Starter comment: pharmaceutical industry reps in the article had the nerve to call drug price negotiations extortion? Meanwhile you have companies like biogen bragging to investors about how their ridiculously priced drugs could bankrupt Medicare. Maybe if they didn't spend the vast majority of their revenues on marketing and saved a higher percentage for actual r&d they could have more reasonable pricing.
This is a really interesting finding. There's precedence too. Pelvic inflammatory disease, classically caused by sexually transmitted bacterial infections like chlamydia or gonorrhea, is associated with a higher risk of developing endometriosis. There also does appear to be a genetic component, but that might have to do with determining how your body responds to infections in a way that's more likely to cause endometriosis. Hopefully finding this new bacterial association can lead to more treatment options.
Totally reasonable concern, fuck Russia but Pravda does have a bit of a vested interest in their reporting to say the least. In this case they're just actually reporting what was said on a Russian propaganda outlet. Disclaimer, I know zero Russian, but a Google translate of the Russian propaganda news networks seems to confirm that Pravda is being factual and this is what Russia is saying.
Yeah not sure what that headline is about, I enjoyed splatoon and thought it was a pretty unique game. More games in the genre is good, spurs innovation and new ideas. No sleep lost unless someone has some toxic brand loyalty. I hope this game does well.
Well I did use sync, now using jerboa of course. Would be neat if sync or other apps could be remade for the fedverse. An app that could bridge different fedverse apps more easily like lemmy and mastadon for instance but keep everything easily readable and sortable would be cool.
The Reuters article is a little light on what's included. Wanted to post a free article anyone could access. Lots of good information, multiple lines of evidence, and interesting soviet history of the dam in the actual article Reuters is citing.
