  3. UC Riverside: A gel for wounds that won’t heal. “As aging populations and rising diabetes rates drive an increase in chronic wounds, more patients face the risk of amputations. UC Riverside researchers have developed an oxygen-delivering gel capable of healing injuries that might otherwise progress to limb loss.”

  4. According to a World Health Organization (WHO) report last month, nearly 42,000 Palestinians – or 1.9 percent of Gaza’s population – face life-changing injuries. And of those, as many as a quarter are children.

    Children under age five were also more likely to sustain major injuries than older children.

    The WHO said on October 25 that about 3,800 Palestinian children are waiting for urgent specialised medical treatment outside of Gaza.

  5. “Weapons of Health Destruction...” How Colonialism Created the Modern Native American Diet

    The Impact of Systematic Oppression on Indigenous Cuisine in the United States

    #Frybread, sometimes called “#DieBread” or a “weapon of health destruction,” has multiple origin stories, and they all involve oppression and perseverance.

    Excerpt: "On the hit television show #ReservationDogs, the only series ever to feature all #Indigenous writers, directors, and main cast members, the Indian Health Center invites rapper Punkin’ Lusty, played by real-life #Mvskoke rapper #StenJoddi, to perform his hit song '#GreasyFrybread.' [A song Dr. Lowry played during today's broadcast.] The occasion is #Diabetes Awareness Month. Lusty raps,

    Baby girl looking deadly (Yeah!)
    Why she acting all Rezzy (Yeah!)
    Hotter than a pan of frybread grease!
    Have a Native hittin’ Powwow Beats!
    Gotcha Auntie in the kitchen
    Like no he didn’t
    Got her Gramama’s skillet
    Like she ’bout to kill it!

    The song solidly locates frybread within Indigenous culture.

    Sofkee [a corn drink or soup] on the burner
    Hokte Hokte [woman] head turner
    Water baking powder
    Choppin’ up that white stuff
    All purpose flour
    Gotta mix it right up
    Hit the Rez with the Shits
    They eats it right up! Watch the grease pop
    Watch her waist drop
    She got that blue bird bag [Blue Bird flour comes in a twenty-pound cloth bag and claims to be “The Native American Frybread Secret”]
    In her tank top
    he got that white powder
    All over everything
    She gettin’ to bussin’ man
    But we ain’t cousins man!
    We from the same tribe
    But a different clan
    She my Rez Bunny
    And I’m her Red Man
    She love my Tattoos
    And my two braids
    Frybread money at the Creek Fest get paid! On that!”

    Foregrounding this song in the Health Center’s battle against diabetes underscores the other side of frybread’s legacy, also emblazoned on a T-shirt that announces 'Frybread: Creating #Obesity Since 1860.' #Cheyenne and #HudulgeeMuscogee #IndigenousRights activist #SuzanShownHarjo, who vowed to give up frybread as a New Year’s resolution, explains, 'Frybread is emblematic of the #LongTrails from home and freedom to confinement and #rations. It’s the connecting dot between healthy children and obesity, #hypertension, diabetes, #dialysis, #blindness, #amputations and #SlowDeath.' Reflecting on stereotypes that dehumanized Indigenous people to justify #colonization, such as the worn-out trope of Indians drinking 'firewater,' Harjo asserts that frybread love is another way to portray them as 'simple-minded people who salute the little grease bread and get misty-eyed about it.'

    "In The #HeartbeatOfWoundedKnee, scholar #DavidTreuer introduces health educator #ChelseyLuger, who is #Ojibwe and #Lakota. Chelsey talks to Indigenous communities about the perils of frybread as part of her efforts to steer their diets in new directions, even in the face of limited food options. 'Sometimes people get defensive, but we are able to make the conversation positive. We say we grew up with it and like it and we say frybread is not power. We say frybread kills our people. It’s that serious. It causes diabetes and heart disease. We have to look at those colonial foods as a kind of enemy.' "

  10. Good morning to readers; #Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands.

    The war has reshaped every aspect of life in #Ukraine, including #dating.

    #Amputations are now seen by many as a sign of bravery, while patriotism and the language somebody speaks now play a decisive role in compatibility.

  11. Help Malak and thousands of children walk again.

    The Artificial Limbs and Polio Center, operated by Gaza City Municipality, is the only facility providing free artificial limbs in the Gaza Strip right now. Your support can give a child the chance to walk again.

    This campaign is administered directly by municipal officials in Gaza City.

  15. The Guardian spoke to six foreign #doctors who have worked at two hospitals in #Gaza, the European and al-Aqsa, in the last three months:

    »The doctors say many of the #deaths, #amputations and life changing wounds to #children they have treated came from the firing of missiles and shells – in areas crowded with civilians – packed with additional metal designed to fragment into tiny pieces of #shrapnel.

    Volunteer doctors at two Gaza #hospitals said that a majority of their operations were on children hit by small pieces of shrapnel that leave barely discernible entry wounds but create extensive destruction inside the body.«

  24. #Children in #Palestine are suffering so much, just trying to get essential #MedicalHelp & much needed #surgeries & #amputations - all while being displaced, homeless, starving & being bombed while trying to find safe refuge. These are brave kids - forced to be brave to survive.

    I don't care what your political beliefs are at this point. This is all so wrong & evil, on multiple levels. If you're not speaking up against these kind of evil horrors, you simply lack humanity & you lack courage too.

  25. "I saw my severed hand lying next to me."

    More than ten children per day, on average, have lost one or both of their legs in Gaza since Israel launched its genocidal bombing campaign on the Strip three months ago, said Save the Children.

    Since 7 October, more than 1,000 children have had one or both legs amputated, according to UNICEF. Many of these operations on children were done without anaesthetic.

  28. Health conditions in Gaza are so dire that one doctor has resorted to amputating his injured daughter’s leg at home without anaesthesia.

    The doctor, Hany al-Faisal, said he had no option but to take the drastic measure because continuing strikes have made it too unsafe for the family to leave home to seek treatment in a hospital.
