Nitisinone Could Make Human Blood Deadly to Mosquitos, Combatting Malaria
“Mosquitoes are more than pests. They’re also a mortal threat, contributing to millions of cases of malaria a year. Fortunately for humans, however, a team of researchers has recently identified a medication that could curb mosquito populations, controlling their spread of malaria. Revealing their results in a paper published in Science Translational Medicine, the researchers report that the medication nitisinone makes human blood deadly to mosquitoes.”
This is quite interesting in that it has no effect on the environment at all. Malaria affects 100’s of millions of people worldwide, so this could help a lot of people.
Scientists still have to determine what dosages will work, and I suppose how long it will last in the blood.
I wonder if this also why mosquitos like some people’s blood, but not others. The difference with nitisinone though is that it is deadly to them.

Mini rolling robot takes virtual biopsies — And it’s all in the shape
“The team, led by engineers from the University of Leeds, say this is the first time it has been possible to generate high-resolution three-dimensional ultrasound images taken from a probe deep inside the gastrointestinal tract, or gut. It paves the way to a transformation of the diagnosis and treatment of several forms of cancer by enabling ‘virtual biopsies’ — non-invasive scans that provide immediate diagnostic data, allowing doctors to detect, stage, and potentially treat lesions in a single procedure: eliminating the need for physical biopsies.”
Very interestingly, the big innovation seems to be around changing the shape (the oloid shape) so that the device can manoeuvre far better.
The important outcomes of all of this is that immediate results can be obtained for determining colorectal cancer, and the process may be more comfortable for patients.

5 years of the COVID-19 pandemic: The origins of a social catastrophe
The COVID-19 pandemic has laid bare the incapacity of capitalism to deal with the problems of mass society, and that this social system is in an advanced state of regression.World Socialist Web Site
The widely accepted theory is that Covid-19 emerged in bats and then jumped to humans, most likely through another animal, or "intermediary host."
As time worn on, scientists have not found a virus in either bats or another animal that matches the genetic make-up of Covid-19, leading some to doubt the theory.
