Mainstream media coverage would lead one to believe that those who support Donald Trump are uneducated rubes. The picture painted is that of cursing, racist white males, MAGA hats proudly displayed, watching NASCAR as they knock back mass quantities of cheap beer. There has emerged, however, an intellectual movement that shatters this stereotype.
A group of "national conservatives," consisting of academics, journalists, and politicians prominent on the right, recently gathered in Washington, D.C.'s Ritz-Carlton hotel. Yoram Hazony, author of the book The Virtue of Nationalism and an organizer of the conference, dubbed the event "the coming together of diverse bands of conservatives." The group included a full spectrum of conservative thought, with venture capitalists, Calvin Coolidge fans, libertarians and isolationists among those represented. A common thread was the belief that this country's institutions and form of government remain "the most logical vessel for political organization known to man," to quote National Review.
Fox News host Tucker Carlson, whose drift toward populism evokes comparisons to Pat Buchanan, was a keynote speaker. His comment, "The main threat to your ability to live your life as you choose does not come from the government anymore, but it comes from the private sector," received rousing applause. Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) railed against what he termed a "cosmopolitan consensus" that places unquestioning faith in our marketplace. This brought back memories of Trump's frequent campaign rhetoric about the "rigged system."
Mainstream criticism of the event, and of national conservativism in general, came from outlets like the Niskanan Center, a group that openly states that its "main audience is Washington insiders," and online news and opinion site "The Bulwark," which was co-founded by warmongering neocon William Kristol. "The Bulwark" warned that such gatherings were likely to lend "respectability to nationalism's poisonous side." Presumably, these organizations were not comforted by the presence at the event of war hawk extraordinaire John Bolton, currently national security adviser to Trump.
National conservatism originated in Europe and Asia, as a movement concentrating on upholding national and cultural identity. It is widely believed to have influenced the successful Brexit movement in Great Britain. In America, it is considered a direct repudiation to the rugged, Ayn Rand-inspired market fundamentalism of the Paul Ryan and Scott Walker-type Republicans; concerned with not merely the lack of cohesion in American society, but the increasingly bitter cultural divide that could potentially erupt into a second Civil War. Stressing national identity, Hazony explained, "You can't have cohesion over nothing. You have to have cohesion over something shared." Open borders and political correctness on steroids guarantee that there can be no common purpose or shared values within the U.S. population. Issues like transgender bathrooms and after-birth abortion would be extremely polarizing in any culture.
Establishment opposition to the concept of national unity was clearly expressed by the Intelligencer: "Put simply, national conservatism's day has come too late. Their movement's leading thinkers and social base do not want social cohesion for its own sake—they want it on white traditionalist America's own terms. Tucker Carlson and his audience aren't interested in reviving the civic nationalism of Barack Obama but rather in restoring social conservatism's long-forfeited cultural supremacy. And in the 21st-century United States, that latter mission is incompatible with promoting national unity." As the article noted, during the postwar boom, when the American economy was at its peak, 80% of the population were white Christians. That number has dropped precipitously to 43%. Considering the nonwhite, non-Christian nature of most of American immigration now, and the decline of religion in everyday American life, that number is sure to drop even lower.

Sen. Hawley has become national conservatism's most passionate proponent on Capitol Hill and bemoans America's descent into "faction." As Hawley stated in his opening speech to the conference, "The great divide of our time is not between Trump supporters and Trump opponents, or between suburban voters and rural ones, or between Red America and Blue America. No, the great divide of our time is between the political agenda of the leadership elite and the great and broad middle of our society. And to answer the discontent of our time, we must end that divide. We must forge a new consensus."
As National Review put it, "NatCon opposition to ethnicity-based identity politics rejects obvious white nationalism while tacitly endorsing some instances of divisive nativist rhetoric, and that the movement seeks to displace, as Hazony said, neoconservatism, neoliberalism, libertarianism, and classical liberalism."

While all the endless political nattering continues ( and receives the most media attention), the ongoing poisoning of our air, food,and water continues unabated, led by Poisoner-in-Chief Donald Trump. He has appointed people to head the EPA, FDA, USDA, and FCC who have allowed more toxins into our environment. The very basis of human life is food, air, and water, so ANYONE who degrades these is committing massive crimes against humanity.
Apparently, many Earthlings feel that they must poison themselves in order to live.

"America-Firsters". Is that a joke? The conferences was organized by an Israeli orthodox jew who's head of the Herzl Institute, and the other keynote speakers included John Bolton and the Bilderberg degenerate Peter Thiel. This isn't "America First", it's "America First in Line", right after Israel. The American Strain the kosher nationalist scourge that has infected Europe, and ensures that real nationalism, that actually poses a threat to the powers that be, never rises.

