    1. Urgent treatment for neoplasm consists of (1) cautious use of intravenous diuretics and (2) mediastinal irradiation, starting within 24 hours, with a treatment plan designed to give a high daily dose of radiation but a short total course of therapy to rapidly shrink the local tumor. Intensive radiation therapy combined with chemotherapy will palliate the process in up to 90% of patients. In patients with a subacute presentation, radiation therapy alone usually suffices. Chemotherapy is added if lymphoma or small-cell carcinoma is diagnosed

      endovascular stenting emerging as first-line therapy for rapid symptom relief, while definitive treatment targets the underlying cause

      Glucocorticoids (dexamethasone 4 mg every 6 hours) are commonly prescribed but lack robust supporting data; they may be more beneficial in lymphoma or thymoma and as prophylaxis against radiation-induced edema. [2-4] Importantly, SVC syndrome is no longer considered a medical emergency except in rare cases with life-threatening cerebral edema, laryngeal edema, or altered mental status. When thrombosis is present, catheter-directed thrombolysis or aspiration thrombectomy should be performed within 2-5 days of symptom onset before thrombus organization occurs. [3] The role of long-term anticoagulation after stenting remains unclear, though it is standard when significant thrombosis is present The American College of Chest Physicians recommends obtaining histologic diagnosis before treatment in suspected lung cancer cases, as stenting does not interfere with tissue diagnosis. [2] For small cell lung cancer (SCLC), chemotherapy alone is recommended as first-line treatment given rapid response rates. [2] For non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), radiation therapy and/or stent insertion are recommended, with response rates of 59% for chemotherapy and 63% for radiation therapy. [2] Patients with chemotherapy- or radiation-refractory disease should receive vascular stents For device-related thrombosis (catheters, pacemakers), catheter removal should be considered in conjunction with anticoagulation. [4] Endovascular therapy is first-line for device-related obstruction, while surgical bypass may be preferred for mediastinal fibrosis. [7] Both approaches show good mid-term patency, though secondary interventions are common (approximately 27-28%

    1. "Create Space"<br /> the biggest EMF sources in notebooks are the CPU and GPU, located directly under the keyboard.<br /> fix: use external keyboard and mouse

      generally:<br /> buy an EMF meter for about 20 euros, and measure all the things.<br /> in an electric car, measure at your feet, the EMF meter will go "out of range"...

      touchscreens/touchpads are especially bad, because of the capacitive coupling between your fingers and the device.<br /> worst case: prolonged use of a touchscreen device connected to a battery charger.<br /> at some point, your hands will start to "burn" (painful cramping)

      insect suicide:<br /> again and again, i see insects (ladybirds, bees, ...) deliberately sitting on my notebook keyboard,<br /> directly over the CPU, with the most radiation.<br /> they sit there for a few minutes, until they are dead.<br /> i guess that these insects are so stressed-out by the EMF radiation in my appartment<br /> (power grid harmonics, switched-mode power supplies, wifi, 5G, CPUs, ...),<br /> so when they find no way to exit my appartment (all windows closed),<br /> then they switch to "suicide mode" and land on my notebook keyboard...

    1. working on the space shuttle that they have inherent mitochondrial 00:10:20 dysfunction just from the ambient radiation because they're not protected by the Earth's atmosphere so can you imagine what's going to happen on a Mars mission 00:10:32 there'll be lucky they can crawl out of the capsule when they get back home because their mitochondria going to be so dysfunctional

      for - health - mitochondrial dysfunction - radiation - radiation in space causes mitochondrial dysfunction

    1. Radiation therapy (also called radiotherapy) is a cancer treatment that useshigh doses of radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. At low doses,radiation is used as an x-ray to see inside your body and take pictures, such asx-rays of your teeth or broken bones.

    1. Visible light, microwaves, and radio frequency (RF) radiation are forms of non-ionizing radiation.  Non-ionizing radiation does not have enough energy to knock electrons out of atoms. X-rays are a form of ionizing radiation. Exposure to ionizing radiation can alter atoms and molecules and cause damage to cells in organic matter

    1. Organizations as varied as Y Combinator, MIT’s Radiation Lab, and ARPA have astonishing track records in catalyzing progress far beyond their confines.

      Are they really the ones pushing the progress and innovating, or are they benefiting from filtering out only the highest level potential producers and simply supporting them?

      Would we get more overall benefit from raising the level of the ocean so that all boats rise instead of a select few?


      Another example, how was Hungary able to produce so many Nobel Prize winners?

    1. bomb would also release an intense burst of gamma and neutron radiation which would be lethal for nearly everyone directly exposed within about two-thirds of a mile from the center of the blast
