Minorities With CF Have Worse Lung Function, Study Says – Cystic Fibrosis News Today

Posted: September 12, 2021 at 10:02 am

Blacks and Hispanics with cystic fibrosis (CF) have worse lung function than white patients, according to a study from New York City.

However, no differences were found amongthese groups of patients in several other parameters, including the number of visits to the doctor, treatments with antibiotics, and hospitalizations.

The findings highlight the need to develop culturally appropriate ways of helping CF patients in minority communities, the scientists said.

The study, Health Disparities among adults cared for at an urban cystic fibrosis program, was published in the Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases.

Although most CF patients are Caucasian, the number of affected patients with other racial and ethnic backgrounds has been increasing over the years. For example, in 2004, 6.1% of people with CF were Hispanic, but by 2019 it increased to 9.4%. Likewise, the proportion of Black CF patients increased from 3.9% to 4.7% from 2004 to 2019.

Previous research has found that people with CF who have a lower socioeconomic status have worse health outcomes. However, the association between racial and ethnic minorities with CF and health status is still uncertain.

For example, the current study found that Hispanic CF patients in California were found to have a 2.8 higher mortality rate than non-Hispanics. However, similar mortality rates were reported in Texas when comparing Hispanics to non-Hispanics.

This data highlights the fact that there are regional differences in outcomes of minority patients with CF, the team wrote. As a CF center in New York City with a relatively large minority population, we sought to determine if racial and ethnic disparities in health outcomes exist and to further understand possible causes for any existing disparities.

Investigators from Columbia University Irving Medical Center analyzed data from people with CF enrolled in the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Patient Registry at the Universitys Adult CF Program. Patients were seen at least once during 2019. Two main groups were compared: Black/Latinx (BLx) and non-Hispanic Caucasians.

A total of 262 patients were included in the study. Thirty-nine patients (15%) identified as Black or Hispanic/Latinx (BLx). Mean age was 35.9 years for whites and 32.1 years for BLx patients, a difference deemed not statistically significant.

Among whites, 52% were diagnosed before age 2, compared to 46% of BLx patients. BLx participants had a significantly lower median household income based on ZIP code of residence in comparison to whites ($68,485 vs. $102,492).

FEV1, a measure of how much air a person can exhale in one second, was used to assess lung function. In BLx patients, lung function was lower, with a mean FEV1 percent predicted at 59.50, compared to 70.6 in whites.

Mean body mass index, an indicator of body fat, total number of outpatient visits, hospitalizations, and care episodes in which antibiotics were administered into a vein, did not differ between the two groups.

Results revealed an association between minority status and lower FEV1 that trended toward statistical significance.

The F508del mutation in the CFTR gene is the most common disease cause and is linked with worse outcomes. About the same percentage of patients are homozygous for the F508del mutation, meaning the mutation affects both copies of the CTFR gene, or heterozygous, which means it is present in only one copy.

After adjusting for factors such as sex, age, median household income and insurance type, statistical analysis showed that among F508del heterozygous patients, those in the BLx group trended toward lower FEV1 compared to white patients. No such difference was found in F508del homozygous patients or in those without F508 mutations.

Significant health disparities based on race and ethnicity exist at a single CF center in New York City, despite apparent similarities in access to guideline based care at an accredited CF Center, the researchers wrote.

This data confirms the importance of design of culturally appropriate preventative and management strategies to better understand how to direct interventions to this vulnerable population with a rare disease, they added.

The team noted a few limitations of the study. For example, Black and Hispanic patients were combined in the same category although these are distinct groups. Whether patients were following their treatments as prescribed also was not determined. Also, other factors that may affect health outcomes, including English proficiency and the ability to understand healthcare information, may affect outcomes.

Scorned wife raids ex-husbands cryogenics lab stealing frozen brains of people who hoped to be brought b… – The Sun

Posted: at 10:01 am

A SCORNED wife raided her ex-husband's cryogenics lab and stole the frozen brains of people who hoped to be brought back to life.

Valeria Udalova, 59, and staff from her company grabbed the remains of people who paid thousands of pounds hoping they could be resurrected.

Some of the corpses were from Britain and the US and were stored in Valeria's ex-husband Danila Medvedev, 41, lab in the Moscow region of Russia.

The lab is Russia's leading cryo-storage facility, say reports.

They drained liquid nitrogen from giant dewar flasks containing frozen bodies and grabbed these and some detached human brains, then loaded them on trucks.