How can a legally binding agreement on human cloning be established?
Since Dolly the Sheep was cloned in 1996, the question of whether human reproductive cloning should be banned or pursued has been the subject of international debate. In an attempt to address the issue, the UN formulated a Declaration on Human Cloning in 2005, but this was ambiguously worded and received ambivalent support from UN member states. Now Adèle Langlois of the University of Lincoln, UK, argues that those in pursuit of a robust global governance framework on human cloning will do well to look at recent successes in the areas of climate change and business ethics. The report is published in Springer Nature's open access journal Palgrave Communications.
Langlois' study focuses specifically on official records and first-hand observations at various bioethics meetings to examine the impasse in the human cloning debate currently experienced by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
The UN Declaration on Human Cloning prohibits "all forms of human cloning inasmuch as they are incompatible with human dignity and the protection of human life," but the lack of support it received from some member states and the ambiguous way it can be interpreted galvanised UNESCO to set up a working group in 2008 made up of members of its International Bioethics Committee.
The working group had to investigate the feasibility of a legally binding convention to ban human reproductive cloning. It found that the current lack of clarity in international law is unhelpful for those states yet to formulate national regulations or policies on the topic. Despite this, member states of UNESCO resisted the idea of a convention for several years. This changed in 2015 but, according to Langlois, no practical progress has been made since.
She believes this impasse can be addressed by establishing a robust global governance framework which uses a deliberative format. It should be based on knowledge sharing and feasibility testing rather than the interest-based bargaining that is common to intergovernmental organisations. It should also involve numerous stakeholders. This framework is similar to that which the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, another intergovernmental forum, used to move forward on climate change talks. It also allowed the UN to adopt the Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights in 2011 after years of failing to agree on a set of norms on this topic.
Langlois says human cloning talks should move away from short, formal discussions within committees towards more in-depth information exchanges among a broader range of stakeholders. It needs bottom-up pledges of action and the development of best practice through feasibility studies. This might not result in a decision to begin negotiating a treaty, but could at least give light to a set of resources and commitments that could prove effective in promoting ethical behaviour on the part of states and other actors.
"If there was a more flexible deliberative format, and we were able to mirror successful moves in other global forums, we could move towards a robust governance framework for human cloning, which would see less interest-based bargaining and more buy-in from stakeholders," she adds.

L'anafilaxi és una severa reacció d'hipersensibilitat tipus I aguda multi-sistèmica. que té un començament ràpid i pot causar la mort. Normalment causa més d'un dels següents símptomes/signes: erupció amb picor, inflor de la gola o de la llengua, falta d'aire, vòmits, mareig, pressió arterial baixa. Aquests símptomes solen aparèixer entre minuts i hores. Quan la reacció és tan severa que pot conduir a la mort, parlem d'un xoc anafilàctic, que és un xoc (circulatori).

Les causes més freqüents inclouen al·lergògens introduïts al cos per picades d'insectes, aliments i medicaments. Altres causes inclouen l'exposició al làtex i l'exercici. A més, es poden produir casos sense un motiu obvi. El mecanisme consisteix en l'alliberament de mediadors de certs tipus de leucòcits desencadenats per mecanismes immunològics o no immunològics. El diagnòstic es basa en la presentació de símptomes i signes després de l'exposició a un al·lergen potencial.

El tractament principal de l'anafilaxi és la injecció d'adrenalina en un múscul, administració de líquids intravenosos i el posicionament en decúbit. És possible que siguin necessàries dosis addicionals d'adrenalina. Altres mesures, com ara antihistamínics i glucocorticoides, són complementàries. Es recomana portar un autoinjector d'adrenalina i identificar la malaltia en persones amb antecedents d'anafilaxi.

A tot el món, s'estima que el 0,05-2% de la població experimenta anafilaxi en algun moment de la vida. Les taxes semblen augmentar. Es produeix amb més freqüència en joves i dones. De les persones que van a un hospital amb anafilaxi als Estats Units, sobreviuen aproximadament el 99,7%. El terme prové de les paraules del grec ανα (ana, contra) i φύλαξις (phylaxis, protecció).

