Myths About Bone Marrow Transplantation

Myths About Bone Marrow Transplantation

Though bone marrow transplantation is very vital and important there are quite a few things negative and wrong about it. In other words, there are some myths surrounding bone marrow transplantation. This is because of misinformation and also because many of us are in the comfort zone based on such misconceptions and myths. Many in fact seem to be very happy to be guided by such misconceptions and make very wrong decisions because of their lack of information or wrong information. Hence we thought it fit to share some pertinent and useful information about the various myths about bone marrow transplantation which needs to be understood. This will help quite a bit in taking the right decision about bone marrow transplantation rather than being guided by wrong opinions and hearsays.

Donation Of Bone Marrow Could Negatively Impact The Donor

This is one of the most common myths surrounding bone marrow match transplantation. Though most of us would like to save a life which is in danger, we may not take this step if it hinders our health or life in any manner whatsoever. There are many stories doing the round that those who offer their bone marrow cells for transplanting could see their health taking a beating. This is totally false and misleading. In fact, in almost 100% of the cases, such donation is considered totally harmless. We should bear in mind that once the donation has been done, the bone marrow tissues and cells get replaced rapidly and it comes back to normal within a few weeks at the most.

Bone Marrow Transplantation Is Painful

If any processes, procedures or even surgeries cause pain to you, you would like to stay away from it. However, as far as bone marrow transplantation is concerned, the whole process is painless. There are simple and painless ways and means by which the stem cells from the bone marrow are extracted. It is basically an outpatient procedure and it fully nonsurgical in nature. The donors are put on a drug called Filgrastim which results in increased production of stem cells. The drug is given before the actual extraction or donation takes place. The drug is usually given five days before the actual extraction. The drug is injected painlessly into the donor. Then the actual extraction happens which again is quite safe, simply and completely painless. Both the donor and the receiver are allowed to get back home within a few hours unless there are some serious complications. These are few and far between and extremely rare.

It Is Extracted From The Spine

Many people worry that the extraction takes place from the spine. This is not at all true because it is not extracted from the spine. The likely area is the pelvis and this is done with the help of a syringe. Since the pelvis is not the spine you need not worry about it at all. The doctors and service providers take all care and caution to ensure that the process is completely safe and secure.

Hence it would be better to take an informed decision as a donor and a receiver and you should try not to fall prey to the various myths which are doing rounds across the internet and other sources of information.

Investigating Hillary Clinton

Investigating Hillary Clinton

Investigating The Clinton Email Scandal

From Fox News: Read The Article Here

hillary investigated ” The State Department has opened a formal inquiry into whether former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her aides mishandled classified information while she was the nation’s top diplomat, Fox News has learned. Despite being under investigation, Clinton and her staffers still have security clearances to access sensitive government information.

The department’s investigation aims to determine whether Clinton and her closest aides violated government protocols by using her private server to receive, hold and transmit classified and top-secret government documents. The department declined to say when its inquiry began, but it follows the conclusion of the FBI’s probe into the matter, which did not result in any actions being taken against Clinton or any of her aides. Depending on the outcome of the current State Department inquiry, Clinton and her aides could have their access to sensitive government documents terminated.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, confirmed to Fox News the department’s formal inquiry.

Meanwhile, Grassley’s committee launched its own inquiry into Clinton’s handling of emails, an inquiry that began in March. Grassley cited among his concerns the July 5 statement of former FBI Director James Comey that the agency found Clinton and her staff members were “extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information.” Grassley also contended there is “evidence of potential violations of the statutes regarding the handling of classified information…”

During the FBI’s investigation of Clinton’s use of top-secret and classified information on her private server, deleting emailsComey said there were seven email chains on Clinton’s computer that were classified at the “Top Secret/Special Access Program level.” Another 2,000 emails on her private server were found to have contained information deemed classified now, though not marked classified when sent. In addition, the server also contained 22 top-secret emails deemed too damaging to national security to be released.

Clinton’s spokesperson, Nick Merrill, told Fox News that the investigation into Clinton’s mishandling of classified information is done.

“Nothing’s been more thoroughly dissected. It’s over. Case closed. Literally,” said Merrill.
That’s not a universally held view.

Chris Farrell, of Judicial Watch, a conservative Washington-based government watchdog that has filed a number of lawsuits related to the Clinton email scandal, said he believes Clinton and her “circle of national security criminals” should not have access to any classified information for any reason.  

