Reply to Scientists find heatwaves at bottom of the ocean along the continental shelves of North America by Creative_soja

Sounds like this has more to do with impacts these temps have on biological life in those regions, and how that impacts those animals interactions with humans? I was curious if it meant earthquakes or volcanoes or something, but likely not? This is not my area of expertise, from the article:

> Warm ocean temperature extremes—known as marine heatwaves (MHW)—can dramatically impact the overall health of marine ecosystems around the globe, including changing the regional distribution of marine species, altering primary productivity, and increasing the risk of negative human-wildlife interactions1,2,3,4,5,6. As a result, there has been a considerable effort to characterize the timing, intensity, duration, and physical drivers of both individual and composite MHW events2,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16.

Edit: I’m going to leave it but, boy, those superscripted linked sources really failed to copy over usefully.

Therapy involves exposing the baby to blue light, however, there are no standard guidelines on the precise color of light, irradiation power and duration. Scientists suggest fluorescence measurement will improve jaundice testing and therapy. by Skoltech_

They were born in Hastings, Nebraska during December. You didn't have all the information you needed, and I apologize for that.

Cloudy climates. High latitudes where the sun shines a few hours or less in winter.

Reply to comment by D74248 in A Swedish study found elite male soccer players are 1.5 times more likely to develop neurodegenerative disease compared to population controls. A previous study from Scotland suggested that soccer players were 3.5 times more likely to develop neurodegenerative disease. by Wagamaga

Yes this should be very obvious. I was a D1 scholarship athlete and there was no way I was telling anyone when I got a concussion in high school after they made it clear what the risks were, including field removal.

I got a neurologist and am on multiple migraine medications in my late 30s.

>It's genuinely amazing how people with the least understanding are always the ones who speak with the most authority.

>The fact that we are able to escape the consequences of evolution in the modern world is something I would expect a kid to know.

Imagine writing these two statements together.

I'd respond to the rest of your comment but I doubt you'll take anything I say seriously. Just FYI though, humanity isn't currently escaping evolution by even the barest stretch of the imagination.

Reply to comment by Ok_Neighborhood6186 in Specific cannabinoids revive adaptive immunity by reversing immune evasion mechanisms in metastatic tumours by Defiant_Race_7544

The reality is that if a cheap compound could be used to completely reverse someone’s cancer, it would likely have been found by now. This research will probably result in virtually no change in cancer treatment and a more comprehensive way of treating specific types of cancers will emerge. We’ve studied the link between cannabis and cancer for decades and the reality is that no significant benefit has been seen from cannabis users.

If anything there are weak associations between cannabis use to increased instances of lung and prostate cancers, although this is far from definitive. I wish a simple herb could cure cancer, but it’s seeming less and less likely.