Purpose: To present preliminary clinical results of the effects of a new treatment with percutaneous electrolysis directed to peripheral tendon and therapeutic resistance exercise, with or without the presence of degenerative zone. Methods: 3 patients with patellar tendinopathy aged 37–45 years with diagnostic of patellar tendinopathy with pain since 5–8 weeks were treated with a novel, less invasive electrolysis technique. Pain severity was measured by Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS). Lower limb functionality was measured by a Victorian Institute of Sport Assessment questionnaire (VISA-P). A clinical interview and ultrasonography assesment were performed before study protocol were carried out. Each participants received 4 to 7 sessions of percutaneous electrolysis (350 μA, 80 s) leaving at least one week between sessions during a total of 8 weeks. During this time, subjects also were undergone a therapeutic exercise protocol of lower limbs resistance training. Results: Pain severity decreased after 3 weeks treatment (p = 0.01) and was practically abolished after 4–7 sessions at 8 weeks (p = 0.2). The lower limb functionality (VISA-P) increased after 3 weeks treatment and the major difference was found at 8 weeks post-intervention (p = 0.001). Thickness of the patellar tendon decreased after 8 weeks treatment (p = 0.01). Conclusions: The present work provides the first evidence that percutaneous electrolysis with a least invasive physiotherapy treatment targeted to peripheral tendon in combination with therapeutic resistance exercise diminished pain, improved funcitonality and showed a tendency to decreased thickness in subjects with patelallar tendinopathy.
Tendinopathy; Ultrasonography; Percutaneous electrolysis
Patellar tendinopathy is one of the most common injuries among runners [1] . However, there is a great difference in prevalence between different sports (between 14% and 22%) and its frequency is 2 times higher in men than in women. The highest prevalence is found in sports where there is a ballistic load with a high demand on the knee extensor apparatus, suggesting that there is a correlation between an excessive mechanical load on the tendon and the appearance of symptoms [2] .
Considering the available scientific evidence [3] , it is not yet clear whether structural alterations in tendon tissue may have a strong correlation with pain, but does indicate that those alterations are related to a loss of tendon function, increasing the probability of developing a symptomatic picture when the alterations are present [4] .
In recent years, ultrasound has been widely used in the static and dynamic evaluation of abdominal and lumbar soft tissues [5] . In addition, the high reliability and precision that it has shown for objective measurements of oral motor function by measuring masticatory muscle thickness in healthy patients [6] , Rotator Cuff tendon disease [7] , or Achilles or patellar tendinopathies [8, 9] has made it possible that it has progressively replaced the traditional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT).
Moreover, there is literature that also strongly recommends its use not only as an evaluation tool due to its low cost, safety and portability, but also because of the possibility of obtaining quantitative measurements of tissue texture (thickness, cross-sectional areas or perimeters) and as a guide for invasive interventions such as dry needling or percutaneous electrolysis in anatomical regions of high risk due to space conflict [10, 11, 12] .
The therapeutic exercise is one of the most effective conservative treatments in the management of patellar tendinopathy symptomatology [13] . Isometric contractions have shown to be an effective tool to control short-term tendon pain and increase muscle activation in the early stages of treatment [14] . In order to achieve collagen remodeling and improve long-term tendon function, a more demanding exercise involving higher mechanical stress on the tendon, such as eccentric contraction and Heavy Slow Resistance (HSR), is needed [13] . It seems that the active role of the patient triggers neurological adaptations that increase neuromuscular functionality [13] . Therefore, increasing strength and motor control are established as primary objectives to achieve results in treatments.
One of the most innovative techniques today for the treatment of tendinopathies is percutaneous electrolysis due to its powerful effect in reducing pain and increasing functionality, especially in load tendons in the lower limb [15] . There is only a modest scientific evidence demonstrating the effects of electrolysis in reducing pain and increasing function in both lower and upper extremity tendon structures, which is drawing the attention of physicians and physical therapists in both clinical and scientific arenas [16, 17, 18] .
Percutaneous electrolysis is produced when the flow of a galvanic current goes through a sterile needle made of surgical steel (negative electrode). This generates a dissociation of water (H+OH) which leads to an oxidation reaction with the mineral salts of the tissue, producing mostly sodium hydroxide (NaOH) [15, 16, 17, 18, 19] .
The negative electrode is attributed with the capability of liquefaction, membrane permeabilization, and an increase of metabolism and local vascularization. From a molecular point of view, increased concentrations of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGFR) and activated peroxisome proliferator receptor (PPAR), instigators and modulators of regeneration have been found [19] .
One of the possible effects that has been attributed to the technique is the change in pH of the injured area [20] . However, recent publications have emerged rejecting the existence of this mentioned action mechanism, observing that the effect is not statistically significant [21] .
One of the hypotheses currently handled in publications [22] investigating evident clinical effects of electrolysis, is the clearing of algogenic and inflammatory substances that have been found in degeneration tendon areas and its periphery at initial stages of tendon degeneration. In a recent systematic review, Gomez-Chiguano et al. [23] presented results of moderate scientific evidence of electrolysis for the treatment of pain and musculoskeletal dysfunction. For this reason, the aim of our study was to determine the effects of a new treatment with percutaneous electrolysis directed to peripheral tendon, with or without the presence of degenerative zone.
From January to August 2020, at different times, 3 patients were referred for rehabilitation to the ONELIFE pain clinic in Madrid, Spain, after being diagnosed by a physician from traumatology service of the Quirón Sur Hospital, (Madrid, Spain) with local pain at the anterior region of the knee, located at the proximal insertion of the patellar tendon, with at least 5 weeks of evolution.
In all cases prior to the onset of symptoms, participants made a more or less sudden increase in the frequency or intensity of physical activity involving the lower limb, resulting in an increased mechanical stress on the patellar tendon. All patients had previously undergone a treatment program based on dry needling technique and therapeutic exercise (1–2 sessions during 4 weeks from the onset of symptoms), but the evolution of the symptoms worsened in all cases, therefore it was decided to begin a combined treatment of tendon electrolysis and a strength exercise program for the lower limb.
On the first day of rehabilitation program (RP) patients provided informed consent to use their information for publication. The study protocol was approved by the ethical committee of European University of Madrid (reference number CIPI/20/156). All patients received a physiotherapeutic evaluation based on the patient's history, symptoms, palpatory examination and orthopedic tests for patellar tendon dysfunction.
3.2 Examination
Due to the situation in Madrid caused by the SARS-COV-2 virus, the protocol used in the clinic was the following:
(1) Before entering to the center, shoes were disinfected by stepping on a mat soaked in hydrogen peroxide.
(2) Then, the patient was given a temperature measurement with a digital thermometer and hydroalcoholic gel was applied to the hands.
(3) Mandatory use of surgical mask by the patient and FFP2 mask and face shield by the physiotherapist, in addition to a disposable gown.
(4) Verbal recognition of not having symptoms or having been in contact with people suspected of being with the current disease.
(5) During treatment, disinfection of stretcher, chair, ultrasound probe, and gloves.
(6) Safety distance was always maintained except during treatment.
The 3 patients in this case series were evaluated at the beginning of the treatment and at 3 and 8 weeks after the treatments were performed. Information related to each patient's age, relevant history, and main symptoms are shown in Table 1.
Table 1: Baseline information and main relevant sign and symptoms in patients with proximal insertion patellar tendinopathy.

