Inflammation (&Aging): Damage or Defence?

Inflammation is often described as something to "fight" or "reduce," especially in the context of food supplements and wellness products. But inflammation itself is a natural defense mechanism, essential for repairing damage and fighting infection.

So is reducing inflammation always beneficial?

Clinical Research on Hypnosis: Evidence and Applications

* This image is produced by GenAI as Illustration, it may contains irregularities. 

Recently, I came across new research from the University of Zurich that looked at the effects of hypnosis on the brain. I remembered hearing about hypnosis in the past, but I had never followed the subject closely. Like many, I assumed it was something on the edge of science — interesting, but not really part of how we understand the human body or behavior in practical terms. It’s not something you’ll find in a physiology textbook, and it doesn’t fit into the structured way we usually think about biology, medicine, or professional life.

What caught my attention this time was the growing number of clinical studies showing that hypnosis can help with real-world problems — especially sleep, chronic pain, and anxiety. These are not isolated cases. There’s now enough consistent data to suggest that hypnosis has measurable effects, and that it might be underused simply because it doesn’t fit into the usual categories. That’s why I decided to take a closer look and share a few examples of current studies. It’s not about promoting anything — just about understanding a part of human experience that is often overlooked, even when the evidence is right in front of us.

Blockchain in Clinical Trials

Update – May 2025

Since my original post six years ago, many of the ideas and proposed blockchain solutions in Pharma and Healthcare remain largely conceptual. There has been limited visible progress in terms of broad implementation.

One notable development was the FDA’s pilot project under the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA), which aimed to evaluate interoperability of systems for tracing prescription drugs. The final report was published and described the pilot as successful.

However, there is still little publicly available information regarding the cost evaluation of blockchain-based solutions, or the specific technical architectures used (e.g., Web3 identifiers, DAOs, or private blockchain networks).

Project Management Software

• What is a Project Management System or Project Management Software? 
• Is there a common understanding on functionality of such system and if it is needed at all? 
• What systems project managers use for projects?

Project Management System should be one to help Project Managers to manage Projects. The word "project" originally meant "before an action" or plan of something. Projects are defined by PMI as Temporary endeavor (having start and end) to create a unique product, service or result. Project managers are to manage timelines, budget and scope. PMI  defines 5 process groups (from start to end) and 10 knowledge areas.

Project Management Software definition in Wikipedia is vague and open to interpretations:

• Project management software has the capacity to help plan, organize, and manage resource tools and develop resource estimates. Depending on the sophistication of the software, it can manage estimation and planning, scheduling, cost control and budget management, resource allocation, collaboration software, communication, decision-making, quality management and documentation or administration systems. 

Definition of Project Management Information System (PMIS) in Wikipedia is also far from being exact: 

• Project management information system can vary from something as simple as a File system containing Microsoft Excel documents, to a full blown enterprise PMIS software.
• A project management system (PMS) could be a part of a PMIS or sometimes an external tool beside project management information system. PMS is basically an aggregation of the processes, tools, techniques, methodologies, resources, and procedures to manage a project. What a PMIS does is to manage all stakeholders in a project such as the project owner, client, contractors, sub-contractors, in-house staff, workers, managers etc

Wikipedia also proved a list of project manager systems, comparing software not by function but by License, Programming language, if this is web based, on-premises or Saas : Comparison of project management software

Searching for definition of Project Management Software (or System) on google, brings a lot of paid advertisements of tools. Many system offer a free 30 days trial or, as Proggio, can even be free for 1 project and limited number of users.

There is a good collection of Project Management Software @ Capterra with a possibility to benchmark systems by platform, features, client rating etc. Comparison of Celoxis, JIRA, LiquidPlanned and Monday is below as example:

https://www.capterra.com/project-management-software/compare/5923-19319-82678-147657/Celoxis-vs-JIRA-vs-LiquidPlanner-vs-monday-com

There is also Capterra's benchmark as follows:
https://www.capterra.com/sem-compare/project-management-software?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI1Mugy72a4QIVCs53Ch13_gXuEAAYAiAAEgIdYfD_BwE

Despite there are so many systems and tools, the question about Project Management Software and availability of good systems is still open.

Mnemonic

The word "mnemonic" is derived from the Ancient Greek word μνημονικός (mnēmonikos), meaning "of memory, or relating to memory" and is related to Mnemosyne("remembrance"), the name of the goddess of memory in Greek mythology. Both of these words are derived from μνήμη (mnēmē), "remembrance, memory". Mnemonics in antiquity were most often considered in the context of what is today known as the art of memory. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mnemonic

• How to become a memory master | Idriz Zogaj 
• Feats of memory anyone can do | Joshua Foer 
• The Memory Palace Technique 
• This Guy Can Teach You How to Memorize Anything

Women in Science: 100 years back -> 1918

July 23, 1918  - Emmy Noether published her famous theorem that every differentiable symmetry of the action of a physical system has a corresponding conservation law. 

https://www.sciencenews.org/article/emmy-noether-theorem-legacy-physics-math

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQ6o1cDxV7o


1918  - Lina Stern who is best known for her pioneering work on the blood–brain barrier, was the first woman awarded professional rank at the University of Geneva, being a Professor of chemio-physiology, and researching cellular oxidation.

Stern-Gattiker Prize
(https://www.samw.ch/en/Funding/Stern-Gattiker-Prize.html)

In 2018, the SAMS has launched a new prize to recognize women in academic medicine and to motivate early-career female scientists. The prize is named after two women with distinguished medical careers: Lina Stern, who was the first woman to hold a professorship at the Faculty of Medicine in Geneva, and Ruth Gattiker, who was among the first female professors appointed at the Faculty of Medicine in Zurich.



Nadezhda Suslova (11 September 1843 – 20 April 1918) was Russia's first female physician.


Suslova's first  article, Changes in skin sensations under the influence of electrical stimulation, was published in Meditsinskiy Vestnik in 1862. In 1865, after women were officially banned from universities, she moved to Switzerland, partially influenced by the arrest of her siblings and Bokov and her husband for political activities. In Switzerland, she audited medical classes at the University of Zurich for two years, then became an official student when the university was opened to women. She had intended to study obstetrics in Paris for her doctoral research, but instead moved to St. Petersburg. For her dissertation, she researched the muscular reflexes of frogs and their relationship to the function of lymph hearts at Graz Medical University in Sechenov's lab. She graduated in 1867. Suslova was the first Russian woman to be awarded a Doctor of Medicine degree, which was conferred after having to defend her research and education in front of a large audience and the medical school faculty.

Photography + Clouds = Citizen Science

Pictures of clouds are very popular on social networks, Instagram, photo-sharing sites. There are 84 Mio posts with hashtag #clouds on Instagram and 168 Mio pictures with hashtag #sky.  

With NASA Globe and Globe Observer app, Sky photography and Citizen Science can be combined. 

Recording sky and clouds observations is technically simple. There is a minor data entry on high, mid and low level clouds required before pictures of clouds can be taken. Altogether up to 6 pictures can be recorded: North, South, West, East, Up and Down. Once observation is done, measurements and pictures shall be checked and submitted to the NASA server. These can be then publicly visible on the NASA GLOBE Visualization System: https://vis.globe.gov/GLOBE/


Training materials to identify cloud types, step-by-step instructions to record measurements are provided via Globe Observer website (1) and the app (2). Program updates, events, webinars are also published @NASAGO Twitter channel (3).

The GLOBE Program's Mission is to promote the teaching and learning of science, enhance environmental literacy and stewardship, and promote scientific discovery (4). The cloud observations help NASA scientists understand clouds from below (the ground) and above (from space) (5).
