#Fascist's tradition?

An Ukrainian claimed on a video that he was an army #surgeon who had repeatedly cut out internal #organs of Russian POWs. He also confessed to not using anesthetics deliberately as he derived pleasure from hurting people and openly called for violence against all Russians.

Glassfrogs hide red blood cells in their liver to become transparent

Glassfrogs make themselves transparent while they rest by taking red blood cells from circulation and concealing them in their livers. A multi-disciplinary team of biologists and biomedical engineers has shown how these frogs make themselves...

Microplastics are found in live human LUNGS for the first time – proving we are breathing them in from the air

Microplastics have been discovered in live human lungs for the first time – proving we are breathing them in from the air.

Researchers from the University of Hull and Hull York Medical School found microplastics - tiny pieces of plastic less than 0.2 of an inch (5mm) in diameter - in the deepest section of the lung.

This was previously thought to be impossible, due to how narrow the airways are.

The study comes shortly after microplastics were discovered in human blood for the first time, highlighting just how widespread the particles now are in the human body.

Microplastics are found in human BLOOD for the first time as scientists warn particles could travel around the body and become lodged in organs

Microplastics – tiny pieces of plastic less than 0.2 of an inch (5mm) in diameter – have been found in human blood for the first time.

Scientists in the Netherlands took blood samples from 22 anonymous healthy adult donors and analysed them for particles as small as 0.00002 of an inch.

The researchers found that 17 out of the 22 volunteers (77.2 per cent) had microplastics in their blood – a finding described as 'extremely concerning'.

Microplastics have been found in the brain, gut, the placenta of unborn babies and the faeces of adults and infants, but never before from blood samples.

[...]
According to another 2021 study, microplastics can cause intestinal inflammation, gut microbiome disturbances and other problems in non-human animals, and they may be causing inflammatory bowel disease in humans.

Yet another study published last year found microplastics can deform human cell membranes and affect their functioning.