3 M 38 Running Padel 5 Down the stairs Local pain when palpated Yes
Abbreviation: M, male.
All the patients indicated that they had undergone medical treatment with NSAIDs at the beginning of the appearance of the symptoms and only 2 of them reported treatment with injection, one with corticosteroids and the other with type III collagen. A case series study was performed, based on a CARE case report guidelines developed by Equator Network [24] .
3.3 Ultrasonography findings
Three of the patients presented ultrasound images compatible with degenerative tendinopathy at the deep tendon interface in the area closest to the proximal insertion, as shown in Fig. 1A–C.
Figure 1: Ultrasound images compatible with degenerative tendinopathy. (A) In the image we can observe an evident thickening of the patellar tendon in a longitudinal cut. (B) In the image we can appreciate a series of hypo-echoic images and tissue heterogeneity in the inner pole of the patella in a longitudinal cut. (C) In the image we can observe the presence of intratendinous neovascularization in a longitudinal cut. (D) Regional anatomy details.
3.4 Clinical findings
During the physical examination, patients presented pain when palpating the lower pole of the patella, placed on supine with the knee at 20º of flexion. Two provocative tests were performed, the single leg squat and the lateral step down.
Single leg squat: Subject standing, barefoot, starting at 0º of knee flexion, a 45º knee flexion is required. The patient's heel must remain on the floor during the whole exercise. During the test, the patient should report pain using the Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS).
Lateral step down: Subject in standing position with the lower limb to be tested on a step. The opposite leg in suspension. We ask you to perform a knee flexion greater than 60º. During the execution the patient will not modify the position of the pelvis or the lumbar spine. During the execution of the test the patient should reproduce pain on the NPRS scale.
Pain score values were taken according to the NPRS [25] , and the Victorian Institute of Sport Assessment questionnaire (VISA-P) of lower limb functionality translated into Spanish [24] . The VISA-P scale is used to measure painful symptoms as well as the ability and functionality to perform activities of daily living. This scale is a reliable and validated measurement that has specific scales, such as the VISA-P for specific knee affections, and that presents psychometric properties of validity and reliability of 76.1% and 70%, respectively [26] . The maximum possible score which corresponds to an asymptomatic patient is 100 points. Thickness—tendinopathy can cause an increase in tendon thickness, due to a change in the number and type of cells of the tendon tissue, and this event provokes a swelling increase, and consequently an augmented tendon dimensión [27] . Tendon thickness is indeed moderately correlated with pain, for some authors [9, 28, 29, 30] , so it is considered as an indirect measure of treatment outcome [31, 32] . The participants were assessed at the beginning of the treatment, at 3 weeks and at 8 weeks from the beginning of the treatment with electrolysis and strengthening exercise.
3.6 Intervention
3.6.1 Ultrasound-guided invasive physical therapy
In an 8 weeks period of time, from 4 to 7 sessions of percutaneous electrolysis were performed [9] , leaving at least one week between sessions (Table 2).

In all cases the tendon approaches were superficial, on it superficial interface and on it deep interface due to the relationship with the Hoffa fat. The needle insertion area was sterilized with chlorhexidine. Sterile ultrasound gel was then applied to obtain the reference ultrasound image. Ultrasound examination was then performed until a clear cross-sectional image of the destructured area or the area of local pain of the patellar tendon was obtained. Once the image was obtained, using the scale to the left of the ultrasound image, the distance of the superficial and deep interface of the patellar tendon from the probe was calculated. With these reference values, the needle was introduced completely parallel to the probe (in in-plane approach), from the lateral margin of the tendon at the necessary distance to access the superficial or deep interface of the tendon (Figs. 1,2). We use the electromedical device EPTE System, to supply in each approach a galvanic current with 350 μA, during a period of 80 seconds [22] . The technique was ultrasound-guided with a SONOSCAPE E2 ultrasound machine and a 12 MHz linear probe (Figs. 2,3).

We can see a real image of the treatment with electrolysis and how the positive electrode (anode) is located about 10 cm from the negative electrode (cathode). The positive electrode is connected to a self-adhesive patch. The negative electrode is connected to a sterile surgical steel needle 40 mm long, positioned at the deep interface of the patellar tendon.
3.6.2 Therapeutic exercise: dose and timing of exercise
All patients came to the center to learn the exercises and set the doses of the exercises [33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38] . They all performed 3 sets of 15 repetitions with a 90 seconds rest between sets of each exercise in those involving a concentric or eccentric phase [13, 15, 18] of hip clams, single limb bridge on stable surface, pelvic drop, sidelying hip abduction, decline squat exercise, step squat, deadlift and short foot (Fig. 4A–H).
Figure 4: A to H: Exercise protocol performed by patients. The exercises are designed to improve the functional unit of the lower limb. We focused on the hip and foot stabilizers, and specifically the patellar tendon. The selection of the resistance exercise set was based on the available scientific evidence [13, 39, 40] , and the patient must maintain the neutral position during its execution. In addition, the good execution of the exercises was supervised, and the quality of the technique was maintained. The hip clams (A), single limb bridge on stable surface (B), pelvic drop (C) and sidelying hip abduction (D) exercises focus specifically on the gluteal muscles. Decline squat exercise (E) focus on the stability of the foot and step squat exercise (F) as a global exercise works the eccentric control of the knee, the muscular activity of the gluteus and the stability of the foot. Finally, deadlift (G) and short foot (H) exercises we worked on the eccentric activity of the patellar tendon. All patients performed the same exercise protocol and showed pain less than 6/10.
3.7 Study protocol
Physical therapists (n = 2) with a range of clinical experience (10–20 years) performed examinations and provided treatment to all 3 patients. All two of the therapists are board certified in orthopedics and had fellowship training in electrolysis. All two therapists were previously trained and certified in therapeutic exercise.
After 3 weeks, patients were treated with percutaneous electrolysis between 2–4 sessions. After 8 weeks, patients had been treated for a total of 4 to 7 electrolysis sessions (Table 2).
Organized care physical therapy information as chronology is presented in Fig. 5.

Data were analyzed using SPSS package version 25.0 (SPSS Inc, Chicago, IL, USA). Descriptive statistics, including frequency counts for categorical variables and measures of central tendency and dispersion for continuous variables were calculated to summarize the data. Paired samples T-test was used to compare the measurements pre, post-3 and post-8 the NPRS, VISA-P and thickness. For all the data of the study, p values lower than 0.05 were considered significant.
The 3 patients (3 males) in this case series ranged in age from 37 to 45 (mean age 40 years ± 4.35) and reported patellar tendonopathy symptoms ranging from 5 to 8 weeks (mean 6.5 months ± 2.12). The mean NPRS score at initial examination was 6.6 (± 0.57) and the mean VISA-P score at initial examination was 25.6 (± 5.5). The mean thickness score at initial examination was 6.1 (± 1.49). At 3 weeks follow-up, the patients improved by a mean NPRS of 2 points (± 1.41; p = 0.01), VISA-P of 13.14 points (± 9.64; p = 0.003), and to a thickness of 0.03 cm (± 1.49; p = 0.01). At 8 weeks follow-up, the patients improved by a mean NPRS of 5.6 points (± 1; p = 0.22), VISA-P of 41 points (± 7.1; p = 0.001), and to a thickness of 0.14 cm (± 1.47; p = 0.01) (Table 3).

