Early detection is key to managing skin cancer effectively. Body mapping is a simple but powerful tool that helps track changes in the skin, allowing for early identification of suspicious spots. Monitoring moles, freckles, and other marks on the skin can lead to timely medical intervention and improved outcomes.

Random guess that you of course don’t have to answer, is his name Valentino?

Good guess, but no.

Hi!

I wonder how Nico,Marcus and Jules will deal with anxiety or anxiety/Panic attacks

Niko would hold it off for as long as humanly possible. He'd grit his teeth, ball his hands into fists -- boy is DESPERATE not to show his emotions like that. Would deal with it as internally as possible.

Markus' go-to to Big Feelings is anger, so if he was anxious about something, he'd probably get mad about it. Like maybe, I don't know, he's anxious about MC finding someone else so he shows that by starting arguments about stupid stuff. But if it's a full on panic attack, he's crying his eyes out, snot everywhere, a MESS.

Jules , well, he cant allow himself to fall into a panic attack, there's too much on the line for him to allow it so he compartmentalizes for as long as he can. That being said, once he is alone and his defenses drop, he literally drops as well; you'll typically find him in a corner with his head is his hands as he tries to breathe through it on his own

plot twist i don't have breast cancer

[boltedfruit]

So after having rhinoplasty/septoplasty and some other minor facial surgery for masculinization purposes (a very little bit of chin and jaw lipo) and after being in the end stages of my phalloplasty I can confidently say if I had to do one procedure again once a month for the rest of my life, I'd never do nose surgery again.

Can I breathe now? Yes. Is my nose bump gone? Yes. But NOTHING on earth is worth going through the little splints they suture inside your nose and having them removed for a second time.

Whenever I get stuck on a hard level of a video game, for some reason my stress response is the overwhelming desire to fucking BITE something.

[tropylium]

Jeez dang no it's not something irritating stuck in my gums, it looks like that that one tooth has cracked once again, for what, the third or fourth time?

it is a tooth that's been root canalled years ago so yeah it doesn't complain very much & I'll gladly take this over any other tooth of mine cracking, but of course, you never want cracked teeth to begin with

INDOLE-3-BUTYRIC ACID (IBA)

Indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) is a natural plant hormone that plays a crucial role in stimulating root development and growth in plants. It's commonly used in horticulture and agriculture to promote successful propagation through methods like rooting cuttings and grafting. IBA helps in the formation of new roots by encouraging cell division and differentiation in the plant's stem tissue. It's available in various formulations, including powders and gels, making it easy to apply during the rooting process. IBA is a valuable tool for enhancing the success rate of plant propagation and ensuring the establishment of healthy plants.

same with hysterectomies?? there are literally SO MANY CONDITIONS that people get hysterectomies for, even if the uterus is technically a “healthy body part”. i get that bills like this aren’t actually about medicine, they’re about hurting trans people and denying access to reproductive health care, but still. that’s like… unusually deranged to put in a bill.

Texas’ HB 3399 bill will kill people if it passes. It will make hormone therapy illegal. For all ages. Period. This was never about women’s sports. It was never about bathrooms. It was never about “protecting the children”. They want us dead. If you’re a fellow trans person and you live in Texas, I strongly urge you to be ready to move somewhere safer.

Boys love my pheromones when I free-bleed and give death stares on the bus.

i wish those leg scooter things werent so expensive cause its make me a lot more mobile… renting one costs basically as much as buying one and i won’t need it forever just until the 3 inch gaping wound on my ankle closes

"Once thought to be extinct, black-footed ferrets are the only ferret native to North America, and are making a comeback, thanks to the tireless efforts of conservationists.

Captive breeding, habitat restoration, and wildlife reintegration have all played a major role in bringing populations into the hundreds after near total extinction.

But one other key development has been genetic cloning.

In April [2024], the United States Fish and Wildlife Service announced the cloning of two black-footed ferrets from preserved tissue samples, the second and third ferret clones in history, following the birth of the first clone in December 2020. 

Cloning is a tactic to preserve the health of species, as all living black-footed ferrets come from just seven wild-caught descendants.  This means their genetic diversity is extremely limited and opens them up to greater risks of disease and genetic abnormalities. 

Now, a new breakthrough has been made.

Antonia, a black-footed ferret cloned from the DNA of a ferret that lived in the 1980s has successfully birthed two healthy kits of her own: Sibert and Red Cloud.

These babies mark the first successful live births from a cloned endangered species — and is a milestone for the country’s ferret recovery program.

