Only 14% of diagnosed cancers in the US are detected by screening, report says
A small proportion – 14.1% – of all diagnosed cancers in the United States are detected by screening with a recommended screening test, according to a new report.
The remaining diagnosed cancers tend to be found when someone has symptoms or seeks imaging or medical care for other reasons, suggests the report, posted online Wednesday by researchers at the nonprofit research organization NORC at the University of Chicago.
“I was shocked that only 14% of cancers were detected by screening. I think, for many people, we talk so much about cancer screening that we imagine that that’s how all cancers are diagnosed. We talk about mammograms and colonoscopies all the time,” said Caroline Pearson, an author of the report and senior vice president at the organization.

Leia o poema a seguir:
Meu Deus, que estais pendente em um madeiro
Meu Deus, que estais pendente em um madeiro,
Em cuja lei protesto de viver,
Em cuja santa lei hei de morrer
Animoso, constante, firme e inteiro.
Neste lance, por ser o derradeiro,
Pois vejo a minha vida anoitecer,
É, meu Jesus, a hora de se ver
A brandura de um Pai manso Cordeiro.
Mui grande é vosso amor, e meu delito,
Porém, pode ter fim todo o pecar,
E não o vosso amor que é infinito.
Esta razão me obriga a confiar,
Que por mais que pequei, neste conflito
Espero em vosso amor de me salvar.

Ancient giant sea turtle with never-beforeseen features found in Europe, scientists say
Long ago, gigantic marine turtles swam the Earth’s seas. Until recently, these prehistoric giants, reaching lengths of over 3 meters (10 feet) from head to tail, had been thought to be found only in waters surrounding North America.
Now, scientists have discovered a previously unknown species — the largest sea turtle found in present-day Europe ever to be identified.

World’s heaviest flying bird uses plants to self-medicate, scientists say
Taking drugs if you’re feeling under the weather is old news for humans, but new research shows that the world’s heaviest bird capable of flight could be the latest animal to use plants as a form of medication.
Researchers from Madrid in Spain studied data on 619 droppings belonging to great bustards and discovered that the two species of plants that were eaten more than other foods in their diet had “antiparasitic effects.”
“Here we show that great bustards prefer to eat plants with chemical compounds with antiparasitic effects,” Luis M. Bautista-Sopelana, a scientist at Madrid’s National Museum of Natural Sciences and lead author, said in a news release Wednesday.
Found in parts of Europe, Africa and Asia, great bustards are listed as vulnerable on the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Red List of Threatened Species, with around 70% of the world’s population living in the Iberian peninsula, according to the release.