The present work provides novel evidence that percutaneous electrolysis with a less invasive approach targeting the peripheral tendon in combination with therapeutic resistance exercise diminished pain, improved functionality and showed a tendency to decreases thickness in our cases with patellar tendinopathy.
Also, we found that, by means of the ultrasound evaluation it was observed that 3 of the patients presented structural alterations in the proximal insertion of the patellar tendon, in the deepest aspect at the inferior pole of the kneecap. Despite this clinical heterogeneity, there were no significant differences in the type of symptoms presented by the patients.
Our results agree with those of the clinical trial developed by Abat et al. [15] , in which two groups of 30 subjects affected by patellar tendinopathy and treated with an identical eccentric exercise program were compared, but one group was also treated with electrolysis and another with electrotherapy, which showed better results in the VISA-P scale the group treated with electrolysis.
The changes in terms of decreased pain as well as increased functionality become evident long before the improvement in tissue disorganization [17, 22, 35] . These findings align with the controversial evidence widely described in the literature of whether or not the presence of structural alterations are responsible for the appearance of tendon pain [3, 30] .
Therefore, the effectiveness of electrolysis in terms of pain and functionality is due not so much to the structural recovery of the tissue but to an analgesic effect due to the stimulation of the nervous tissue. We know that the periphery of the tendon is a very relevant area in terms of accumulation of algogenic substances and proliferation of both nerve endings and vascular endings [30] . It is possible that the application of galvanic current through the needle may have a modulating effect on pain and vascularization.
The type of approach chosen for treating the patellar tendon by means of electrolysis has been repeatedly used in previous studies with positive results [15, 18] . In our current case, we have sensibly modified the approach used by Abat in which intratendinous and peritendinous approaches were made. For this reason, approaches were made exclusively on the superficial interface and on the deep interface of the tendon. The absence of structural alterations in some of the tendons diagnosed with patellar tendinopathy that come to our attention does not justify, from our point of view, the intra-tendinous approach in which a certain homeostatic alteration is generated [19] . Even in patients with structural damage to the tendon, in most cases it is found in the deepest aspect of the tendon, coinciding with the deep interface of the tendon [41, 42] . There are a number of limitations to this case series. We recognize that the sample size was small (although sufficient to determine significance), in addition to differences in age and composition of men only, and the lack of a control group. The immediate therapeutic response to treatment leads us to believe that it is due to the electrolysis treatment, since the effects of exercise take at least 3 to 6 weeks to be present. The information extracted from the patients of this study comes from the clinical field, therefore it cannot be found in the same way as the information obtained from an experimental study in terms of extracting efficacy conclusions. An additional limitation to this case series is that there was no long-term follow-up of patients after their discharge from physical therapy.
The results of this retrospective case series suggest the combination of percutaneous electrolysis and therapeutic exercise may have the potential to improve pain and disability in individuals with patelar tendinopathy. Conservative management of individuals with patelar tendinopathy pain is often challenging and and the novel treatment exposed in the present work is the least invasive known in invasive physiotherapy to date, being able to prevent patients from having to undergo surgery. The clinical outcomes observed with the first description of a less invasive approach of electrolysis than those presented to date in this case series suggest that further controlled trials of this novel treatment approach are warranted.

Property developer Yoma Strategic Holdings has won approval from the Myanmar Investment Commission for a lease extension that will let it redevelop the former headquarters of the Myanmar Railways Company into a five-star hotel, reports Channel News Asia on March 13.
The approval, obtained after protracted negotiations with the authorities, on March 12, drove shares of Singapore-listed Yoma sharply higher amid heavy volume as investors loaded up on stock.
Yoma closed at the day's high of 44 cents each, a 12.8 percent jump from the previous close, with about 26.5 million shares changing hands, making it the seventh-most-actively-traded stock on Singapore Exchange by volume, according to CNA.
Yoma, through Meeyahta International Hotel, in which it holds an effective interest of 80 percent, and with joint venture partners, plans to develop the entire site - comprising the Grand Meeyahta Hotel and the former railway headquarters built in 1877 - in the heart of downtown Yangon into a mixed-use development, it said in a regulatory filing with Singapore Exchange.
Yoma is run by one of Myanmar's leading businessmen Serge Pun.