“Their conduct has cost them that privileged position of special trust and confidence,” Farrell said.
Any other government employee would have been prosecuted under 18 USC Sec. 793(f) (“Mishandling National Defense Information”) and be subject to a long prison sentence and large fines, Farrell added.

“This flagrant double standard for the gang that exposed Top Secret Codeword material to the Russians, Chinese and others is both offensive and deeply corrosive to the intelligence community,” Farrell said. “There is no better evidence that when it comes to Hillary Clinton and her côtèrie — laws are for the little people.”

What Happened With The Electronics?

hillary shreds hard drivesSo the story above was released by Fox news, and it troubles us to think that Hillary clinton could have been so flagrant with her criminal activity. Using a private email server to send classified documents is absolutely insane. Like the article mentions, a normal citizen would have been prosecuted, but Hilary and her political privilege got her out of a legal dilemma that would have incarcerated her. Not only did she delete her emails from the server, but there appears to be evidence that she shredded her hard drives before investigators could recover the data from them. By shredding the drives, she was able to protect herself from further investigation because the FBI would be unable to recover the data from the drives. If this was in fact the case and Hillary did destroy evidence from her server by destroying the hard drives, then this should be a criminal prosecution. Unfortunately, she will never spend a day behind bars like she so deserves. Who knows what happened to the emails, who knows what happened to the hard drives, who knows what happened to the other servers, laptops, and computers that she used during her time in office. It’s possible she recycled all of her electronics, right into an industrial grinder and destroyed it all. We will never know, why you ask? Because we are the little people.

 

 

Ananya Vinay wins the 2017 U.S. Scripps National Spelling Bee

Ananya Vinay wins the 2017 U.S. Scripps National Spelling Bee

June 2, 2017

By Lacey Johnson

OXON HILL, Md. (Reuters) – Ananya Vinay of Fresno, California won the Scripps National Spelling Bee on Thursday, taking home a $40,000 cash prize after 12 hours of picking her way along a precarious lifeline of consonants and vowels.

Vinay, 12, correctly spelled the word marocain, a dress fabric made of warp of silk or rayon and a filling of other yarns, to win the spelling bee held at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center in suburban Washington.

She said she felt “amazing” after defeating Rohan Rajeev, 14, of Edmond Oklahoma during the stirring 25-word championship round.

“It was just fun to see how far it would go,” Vinay said.

The two determined spellers went back and forth for about 45 minutes, peeling off word after word in tense competition of spelling prowess.

Cheirotompholyx, durchkomponiert and tchefuncte were among the words the two spelled correctly during the round. In the end, Rajeev misspelled the word marram before Vinay spelled two words correctly to win the bee.

Vinay plans to split the money with her 7-year-old brother and put it in to her college account.

“She had a deep passion for reading. The biggest thing that she wants to do is sit and read,” her father Vinay Sreekumar said.

Competitors age 6 to 15 emerged from early spelling bees involving more than 11 million youths from all 50 U.S. states, U.S. territories from Puerto Rico to Guam, and several countries, from Jamaica to Japan.

In earlier rounds, some spellers tripped over words including Corriedale, toreutics, cleidoic and panettone, weeding down the field headed for the finish of the 90th national Bee.

Others hung on by correctly spelling catafalque, outarde and chryselephantine.

“What?!” exclaimed Maggie Sheridan, 13, from Mansfield, Ohio, throwing her hands up in disbelief when she learned she correctly spelled whirlicote, a type of luxurious carriage, with one second to spare.

Marlene Schaff, 14, was ousted by misspelling cleidoic, which means to be enclosed in a relatively impervious shell, like an egg.

“I’m disappointed because I was debating between two spellings,” said Schaff of Lake Forest, Illinois.

The youngest-ever competitor, Edith Fuller of Tulsa, Oklahoma, who turned 6 on April 22, was eliminated from the competition late on Wednesday.

New rules this year are aimed at preventing tie endings like last year’s, when two joint winners both got $40,000 cash prizes.

Trump administration asks Supreme Court to revive travel ban

Trump administration asks Supreme Court to revive travel ban

June 2, 2017

By Lawrence Hurley

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Donald Trump’s administration on Thursday asked the U.S. Supreme Court to revive his plan to temporarily ban travelers from six Muslim-majority nations after it was blocked by lower courts that found it was discriminatory.

