Nutritionists talk about diets that fight inflammation and doctors tell people to ice inflammation that’s due to injuries. However, it’s not that simple. Inflammation is a necessary part of the healing process and is brought on by the immune system’s response to a problem. So, in that way, inflammation helps us heal and is a good thing....

Psychology and neuroscience professor John Staddon at Duke University was removed from the APA’s Society for Behavioral Neuroscience and Comparative Psychology (SBNCP) Division 6 listserv and was notified via email by the group’s presidential trio who said use of the forum was a “privilege,” in the statements republished by the National Association of Scholars (NAS) on April 30. “It is sad that an audience of supposed scientists is unable to take any dissenting view, such as the suggestion that there really are only two sexes,” Staddon said in reply to the notification of his removal from the division’s group before allowing NAS to publish the email exchange....

The NSAC regulates many of the biggest boxing and MMA fights in the world.

The Nevada commission will still continue testing for marijuana in the short term, though that is said to be for data purposes....

The bill passed the State Assembly last week in a 30-11 vote, and the State Senate on Monday in a 15-6 vote. This new legislation proposes changing Nevada’s process from a caucus to a primary, and moves the date earlier than New Hampshire and Iowa’s contests. This would make Nevada the first state in the nation to hold a presidential primary. The bill will now go to Democratic Gov. Steve Sisolak’s desk to be signed or vetoed....

“Nevada absolutely could be the Michigan of 2020,” Las Vegas veteran Democratic strategist Andres Ramirez said. “I am certainly not convinced that Nevada is a slam dunk for the Biden team. I am certainly not convinced that we know where this is going to go at this moment.” The state’s recovery has been hampered by the coronavirus pandemic’s gutting of the tourism industry, which led Nevada to have the worst unemployment figures in the nation after casinos and hotel lobbies went dark for months....

During Wednesday night’s episode of the hugely popular syndicated quiz show, the piano teacher and church organist from Spring Hill, Tennessee, spoke with host Ken Jennings about the health woes she has since overcome.

SORL1 is a logical player in Alzheimer’s. Scientists already knew that it makes a protein—similarly dubbed sorL1—that performs many tasks in a brain cell. Among these is the job of binding to a substance called amyloid precursor protein (APP) and making sure it goes to a part of the cell where it will be chopped into harmless segments. If there is too little sorL1, APP strays instead into a different part of the cell, where it is transformed into a gummy substance called beta amyloid, or A-beta....

The VOC—dubbed P2 or P.1.1—is a mutation of the variant first detected in Brazil called P1 that is more transmissible and appears to have a higher risk of reinfecting people that have already contracted the original virus. Officials have so far identified two cases of the P2 variant in Florida—a 74-year-old man in Broward County and a 51-year-old woman in Duval County. The P2 variant is similar to P1 but contains slightly different genetic mutations....

EARLY DETECTION: Mammography has been found to be a less reliable detection device than previously thought. Now a study in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute suggests that monthly self-exams do not lower the incidence of death from the disease. Meanwhile, magnetic resonance imaging has been found to detect tumors, though it is still not recommended as a mammogram replacement. In a study in this month’s issue of Radiology, ultrasound detected breast cancer in women with dense breasts who had normal mammograms and physical exams....
