Abstract:

The cowardly Zionist entity justified its recent aggression against the Gaza Strip through bombings, destruction, and killings, claiming these actions were part of its legal exercise of the right to self-defense, particularly citing legitimate self-defense under Article 51 of the United Nations Charter. This was ostensibly in response to the recent "Operation Al-Aqsa Flood." The entity used this reasoning to justify its deployment of force, aerial and ground bombardments of cities and residential neighborhoods in Gaza, and the killing of innocent civilians, including children, women, the elder

Abstract Background We previously demonstrated the in vitro killing of AML cells by the combination of the lipid-lowering agent bezafibrate (BEZ) and the contraceptive hormone medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA). A phase II trial demonstrated in vivo safety and efficacy of BEZ and MPA (BaP) in elderly, relapsed/refractory AML and high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) patients. However, we observed dose-limiting toxicities in a second trial that attempted to improve outcomes via escalation of BaP doses. Thus we sought to identify a third repurposed drug that potentiates activity of low dose Ba

Abstract:

It has been estimated that five million snake bite cases occur worldwide every year, causing about 100,000 deaths. Snake bite is exclusively accidental in nature. Suicide by snake bite is very rare and homicidal snake bite is not reported. In the present case, a contract killer was hired, who used a poisonous snake to kill an elderly couple by way of direct snake bite. We believe this to be the first case reported where a snake was directly used for the murder of two victims through a contract killer.

The risk of TB susceptibility and mortality is significantly increased in individuals aged 65 and older, confirming that the elderly represent one of the largest reservoirs for M.tb infection.

Abstract Intimate partner homicide suicide (IPHS) events are overwhelmingly male perpetrated (90%). Gender-based violence (GBV) prevention requires ‘best practices’ for media reporting. Consider the following: In a patient room of a busy hospital, an overwhelmed man (71) suicided after firing shots at his wife (70) who had survived a stroke. The gunfire caused trauma among witnesses. Media reports used the term ‘mercy killing,’ but critical ingredients were missing. The CDC’s NVDRS (2022) defines ‘mercy killing’ as “…Killed, at the victim’s request…to end…pain or distress…Do not assume…murder/

Homicide and suicide are complex phenomena raising questions and interest which go far beyond the medical and psychiatric field, as they represent a challenge for an understanding which is, first of all, human. In older adults, homicide and suicide may present together in the homicide-suicide phenomenon. The most common motive underlying this behavior in intimate partner relationships is the so-called “mercy killing”, where the perpetrator kills the partner to eventually allow relief from declining health conditions, and then commits suicide. Actually, older adults account for a disproportiona

This senescence modifies the cell phenotype into a senescent secretory phenotype. This phenotype activates immune cells, leading to chronic systemic inflammation.

AbstractMaking sense of the problems which illiterate people face in gaining access to justice puts the foundations of both the ethnography of law and the modern justice system itself into question. The essay explores this thesis with reference to the case of an elderly dairy farmer whose arrest for the mercy killing of his ailing brother attracted intense local and national attention. Documents from the trial which deal with the construction and use of evidence, confession, and testimony, along with schematic representations of the personal, community, and media responses to the case as depic

Abstract:

Pakshaghata (Stroke) is one of the most common causes of death especially in the elderly. Vataja Nanatmaja Vyadhi, Pakshaghata is a Mahavatavyadhi. Pakshaghata has been linked to hemiplegia, a type of paralysis caused by a cerebrovascular accident or stroke. Paksha refers to a man's flank or side, while Ghata, Aghata, and Vadha refer to killing, destruction, and paralysis. Pakshaghata mainly occurs due to the obstruction of cerebral blood vessels, ischemia, and lack of glucose metabolism and weakness of nerve cells. Ayurveda offers various treatment modalities for the management of Pakshaghata

Abstract INTRODUCTION: Hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) support life-long hematopoiesis. A single HSPC can also be at the origin of hematological malignancies, such as Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) and Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS). Allogeneic HSCT with the intent to eliminate recipient AML or MDS and at the same time replace recipient HSPC with donor-HSPC and immune cells is a life-saving therapeutic option for many patients. However, chemotherapy (and sometimes in addition gamma-irradiation based conditioning regiments) prior to HSCT are associated with substantial toxicity. T

Abstract:

Background For elderly patients the combination Daratumumab-lenalidomide-dexamethasone (D-Rd) is an emerging standard-of-care regimen, able to improve long-term outcomes in MM patients. Nevertheless, CD38 is ubiquitously expressed on both MM cells and immune cells, and the effect of daratumumab on MM microenvironment are still under investigation. Thus, we investigated the potential immunomodulatory effect of D-Rd on T-cells function in patients with newly diagnosed MM. Material and methods PB samples were collected from newly diagnosed MM patients receiving D-Rd (n=8) at baseline and after 2

Patients and Methods: Thirteen patients (5 active disease, 2 molecular relapse and 6 complete remissions) with median age 62 years (range 53–73) received NK cell infusion after immunosuppressive chemotherapy (fludarabine/cyclophosphamide), followed by interleukin-2. Highly purified CD56+CD3- NK cells from haploidentical KIR-L mismatched donors were used. The median number of i

AbstractT. C. Boyle’s fifteenth novel The Harder They Come (2015) offers a fictional inquiry into the American propensity for violence and takes its title from Jimmy Cliff’s 1972 reggae song and its motto from D. H. Lawrence’s characterization of the “essential American soul [as] hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer” (1978: 68). The article investigates how Boyle creates a metafictional historiography by combining two unrelated historical events – the bare-handed killing of a mugger by an elderly American veteran in Costa Rica and the long police hunt for the schizophrenic murderer Aaron Bassler

Abstract:

The aging of organisms is characterized by a gradual functional decline of all organ systems. An appropriate theory must explain four main characteristics of aging: it is progressive, endogenous, irreversible, and deleterious for the individual. The aging of the immune system, or immunosenescence, is manifested by an increased susceptibility to infections with increased morbidity and mortality. Phagocytic capacity, synthesis of reactive oxygen intermediaries, and the intracellular killing efficiency of neutrophils are impaired in the elderly. Among all aging theories, the most updated one desc

Bulbbul, a movie directed by Anvita Dutt, exhibits the typical patriarchal Renaissance setup. A docile image of a woman was exhibited through Bulbbul, who gets married to an elderly Zamindar -Thakur, as a child. After a lapse of twenty years, circumstances take a mysterious turn and Bulbbul becomes a ‘Thakurain’, with no sign of Thakur in the background. Bulbbul was subjected to violence in a patriarchal system, and she bears it with silence. The joy from her life seems to have vanished. Simultaneously; in the village, mysterious incidents occur where some witch seems to be killing

ATM mutant tumour cells exhibit defective p53-mediated apoptosis following DNA damaging agents in vitro and consequently exhibit poor clinical responses. Multiple pro-survival responses are also altered by ATM dysfunction and may reveal novel approaches for treatment. Our pre
