WOW
FDA Approves "Soundwaves" To Kill Cancer

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has just given the formal green light to kill liver cancer with soundwaves, but the liver is only the first step.

That's right, folks! The world of medical science is buzzing with this news, and trust us, you'll want to be in the know.

Born from the innovative labs at the University of Michigan, this technique, known as histotripsy, is not just a flash in the pan. It's setting the stage to revolutionize how we tackle cancer. And while the liver is the starting point, the horizon looks vast and promising.

Imagine a world where invasive surgeries, grueling chemotherapy sessions, and taxing radiation treatments take a backseat. Sounds like a dream, doesn't it?

“We want to leverage histotripsy…from a local therapy into one that can treat tumors globally all over the body and eventually into a cure,” explained Zhen Xu, the professor of biomedical engineering who helped invent the histotripsy approach.

Histotripsy is all about harnessing the power of targeted ultrasound waves. These waves create micro magic inside the tumor, leading to some truly astonishing results by triggering even more unexpected benefits.

But how exactly? Well, that's the million-dollar question, and the answers are even more thrilling.

Truck Driver Discovers 2 Tiny Stowaways

Imagine driving cross-country only to discover you've had two tiny stowaways on board the entire time!

A truck driver journeyed from Denver to Lancaster, only to discover she wasn't traveling alone. Hidden in her truck were two tiny, unexpected furry hitchhikers.

The origin of these little adventurers? A raccoon family from Denver!

Upon their discovery, the baby raccoons, now named John and Denver, were whisked away to Raven Ridge Wildlife Center. While worrying about their well-being after such a long journey, a heartwarming revelation emerged.

Tracie Young, a wildlife rehabilitator, was pleasantly surprised by their condition and shared a touching observation- they have an unbreakable bond!

The bond between John and Denver is nothing short of wholesome. Raven Ridge has teased with glimpses of their expressive personalities and the protective nature they share. Anyone with a soft spot for uber-adorable animals would be hard-pressed not to fall in love with these two.

While their journey has been unexpected, the future holds even more surprises for these raccoon siblings. With regulations in place and their well-being at heart, the team at Raven Ridge faces a unique challenge- finding them sanctuary.

Until then, we fully expect an onslaught of more of these adorable pics.

💭 QUOTE OF THE DAY

🗿 ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY…

Did you know that on this day in 1810, the quaint city of Munich through a wedding celebration so extravagant that it’s still a hit over 200 years later? Yes, folks- we’re talking about Oktoberfest!

The lovebirds, King Ludwig I and Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen decided to share their nuptial joy with the common folk. They threw open the gates of the lush meadows right outside Munich, freshly christened as "Theresienwiese" (Therese's Meadow) in honor of the blushing bride. The day was filled with joyous laughter, delicious food, merry traditional dances, games, and horse races that had everyone on the edge of their seats.

Of course, we can’t forget about the beer. The air was so thick with cheer and the hearty clinking of beer steins that we still hear them echoing through the halls of time today. Without anyone realizing it, the seeds for the world-renowned Oktoberfest were sown.

Later On…

1814 - The London Beer Flood occurred when a vat at Meux & Company Brewery burst, flooding city streets with over 300,000 gallons of porter ale and causing eight fatalities.

1888 - Thomas Edison filed his patent for the Optical Phonograph, marking a significant step in the evolution of sound recording and playback technology.

1931 - Notorious gangster Al Capone was found guilty of income tax evasion.

1958 - "An Evening With Fred Astaire" premiered and won nine Emmy Awards, showcasing Fred Astaire's timeless talent.
