	Quote:	The FDA found the device would automatically extract personally identifiable patient health information when connected to the internet. Data exfiltration of sensitive medical information can lead to widespread identity theft, insurance fraud, extortion, and more sophisticated scams against American patients. CISA also warned the device was programmed to allow unverified users to remotely control the device without a health providers knowledge. This gave malign Chinese actors an opportunity to directly manipulate how the device operates and displays data, potentially leading to dangerous misdiagnoses of heart failure, arrhythmias, and hypertension. On May 14, 2025, FDA issued a Class II recall of the Contee CMS8000.

Aac21-004	Generative AI without guardrails can harm learning: Evidence from high school mathematics
	Quote:	Through a large-scale field experiment in a high school, our study reveals that although AI-based tutoring improves performance during practice sessions, students relying on the technology may underperform when access to AI is subsequently removed, indicating reduced skill acquisition. However, we also find that carefully designed safeguards, especially asking the AI tutor to provide teacher-designed hints instead of giving away answers, can mitigate these negative effects. Our findings highlight the need for thoughtful integration of generative AI in educational settings to ensure that human learning is preserved.

Researchers discovered that declining levels of Menin in the hypothalamus triggered inflammation, memory problems, bone loss, and other aging-related changes in mice. Restoring Menin reversed several of these effects, while a simple amino acid supplement called D-serine boosted cognition. The discovery opens a surprising new path for fighting age-related decline.

Sda213-011	Scientists Are Raising New Questions About Vitamin B12 and Cancer
	Quote:	A 2025 case-control study from Vietnam found what researchers described as a U-shaped relationship between B12 intake and cancer risk, with both lower and higher intakes associated with increased risk. Because this kind of study can show an association but cannot prove cause and effect, the takeaway is not that B12 is dangerous. It is that balance matters.... This effect is thought to involve two main mechanisms. First, tumors can affect the liver, which stores large amounts of B12. When the liver is damaged or under strain, it may release more B12 into the bloodstream. Second, some tumors may increase proteins that bind to B12 in the blood. This can push blood test readings higher without necessarily meaning the bodys cells are receiving or using more B12.

	Quote:	In work published online in ACS Chemical Neuroscience on July 03, 2025, researchers from Shibaura Institute of Technology in Japan created vitamin K analogues designed to be more active in the nervous system. The study was led by Associate Professor Yoshihisa Hirota and Professor Yoshitomo Suhara of the Department of Bioscience and Engineering. Dr. Hirota explains, "The newly synthesized vitamin K analogues demonstrated approximately threefold greater potency in inducing the differentiation of neural progenitor cells into neurons compared to natural vitamin K. Since neuronal loss is a hallmark of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimers disease, these analogues may serve as regenerative agents that help replenish lost neurons and restore brain function."

	Quote:	The best way to handle these bugs, according to Dr Andrew Bamji, a retired Consultant Rheumatologist and former President of the British Society for Rheumatology, is not to try to prevent the problem, but to treat the severe autoimmune overreactions that are the real killers. These reactions are called a "hyperimmune response," or a cytokine storm. Dr. Bamji describes what he calls the "Three Bogey Viruses" thusly: What do all these (viruses) have in common? Three things. Firstly, they are all RNA viruses. This means that they are all prone to mutation. SARS-CoV-2 has been through several identified iterations and is almost certainly derived from an existing and not very toxic strain through gain-of-function research; the recent Hantavirus outbreak (if it can be called that, as it is rather small) is due to the Andean strain, a mutant version of the original Korean version and the recent Ebola epidemic is likewise due to a variant.

With that,. we knew we had to BE respectable, not just act it. Few of us had access to cars. But even back then, using the telephone, I was able to pull together a crowd of well over 20 of my fellow high school students. But unlike these takeovers, I knew who I was calling, many of the students were driven there by their parents who knew what was happening, and a few of the parents chatted with my father. . They came to see me launch a rocket in my parents back yard, I launched several taht day. That started a model rocket club that I was active in for perhaps five or six years, until I left for college.

Those shown by Shirley committing the fraud are now facing charges. At NPR, searching Minnesota Fraud shows no further coverage on the topic since February. CNN had two digital reports, but the broadcast efforts have been rather tepid in delivery. What is evident is that this has been a twofold embarrassment for the news industry.