The kits are now three months old, and mother Antonia is helping to raise them — and expand their gene pool.

In fact, Antonia’s offspring have three times the genetic diversity of any other living ferrets that have come from the original seven ancestors.

Researchers believe that expanded genetic diversity could help grow the ferrets’ population and help prime them to recover from ongoing diseases that have been massively detrimental to the species, including sylvatic plague and canine distemper. 

“The successful breeding and subsequent birth of Antonia's kits marks a major milestone in endangered species conservation,” said Paul Marinari, senior curator at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute. 

“The many partners in the Black-footed Ferret Recovery Program continue their innovative and inspirational efforts to save this species and be a model for other conservation programs across the globe.”

Antonia actually gave birth to three kits, after mating with Urchin, a 3-year-old male ferret. One of the three kits passed away shortly after birth, but one male and one female are in good health and meeting developmental milestones, according to the Smithsonian.

Mom and babies will remain at the facility for further research, with no plans to release them into the wild.

According to the Colorado Sun, another cloned ferret, Noreen, is also a potential mom in the cloning-breeding program. The original cloned ferret, Elizabeth Ann, is doing well at the recovery program in Colorado, but does not have the capabilities to breed. 

Antonia, who was cloned using the DNA of a black-footed ferret named Willa, has now solidified Willa’s place as the eighth founding ancestor of all current living ferrets.

“By doing this, we’ve actually added an eighth founder,” said Tina Jackson, black-footed ferret recovery coordinator for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, in an interview with the Colorado Sun. 

“And in some ways that may not sound like a lot, but in this genetic world, that is huge.”

Along with the USFWS and Smithsonian, conservation organization Revive & Restore has also enabled the use of biotechnologies in conservation practice. Co-founder and executive director Ryan Phelan is thrilled to welcome these two new kits to the black-footed ferret family.

“For the first time, we can definitively say that cloning contributed meaningful genetic variation back into a breeding population,” he said in a statement.

“As these kits move forward in the breeding program, the impact of this work will multiply, building a more robust and resilient population over time.”"

PRESERVING THE PAST, DIAGNOSING THE FUTURE: FFPE BLOCKS IN CANCER TISSUE RESEARCH

FFPE tissue preservation involves two critical steps: fixation and embedding. The fixation process begins by immersing the tissue sample in formalin, a formaldehyde solution, which cross-links proteins and stabilizes cellular structures. This step is crucial as it prevents the degradation of tissue and preserves morphological details at the microscopic level

Shedding Pounds and Feeling Great: My Wife's Success Story with Lean Flux

My wife, Sarah, had been struggling with her weight for a while. Despite maintaining a healthy diet and exercising regularly, the pounds seemed stubbornly stuck. It was frustrating, and her confidence was taking a hit.

Seeing Results with a Sister's Recommendation

Then, her sister introduced her to Lean Flux, a dietary supplement designed to aid weight loss. Initially sceptical, Sarah was hesitant. However, after reading positive reviews and understanding the science behind brown adipose tissue (BAT) activation, she decided to give it a try.

Boosting Metabolism with Brown Adipose Tissue

Lean Flux focuses on increasing brown adipose tissue (BAT) levels. Unlike regular fat, BAT burns calories and generates heat, essentially boosting your metabolism. This appealed to Sarah, as it offered a natural approach to weight management.

Safe and Effective Ingredients

We researched the ingredients in Lean Flux, and they seemed safe and natural. Green tea extract, cayenne pepper, and forskolin are all known for their metabolism-boosting properties. Additionally, the website clearly listed all ingredients, which gave us peace of mind.

A Gradual But Noticeable Change

Within a few weeks of taking Lean Flux daily, Sarah started noticing a difference. The weight loss wasn't dramatic, but it was steady and consistent. More importantly, she felt more energetic throughout the day. The afternoon slumps she used to experience became a thing of the past.

Sustainable Weight Management and Increased Energy

Lean Flux, combined with her healthy lifestyle, proved to be a winning formula. The weight loss, although gradual, was sustainable. But the real bonus was the increase in energy levels. Sarah felt more motivated to exercise, creating a positive feedback loop for her overall health.

A Positive Experience: Recommendable for Weight Management

Overall, Sarah's experience with Lean Flux has been very positive. It wasn't a magic bullet, but it provided a gentle nudge in the right direction. Lean Flux, coupled with a healthy diet and exercise, can be a valuable tool for anyone looking to manage their weight and boost their energy levels.
