The dogs trained to spot cancer- BBC News

Published

on



Trials in the UK are currently assessing if dogs could be used to detect prostate cancer at an early stage. One study shows that specially trained dogs can pick up the presence of such cancer in urine samples in 93% of cases. Politician Iain Duncan Smith’s wife Betsy was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2009, and became involved with the charity Medical Detection Dogs.
In an exclusive film for the Victoria Derbyshire programme, he says he wants to see it rolled out across the UK’s health service.

    We reliably use dogs all the time for police matters, why wouldn't we use them more commonly for this? It would take an obscene amount of both time and money to develop something that could replicate a dog's sense. I have recently started working in cancer research and will be keeping tabs on this

    I knew about dogs being able to do this. I didn't think I could be even more amazed. I stand corrected. I didn't know that the dogs could detect the problem from another floor in the house, or from the sidelines of a football pitch.

    As to the reluctance to accept dogs to do this job. Just tell them that there is a mobile lab available. You don't have to add that the lab is a Labrador Retriever.

    Animals are amazing and a dogs sense of smell is truly impressive. I had a pain in my breast and my sisters dog completely buried her nose into my chest and kept sniffing that one very specific spot. Freaked me out because I know what a dogs senses are capable of detecting.

    In 2008 I was awakened by my Rottweiler pawing at my chest and whining. She looked so distressed that I went to find a mirror and check myself over but didn't see anything unusual. However the next day when I checked my breasts I found a lump.The surgeon was amazed that I'd found it at all as it was so 'subtle' she had a hard time finding it. I had surgery to remove the tumour and subsequent treatment and am now in excellent health. If it hadn't been for my dog alerting me so strongly that something was amiss I might not have found it until it was too late.
    I had to have her put to sleep while I was undergoing chemo because the discs in her neck ruptured and paralyzed her. We were so close, that was as bad as getting the cancer diagnosis. Everyday I miss her and thank her for saving me while she could.

    Muhammad the Prophet of Islam, hated dogs and proclaimed them to be evil. In fact he outlawed dogs in villages and had them all killed. This is absolutely true do your research.

    Brilliant! Dogs are amazing animals and truly are a person's devoted best friend. We should couple this with immune system modifier treatments that destroy cancer without surgery. A person has to be absolutely determined to be prescribed it yet it works perfectly

    What is wrong with some of you people?

    This is a report about how people, who have a serious illness, can be helped and there are people, who have nothing better to do, then spew filth against BBC, feminists and liberals?
    How about, instead of being a lousy excuse of a human being, you go out and try something useful like Dr. Guest and the other people in this piece? It may even make your life more satisfying as a really nice side effect.

    Dogs who haven't been trained but sniff out owners cancers must know the cancer is malignant and harming their owner.

US hits ‘dozens’ of Iranian sites in strikes, as Iran targets US bases in region | BBC News

Published

on



The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.

“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.

In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

Trump demands 20% toll on cargos passing through strait of Hormuz | BBC News

Published

on



President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.

He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.

Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.

Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.

The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.

Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.

President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.
