Reply to Alleviation of Asthma Symptoms After Ketogenic Diet: A Case Report - Over the four months on the ketogenic diet, the patient reported losing 20 kg of weight, reduction in blood pressure, and complete alleviation of asthma symptoms. by Meatrition
"Here we present a case of asthma [...]" - A case? As in one? I mean, that might suggest additional research might be warranted... but, honestly, it could just as well be that the individual is allergic to something they stopped eating when they switched to the Keto Diet.
In truth, a single person doesn't even qualify as a blip on the radar... worse yet, those who advocate for the Keto Diet (which is nutritionally incomplete) will take this 'evidence' as proof that Keto is the next coming of Christ.
I'm not saying this shouldn't be looked into, but I find it highly disappointing this ever made it to the NIH, especially with the subtle implication of a single instance being dispositive.

Study focuses on the people who lived between 35,000 and 5,000 years ago and that are, at least partially, the ancestors of the present-day population of Western Eurasia, including – for the first time – the genomes of people who lived during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) by Wagamaga

Reply to Alleviation of Asthma Symptoms After Ketogenic Diet: A Case Report - Over the four months on the ketogenic diet, the patient reported losing 20 kg of weight, reduction in blood pressure, and complete alleviation of asthma symptoms. by Meatrition
Abstract
Asthma is a chronic disease that affects the quality of life of patients, and asthma exacerbations are often a reason for hospitalization and activity limitations. Obesity has been linked to asthma as a risk and exacerbating factor. Evidence suggests that weight reduction has a positive effect on asthma control. However, there is also debate on the role of the ketogenic diet in asthma control. Here we present a case of asthma who reported markedly improved asthma after starting a ketogenic diet in the absence of any other lifestyle change. Over the four months on the ketogenic diet, the patient reported losing 20 kg of weight, reduction in blood pressure (without antihypertensives), and complete alleviation of asthma symptoms. This case report is important as the control of asthma after a ketogenic diet is not studied well in humans and therefore needs to be studied extensively.
Keywords: asthma; case report; control; ketogenic diet; management.

That is just amazing, especially knowing so much detail. Really makes you think what else is locked up away in there, memories, experience, thoughts, and the potential of all that.

I guess, but I'd definitely lean more towards "pick a better name" :)

Reply to Researchers in Japan have developed an inexpensive method for fabricating multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) on a plastic film. The proposed method produces wiring suitable for developing all-carbon devices, including flexible sensors and energy conversion and storage devices. by rustoo
This can be used for flexible electronics, wearable sensors, and energy storage and conversion devices. This new method allows for the production of wires with different resistance values in the same process, making it very versatile.

I'm sure that's true sometimes as well. I am not saying there's one and only one reason, just that me often than not when I see these silly intentional misspellings, there's just no good reason for it.

well, yeah. Wouldn't every measure of price increase with inflation? Their costs go up too.

We know sunflowers are inspirational plants, even to famous painters. Vincent Van Gogh loved sunflowers so much, he created a famous series of paintings, simply called ‘sunflowers’.

People lost 4 lbs in 3 months eating the low carb bread. People over 55 lost 5 lbs.
> The rye bread was made from type 997 flour, the low-insulin-stimulating bread consisted of oat flakes, sunflower seeds, flax seeds, chia seeds, psyllium husks, chopped almonds, baker’s honey, and Rhinish field beans

Reply to Aromatic hexazine rings — [N₆]⁴⁻ — an all-nitrogen analogue of benzene, have finally been synthesized by researchers using high-pressure, laser-heated synthesis. The hexazine rings are present within a complex K₉N₅₆ structure containing [N₆]⁴⁻ and [N₅]⁻ rings as well as neutral nitrogen dimers. by MurphysLab
Previously, aromatic hexazine, [N₆]⁴⁻, was a hypothetical chemical structure which would follows Hückel rule for aromaticity: a planar ring molecule will have aromatic properties if it has 4n + 2 π electrons, where n is a non-negative integer.
Compounds with a high proportion of nitrogen tend to exhibit explosive properties, given the relative stability of molecular nitrogen (N₂ gas) (see: The Explosive Chemistry of Nitrogen: A Fascinating Journey From 9th Century to the Present), making their synthesis both difficult and risky, hence why a synthesis for [N₆]⁴⁻ has been so long in coming and why it would need to be performed at high pressure.
Prior to this, all-nitrogen aromaticity, had restricted to the [N₅]⁻ pentazolate anion. A similar synthesis reported in 2022 produced the anti-aromatic [N₆]²⁻, starting from potassium azide (KN₃).
The results are published in Nature Chemistry:
Dominique Laniel et al.: Aromatic hexazine [N₆]⁴⁻ anion featured in complex structure of the high-pressure potassium nitrogen compound K₉N₅₆. Nature Chemistry (2023). DOI: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41557-023-01148-7

I took 4 years of French and have forgotten most of it. But I will have a dream once in a blue moon where I've had full-blown conversations with people in French. Even having woken up and checked some of the vocab used and it seems to have been at least mostly correct. Pisses me off because when awake I absolutely cannot speak French for the life of me. I think part of it is in dreams you don't need to feel careful or second guess yourself, idk.