'Fraudsters stole £11,878 through my Facebook account - and then the transactions mysteriously vanished'.
Fraudsters can not only glean reams of valuable personal data from what users post on their Facebook pages; if they can actually hack a Facebook account where users have stored their payment details, they can steal substantial sums.
In what could be viewed as a weakness in Facebook's systems, once you use the site to make a purchase you're unlikely to be asked for subsequent authorisation – or be notified by your bank or Facebook.
Jasbir Mann discovered that more than 100 fraudulent payments, adding up to almost £12,000, had been made to an online gambling game using his Facebook account.
Mr Mann, who runs his own yoga studio in Warwickshire, said he kept his debit card details stored on Facebook as he occasionally paid to advertise his business on the social media site.
The adverts usually cost about £30. But between Sept 26 and 28 he was horrified to view 110 transactions, ranging between £21 and £215, made to an online poker game site he had never used.
"Aside from the occasional lottery ticket I don't gamble and do not know how to play poker," he said.
He immediately contacted his bank, Barclays, which cancelled his card and told him to remove his details from Facebook. Facebook began refunding some of the transactions, paying £5,747 of the stolen £11,878 back in 30 tranches on Sept 28.
But then the refunds mysteriously stopped.
Mr Mann, 45, checked his Facebook account and saw – in the "Payments history" section within "Settings" – 110 transactions that matched the fraudulent payments.
He raised a dispute with the social media giant. Moments later the entire history disappeared, he claimed.
Mr Mann said he received a couple of messages from Facebook asking for him to submit further details using the generic link it included. But he said it didn't work.
Mr Mann turned his attention to Barclays and tried to spur it into action.
Here, also, the process was "slow and disjointed", he said.
Mr Mann also questioned why the payments weren't flagged up by Facebook or Barclays as suspicious.
Almost two months after the fraud occurred, Facebook finally refunded the remaining £6,132 to Barclays without explanation, following pressure from Telegraph Money.
Chris Underhill, chief technical officer at Equiniti Cyber Security, warned that fraudster attacks via Facebook are common because the information available is so valuable.
He said: "Your account can be linked to paid-for services such as apps, games and online shopping. And once you've authenticated the payments – depending on how they're set up – you're not asked to reauthenticate them.
"Facebook holds more on you than you think," he added.
He suggested keeping an eye on your access history to see if your account has been logged into from devices that aren't yours.
You can also set up "two factor" authentication, which will send you a code to confirm login attempts.
Facebook has not answered Telegraph Money's questions regarding how Mr Mann's account was accessed, how the fraudsters managed to steal £12,000 and why initially it refunded only some of the cash.
Facebook said it took a "number of precautions" to safeguard users and prevent unauthorised access.
Barclays said the fraudulent transactions were able to go through undetected because Mr Mann had previously given consent to Facebook using his 16-digit card number under the "recurring payments" process.
By providing his card details, he effectively "authorised" future payments, the bank said. These can be for regular or irregular amounts and frequencies.
A Barclays spokesperson said: "This is a rare occurrence of a merchant submitting numerous payments made through a customer's existing authorisation.
How did the fraud occur?
Facebook refused to explain how the fraudsters managed to access Mr Mann's account, but Mr Underhill provided a theoretical explanation.

An Ocean Away

The life-changing call:
On September 9th Duke's phone rang. Expecting one of his four children or his parents, he picked up the call. Instead, he heard the voice of a man he had never met – an oncologist. "I need you to come to the hospital tonight," the doctor told Duke. He broke the news directly, "you have leukemia."
Duke was at the hospital earlier that day being tested to determine the cause of his declining condition. He knew that something was wrong and was actually relieved to learn of the diagnosis and begin working out a treatment plan.
Shortly after arriving at the hospital that evening, Duke underwent additional testing. Within a day, his results were back. He was then faced with an even harder fact to comprehend, a fact that would shake his entire world: without immediate treatment, Duke only had a month to a month and a half to live.
That was six years ago, when Duke was 44. Thanks to a complete stranger, an ocean away, Duke is alive to share his story of faith, good fortune and, above all – survival.
The fight to survive:
Shortly after Duke was diagnosed, he started chemotherapy. Amazingly, after a year of extremely aggressive treatment, Duke was pronounced cancer free; but he wasn't in the clear just yet. His doctors told him they were certain the cancer would come back, and when it did, the disease would be stronger and more aggressive.
Unfortunately less than nine months later, the doctors' prognosis was right. Duke's cancer was back, and this time, he needed more than chemotherapy to survive. "My diagnosis was aggressive, so they knew they were going to have to do something to try and save me. The doctors told me, you aren't going to survive without a marrow transplant," said Duke.
The search for a match began by testing Duke's siblings. When they tested negative, his doctors turned to the Be The Match Registry. That's when Duke won what he would later call his "lottery ticket," – a matched marrow donor. After intensive chemotherapy to prepare his body, Duke received the transplant that saved his life.
The meeting of a lifetime:
Immediately after his transplant, Duke knew he wanted to meet the young man that gave him his life back. "In my mind, I must have painted my donor a million different ways. I had thousands of questions for him," said Duke.
In America, if both parties agree and the transplant center allows, a donor and recipient can meet one another, but must wait one year after transplant. Because Duke's donor was from Germany, the waiting requirement was longer. After two years, Duke was finally able to reach out to the man who, at 27, saved his life by donating Peripheral Blood Stem Cells (one of two methods of marrow donation). Duke offered his donor the opportunity to fly to Colorado so they could meet.
In October, Duke's donor, Marco, did just that. Before he arrived, Duke had so many things he wanted to tell Marco, but most of all he wanted to say thank you. "There is a cascade effect when someone is diagnosed. It cascades to family to friends, to a huge amount of people, not just one. I wanted to make sure Marco knew that what he did affected a lot of people. I wanted my entire family to have the opportunity to give him a big hug and say thank you"
Marco and Duke spent the next 10 days together, getting to know each other and developing a deep bond. "It was definitely a connection we will maintain," said Duke.
The blessings along the way:
When Duke looks back on his experience, he believes God had a plan for him and this faith is what helped him through the entire ordeal. "If everything was perfect, and bad things only happened to bad people, life wouldn't be as brilliant as it is," he said. "Bad things happen to good people too, there is no way around it, this allows us to realize just how fortunate we are."
In addition to recognizing how fortunate he was, Duke learned something else about himself – he is stronger than he ever could have imagined. "You may think you know how you would respond to a life-changing event, but I would argue that you will never really know how strong you are until you are in the foxhole, fighting for your life," he said.
Marco did what he promised, donated marrow to save a life. "At the end of the day, that's what you want. You want everyone to have the chance like I did," said Duke.
Aruni Donated PBSC Despite Concerns of Family and Friends

