2021-11-05 21:23:51 Researchers Discover COVID Proteins That Cause Strokes and Heart Attacks

A team of researchers in Israel have pinpointed the proteins in COVID-19 that cause heart attacks and strokes, an accomplishment that the researchers hope will help spur the development of new drugs.

COVID-19, or SARS-CoV-2, is comprised of 29 proteins, of which five lead to vascular issues. To discover this, the researchers created a simulation of a human vascular system and observed the impact of all 29 proteins. From there, they were able to determine which proteins interacted with the vascular system and how.

"What we found is these specific proteins make your vasculature more leaky", Dr Ben Maoz of Tel Aviv University, said. "The tubes become more porous and cannot hold liquid as you would hope".

The discovery could lead to new therapeutics and treatments for patients suffering from the deadly respiratory disease. Open / Comment

Have you ever boiled an egg? After a few minutes of boiling, the protein curdles, becomes dense and white; this process is called denaturation.

At 42°C, the body also starts denaturing (clotting) blood proteins.

Approximately 400 prisoners — all pretrial detainees — are being moved to a federal penitentiary in Pennsylvania, after an “unannounced inspection” found they were being held in unacceptable conditions that did not meet federal standards revealed to The Washington Post.

The DC jail at the center of the matter is where defendants in the deadly January 6 Capitol riot are currently being held.

The detainees were reportedly found in deplorable and unsanitary conditions, with punitive denial of food and water. The findings were referred to the Justice Department Civil Rights Division.

Conditions at a newer Central Treatment Facility, where January 6 defendants are currently held, “were observed to be largely appropriate and consistent with federal prisoner detention standards," USMS determined. Open / Comment

2021-11-04 14:10:34 Roger Stone Weighs In on Possible 2024 Trump Campaign, VA Gubernatorial Election Results

Roger Stone, an ex-campaign adviser and longtime ally to former US President Donald Trump, recently made headlines for admonishing Florida Governor Ron DeSantis over his refusal to conduct an audit of the state's 2020 general election results.

Despite DeSantis' popularity among GOP voters, Stone insisted that the Florida governor should instead focus on auditing his state's 2020 election results. He also mused on what would happen to the state of Florida if DeSantis focused his time on a presidential campaign, rather than the state's residents.

"It's time for Ron DeSantis to pledge that he will support Donald Trump, who has earned our nomination," he proclaimed, without going into further detail on why Trump is owed the GOP spot in 2024.

Asked whether he would support a Trump-Desantis ticket, Stone highlighted that the duo both have primary residences in Florida, which may hypothetically impact the national appeal of Open / Comment

2021-11-03 14:34:35 ‘Squid Game’ Crypto Plunges to Zero Overnight After Massive Valuation Spike

A digital currency inspired by the popular Korean TV series “Squid Game” collapsed on Monday, less than two weeks after investors could start buying tokens. The development has since raised suspicions that the entire venture was a scam.

SQUID token’s website and social accounts disappeared after token’s value had spiked more than 310,000% and reached a peak of $2,856 late Sunday before crashing straight to zero, according to CoinMarketCap.

Additionally, investors were having trouble selling their tokens, and the cryptocurrency's white paper describing SQUID was hampered with grammatical errors.

Based on wallet activity, it’s alleged that the creator of the game effectively walked away with approximately $2.5 million of untraceable binance coin (BNB) from investors.

The game’s website, Twitter account and other social media platforms have since been deleted. Open / Comment

During collisions, atmospheric atoms can lose electrons (ionize) or turn into an excited state for a short time. Photons with different wavelengths are emitted, which is what the human eye or camera sees.

Oxygen is responsible for the green or brownish-red color, as well as the greenish-yellow polar lights. Other constituents of the atmosphere also make small contributions, such as hydrogen and helium giving blue and purple colors. Open / Comment

2021-11-02 15:36:17 How car shortages are putting the world’s economy at risk

Turmoil in the auto industry, a powerful engine of the global economy, is threatening growth and sending tremors through companies and communities that depend on carmakers for money and jobs.

The shock waves from the semiconductor crisis, which is forcing virtually all carmakers to eliminate shifts or temporarily shut down assembly lines, could be strong enough to push some countries into recession. In Japan, home of Toyota and Nissan, parts shortages caused exports to fall by 46 percent in September compared with a year earlier - a potent demonstration of the car industry’s importance to the economy.
