Miralax side effects kidney damage

Scientists at Yale University, in the US, discovered it was the supposedly protective pigment melanin that was causing the damage. The team say the findings may lead to better sunscreens that can prevent the extra damage. British experts said that the findings "reinforce" current advice. When UV radiation pummels our skin cells, it can cause mutations in the DNA. Melanin, the pigment behind a tan or natural skin tone, is the body's defence as it absorbs the radiation. What scientists did not know previously was what happens to all the energy that the melanin has absorbed.

As Lewis Hamilton clambered out of his Mercedes in Baku, a whole other side to the porpoising situation became very clear. Up to that point, it had been spoken about as a car performance issues. Some teams, such as Red Bull and Ferrari , had it handled fairly early, while others – notably Mercedes – continued to struggle the violent oscillations caused by the ground-effect aerodynamics reintroduced for Formula 1 cars this year. But the image of seven-time world champion Hamilton struggling to stand up straight, coupled with team-mate George Russell's revelation of back and chest pains, turned attention elsewhere. Performance is one thing, but the health and safety of the drivers was now very much in the spotlight. "I was not surprised, to be honest," said osteopath Gemma Fisher, when asked by Mirror Sport what her reaction was to those images. "With this sort of sport there is so much emphasis on the cars and the engineering, and people think the person operating … [Read more...] about Lewis Hamilton agony “doesn’t surprise” osteopath who reveals long-term porpoising damage

FOR MORE THAN 350 years, men have been going to Georges Bank, 150 miles out on the continental shelf east of Cape Cod, to fish for cod, haddock, yellowtail flounder, scallops, lobsters. They have decimated stocks more than once, but the fisheries are still there. Back in the early seventies, when catches were unsustainably high, the harvest was, acre-for-acre, the largest in the world. Now other men are heading out to Georges to hunt—through holes inches wide and miles deep—for oil and gas. There won’t be many men at first, perhaps a few hundred aboard a handful of exploratory rigs. But that is enough to signal the fact that along the great submerged thumb stretching from Nantucket Shoals toward Nova Scotia, competition for resources has begun in earnest. The conflict involves two resources in one place, both of importance to the modern world. Oil from Georges would reduce our dependence on foreign supplies, if only slightly. Fish—a resource capable of providing half our minimum … [Read more...] about Resources: Oil, Fish, and Georges Bank

A man has admitted killing his neighbours’ cats after a father and daughter turned detective and found bowls of poison-laced tuna in his garden. Tristian Paul Pearson, 44, of Bargoed in South Wales, lured family pets - Luna and Bailey - into consuming the toxic substance ethylene glycol. The two cats died shortly after the poisonings took place in early September 2021, when within a week of each other they returned home appearing very unwell. Both cats seemed weak and wobbly on their legs, with male Persian Bailey dying before he could be seen by a vet. Luna, who was later found to have kidney failure, had to be put to sleep by a vet to prevent her ongoing suffering. At a hearing on Friday, Cardiff Crown Court heard how following their deaths the cats’ devastated owners, a father and daughter who lived in two separate houses near Pearson’s home, began searching their neighbours’ gardens. When they looked into the rear garden of Pearson’s property they spotted two pots, one … [Read more...] about Father and daughter duo solve mystery of neighbour cat killer

Dairy farmers were worst-hit by the drought in the UK, sending herds of cows to slaughter because there wasn't enough fodder, which is feed for livestock. Backlogs at the abattoir reached four weeks, one farmer in the UK's Northwest told Euronews.
