Para mi padre fui hijo, hija, él, ella, ello

Image
[ad_1] Mi padre y yo estábamos en Starbucks aproximadamente un año después de que él supiera que tenía alzhéimer cuando me miró de arriba abajo con su ojo de juez y le dijo al barista: “Este, ejem… hombre quiere un latte”. Me reí, sin saber si estaba bromeando. Hasta ese momento, siempre había sido su hija.Es cierto que nunca había sido una hija típica. Cuando era más joven fui una niña poco femenina, o lo que Larry David llamaría más tarde “pre-gay”. Llevaba el pelo corto y despeinado, y vestía la ropa usada de mi hermano mayor; la gente solía pensar que era su hermano pequeño. De mayor me seguían confundiendo con un hombre cisgénero. Me han llamado “señor” más veces de las que puedo contar, lo cual, francamente, nunca me ha importado. Por lo general, me ha complacido que la gente me considere varón, incluso antes de mi reciente cirugía de reconstrucción de tórax y de las dosis bajas de testosterona que empecé a tomar hace unos años. Pronto se hizo evidente que mi padre no brome...

Pasteurized Dairy Foods Free of Live Bird Flu, Federal Tests Confirm

Image
[ad_1] Additional testing of retail dairy products from across the country has turned up no signs of live bird flu virus, strengthening the consensus that pasteurization is protecting consumers from the threat, federal health and agriculture officials said at a news briefing on Wednesday. But the scope of the bird flu outbreak in cattle remains unclear, as dairy herds are not routinely tested for the infection, scientists and other experts have noted. Just one human infection, which was mild, has been reported, in a dairy worker in Texas who had direct contact with sick cows. But scientists fear there may be many more undetected infections, particularly among farm workers. Barely two dozen people have been tested for bird flu, federal officials said at the briefing. There have been no unusual increases in flu cases around the country, even in areas with infected cows, they added. But Dr. Keith Poulsen, director of the Wisconsin Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory, said that farms are...

Image
[ad_1] BRUSSELS : EU member countries and the European Parliament said Wednesday they have reached a preliminary agreement on curbing industrial emissions , including those from intensive poultry and pig farms and from ore mines.

It would also update a European pollutant release and transfer register known as E-PRTR. The parliament noted in a statement that emissions from...

New prostate cancer treatment could be on the horizon, say UK researchers: ‘Tremendously exciting’

Image
[ad_1] Prostate cancer patients could have a new treatment on the horizon. A new study published in the journal Nature has found that for some patients with treatment-resistant prostate cancer , a new process can "block" the messages that cancer uses to "hijack" white blood cells. In early clinical trials, researchers from The Institute of Cancer Research in the U.K. found that this process made advanced prostate cancers more treatable, "shrinking tumors or halting their growth," according to a press release from the university. PROSTATE CANCER SYMPTOMS, WARNING SIGNS AND TREATMENT The researchers targeted "feeder" myeloid white blood cells, which are typically pulled into cancer tumors to advance the disease. This was the first human trial to show that this approach can slow the growth of cancer tumors and make them more responsive to treatment. In the study, patients with advanced disease received two medications: AZD5069, an experimental...
