…inhaling the gas can cause coughing, dizziness, fatigue & nausea. Long-term exposure can damage the #brain & central nervous system & can increase the risk of breast #cancer, #leukemia, #lymphoma & other #cancers of the white blood cells.

The #EPA first classified #EthyleneOxide as a human #carcinogen in 2016. The agency based the determination on studies showing that the gas was 60 times more toxic to children & 30 times more toxic to adults than previously thought.

Lawmakers and family of
a woman being held at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center in Eloy
are demanding she receive medical attention,
claiming she’s lost 70 pounds and has been mistreated. 

#Arbella #Rodriguez #Marquez,
who is called #Yari by her friends and family,
was arrested by U.S. Customs and Border Protection earlier this year
👉and has been at the Eloy Detention Facility for the past 10 months. 

Yari’s family says that she has #lymphocytic #leukemia
💥and has been denied medical care while inside,
💥losing 70 pounds during her detention.
Her partner Sonia Almaraz, a U.S. citizen,
said they were traveling back from a trip to Mexico
when they were detained and Yari was taken into custody. 

“I don’t think it is fair that ICE is taking advantage of her health.
To me the way I see it,
ICE is killing her.
ICE is killing Yari,”
Almaraz told the Mirror.

‘It’s Just Us’: The Firefighter, His Son and a Treacherous Choice

Researchers at the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive #Cancer Center have identified a small #molecule that can inhibit a cancer-driving protein long considered impossible to target with drugs — a discovery that could open the door to a new class of treatments for #leukemia and other hard-to-treat cancers.

Acute #leukemia is an aggressive blood #cancer that requires accurate diagnosis to guide treatment. Current diagnostic methods, which rely on a combination of molecular and cytogenetic tests, often take days or even weeks to complete. #MARLIN, however, can provide results in as little as two hours.

#Carbon14: Another underestimated danger from #nuclear reactors

"There are a number of radionuclides released from nuclear energy facilities. This paper highlights carbon-14 for a number of reasons:

- Carbon-14 is radioactive and is released into air as #methane and #CO2

- Before 2010, carbon-14 releases from nuclear reactors were virtually ignored in the United States. Today only estimates are required and only under certain restrictive circumstances.

- There is no good accounting of releases to date, so its impact on our health, our children’s health, and that of our
#environment remains unknown, yet environmental measurement is possible, but can be challenging under certain
conditions.

- Carbon-14 has a half-life of over 5700 years and the element carbon is a basic building block for life on earth. Therefore, “it constitutes a potential health hazard, whose additional production by #anthropogenic sources of today will result in an increased #radiation exposure to many future generations.”

- Like #tritium, it can collect in the tissues of the fetus at twice the concentration of the tissues in the mother, pointing to its
disproportionate impact on the most vulnerable human lifecycle: the developing child.

The element carbon is found in all organic substances. Carbon is also a primary constituent of #GreenhouseGases that are responsible for #ClimateChange, such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (#CH4). Carbon-14 (c-14) is a radioactive form of
carbon that occurs in nature and is also newly formed in nuclear power processes.

"Carbon-14 is a health concern because it is released from #NuclearPower facilities as radioactive carbon dioxide and methane, traveling readily in the local and global environment.

"Over time, carbon-14 becomes part of organic material including food, and has a half-life of approximately 5,730 years, decaying by a type of radioactive particle called a beta. Its hazardous life is 10-20 times its half-life, meaning that harmful exposure to man-made carbon-14 can last for hundreds of generations. The radioactive carbon forms as a byproduct of fissioning of uranium fuel, through a process called activation. The final step is a chemical reaction between carbon-14 and oxygen or hydrogen, which forms methane or carbon dioxide. The radioactive carbon-14 formed by this process is brand new and would not exist without nuclear fission.

"During its long hazardous life, carbon-14 could be responsible for gross physical or
mental defects, stillbirths and childhood deaths, embryonic and neonatal deaths into the many millions over the life of the isotope.

"These millions could be underestimated five times or more. Carbon-14 could also be responsible for #leukemia, bone and other #cancers."

EPA curbs cancer-causing chemical used to sterilize medical devices

The Environmental Protection Agency on Thursday announced tougher #limits on a #cancer-#causing #gas used to #sterilize #medical #equipment, a move aimed at helping disadvantaged communities across the country reduce their exposure to a toxic pollutant.

Some environmental and public health advocates criticized the final rule as too weak, saying it would not adequately protect low-income and minority communities that are disproportionately affected.

At the same time, the #medical #device #industry warned that the rule could disrupt the supply of safe medical equipment at hospitals and clinics nationwide.

The rule targets emissions of #ethylene #oxide, an odorless, colorless gas that has been linked to several types of cancer, particularly #lymphoma and #leukemia.

It illustrates the tensions between two of the Biden administration’s signature priorities:
promoting environmental justice and bolstering domestic supply chains.

Michael Regan, the first Black man to serve as EPA administrator, has put an emphasis on curbing deadly pollution in communities of color and low-income neighborhoods.

He announced the proposed rule last year in Louisiana, where an 85-mile-long area between New Orleans and Baton Rouge is known as “#Cancer #Alley” because of numerous polluting facilities, including those that produce ethylene oxide.

Suuuper late on this announcement. However, let me begin with a short story.

A little over a month ago, my Uncle was Diagnosed with Leukemia for the 4th time. The cancer has made it’s way to his brain and liver. The doctors sent him home and gave him 1-2 weeks to live. He’s still alive to this day, but the writing is on the wall.

In his honor, I have decided to run a charity stream to help find a cure for blood-based cancers like Leukemia through the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. The money that they receive helps to find a cure on a world-wide scale. Let’s do our best to fight this hidden enemy.

For the content creators out there, I have created a team on Tiltify that you are more than welcome to join to help raise money for the fight. The Arctic Warriors welcome any and all with open arms in this fight. We can do it, let’s #TiltCancer together!

Chronic myeloid #leukemia (#CML ) is a type of #blood #cancer that arises from #malignant changes in blood-forming cells of the #bone #marrow. It mainly occurs in older individuals and represents about 20 percent of all adult leukemia cases.

During the #fetal stage, a number of so-called #cell programs run that are vital to the development of the #fetus. Researchers from #Lund University demonstrate that one of these fetal programs appears to protect against acute myeloid #leukemia (#AML).

One of my lab colleagues will present a #metabolism-heavy study at the upcoming #ASH22 conference: we found that #leukemia can become resistant to BET-inhibition by using #lactate, often thought of as a metabolic byproduct, to keep their metabolism going. We also show that simultaneous BETi and inhibition of lactate-driven metabolism can reduce leukemic engraftment in animal models with both cell lines and primary samples: https://ash.confex.com/ash/2022/webprogram/Paper164701.html #science #medicine #hematology #oncology