Many people join Be The Match Registry® in hopes of becoming a match for a family member, friend, or someone in their community. When a member of her community was diagnosed with leukemia in 2009, Aruni did just that. She joined the Be The Match Registry at a registration drive held on his behalf. In the end, Aruni was not a match and the patient that motivated her to join passed away. Through it all, Aruni stuck with her commitment to Be The Match and remained on the registry, hoping she could help someone else.
Members of Be The Match Registry join knowing that they may never be identified as a match for someone, or that they could be one of a number of potential matches. In some cases, members who join may be the only person on the registry who can save a particular patient's life.
Three years after joining the registry, Aruni received news that she was a potential match. "I couldn't believe that I was chosen as a possible match and that I was picked out of everyone on the registry," said Aruni, "It was a really big surprise and I was really happy!" Thinking of her friend who passed away from leukemia, Aruni had no doubts about proceeding with additional testing. "I was a little nervous because I didn't know if I was actually going to be the true match or not," said Aruni.
Aruni was selected as the best match for her recipient and could not have been more thrilled. She immediately told her family and friends that she had matched, but their initial reactions to this exciting news were not as she expected. Aruni's family was worried about her decision to donate because of the misleading information they received from others. They were hesitant about possible side effects Aruni would face, the time it would take away from her work, and her overall health. After hearing their concerns and knowing that she would need their support, Aruni was able to talk to her parents and make them feel more comfortable about her decision by educating them about the steps of donation.
Aruni donated peripheral blood stem cells (PSBC) to a 34-year-old woman fighting acute leukemia. After the donation, she was given an update about her recipient with the amazing news that the donation was successful. Recently, Aruni received an update that her recipient had returned to work and is doing well! Aruni is looking forward to finding out if she can be in contact with her recipient in the future. Until then, Aruni keeps her contact information up to date in hopes that she can be matched again and stays committed to Be The Match® by sharing her story with others.
Sharing your decision to donate marrow with family and friends is very important. If your loved ones have concerns or questions about the donation process please utilize the Donor Toolkit: Sharing your decision with family and friends. This toolkit is designed to help donors answer questions their spouse or partner, parents, children, and friends may have throughout their journey and create positive conversations about moving forward with donation. Be The Match wants you and your support network to be informed and comfortable with your decision to donate marrow.
Donating not once, but twice to give a young boy life

Bhairavi's Story
In 2005, Bhairavi joined the Be The Match Registry® to see if she would be a match for her dear friend who had been diagnosed with leukemia. Like many others who join the registry, Bhairavi was hopeful that she would be a match for her friend. As time passed, she found out she had not matched her friend, whom she called her 11-year-old inspiration. But just three years later, Bhairavi was happy to receive a call from Be The Match®, informing her that she could be the one to help save the life of another young boy.
Getting the Call to Donate
The week Bhairavi received the call, she was finishing her Master's thesis and preparing for finals. On the call, she was told that she was a potential match for a seven-year-old boy with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). With mixed emotions and a fear of the unknown, Bhairavi talked with her friends and family about this life-changing opportunity. After these discussions, she decided to go forward with additional testing to see if she could be this young boy's marrow match.
Much to Bhairavi's surprise, the test results came back and the doctor told her that she was a "perfect" match for this patient. Hearing this information, she thought of the friend who inspired her to join the registry three years earlier, and accepted to donate in honor of him.
The Donation—Feeling the Connection
Just two weeks after her graduation, Bhairavi donated peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC), one of two methods of donation, to a stranger—a little boy in need. Although she received little information about her recipient before the donation, Bhairavi felt connected to him.
Prior to PBSC donation, donors receive injections of a drug called filgrastim. These injections increase the number of blood forming cells in the donor's bloodstream, and are taken for five days leading up to donation. For Bhairavi, these shots were worse than the actual donation. But remembering that the pain was only temporary, Bhairavi was able to keep her head up and move forward with donation.
Meeting her Recipient
A year after the donation, Bhairavi was contacted by her recipient's family asking if she would like to connect*. They chatted via email for more than a year, and later decided to meet in person in Chicago. Two years later, Be The Match contacted Bhairavi again, asking if she would consider donating to her recipient for a second time. Without hesitation, Bhairavi agreed.
The Second Donation
The second PBSC donation was very similar to the first. Bhairavi arrived at the hospital early to prep for the procedure. Today, she describes the second donation as, "not as extensive or as painful" as the first. "I would compare [my experience] to running a marathon," said Bevi. "You don't know if you can keep going, but in the end you are really proud of yourself – It's really rewarding."
Five Years Later – Life After Donation
Today Bhairavi is married and working as a Gerontologist (the study of the biological, psychological, and social aspects of aging). She lights up when telling others of her donation experience, and describes her journey in a very upbeat and positive manner. "The entire experience was life-changing," said Bhairavi, "to know you have saved a life – it changes the way you look at things."
By sharing so much with an individual she had never met before, Bhairavi said it brought her back down to earth. When asked if she would ever donate again in the future, Bhairavi responds whole-heartedly with, "absolutely!"
*A donor and patient may exchange contact information if the patient's transplant center rules allow, it has been at least one year since transplant, and both donor and patient consent.
Ray's Donation Story
Posted July 2nd, 2012 by Be The Match and filed in Donor Stories
Tags: bone marrow donor, leukemia, marrow donor
Ten years after Ray's brother, Dwight donated peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC), Ray was also given the extraordinary opportunity to save a life—but this time for his own son.
The diagnosis and treatment plan
Ray's son, Morgan was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, a fast-growing cancer of the white blood cells, in 2008 at the age of 12 years old. Immediately after he was diagnosed, Morgan was sent to Denver to begin his aggressive treatment.
The approach to Morgan's treatment was to kill the diseased blood cells at the different stages of development. The first stage, induction chemotherapy was intended to bring Morgan into remission. The second stage, consolidation was a second phase of chemotherapy intended to reduce the number of diseased cells in the body. The third and final stage, maintenance was intended to destroy any remaining diseased cells so that the leukemia was eliminated from Morgan's body.
In 2010, Morgan relapsed. "We were told that Morgan would need a bone marrow transplant," said Ray. "Those were doors we never wanted to have to go through." And so began Morgan's search for a match.
The slim chance of a related donor
When patients first begin their search for a donor, they look for a match within their immediate family. In most cases, 70% of patients do not have a suitable match in their family.
In his family, Morgan's best chance for a match was with his brother—a 25% chance. When the results came back that his brother was not a match, Morgan's parents got tested. Parents, because they only provide half of a child's DNA have a slim 5% chance of being a match. Luckily, Ray was determined to be a match, and after further confirmatory blood testing, it was decided—Ray would donate bone marrow to Morgan.
"I was excited," said Ray. "I am a full time firefighter and I'm used to fixing things, but at that moment I knew I could help save my son's life."
Donation day — The day that would change their lives
"The day of the transplant was like a wedding or a college graduation—it was a big day," said Ray. The bone marrow donation itself was fairly uneventful for Ray. He felt a little discomfort from the intubation (insertion of a tube to help the patient breath while under general anesthesia), but it was minimal. Two days after his donation, Ray tried to climb up a flight of stairs and felt a lack of energy. However, after a week or two Ray was back to his old self. Doctors typically suggest that bone marrow donors take it easy the week following donation, because they might feel more tired as well as some slight lower back pain.
Rare connection between brothers
"It's a unique and unusual bond that we have," said Ray about his bond with his brother, Dwight, a peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) donor. "A rare circumstance that we can both claim that we are marrow donors, that we were able to make such a significant difference in someone's life."
Editor's Note: Ray's son, Morgan is currently in remission and just completed his 2 year checkup. Their family should receive his test results in about five months.

