"This is a poor boy who has lost his way--and lost his memory. He doesn't know who he is or where he comes from," explained Van Cheele desperately, glancing apprehensively at the waif's face to see whether he was going to add inconvenient candour to his other savage propensities.

Seems like high DHA might be the issue with Afib. I'll do some searching on LCpharmD's posts - hope she moves to mastodon.
" The time course of PIEZO1 inactivation is prolonged by docosahexaenoic acid but reduced by eicosapentaenoic acid. Thus, the net effect will be determined in part by the docosahexaenoic acid:eicosapentaenoic acid ratio. A docosahexaenoic acid–predominant effect would result in PIEZO1 gain-of-function and increased influx of calcium and other cations (Figure [B]). Collectively, these changes would (1) prolong the action potential duration and increase the propensity for delayed after-depolarizations to trigger AF and (2) promote calcium-dependent signaling."

CW: Falwell not being very christian
Falwell’s Downfall: The Pool Boy’s Story - The Bulwark https://www.thebulwark.com/the-pool-attendants-version/
#ChristianHypocrisy
#ChristianGOP"In 2018, a real estate–related lawsuit in Miami attracted the attention of a Buzzfeed News reporter, who was intrigued to find then–Liberty University president Jerry Falwell Jr. sharing his previously-reported ownership of a local hostel with a pool attendant named Giancarlo Granda. That story marked the beginning of a yearslong scandal that culminated in Falwell—a major Donald Trump ally whose endorsement helped move the needle among evangelicals for the former president’s 2016 campaign—outed as a cuckold, a secret alcoholic, and a cynic about his professed Christian faith. Falwell resigned from Liberty University under pressure in August 2020, embarrassing the school’s board, who had offered Falwell a free reign and their unqualified support for more than a decade.
...making the Falwells’ denials even harder to believe. Granda himself is a likable and winning narrator of the scandal, frank and unforced in his interviews. Having been a supporting player in earlier versions of the story that centered on the prominent evangelical couple, Granda’s comments add nuance to the story and emphasize the significant power differential between himself and the Falwells. It is impossible, for example, to forget his youth: Granda was only 20 years old when he met them. What 20-year-old in Granda’s situation would have known what they were getting themselves into? It is hard to avoid the conclusion that the couple knew just what they were doing when they invited him into their complicated lives.
In March 2012, Granda was working poolside at the Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami when, as he tells it, Becki Falwell, a guest who had been ogling him, asked him to come by her room later—and in case the purpose wasn’t clear enough, she mentioned that her husband would want to watch. Making arrangements from a blocked number later that day, Becki invited Granda to meet at a nearby Days Inn to make sure their liaison wouldn’t happen at the same hotel where their kids were staying. Granda alleges that Jerry was waiting with pants unzipped when Becki welcomed him into the room. The encounter would mark the beginning of an alleged six-year-long affair that saw Granda joining the family on vacations and becoming well known to the Falwells’ children, who unassumingly joked about Becki’s propensity for disappearing during their trips.
The relationship was a personal boon for Granda, who benefitted materially and socially from his connection to the Falwell family. He stayed at their Lynchburg farm, traveled frequently with them, and met numerous members of their larger circle. In September 2012, only six months after he first met Becki, Granda was on campus at Liberty when he met Donald Trump.
The aforementioned business deal, which gave Granda a 25 percent equity stake in the Miami hostel, would come about in 2013, the result of Falwell’s offers to help Granda financially and jumpstart his career. Details of Granda’s affair with Falwells were first hinted at when a local real estate broker refiled a previously dismissed claim in August 2017 against Granda’s stake in the hostel that named both Granda and Falwell.
At the time of the original filing two years earlier, the broker’s lawyer privately alleged to Granda that he had compromising photos of Granda and Becki, which led to Granda asking for help from Jerry, who reached out to Michael Cohen, then Donald Trump’s lawyer/“fixer.” Cohen intervened and took possession of the photos as a favor—he had known the Falwells since 2011—then called in the favor by pushing Falwell to endorse Trump in the 2016 election. Falwell would then become a staunch Trump ally and defender amid the latter’s moral crises, including the publication of the Access Hollywood tape, and he helped consolidate evangelical support for Trump’s campaign. Corben makes sure the viewer understands the import of this by heavy-handedly interspersing Falwell’s increasingly volatile remarks with footage of Trump’s scandalous actions and behaviors while in office, as though to say: See, evangelical hypocrisy is why we are at risk of losing our democracy!
While Falwell’s wholehearted embrace, under threat of scandal, of Donald Trump may have influenced the 2016 election, this focus on grand, simple narratives prevents Corben from entering more deeply into the strange and fraught realities of the Falwell story. These were especially apparent to those of us who were on campus to see how that story played out in real time."

