on March 20th, 2017

Just in case you thought the conspiracy theory that Russia secretly controls the US government is exclusively an affliction affecting the Democratic party, Sen. John McCains recent performance on the floor of the US Senate should disabuse you of this optimistic notion. Responding to Sen. Rand Pauls blocking of a vote in favor of the accession of Montenegro to NATO, the failed former GOP presidential candidate let it all hang out: I note the senator from Kentucky leaving the floor without justification or any rationale for the action he has just taken. That is really remarkable, that a senator blocking a treaty that is supported by the overwhelming number, perhaps 98 at least of his colleagues would come to the floor and object and walk away. The only conclusion you can draw when he walks away is he has no justification for his objection to having a small nation be part of NATO that is under assault from the Russians. So I repeat again, the senator from Kentucky is now working for Vladimir Putin. Whats remarkable is that this kind of lunacy is tolerated in the US Senate: I recall that Sen. Elizabeth Warren was rebuked and silenced by Senate … Continue reading →

'Grey's Anatomy's Jesse Williams & Sarah Drew on That Japril … – Entertainment Tonight

Posted: Published on March 20th, 2017

There might be hope for Jackson Avery (Jesse Williams) and April Kepner (Sarah Drew) after all! Last week's episode of Grey's Anatomy saw the divorced pair open the door for a rekindled romance with a sexy hookup while in Montana on a case -- where they also met Jackson's estranged father (Eric Roberts). While the couple's future is still uncertain, Drew assured fans at PaleyFest on Sunday that Japril will always be together -- whether romantically or otherwise. RELATED: 'Grey's Anatomy': Jackson Meets His Father and Reunites With April -- Are They Back Together? "I think the main takeaway from that experience in Montana is that these two people... there's so much love there, there's so much respect there. They know each other so well," Drew said during the Grey's Anatomy panel. "Whether it continues and moves towards romance or stays platonic, we know for sure that these two are going to be okay, and that they're always going to depend on one another, and they will always be one another's person." "At the end of the day, who knows [what will happen]?" she added. Williams also commented on the pair's connection, calling April Jackson's "best friend." "He has a … Continue reading →

A Drug That Could Slow Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s Is Heading to Major Testing – Futurism

Posted: Published on March 20th, 2017

On to the Next Level A drug that has already been approved to treat leukemia is now closer to being approved for use against the debilitating brain diseases, parkinsons and alzheimers. There are more than 5 million people currently living with Alzheimers disease in the US and another million living with parkinsons. This drug has the potential to change the lives of not just these millions of sufferers, but also their countless friends and family who suffer along with them. Currently, there are no approved drugs to slow or halt the progression of the diseases. These patients typically take medications and treatments to address the specific symptoms of their disease, which have their own deleterious side-effects. However, in a previous study, the drug known as nilotinib, significantly increased brain dopamine (the chemical lost as a result of neuronal destruction) and reduced toxic proteins linked to disease progression. It was such a small trial, there was no placebo control and it really wasnt designed to assess efficacy, says J. Paul Taylor, chair of the cell and molecular biology department at St. Jude Childrens Research Hospital. But, researchers are remaining prudent. To further test and prove the efficacy of this drug, twin … Continue reading →

Court of Appeal issues new judgment on patient consent to treatment – Lexology (registration)

Posted: Published on March 20th, 2017

The Court of Appeal has widened the application of the test for informed consent, ruling that in all cases patients must be consulted and advised about their proposed treatment, options, risks and benefits even if the care is a do nothing approach. In W (a child and protected party, by his mother and Litigation Friend, Butler) v Burton Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, the Court of Appeal allowed an appeal of the claimant against the previous finding in favour of the defendant hospital on causation of the claimant's birth injuries. The court found that the judge had based his judgment as to whether there had been negligence on the approach set out in Bolam v Frien Hospital, by looking at whether the consultant had acted in accordance with a responsible body of expert medical opinion. However, this was no longer the correct approach and the decision in Montgomery v Lanarkshire Health Board was the correct approach to use. The claimant, W, was born with cerebral palsy. It was agreed between the parties that his disability had been caused by a brain injury which had occurred 48 to 72 hours prior to his birth and that had he been delivered at least … Continue reading →

Multiple sclerosis: Doctors back unconventional treatment – ABC Online

Posted: Published on March 20th, 2017

Updated March 15, 2017 20:23:11 Two doctors who were previously diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) claim an unconventional treatment cleared them of the symptoms of the disease. They are among a growing number of MS patients who have made big lifestyle changes as part of a program, devised by Melbourne professor George Jelinek, which they say eliminated the symptoms of the disease that threatened to end their careers. Sam Gartland's future looked bleak when he was diagnosed with a relapsing remitting form of MS. His symptoms were so severe he had to quit his job as an intensive care doctor. "I couldn't actually walk from the car park to the intensive care unit," he said. A decade later, Dr Gartland spends his mornings either kickboxing or surfing on the New South Wales central coast. "I try and exercise every day," he said. "To the point where I'm sweating and my heart rate's up." MS remains the most common disabling disease among young adults. Eighty per cent of those diagnosed will be forced out of full-time work within 10 years. The Jelinek program consists of a strict regimen of exercise, meditation, low-fat diet and sun exposure to combat the condition. "If … Continue reading →

Warnings after skin creams used to treat eczema linked to dozens of fire deaths – Mirror.co.uk

Posted: Published on March 19th, 2017

Skin creams have been linked to dozens of deaths in fires, leading to new warnings by manufacturers. Products used to treat conditions like eczema and psoriasis put users at risk because the paraffin in them can soak into their bedding or clothes, making them flammable. The medicines regulator has updated its guidance and it says all creams containing paraffin should carry a warning. There have been 37 deaths in England since 2010 linked to the creams, despite warnings going back more than ten years. Carol Hoes husband Philip died at Doncaster Royal Infirmary in 2006 when sparks from a cigarette ignited his moiturising cream. She told Radio 5 Live : Philip sneaked off on to a landing for a sneaky cigarette, a gust of wind must have caught the lighter, and it set fire to him. Within seconds Mr Hoe, who was having treatment for psoriasis, was engulfed in flames and he died shortly after. He was covered with 90% burns, said Mrs Hoe.There was nothing they could do. Christopher Holyoake died in a house fire in September 2015, after his skin cream, now known to be flammable, caught fire. The coroner at the inquest into the death of 63-year-old … Continue reading →
