Cheese belongs to Italy like wine. There are so many kinds of cheese that I won’t be able to cover them all in this series. Still, I’ll introduce at least the most popular ones. Those that even foreigners encounter often, but actually don’t know much about. In this series I will not only introduce Grana Padano, Mozzarella, Stracchino, etc., I will also explain how to serve them, how to cook with them, and what health benefits you can expect.
You don’t like cheese? Let me tell you this story. I didn’t like cheese either. I didn’t eat Pizza; never put cheese on my Spaghetti, and let’s not forget I never ate cheese raw. But it was not possible for me to travel to the zone of Grana Padano and not to taste this awesome cheese. My boyfriend simply wouldn’t allow it. It’s like travelling to Scotland and not to taste their Whisky. You insult people like that! These products are the best they have to offer! They are famous all over the world for them!
And that’s how I had to taste Grana Padano and now I like it better and better every day. After that I also tried other cheeses, like Stracchino and Monzarella. I also started eating Pizza again and gradually I also start to put Cheese on my Pasta. I still don’t always put it, but sometimes it just improves or adds to the taste.
This is the first part of the cheese series. I cannot say how many parts there will be, but once in a while I’ll write a new post about a delicious cheese that I’ve discovered.
Let’s start with one of the most famous Italian cheeses the Grana Padano.
The Grana Padano is more than 1000 years old. The monastery of Chieravalle in Lombardy produced the first hard cheese. Back then, cow milk was very valuable, but it expired after only one or two days. So they were looking for a method to make the milk durable. The monks called the first cheese “Casseus Svetus”; Latin for grained cheese. The farmers who could not speak Latin anymore called it formage di grana.
Thanks to the growing popularity of the Grana Padano, the cheese production spread outside of monasteries. Professions such as the Cassaro emerged. Even today, people consider this profession very prestigious. Only 1951 the Grana Padano received its official name.
Protection of The Name
1954 the Grana Padano Consortium was founded. Its headquarters lie in Martino della Battaglia in the Province of Brescia near Garda Lake. This consortium is in charge of quality controls, prevention of illegal usage of the Grana Padano trademark, marketing, and market research. Only in 1996 the EU protected the name Grana Padano that only factories the zone north of the Po can produce it.
The consortium regulated production process in detail. They check everything from the cows to the selling points regularly. For the production only milk from the Grana Padano zone can be used and it cannot be older than two days. The cows have to be fed with Lucerne, which is one of the highest quality feeding stuff, and bran.
The Production Process
The production process starts off by skimming the milk. The output will be filled into a huge copper cauldron. There it will be heated to 20°C together with the rest whey of the day before. Sometimes lysozyme, an enzyme, is added. This is the base for Grana Padano.
Now the mix heats up to 30-33°C. Another enzyme is added called Rennet that is extracted from the stomachs of calves. The mix starts to thicken and is broken apart with a cheese harp. When the mix reaches 59-56°C the fire is turned off. The grains start to collate on the bottom of the cauldron, where they stay for one hour under the whey.
After one hour the mass is not hotter than at the beginning of the process. When the grains merge to cheese, it’s taken out and cut into two pieces. These are put into Teflon forms, where they stay for 24 hours. Afterwards they pass into steel forms. Like this they receive the traditional form of the Grana Padano.
Now the cheese rests for 2-3 days at 20°C and high humidity. Then the Grana Padano goes into a salt bath, where it remains for up to 30 days. During this time machines turn the cheese regularly. The salt bath sucks out the humidity, enhances the crust development, and ensures the correct saltiness.
How A Grana Padano Should Look Like
The cheese has to age for at least 9 months. But you can also buy 20 months or older cheese. I personally prefer the Grana Padano of 24 months. At this point it has the perfect taste and consistency.
After 9 months the cheese should be 18-25cm high and 35-45cm in diameter. It should weight 37kg and the crust should have 4-8mm. The control of these numbers still effects in the traditional way; through hammer, needle, and tube.
Only when the cheese passes all tests, it receives the diamond-shaped brand that classifies it as Grana Padano. This is not the only test that shows whether the Grana Padano is ready for sale. Also the packaging and the point of sales receive testing. As already mentioned, even the farmers have to adhere to strict quality standards. At any time they have to be able to show the quantity of cows they have, the quantity of milk they produce, how much they feed the cows, whether they adhere to all hygiene standards, and where and at how many degrees the milk is stored.
How To Cut A Grana Padano
As you can imagine, you cannot cut 37kg of hard cheese in a sec. Most likely you will never come into the situation to cut a whole Grana Padano. The selling quantities are much smaller, but if you ever come into the situation, you know what to do. I don’t care! I will still explain to you how you can get the Grana Padano into nice little pieces.