In deciding whether to allow the ban to go into effect, the nine justices are set to weigh whether Trump’s harsh election campaign rhetoric can be used as evidence that the order was intended to discriminate against Muslims.

The administration filed emergency applications with the nine high court justices seeking to block two different lower court rulings that went against Trump’s March 6 order barring entry for people from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen for 90 days while the U.S. government implements stricter visa screening.

The move comes after the Richmond, Virginia-based 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on May 25 upheld a Maryland judge’s ruling blocking the order.

The administration also filed a separate appeal in that case.

“We have asked the Supreme Court to hear this important case and are confident that President Trump’s executive order is well within his lawful authority to keep the nation safe and protect our communities from terrorism,” Justice Department spokeswoman Sarah Isgur Flores said in a statement.

The American Civil Liberties Union, one of the legal groups challenging the ban, tweeted in response: “We’ve beat this hateful ban and are ready to do it again.”

At least five votes are needed on the nine-justice court in order to grant a stay. The court has a 5-4 conservative majority, with Justice Anthony Kennedy – a conservative who sometimes sides with the court’s four liberals – the frequent swing vote. Another of the court’s conservatives, Neil Gorsuch, was appointed by Trump this year.

If the government’s emergency requests are granted, the ban would go into effect immediately.

The court first has to act on whether to grant the emergency applications, which could happen within a fortnight. Then, the justices will decide whether to hear the government’s full appeal. The Supreme Court is not required to hear the case but is likely to due to its importance and the fact that the request is being made by the U.S. government.

The Justice Department has asked the court to expedite the case so that the justices could hear it at the beginning of their next term, which starts in October. That means, if the court allows the ban to go into effect, the final decision would be issued long after the 90 days has elapsed.

In the court filings, Acting Solicitor General Jeff Wall highlighted the unprecedented nature of courts second-guessing the president on national security and immigration.

“This order has been the subject of passionate political debate. But whatever one’s views, the precedent set by this case for the judiciary’s proper role in reviewing the president’s national-security and immigration authority will transcend this debate, this Order, and this constitutional moment,” he wrote.

In its 10-3 ruling, the appeals court in Virginia said the challengers, including refugee groups and others represented by the American Civil Liberties Union, were likely to succeed on their claim that the order violated the U.S. Constitution’s bar against favoring or disfavoring a particular religion.

The government had argued that the court should not take into account Trump’s comments during the 2016 U.S. presidential race since he made them before he took office on Jan. 20. But the appeals court rejected that view, saying they shed light on the motivations behind Trump’s order.

During the campaign, Trump campaign called for a “total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States.”

His administration has argued that the travel ban is needed to prevent terrorism in the United States.

Federal courts in both Maryland and Hawaii issued rulings suspending key parts of the ban. The appeals court in Virginia upheld the Maryland ruling. A San Francisco-based appeals court is currently considering the Hawaii case.

The administration is asking the Supreme Court to throw out the injunction imposed in both cases.

The March ban was Trump’s second effort to implement travel restrictions on people from several Muslim-majority countries through an executive order. The first, issued on Jan. 27, led to chaos and protests at airports and in major U.S. cities before it was blocked by courts.

The second order was intended to overcome the legal issues posed by the original ban, but it was blocked by judges before it could go into effect on March 16.

NEW YORK (Reuters) – Actress Julianne Moore is urging Americans to wear orange on Friday to mark National Gun Violence Awareness Day.

Moore got involved in campaigning for an end to gun violence after the 2012 shootings of 20 children at Connecticut’s Sandy Hook elementary school, and she is now chair of the Everytown Creative Council.

“When our federal government failed to act I was really shocked and that’s when I realized that I was not being a responsible parent or a citizen by not becoming involved in an issue I cared deeply about,” Moore said on Thursday.

New York’s Empire State Building will be lit up in orange on Friday to mark gun violence awareness.

President Trump promises to negotiate a better deal after pulling the U.S. out of the Paris Climate Accord.

He made the announcement from the White House Thursday.

The President said the agreement allows other countries to gain financial advantage over the United States, so pulling out will help the U.S. compete on a global level.

He said starting now all implementation of the non-binding accord will stop, which will in turn bring money and jobs back to the U.S..