Théo Frédéric Gécé (Jemeppe-sur-Sambre, 14 maart 2001) is een Belgisch voetballer die sinds 2021 uitkomt voor RWDM.

Carrière
Gécé is afkomstig van Jemeppe-sur-Sambre. Hij begon zijn jeugdopleiding bij JS Tamines. Op dertienjarige leeftijd verhuisde hij naar de jeugdopleiding van Sporting Charleroi. Daar groeide hij uit tot kapitein van de beloften.

In juni 2021 tekende hij bij RWDM. De club had het grootste deel van het geraamte van zijn typeploeg kunnen behouden, maar desondanks kreeg hij tijdens de voorbereiding geregeld een basisplaats in wat voor de rest een typeploeg van het seizoen daarvoor had kunnen zijn. Op 14 augustus 2021 maakte hij zijn profdebuut: op de openingsspeeldag in Eerste klasse B mocht hij tegen Royal Excel Moeskroen in de 88e minuut invallen voor Mehdi Terki.

Op 7 september 2021, toen Gécé nauwelijks een paar minuten profvoetbal in de benen had, kondigde RWDM aan dat het zijn contract had opengebroken tot 2023. Gécé speelde in zijn debuutseizoen uiteindelijk twintig officiële wedstrijden voor RWDM: naast zeventien wedstrijden in de reguliere competitie en een bekerwedstrijd speelde hij ook mee in de barragewedstrijden naar RFC Seraing, waarin RWDM nipt naast de promotie naar de Jupiler Pro League greep.

Op 28 juni 2022 kondigde RWDM aan dat Gécé een contractverlenging tot 2024 met optie op een extra seizoen had ondertekend.

heres the story set up my fb3 with 100mw green with one of robins drivers and my home made dual red putting out just over 400mw firstly if i set it to display a yellow sine wave its not as bright as it should be as the max drive voltage from the fb3 is only 3.5 volts so lasers not super bright second the sine will start yellow at one end and fade to orangy red the other, i seam to get this with any image with yellow in and it ??
Can you adjust the gain enough on the die4drive so that at 3.5v you get the required current output? If not, maybe robin can suggest changing a component value on the board to allow that.
Not sure what your yellow level is changing. That would indicate either the green is getting dimmer or the red is getting brighter. Is there a slow-start feature on your red that would delay it? I think robins new drivers have some kind of slow start feature. You might want to see if that has anything to do with it.
Edited: Said bias but meant gain.

Weird. Do you have an oscilloscope by any chance? It would tell you what is going on.
Yea, could be a connection problem. Check your wiring, soldering, etc. Also make sure your laser modules are isolated from each other so that you aren't accidently shorting a portion of the signal to ground.
I think you got this problem resolved, right?
By the way, was it you who wrote to me the other day?

Q: How can I filter same field on 2 different values in a relationMapping of Objection.js I have a relation mapping in a Objection.js model and I need to set a filter on a field, but this field must be filtered by 2 possible values null or 0.
This is an example of relation like one i use:
static get relationMappings() {
  return {
    dipendenti: {
      relation: Model.ManyToManyRelation,
      modelClass: path.join(__dirname, '/DestModel'),
      filter: {
        [`field1`]: [null],
      },
      join: {
        from: `fromField`,
        through: {
          modelClass: path.join(__dirname, '/ThroughModel'),
          from: `throughFromField`,
          to: `throughToField`
        },
        to: `toField`
      }
    }
  };
}

I tried these two methods, but neither works:
filter: {
  [`field1`]: [null, 0],
},

filter: {
  [`field1`]: [null],
  [`field1`]: [0],
},

Somebody know the right way for filter a field by 2 values using Objection.js?

A: At the end I used .modifyEager() but this is not the way I that I was looking for
