"Live Like You Were Dying" is a song recorded by American #countryMusic singer #TimMcGraw, and was the #leadSingle from his eighth album of the same name (2004). It was written by the songwriting team of #TimNichols and #CraigWiseman. The duo crafted the song based on family and friends who learned of illnesses (#cancers), and how they often had a new perspective on life upon learning that they had limited time remaining.

Asthme, troubles mentaux, AVC: les effets de la pollution de l’air de plus en plus documentés
Les données s’accumulent. La pollution de l’air est à l’origine d’asthme, de maladies cardiovasculaires, de #cancers, mais aussi de troubles psychiatriques. Tandis que des études démontrent les effets positifs sur la santé des zones sans voitures polluantes.
Ce n'est pas en cassant le thermomètre qu'on fait tomber la fièvre !
En 30 ans, les nouveaux cas de cancers ont presque doublé en France.
La prévention est essentielle pour réduire ce chiffre et préserver des vies.
Le Registre du Cancer de l'Isère collecte des données pour comprendre les causes et évaluer les dépistages. Son atlas analyse les disparités géographiques pour mieux protéger la population.
Le Conseil Départemental de l'Isère coupe son financement, menaçant ce travail crucial. Mobilisons-nous pour défendre le Registre et la santé des Isérois !

CAR T-cell #Therapy is a groundbreaking form of #Immunotherapy that has revolutionized the treatment of certain blood #Cancers.
It's a type of immunotherapy that uses a patient's own T cells (a type of white blood cell) to fight cancer.

Scientists believe they have discovered how the cheap painkiller #aspirin can #stop #cancers spreading.
In animal experiments they showed the drug enhanced the ability of the immune system to fight back.
The team at the University of Cambridge said it was an exciting and surprise discovery that could eventually lead to cancer patients being prescribed the drug - but not yet and people are advised against just taking the pills themselves. #auspol #USPol #CancerDrug?

'Forever chemicals' used on Jersey's potato crops
Alex Green - BBC News
February 4, 2025
"So-called #ForeverChemicals are present in at least four #AgriculturalSprays used in Jersey, including one used on #PotatoCrops, the island's environment minister has said.
"In the States Assembly, Deputy Steve Luce was quizzed on what actions, if any, were being implemented to reduce contamination by sprays containing PFAS in the island's water and environment.
"The minister was also asked to provide a timeline for 'achieving measurable progress' in addressing the issue.
"Luce said his initial discussions with the industry were focused on finding an alternative and stopping the use of such sprays 'as soon as possible'.
Health issues
"PFAS, used in #FirefightingFoam, leaked into the area by the airport's fire training ground in the early 1990s.
"The chemicals, branded forever chemicals because they take a long time to break down, are found in a small quantity in most people's blood, and research is ongoing to determine if higher levels can lead to various health problems.
"After the foam was confirmed to be in #DrinkingWater in 1993, the island's government and the #airport, which it owns, stopped the use of the foam and offered to install new bore holes for affected residents.
"People living in the area believe the #ContaminatedWater damaged crops and caused a litany of ongoing serious health issues.
"The PFAS Scientific Advisory Panel, which makes recommendations, was set up by Public Health in May 2023.
"Members met islanders who participated in the blood-testing programme and, in a draft report, recommended therapeutic phlebotomy for those affected.
"Therapeutic phlebotomy is a procedure that involves removing some blood from the body to lower the concentration of PFAS.
"In September 2024, the advisory panel published a report outlining the impact PFAS exposure had on health.
"The panel found exposure to certain PFAS was associated with #ElevatedCholesterol levels, and said there was evidence suggesting a probable increase in kidney and testicular #cancers among those exposed to certain PFAS materials."

Not the first time #Israel has used #DepletedUranium on civilian populations...
From 2015: VP/HR — Gaza Strip and bombs with depleted uranium
March 3, 2015
"There is now enough convincing data to prove that Israel has repeatedly used depleted uranium [#DU] weaponry. Such was the case in the large-scale massacre that took place in the #GazaStrip in August 2014.
"These weapons cause #cancers and #foetal malformations in the populations affected, which may take on epidemic proportions. In #Iraq, in the city of #Fallujah, where these bombs were launched in industrial quantities by the International Coalition led by the# UnitedStates, 52% of children today are born with #deformities.
"The lethal effects of #radioactivity caused by explosions and subsequent fires, including cancer of the lungs and pleura, can persist for centuries in the #environment and particularly in #aquifers. We are therefore on the verge of another humanitarian catastrophe in #Palestine and in particular in the #Gaza Strip, where thousands of tons of depleted uranium bombs were dropped with the effects that have already been documented.
"In view of this situation, what is the Vice-President/High Representative thinking of doing to pressure Israel into assuming its responsibilities for this crime against humanity, and what help can the Vice-President/High Representative offer to the Palestinian authorities to carry out epidemiological monitoring, which also includes all EU citizens who have moved to the territory since then?"
