Despite their differences–or because of them–Dre and Big Boi have succeeded for a decade in loop-de-looping the parameters of rap, and proving to formula-minded labels that the masses really were ready to shake it like a Polaroid. Their last release, 2003’s double CD “Speakerboxxx/ The Love Below”–the first disc all by Big Boi, the second all by Dre–was a sonic freak show that sold 11 million copies. “After every record,” says Dre, “it’s like, ‘Whew!...
All of the Galaxy S22 series phones have a designated group of people they are targeting with unique specs. Personally, I like the mix of size and high-end features of the S22 Plus. But, for a majority of people, I think the least expensive S22 and the top-tier S22 Ultra are the most interesting to consider. I’ll focus on those devices here, along with how they compare with Apple’s iPhone 13 and 13 Pro....
Questions have been raised on how this could be done and what roadblocks may prevent the U.S. from being able to do this, however. Speaking to media outlets last week, Carr explained why he did not believe TikTok should continue to operate in the U.S. “I don’t believe there is a path forward for anything other than a ban,” Carr said according to an Axios report. He also cited recent revelations about how TikTok and ByteDance handles U....
Pain as a Criteria for IBS Diagnosis Technically, to receive a diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), your symptoms must meet specific criteria established by the Rome Foundation. Under the older 2006 Rome III criteria, “persistent abdominal pain or discomfort” was necessary for an IBS diagnosis. This was revised in the 2016 Rome IV criteria which eliminated the word discomfort. Now the criteria only list pain. This was done because the discomfort was too vague, especially when translated into different languages....
However, there’s a growing market for new types of malt that can be used in gluten-free products, and so you can expect to find gluten-free malt in some items, particularly in gluten-free beer. Here’s a rundown of why most malt isn’t gluten-free, and when it’s actually safe for someone with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity to consume malt. What Is Malt?

Sometimes a patient decides to leave the hospital against a doctor’s advice. When this happens, the case is labeled a discharge “against medical advice” (AMA). This label is used in part to protect doctors and the hospital from liability. This is important because it’s possible the patient may become ill or die as a result of the early discharge. This article discusses AMA discharge and its potential risks. It also looks at some of the reasons why patients may want to leave the hospital early, and what you should consider before making this decision....
Winning 4-2 on Tuesday, the Impact held on for a 5-4 victory on aggregate against the Vancouver Whitecaps. They advanced to the Canadian Championship final, where they will meet either Toronto FC or the Ottawa Fury. Once again, it was Bernier, the Impact’s 37-year-old captain, who played a key role for the team. Power Rankings: Galaxy continue climb It wasn’t just Bernier’s superb assist for the decisive fourth goal—skillfully evading two Vancouver defenders before delivering a cross to Anthony Jackson-Hamel, who volleyed under the crossbar — that caught Zambrano’s eye, but the midfielder was also seemingly everywhere on the field, spraying passes, covering ground and breaking up play....
“It’s going to end at some point, so hopefully, if not myself, it’s another Canadian that gets it done this week,” said Weir, one of 19 Canadians in the field for the tournament that starts Thursday at Royal Montreal. “It would be nice to get the streak over so we don’t have to talk about it.” LEADERBOARD: Montreal scores | LPGA: International Crown | British Senior Open | Russian Open...

A small recent Phase 3 clinical trial showed multiple sclerosis (MS) patients had fewer relapses when using a drug originally approved as a treatment for cancers like non-Hodgkin lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia. The study, published in the journal The Lancet Neurology, found that taking the monoclonal antibody rituximab every six months led to better outcomes than leading MS treatment. In addition to preventing future relapses, rituximab would also make MS treatment easier....
Fred Thompson: Although the former senator and “Law & Order” actor has yet to officially throw his hat in the ring for the Republican nomination, he was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma in 2004. Doctors were alerted to the disease after conducting a biopsy on a small lump (approximately 3.5cm by 4cm) in his left jaw. Thompson’s lymphoma was indolent, or slow-growing, making it one of the most treatable forms of cancer, from which patients often have long periods of remission....
Definition Remission of cancer refers to the absence of active disease for a period of at least 1 month. The absence of active disease does not mean that cancer has been cured or even that there are no detectable signs of cancer. There are two types of remission: Complete Remission Complete remission (or undetectable disease) refers to cancer that has no signs or symptoms, and no evidence of cancer can be found on a physical exam by a doctor or through radiological tests such as a CT scan, MRI, or PET scan....
Currently, there are two types of cancer vaccines available: Preventive vaccines can protect you from oncoviruses, or viruses that are strongly linked to cancer, while therapeutic vaccines attack cancer cells. The United States currently has four preventive vaccines and three therapeutic vaccines that are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Preventive Vaccines Preventive vaccines can prevent cancer caused by oncoviruses. The HPV vaccine is one example. It protects against human papillomavirus (HPV), a contagious virus that has been linked to cancers of the cervix, anus, throat, vagina, and penis....
Legal Cannabis for Consumer Safety, an alliance between cannabis growers, manufacturers, retailers, labs and trade associations said it’s eager to make legal vaping more safe and illegal pot shops, which sell vaping additives, less accessible, according to the AP. Last week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported more than 1,800 cases of vaping-related lung injuries along with thirty-seven deaths. While the CDC has yet to figure out what’s causing them, other federal wings are trying to get ahead of a separate but related “national health experiment”: old-fashioned Mary Jane, be it vaped or smoked....
