Love how the officer comes up and calmly raps on the fuselage... "Hey, anybody home?"

Sir, do you know how fast you were going?

Hell, no! You was flyin' too low!

No, seriously, look again. There's a robot behind the guy with the mic - kid you not!

Researchers have used brain cancer patients' own cells in a form of 3D printing material to make a model of their tumor to test the efficacy of potential treatments before using them for real inside the body. The scientists extract "a chunk" of the tumor from the brain of a patient with glioblastoma – an aggressive cancer with a very poor prognosis – and use it to print a model matching their MRI scans, said Professor Ronit Satchi-Fainaro, who led the research at Tel Aviv University. The patient's blood is then pumped through the printed tumor, made with a compound that mimics the brain,

Stable memory test scores for Alzheimer's patients with omega-3 intake

A unique study on Alzheimer's disease examines the effect of omega-3 fatty acids with memory tests and testing of spinal fluid.

medicalxpress.com

" She does point out that it is a small study—it includes 33 patients, 18 of whom were given omega-3 supplements morning and evening, and 15 who made up the control group. Spinal fluid samples were collected, and patients performed a memory test, both at the start of the study and after six months.

"We can see that the memory function of the patients in the group that had taken omega-3 is stable, whereas the patients in the control group have deteriorated. That's what the memory tests show," says Yvonne Freund-Levi.




18 is a small study, but Omega-3 is well regarded, might want to include in your diet.
