England is set to reopen temporary field hospitals to contain a possible overspill of inpatients due to a surge in coronavirus cases, the national health service said Thursday. Fuelled by the highly contagious Omicron variant, daily cases have ballooned, standing at more than 183,000 on Wednesday. NHS England said it would start building the structures in the grounds of eight hospitals in cities including London, Bristol and Leeds from this week, with each designed to house around 100 extra patients. "Given the high level of Covid-19 infections and increasing hospital admissions, the NHS is now on a war footing," National medical director Stephen Powis said. The extra beds are designed for patients who are recovering from illnesses, including those who no longer have Covid, to free up space and staff to treat large numbers of virus cases.

Case report of 3 cases finds improvement in diabetic foot complications, including neuropathy, in men treated with Testosterone.  This makes sense as the Testosterone will improve insulin function, improve HgbA1c and reduce inflammation in these men.

Case study of 3 patients with Pancreatic cancer treated with IV alpha lipoic acid and LDN therapy.  This is a f/u to a patient treated and still living--case study published in '06.  Only, the abstract is currently available to the general public.  

This case study shows the link between gastrointestinal inflammation and the brain. This case is of a child diagnosed with autism that recovered once a gluten free diet was instituted.

This article reveals how data is massaged to promote a viewpoint. In this case mammograms.  Don't let your passions get the best of you, objectively review the data.  Scientists are not doing that these days. Mammograms do help and are needed in the screening, however, mammograms do cause harm and help to promote the same disease it seeks to detect early.  This is in some cases. Also, remember, mammograms are early detection, not prevention.

case study that showed removal of testosterone secreting adrenal tumor worsened insulin function and contributed to weight gain 9 months post surgery.  This is a case study and far from conclusive.

rat model finds that progesterone effects internal cell enzyme activity.  In this case, progesterone increased PP2A in the cerebellum and in the hyippocampus.  Interesting, that E2 priming decreased the effects on the hippocampus, but not the cerebellum.  This reveals a biochemical link between sex hormones, progesterone in this case, and the brain.  Studies have shown progesterone to be neuroprotective in TBI.  This may be one mechanism.

limited study as it is a case study of 1.  However, there was improvement with libido, erection, and orgasm in this case study of 1 with intranasal oxytocin.

case review of patient with elevated alkaline phosphatase. This case study includes a nice review of bile formation/function.

Only abstract available here.  The authors of the this epidemiologic article estimate that 58,000 cases of breast cancer and 49,000 cases of colorectal cancer can be prevented annually by raising levels to 40-60.  The study also points to a new cancer model that Vitamin D has a positive effect at each step.  The acronym is DINOMIT and this stands for disjunction, initiation, natural selection, overgrowth, metastasis, involution, and transition.

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of conditions caused by medical abnormalities in the development of a fetus or the early life of a child. These lead to damage or delayed development in the brain. The disorder is permanent and, though it does not worsen with age, the level of functionality of a person with cerebral palsy varies widely: in some cases, effects may be very minor, while in others, movement is impaired to the extent that a wheelchair is required. Common complications associated with CP vary by the type of CP disorder but can include vision problems, seizures, learning disabilities, and issues speaking, writing, and performing other tasks. Cerebral palsy causes problems with muscle tone, movement, balance and/or coordination. Symptoms and effects range from mild to severe. In some infants, problems are evident soon after birth. In others, diagnosis comes in later infancy or toddlerhood. Cerebral Palsy Wheelchair Description: The model designed for cerebral palsy child only. Ultra light weight aluminium alloy frame.

case study of elevated liver enzymes induced by antibiotics.

Study reviews the studies of IV vitamin C and cancer.  The authors discuss the mechanism of action of the high dose vitamin C.  The authors are correct in their conclusion that a large body of evidence is lacking and that the majority are case study.  However, to even discount these in the face of the safety and the reduction in side effects associated with chemotherapy by IV vitamin C would be unacceptable. To delay recommendation due to a full lack of understanding would be unacceptable as well.   No deaths have been reported due to IV vitamin C.  Contrast this with chemotherapy.  However, case studies have pointed to IV vitamin C as a positive tool to attach cancer.  

Old case study of IV vitamin C, not high dose, used to treat acute case of hepatitis C.

2 case studies of high dose vitamin C in pancreatic cancer with good results.  The important thing here is the imaging and biomarkers were initiated and followed.  Progressive cancers, like pancreatic cancer, require more frequent dosing of IVC.

Case study design

Good read on creating a case study.

Asking questions that challenge dogma is difficult.  This individual case study just does that.  Case study finds that ketogenic diet, hyperthermic therapy, and hyperbaric oxygen reduce the side effects of chemo, improved quality of life, and at the time of the publication, remission of disease.