Police were called and intercepted the macabre cargo of human remains preserved by Frankenstein technology offering humans the chance to "come back to life in future.

But Medvedev told RTVi:"The police did not catch Valeria.

She left, taking someone's brain from the cryo-storage.

The brains of our neuro-patients were kept separately, in special metal medical boxes."

Both Medvedev, who runs KrioRus, and its ex-boss Udalova, who started a new company called Open Cryonics in Tver region, claim to be the legitimate owners of the human remains.

Police are now examining the rival claims while demanding the feudingex-spouses guarantee the integrity of the frozen corpses and brains as well as the bodies of dozens of dogs and cats that owners wanted to bring back to life in the future.

There are fears the remains may have been damaged in the raid.

Valeria did not do it well, she just cheated, alleged Medvedev, who started a new family with another woman.

There was a risk of damage, it is impossible to transport dewars in a horizontal position.

While attempting to steal our dewars, this nitrogen was spilled, most of the nitrogen was poured onto the ground, added Aleksey Potapov, an expert with KrioRus.

Thehuman remains "began to heat up.

Udalovaclaims she was unfairly ousted from her old company and is the rightful owner of its assets.

"There are a lot of orders from different countries, especially from dog and cat owners, she said.

This is the reason why Medvedev wanted to take KrioRus for himself.

The cost of full body cryopreservation is around26,000, or to save only the brain, 11,000.

Some 82 patients were in the company's warehouse, including 25 foreigners.

Among the brains frozen in the Moscow store is Dr Yuri Pichugin, who died in 2018 after inventing the chemical cocktail which preserves people for posterity in a deep freeze at minus 196C.

A brain woken in the decades or centuries to come could be implanted in another human body, it is claimed.

Two cryopreservation companies, run by ex-spouses, fight over frozen corpses and one tries to remove the bo… – Market Research Telecast

Posted: at 10:01 am

Two Russian cryopreservation companies, run respectively by former spouses, have been in open conflict. This Wednesday, the ex-husbands firm accused his ex of trying to steal frozen bodies and equipment from a warehouse of his in the city of Sergiyev Posad, in the Moscow region.

In 2006, Valria Udalova and Danila Medvedev, who are currently divorced, they co-founded the cryopreservation company KrioRus, which is dedicated to freezing and storing carcasses of people and animals with the purpose of resuscitating them in a hypothetical future. The bodies are placed in special containers, called Dewar vessels, where, according to the company, they can be preserved without significant changes for hundreds of years.

In 2019, other founders of the firm They expressed their dissatisfaction with the activities of the director, a position then occupied by Udalova, and they decided to dismiss her. In response, Udalova registered another cryonics company of the same name, KrioRus. Medvedev, for his part, co-founded a company called Otkrytaya Crionica.

This Wednesday, from Otkrytaya Crionica they denounced that the day before Udalova employees entered a cryogenics warehouse, cut a part of the hangar wall with an autogenous torch, drained most of the nitrogen from the Dewar vessels, they carried them horizontally along with the patients in two cars and tried to carry them away in the direction of a still unfinished cryogenics warehouse in Tver.

Otkrytaya Crionica employees called the police, who succeeded in having the Dewar glasses returned to the company. The damage caused to cryopatients and to the warehouse still to evaluate. Valrias actions were extremely irresponsible, since they are outside the legal framework and endanger cryopatients. Now the question of starting a criminal case will be determined, said one of the founders, Dmitri Kvasnikov.

Meanwhile, Medvedev declared to the telegram channel Podyom that his ex-spouse wanted to take the Dewar glasses in order to develop his new company. In order for Valria to collect money from new clients, she needs to show that she has a warehouse and cryopatients, he said.

Udalova, for her part, explained that while she was still the director of KrioRus, she had formalized the sale of containers with cryopatients to her new company. I have valid contracts for all teams, but the Police demanded to leave them in the previous place to order the documents, he said.

In a comment for the Gazeta.ru portal, Udalova he refused to clarify if there were bodies in the Dewar vessels and if they were damaged while being transported. Our company only decided to move the equipment from one place to another. My ex-husband and ex-founder Danila Medvedev made a false complaint to the Police, that we were stealing our own equipment. [] He wants to take over everything, he tries to pressure me with all kinds of illegal methods, Held.

