لاَ يُطْفِئُ.

قَصَبَةً مَرْضُوضَةً لاَ يَقْصِفُ، وَفَتِيلَةً مُدَخِّنَةً لاَ يُطْفِئُ.

Droop...

 

A U.S. Food and Drug Administration staff recommends monitoring people who get Pfizer or Moderna's Covid-19 vaccine shots for possible cases of Bell's palsy. 

It's not necessarily a side effect but worth watching out for after a handful of trial participants got the condition, which causes half of your face to droop.

A 54-page staff report released said there were four reported cases of Bell's palsy among Moderna's more than 30,000 clinical trial participants. Three of the participants who got Bell's palsy also received the vaccine instead of a placebo shot.            

Pfizer's trial similarly had four reported cases of Bell's palsy out of some 43,000 participants. All four Bell's palsy cases in Pfizer's trial got the vaccine and not the placebo.

Wine...

 

For this study, published in Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, food science and human nutrition assistant professor, Brandon Klinedinst, analyzed data from 1,787 adults through the UK Biobank focused on adults aged 46 to 77.

The team found that diet earlier in life affects your risk of cognitive decline later on. While added salt might put you at greater risk for diseases of dementia.

"Observations further suggest in risk status-dependent manners that adding cheese and red wine to the diet daily, and lamb on a weekly basis, may also improve long-term cognitive outcomes."

Between 2006-10, participants in the research filled out a Fluid Intelligence Test and also filled out information regarding food and alcohol consumption.

They found that cheese was particularly helpful in protecting against age-related cognitive problems; daily consumption of alcohol, especially red wine, improves cognitive function; eating lamb (but not other red meat) on a weekly basis appears to be helpful; excess salt promotes cognitive decline over time.

While they were unable to pinpoint exact reasons for this protective effect, they cite calcium, vitamin B12, gut-friendly bacteria, and lactopeptides in cheese as potential candidates. 

A moderate serving of red wine has long been touted as healthy; interestingly, volunteers with a genetic predisposition to Alzheimer's appear to benefit most. They also note other research finding that regular beer intake increases the risk of dementia. Not all alcohol is created equally.

Mach...

 

High tech and sex appeal are not things most Fords are known for, but that's something the 117-year-old automaker hopes to change with the all-electric Mustang Mach-E crossover. 

It's the company's first EV under an $11 billion investment plan in electric vehicles through 2022, and it's Ford's first shot at Tesla.

"This is Ford's statement on EVs on where they are today and sets the tone of where they can go tomorrow," said Stephanie Brinley, principal automotive analyst at IHS Markit.

 "This isn't their ultimate EV development because there's more coming, but where they put their foot down to begin with is important in setting them up for the future."

Change...

 

Not this time. There are not enough Covid vaccines to go around for the first 9 months. We can change our mind. Then will see the results, the good, the bad and the ugly if there is any.

The Man...

 

Very sad indeed. He served his God, his church, his family, and that's all of us, all his life.

A great example, hard to follow but a guide and a reference to all.

To his immediate family Samuel and Iman, their families, the church at large, and to my home town, may God give you His peace. 

I have been blessed to have known the man .. for that long.

Curious...

 

Melatonin, a hormone available in supplement form and often sold as a sleep aid, may boost long-term memory and help protect from cognitive decline over time, according to a new study out of Japan. 

The potential benefits were linked to melatonin and two metabolites that result from the item.

The new study comes from the Tokyo Medical and Dental University; it involved lab mice, not humans, but the researchers say the findings may also apply to people. 

The research involved mice faced with novel object recognition, which refers to presenting mice with new and familiar items and observing how they interact with them.

Mice are naturally curious and will spend more time exploring new objects than the ones they’ve seen before.
