I love seeing Vertigo contrast Lawton's despair and suicidal ideations following the loss of his son, and how Vertigo chooses to live, taking in how despite Ivy's vile treatment of him, he was free from his chemically induced episodes. Shame knowing Jim Corrigan blew up his country after this

PCCT led to lower radiation exposure, fewer adverse reactions, and lower rates of contrast-induced acute kidney injury compared with EID-CT #radiology #CT #PCCT #lungcancer buff.ly/Ppv6alt
PCCT has higher safety profile that EID-CT for lung imaging
Photon-counting CT (PCCT) leads to fewer adverse outcomes than energy-integrating detector CT (EID-CT), researchers say.

A fascinating review on the role of Activin in organ induction. Isn't it wild that in Xenopus embryos, a piece of the animal cap can be induced with Activin at different concentrations and buffers to form the ❤️, kidney, the pancreas, head, tail, and even a whole embryoid 🤯:

the contrast btwn our resistance and the govt, and the experience of living with and moving through the beauty and the terror makes it almost spiritual. i am also having a trauma induced manic episode.

but the love here is real.

and there is nowhere else quite like here, i will die on that hill.

To account for the contrast between “system-induced” environmental destruction under capitalism and its merely “time-induced” character under socialism, GDR thinkers invoked the need to “gain time in the economic competition with the capitalist system”

Dreaming …

may act as a nonlinear regulator that maintains cognitive coherence under social and environmental stress.

It may prevent representational overfitting rather than merely consolidating memory.🖖

🔬 In this new paper, the authors state that single-mask edge illumination x-ray phase contrast micro-CT improves 3D imaging of weakly attenuating samples. The beam is modulated into 'beamlets' aligned to pixel boundaries by the mask, so their refraction-induced deviations can be used to form images.

"Thus, the robust efficacy of IV-BCG in SIV+ MCM is retained regardless of anti-BCG drug treatment, indicating that BCG does not need to survive long to provide protection."

"In contrast, SIV control was necessary for full protection induced by IV-BCG."

Viral control is required for intravenous BCG-mediated protection against tuberculosis in simian immunodeficiency virus-infected macaques - PubMed
Tuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), is a major global health challenge, especially for people living with HIV (PLWH) not on antiretroviral therapy. We previously showed that intravenous Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (IV-BCG) provides robust protection in SIV+ Mauritian cynomolg …

Yet, in the same year (while still at Yale) she did publish an abstract in Proc. Soc. Exp. Biol. Med. about a transplantation experiment about which I was always dreaming as a PhD student (not knowing that it was done 70 years prior): putting a fish organizer into a newt embryo. (3/4)

I wasn’t told beforehand but I know now. And a lot of people I talk to now who have contrast-induced insomnia had CTAs, so I think it could be a risk factor.

It is probably heating induced by the magnets - I was in an MRI playing "Has this dude any gallstones"? and no contrast or anything. Felt I was being cooked.

That Trump doesn't know what was being scanned is just not plausible as well.

And: hope you are well now!

Yet another study finding that building more housing, even “luxury” condos, makes housing more affordable overall. Left-NIMBYs are so frustrating because we share the same goal of more affordable housing, but their policies make housing less affordable.