Cyberpunk 2077 Update 1.4: Release Date, Roadmap, Patch Notes and Everything We Know So Far – GIVEMESPORT

Posted: at 9:59 am

Cyberpunk 2077 continues to be one of the most popular games currently on the market despite a controversial start to life in the gaming industry.

We fully expect new content to be provided by CD Projekt Red, the game's developers, for update 1.4, with a flurry of optimised DLC for gamers to get stuck into.

Unless you've had your head in the sand, you will know that Cyberpunk 2077 had a hugely questionable launch as many, particularly those who played on PS4, came across a raft of bugs and glitches that hampered their user experience from the off.

That being said, CD Projekt Red could have easily given up on production and focus on Witcher instead. But credit where it's due, the game has progressively been improving with every update that has been provided. So what can we expect this time around?

Here is everything that you need to know regarding Cyberpunk 2077 and the 1.4 update.

The future of Night City could be vastly improved in this patch - but it is likely that we will not find out the extent of the changes for a number of months.

With only two major updates on Cyberpunk 2077 this year alone, it might be a current trend that we can expect a new patch on this game every few months.

While the precise release date is unclear at this time, we will update this article as soon as more information emerges during that timeframe.

The roadmap for this update will be posted here once it has been unveiled.

The patch notes for 1.4 will be listed here once they have been released by the game's developers. So stick with us and we will update this section in due course!

We can explore other worlds without the expense of having humans walk on them – Desert Sun

Posted: at 9:58 am

Ross Marchand| Guest columnist

It looks like mankind wont be going back to the moon … on schedule, at least. According to arecent reportby the National Aeronautics and Space Administration inspector general, astronaut suits have been delayed by two years due to an array of technical, funding, and COVID-related challenges.

The unavoidable conclusion,alunar landing in late 2024 as NASA currently plans is not feasible, is hardly surprising given NASAs string of failures in trying to take humanity back to the lunar surface. The failures also speak to a larger strategic mistake that places inordinate importance on planting flags on alien worlds despite the practical and scientific disadvantages of that approach.

Humanity can venture to infinity and beyond while avoiding the black hole of wasteful spending.

The American people might have reasonably assumed that developing spacesuits is not a problem for NASA. After all, the water cooled, nonflammable Apollo-era suits seemed to pose little problem for pioneers such as Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. But recent problems with current spacesuit design first started to surface in 2017 when the IGreported, despite spending nearly $200 million on extravehicular spacesuit development over the previous 9-year period, the Agency remained years away from having a flight-ready spacesuit to use on exploration missions.

Since that report, NASA spent an additional $220 million on developing a new spacesuit. And total spending will wind up costing the agency (and taxpayers) more than $1 billion ahead of human-led exploration missions. For all of this spending, NASA hasnt done a great job of explaining why new-and-improved spacesuits are even necessary.

According to the IG, the next-generation suits willfeature a new design to accommodate a broader range of sizes and improve fit, comfort and mobility, a response to complaints that existing spacesuits dont fit all body types. The suits are also designed to avoid the bunny hopping seen in the original moon exploration footage. Its frankly unclear why NASA cares so much about increasing the fit and flexibility of their suits.

The truth is thattens of thousands of applicantsare anxious for the chance to explore foreign worlds, and these willing astronauts dont seem too hung up on spacesuit limitations. Even if NASA has better reasons for designing a new suit, the process would undoubtably be less expensive if they relied on outside contracting. SpaceX hasalready offered its services, and chances are a privately-designed spacesuit wouldnt cost $1 billion.

Cost considerations aside, the focus on spacesuit design neglects the bigger picture. Perhaps its time for policymakers to question the wisdom of human exploration missions. Despite bipartisan hype, manned missions to outer space are notoriously overrated.

Robotic missions are a far more cost-effective way of discovering the skies above. Cambridge Cosmology and astrophysics professor and astronomer royal Martin Rees rightlypoints outthatthe practical case (for human spaceflight) gets weaker and weaker with every advance in robotics and miniaturization.

Besides, even successful, temporary human missions to other worlds wont translate into successful long-term habitation. Mars is probably the top contender for an outer space colony, yet even the red planet would need to be extensively terraformed to make it livable for humans. The simple act of growing food is basically impossible on Mars, no matter how many billions of dollars NASA spends on the endeavor.

Regardless of which spacesuits astronauts don in the future, it is time to rethink the Earthly obsession with sending humans to explore other worlds. Naked robots are far better at extraterrestrial endeavors than bundled-up astronauts.