Discrimination against #trans #Olympians has roots in #NaziGermany
The forgotten #Olympic history of trans athletes.
by Alex Abad-Santos
Aug 1, 2024"[In Michael Waters’s book, "The Other Olympians: Fascism, Queerness, and the Making of Modern Sports"] Waters’s traces the emergence of #ZdeněkKoubek, a track and field star representing the country formerly known as Czechoslovakia who, at 21, won two medals — a gold in the 800m and a bronze in the long jump — at the 1934 Women’s World Games. (The Women’s World Games was the precursor to women competing at the Olympics). In 1935, Koubek announced that he would be living life as a man and swiftly became an international celebrity.
"Waters also pinpoints where and when that changed, specifically at the 1936 Olympics in #NaziGermany. Armed with a propensity for #eugenics, #GenderAnxiety, and a startling lack of scientific evidence, a small set of Nazi officials influenced the International Olympic Committee into #GenderSurveillance and #TransPanic — stuff that eerily mirrors the #transphobic attacks that athletes, cis and trans alike, face today."

La variole a été éradiquée dans les années septante. Les campagnes de vaccination ont alors cessé. Donc, les moins de cinquante ans ne sont pas immunisé·es contre le #mpox.
Des moyens rapides de traitement permettent de passer de 10% à 1% de létalité (propension à faire mourir, probabilité de mourir à l'échelle de la population).L'extraction minière pour la transition électrique est particulièrement propice à la création et à l'exportation de nouvelles maladies. Une #syndémie peut être définie comme un environnement social et écologique optimal pour générer et propulser des épidémies.
Dr Camille Besombes : "Il y a une épidémie d'épidémies. On est rentré dans une nouvelle ère : il y a une multiplication des émergences infectieuses. […] Il y a eu une émergence d'Ebola dans ce même contexte économique et social, qu'est le Kivu."

Do near death experiences have a scientific explanation?
There are many smart people in the scientific community who consider near death experiences (or recalled experiences of death RED), to be caused by purely physiological reactions.
A recent, much shared, paper1 hypothesised exactly this, proposing that NDE’s result from a combination of physiological and psychological threat responses:
NDEs can result from impaired cerebral blood flow causing systemic hypotension, hypoxia and hypercapnia resulting in acidosis, and from increased neuronal excitability causing dysregulation of key neurotransmitter systems.
[…]
NDEs might be partially shaped by top–down processes and facilitated by non-pathological cognitive traits such as dissociation propensity.The evolutionary roots of NDEs are thought to be linked to survival and coping mechanisms, with serotonin probably mediating calming effects through 5-HT1A receptors and contributing to hallucinogenic aspects through 5-HT2A receptor hyperactivation.
—Martial, C et al (2025).
Now, a new paper just published, aims to provide an antithesis to these arguments.
A Neuroscientific Model of Near-Death Experiences Reconsidered (pdf).
We cite important NDE elements that remain unexplained
by that model, as well as empirical data that are incompatible with it. We respectfully
suggest that, taken together, these points generate sufficient doubts to merit reconsideration of the completeness of that overarching model and suggest that a more comprehensive treatment of the literature would strengthen our understanding of NDEs and
their etiology.–Bruce Greyson and Marieta Pehlivanova
Warning… this is an academic, scientific paper with much medical terminology. Nevertheless, it makes very interesting reading even for a layperson.
As the authors of this paper conclude; it is important to remain open to other than materialist/physiological explanations for NDE’s.
