Theres LuethiThe mystery rise of lung cancer in non-smokersLung cancer doesn't only affect smokers. As the number of smokers is declining, the proportion of lung cancer cases occurring in people who have never smoked is increasing. This type of cancer differs from that of smokers. And female non-smokers are twice as likely to develop it as men who never smoked. So, what causes it?

Conny with a Y :tinoflag:The number of ME patients, those suffering from chronic fatigue and other symptoms, living in Aotearoa may have doubled in recent years, according to ME Society (ANZMES) estimates: "Emerging studies point to a trend where a large subset of people with persisting Long Covid may be developing ME. Overseas estimates suggest a sky-rocketing of new ME cases since the pandemic began, but the picture in Aotearoa is not yet clear and may differ in light of our initially low Covid spread. It’s crucial to remember that Covid hasn’t gone away. New Zealanders are still getting infected each week – wastewater testing last week showed the highest Covid levels all year – and every new infection carries a risk of <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/LongCovid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LongCovid</a>.""The pandemic could only compound the price tag.
