Coffee Drinkers Rejoice!

CRAIN'S COMMENTS

In one of their periodic quizzes to test clinician knowledge, Medscape reinterates that caffeine consumption is associated with a LOWER risk of development of Parkinson’s Disease.

A relationship between increased caffeine intake and lower risk for Parkinson’s disease has been repeatedly confirmed. A more recent study that specifically focused on the effects of caffeine in individuals with a mutation in the leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) gene found that that group in particular may benefit from caffeine-related therapies.

Windle, Medscape

Yes, caffeine as a “therapy.”

Further, coffee consumption benefits patients with chronic liver disease.

A systematic review found that patients with chronic liver disease who consume coffee have a decreased risk for progression to cirrhosis, a lower mortality rate, and a lower rate of hepatocellular carcinoma development.

Medscape

A combination of acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin), acetaminophen, and caffeine is approved in the US as a safe and effective treatment…

Trump loses Supreme Court appeal to shield tax records from NY prosecutor

  • The Supreme Court on Monday rejected a last-ditch bid by former President Donald Trump to keep his financial records, including years of his tax returns, out of the hands of the Manhattan district attorney, Cy Vance Jr.
  • The decision, the second time the nation’s highest court has weighed in on the matter, was announced in an order with no noted dissents. The news further imperils the ex-president, who is facing investigations in New York and elsewhere.

Myanmar citizens continue strong opposition to military junta with ‘22222’ general strike

The strike mobilized the biggest nationwide protest since the February 1 coup

On Monday February 22, thousands joined a general strike across Myanmar organized to express opposition to the military government.

Dubbed “22222” or “Five Twos” in reference to the date (22/2/21), the strike mobilized the biggest protests since the military grabbed power on February 1.

Reports compared the strike action to the nationwide uprising held in defiance of the junta on August 8, 1988 (Four Eights) .

The military staged the coup on February 1 following claims of massive fraud in the 2020 election, a charge disputed both by the ruling National League for Democracy (NLD) and the electoral commission. Parliament members and top NLD officials, including were arrested during the first day of the coup.

Citizens launched a civil disobedience movement in response to the coup. The campaign has gathered support and gained in momentum despite a ban on protests, the intermittent disruption of the internet, and the use of violence by security forces to suppress anti-coup activities.

Monday’s strike reflected the scale of public indignation over the coup, the continuing detention of elected leaders, and the recent shooting of protesters by the police.

Journalist Wa Lone posted an overview of Monday’s events:

Businesses shut in Myanmar on Monday in a general strike called to oppose the military coup and thousands of protesters gathered in towns and cities despite a chilling message from the junta that confrontation would cost more lives.

The “chilling message” pertains to a statement by the authorities demonizing the strike and threatening those who participated, a move that was quickly condemned by a United Nations human rights expert.

A strike participant spoke to Frontier magazine about the workers’ commitment to fighting the military dictatorship:

If we oppose the dictatorship, they might shoot us. Everyone knows it. But we have to oppose dictatorship. It’s our duty. That’s why so many people are coming out today against them.

Many businesses closed operations in anticipation of the strike.

Photos of massive protests in different cities were shared on social media:
