Parents and medical providers are being called on to be careful with prescription cough medication as overdoses among children are on the rise.

Calls to poison control centers in the United States reporting the ingestion of prescription cough medicine by children rose by 158% between 2010 and 2018, according to a study published Tuesday by the Food and Drug Administration.

The study, published in the journal Pediatrics, found that pediatric poisonings involving the drug benzonatate, sold under the brand name Tessalon, have increased each year.

As the world rushes toward “the greatest disconnect between supply and demand in the history of commodities,” Snow Lake Lithium CEO Philip Gross talks us through his company’s plans to open the world’s first all-electric lithium mine in Canada.

Now that we’re starting to see the chaotic and destructive early effects of climate change begin to wreak havoc the world over, the world seems to have finally reached a consensus that we need to decarbonize as rapidly as possible. Which is great – better late than never. But a huge percentage of the push toward net zero carbon by 2050 is going to rely on batteries, and the simple fact is this: there’s not going to be enough lithium.

There’s plenty in the ground, but as we wrote a couple of months ago, there’s nowhere near enough coming out of it, and while everyone seems to be expecting electric vehicles to continue taking over the auto market, the numbers look dire. By 2030, if all existing mines keep producing and everything that’s under construction comes to fruition, there’ll still be barely enough metal to satisfy half of demand. This will be a lithium resource squeeze of epic proportions.

A trip deep into the far future, to the End of Earth.

For most of human history, the end of Earth, the Universe, and Time itself were all identical, now we know the world will end in 4 billion years, long before the Universe begins to wind down. Today we will ask how we can extend that, and keep Earth around for far longer.

The cosmic explosion happened 11.5 billion years ago, when the universe was fairly young, and could shed light on the evolution of stars and galaxies.

This is primarily about Rejuvant or AKG trials. When they first reported an 8 year age difference I did not truly believe it as that would mean I could take it, de-age, then age a bit, then just take it again. The tests however are ongoing and will feature people who are biologically older than their calendar age. There is also mention of 110 drugs/supplements that do “something” to mice. That would be quite a stack to take.

Dr Brian Kennedy presents potential interventions for extend our healthspan. Among them, Rejuvant – a CaAKG supplement which contain calcium + alpha-ketoglutarate shows better response for people who has biological age older than chronological age.

This included ‘evaluating life’, such as seeing memories and assessing how they had treated others during their time alive.

Others felt like they were ‘heading to a destination’ or were even aware that CPR was being performed.

Dr Sam Parnia, study author and a critical care expert from New York medical centre NYU Langone Health, said patients can also be aware of activities in intensive care after CPR and hear medics treating them.

Summary: Findings could have implications for new avenues of research for a range of neurodegenerative diseases including ALS and Alzheimer’s.

A discovery that may improve treatment options for patients with neurodegenerative diseases has been made by scientists at King’s College London and the University of Bath in the UK.