The President worked with EPA Director Scott Pruitt to come to the decision.

President Trump has long said the Obama-era deal adds more regulations that hurt american businesses.

 

Pilots after Pence plane incident thought careers over: transcript

Pilots after Pence plane incident thought careers over: transcript

June 1, 2017

By David Shepardson

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The pilot and first officer of the plane carrying U.S. Republican vice presidential nominee Mike Pence that skidded off a runway in October 2016 thought the incident would end their careers, according to documents released on Thursday.

The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board published transcripts of the cockpit voice recorders from the incident in which the Boeing 737-700 operated by Eastern Air Lines Group ran off the runway at LaGuardia Airport in New York.

There were 37 passengers on the plane, including Pence, his wife, Karen, daughter Charlotte and 11 crew. The plane was coming from Fort Dodge, Iowa, where Pence, who was elected vice president in November’s election, had participated in a campaign event.

The plane was stopped by a crushable type of concrete runway, stopping the aircraft’s movement. No one was injured.

“My career just ended,” one of the pilots said. The other responded: “Mine too.”

One added after landing: “Unfortunately I should have gone straight ahead and we would have been fine, when I made the turn is when I screwed up.” The other pilot responded: “I was fighting you because I was trying to stay on the centerline.”

The pilot said in a statement that the first officer made a maneuver he was not expecting “and I instinctively applied maximum manual braking.”

Eastern Air Lines did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment.

The transcript showed a Secret Service agent entered the cockpit and praised the pilots: “Nice job… you stopped it at least.”

In November, the NTSB reported the plane “floated” above the runway without touching down and landed about 3,000 feet (915 meters) beyond the runway threshold – far more than normal.

The Eastern flight crew did not report any mechanical problems and the flight crews of the four airplanes that landed immediately beforehand did not report any problems with braking on the runway.

Eastern Air Lines is based in Florida and privately held.

Recent immigrants to the U.S. are better educated: report

Recent immigrants to the U.S. are better educated: report

June 1, 2017

By Chris Kenning

CHICAGO (Reuters) – Nearly half the recent immigrants to the United States have college degrees, reflecting a steady increase in educational attainment fueled largely by growing numbers of people from Asia, a study released on Thursday showed.

Rising immigration from countries such as India, China and the Philippines helped increase the share of arrivals with a bachelor’s degree to 48 percent between 2011 and 2015 from 27 percent in the five years through 1990, according to an analysis of U.S. Census data by the Migration Policy Institute, a Washington-based nonpartisan think tank.

The findings followed comments by President Donald Trump in March that the United States had “lower-skilled immigration” and should switch to a “merit-based” system to attract people who could support themselves rather than strain public resources. Earlier this year, a bill was introduced in Congress to cut back on legal immigration.

The rise in immigrant education levels followed higher investment in education globally, changing attitudes about education and gender, and reduced poverty, said the institute’s senior policy analyst Jeanne Batalova.

Also contributing were recent declines in the number of unauthorized immigrants who are less likely to have degrees, she said. According to the Pew Research Center, a subsidiary of the Pew Charitable Trusts, the number of unauthorized immigrants in 2015 fell below 2009 levels.

Batalova said the increasing “human capital” of better-educated immigrants contrasts with political rhetoric casting them as a burden.

“For a very long time, the perception of immigrants was they had low education, were low-skilled and they came to the U.S. to take advantage of opportunity and benefits,” she said.

“Our study sheds light on the fact that the debates and the public understanding of immigration often lags behind the realities.”

The recent rise in education levels drove up the proportion of all adult immigrants in the United States with college degrees to 30 percent in 2015, from 20 percent in 1990, the study said.

Of those with degrees who arrived between 2010 and 2014, 44 percent were on temporary visas such as H1B visas, used by employers to bring in specialized foreign workers, and 34 percent were permanent residents, holding U.S. green cards. Unauthorized residents accounted for 18 percent, mostly those who overstayed visas, Batalova said.

Among immigrants from Asian countries, 62 percent of recent arrivals were college educated, compared with 40 percent from Africa and 23 percent from Latin America. Among immigrants from India, that proportion reached 86 percent, the study found.

The report defined immigrants as naturalized citizens, lawful permanent residents, refugees and asylum seekers, those on student, work or other temporary visas, as well as those residing in the United States without authorization.
