Too much sodium is bad, but so is too little — no wonder the body has two sensing mechanisms.

This year, there will be a nova, before or by September, as bright as the North Star.
After peak brightness it will remain bright enough, for several days, to observe with binoculars.
You can help research scientists with observational details.

Spoiler: surgical infections mostly come from patients' own microbiomes (and article is not about covid).
This makes me wonder about people with eczema, which is related to higher-than-usual staph bacteria levels on the skin. Do eczema patients have commensurately higher rates of surgical infections?
I'm curious if any medical or science people here have insight on that.

Scientists Reveal Where Most 'Hospital' Infections Actually Come From : ScienceAlert
Health care providers and patients have traditionally thought that infections patients get while in the hospital are caused by superbugs they're exposed to while they're in a medical facility.The Conversation (ScienceAlert)
#Kortison dämpft das Immunsystem sehr effektiv – aber wie schafft es das?
Ein Team der #CharitéBerlin & der @FAU zeigt jetzt @Nature, dass Kortison den Stoffwechsel von Immunzellen umprogrammiert und so eine körpereigene Entzündungsbremse betätigt. Auf Basis der Erkenntnisse wollen die Forschenden nun nebenwirkungsärmere Entzündungshemmer entwickeln.
