Did you know that your fingernails can tell you something about certain heart and lung diseases? It's called "clubbing".

The fingers become enlarged and the nails turn more curved. It isn't a sign of diagnosis, but if a physician sees clubbing on a patient, it can signal to do further tests to see what is happening internally. Now, something else.

For many men, the left te**is is usually lower than the right. Studies have shown that this condition is normal amongst various types of men, but the exact proportion varies. And that phrase about 70% of the human body being water?

That's an estimate. It can vary between people depending on age, s*x, and body mass. The smallest bone in the human body is the stapes. It is located inside the ear canal and is only a few millimetres long. And, despite it's name, the small intestine is longer than the large intestine. The small intestine is a few metres long in an average human, and the large intestine is only about 1.5 metres. Your belly button is also a scar.

It is the place where the umbilical cord was once attached, and where tissue had to regenerate to close the gap. Here's something else that can be odd.

The phrenic nerve supplies the diaphragm with motor signals, but also sends sensory signals from the area around the shoulder.

This means that irritation of the diaphragm can be mistaken by the brain as pain coming from the shoulder. This is known as referred pain.

There's also this thing called the "danger triangle" of the face. It's a region that resembles a triangle, formed by the corners of the mouth and the bridge of the nose. Infections in this area of the face can, rarely, lead to the infection reaching the cavernous sinus through venous connections and cause serious conditions such as cavernous sinus thrombosis. And please, don't try out the last fact.

Applying pressure to the carotid sinus in the neck can cause a reduction to the heart rate and a lowering of the blood pressure. This can result, in rare circumstances, to dizziness and even fainting.

So, no. Your anatomy is pretty cool without doing things to test it out.

AI context windows have increased exponentially in the last decade, but the paper raises a curious point about the consequences of delegating tasks demanding of attention, retention and synthesis to these systems.

The authors refer to it as the "Cognitive Divergence" within a "Delegation Feedback Loop".

As AIs' natural aptitude for reading, retention and synthesis improves, the threshold for delegating these activities to them will likely decrease, reducing our own practice and proficiency in these areas.

The paper cites the jump in context size from approximately 512 tokens to 2,000,000 and the concomitant decrease from an extrapolated 16,000 human tokens in 2004 to 1,800 at present (the latter being a projection).

The more intriguing question is not whether AI makes humans stupid, which this paper does not demonstrate, but whether the delegation of these tasks erodes our ability to perform them.

As AI's contextual aptitude increases, so too does our willingness to delegate, creating a feedback loop.

The divergence in capabilities, and the consequences of this delegation, warrant further consideration.

A CV can become so cluttered that the actual intellectual direction of the applicant is lost. Stop making the mistake of polishing your CV with all sorts of certificates, especially when not relevant. Admission committees aren't gathering certificates.

Stanford describes their undergraduate admission process as a holistic one that has the academic excellence as its foundation, but looks at the application as a whole.

It should change the way that you prepare your application.

If you would like to study molecular medicine or molecular biology, I would rather see a coherent trail of biology courses, laboratory experience, research, reading, projects or other evidence of genuine interest than a bunch of UNRELATED webinar certificates.

And for research oriented graduate programs, the expected detail can become even more specific. The Stanford's Symbolic Systems MS program, for example, states that the prior research experience and evidence such as research papers or an undergraduate thesis can be important factors in distinguishing the successful applicants.

So instead of asking "How many certificates will make my CV competitive?", ask "If I remove the certificates, what evidence remains that I can actually do the work?

This question will expose your weaknesses rather quickly, and that is exactly why it is useful.

Just how Messi Fans think that Ronaldo fans are unintelligent, that’s how UP partisans think that George Weah supporters are unintelligent.

Interestingly, I am a Ronaldo Fan and a George Weah supporter.

Damn, it just occurred to me that people really think I am dumb. 😭

Can a mother have some of her child's cells inside her body decades after giving birth?

Yes.

During pregnancy, cells can travel across the placental barrier in both directions. These foreign cells have been known to stay in the body for decades.

This phenomenon is called "microchimerism."

It turns out, the cells that travel to the mother are genetically different than hers.

That means women can have a tiny population of foreign cells floating inside them, carrying the DNA of their children.

Scientists have found cells from a fetus in the liver, lungs, and brains of mothers who had given birth, and they have been found to home in on the site of injury, but it remains unknown why that might happen.

So while it is true that a mother's body can have cells from her child in it after giving birth, it's not nearly as impressive as one may think.

In fact, we don't even know what these cells do.

Studies have shown that fetal microchimerism may be responsible for repairing tissues, and other studies have looked at it as a possible cause of autoimmune diseases.

It would be irresponsible to tell someone "Your child's cells are fixing you" based on the evidence.

At this point, while we know that cells from your children can stay in your body after birth, there is no conclusive evidence about what they do.

Also, some cells from the mother can also travel to the baby, and sometimes are retained after birth.

Think about how strange that concept is, that you have cells in your body that came from your mother, and your mother has cells in her body that came from you.

Pregnancy is a strange thing.

Why is it hard to cure HIV? Is HIV curable?

Yes, HIV can be cured; in fact, it has already been done.

A few individuals are naturally immune because their cells lack the surface receptor HIV needs to enter. In famous clinical cases, HIV-positive cancer patients received stem cell transplants from these resistant donors. Once their diseased immune systems were cleared out and rebuilt with donor cells, they went off antiretrovirals and remained completely virus-free.

That is obviously an extreme exception. Stem cell transplants carry high mortality risks, cost a fortune, and require rare genetic matches. It is completely impractical as a widespread clinical solution.

The real problem for the average patient comes down to molecular biology.

HIV is a retrovirus. It uses reverse transcriptase to turn its RNA into DNA, which it then inserts directly into your own chromosomes. It literally becomes part of your genetic code.

With influenza, clearing active replication clears the disease. But with HIV, the virus hides silently inside long-lived memory T cells. The moment you stop taking antiretrovirals, that latent code wakes up and starts replicating again. It behaves just like latent herpesviruses (EBV, CMV, HSV, and chickenpox/shingles): once integrated, your immune system can keep it at bay, but it cannot eradicate it.

We were taught that HIV would always be incurable because latently infected cells look identical to healthy ones from the outside. Neither drugs nor immune cells can spot them.

The real crux of a scalable cure is gene editing. Tools like CRISPR are being developed to enter the cell, locate the integrated viral DNA within the host genome, and cut it out permanently. Eradicating the latent reservoir at the molecular level is how we turn a rare medical anomaly into an engineered reality.