For the traditional way you need to have the right tools. A simple knife won’t suffice no matter how big. You never know how the Grana Padano will break, so you have to take control of the breaking process. You need three kinds of knifes to do this. They are not especially big, but they do the work better than a kitchen knife. You will need a hook-knife, a hard-cheese-knife in the form of a tear, and a spattle-knife.
We start off with the hook-knife. Take it and scratch into the crust, so that you see two half circles on the surface. Continue scratching on the sides of the cheese and on the underside. The line should go once around the body of the cheese.
Now take the hard-cheese-knife. Actually, you need four of them. Stick it into the point of the scratch line, where the surface meets the side. Do the same on the opposite side of the surface. Now take the spittle-knife and stick it into the middle of the scratch line. All three knives should draw a line along the scratching line.
The next step is to take them all out. Be careful to not move them to the side to accidentally break the cheese. When you've removed them all, turn the cheese to the other side and repeat the process. This time we don’t remove the knives, but stick two other hard-cheese-knifes next to the ones already in the cheese.
Press the knives carefully in opposite directions to force the cheese to break. You will see that it broke exactly at the scratch line into two pieces. As each of the pieces still weigh 18.5kg, you can repeat the process until you have nice little quarters of cheese. When cutting these for sale, you need to take care that crust is on every piece.
Nowadays, the dissection of the cheese works a bit different. However, it still effects manually. The factory close to where I live uses a taunt wire. It’s stretched around the cheese and pulled tighter and tighter until the cheese is cut into two pieces. The advantage is that the cut is clean and less pieces break off.
The Taste of Grana Padano
Throughout the aging process the Grana Padano undergoes a profound change. You can note this in the complex panorama of taste. Many people appreciate the Grana Padano because it contributes to the flavor rather than cover it with its own. It can be served as table cheese, or used as granulate over pasta or risotto. In addition, it's suitable for soups, as it melts very fast. It fits to wine, ham, soup, or cheese fondue. So, it’s an all-round cheese.
How To Serve The Differently Aged Grana Padano
More than 16 Months of Age
This Grana Padano has a determined penetrating taste that is in no way aggressive. It’s especially suitable as granulated cheese, but it’s also a great table cheese. We eat it especially in dices for aperitivo, but it’s also very good in salad.
In general, people like to use this cheese for meat and vegetable fillings, salty cakes, and gratins. Besides, it’s also popular for refining pasta dishes, risottos, and soups. You should drink young and fresh wines with this kind of cheese.
More than 20 Months of Age
This Grana Padano is rich of complex and characterful flavors. Its dry consistency makes it perfect as granulated powder and table cheese. You should use it with hearty risottos; serve it on a platter or with balsamic vinegar, honey, or marmalade. This cheese goes best with a strong wine with intensive flavor.
Storage of the Grana Padano
You should put your Grana Padano in that box of the fridge that is least cooled. Most times it is the lowest one. The perfect storage temperature is 4°C. Other cheeses might tarnish the flavor, so don't put it next to them. You should wrap the piece of cheese in a cotton or hemp cloth. We always put it in a piece of paper, which also ensures that the Grana Padano keeps its flavor.
How To Enjoy Grana Padano
To enjoy Grana Padano to its fullest, you should take it one hour before serving out of the fridge. To ensure hygiene you should get at least a hard-cheese-knife, but also a little fork is useful. Break the Grana Padano shortly before serving it into pieces. Like this it doesn’t get dry, nor loses its flavor.
Something that goes well with all hard cheeses is Mostarda. Made of fruits and the essence of mustard cores it resembles marmalade. Yet, it is much more spicy and is a specialty typical of the city of Mantova.
Health Benefits of Grana Padano
Grana Padano is not only super delicious it also has a perfect relationship of calorific value, quality, and quality of nutrients. So it has an especially positive influence on children and teens, pregnant women, athletes, and older people.
Because Grana Padano is made of partly skimmed milk, it has a lower calorific value than other kinds of cheese. Also, more than 30% of the contained fats are non-saturated. 30g of Grana Padano contain the same nutrients than one liter of milk.
It also owns a high amount of minerals, such as iodine, selenium, magnesia, phosphor, and calcium. We need phosphor to strengthen our brain cells, for our teeth and bones. Calcium plays a significant role in the nervous system, muscle traction, and cell permeability. Only 50g of Grana Padano contain 600mg of calcium, which is 60% of what we need every day.
Grana Padano is also rich of vitamin B12. Already 50g Grana Padano contain 75% of what we need daily. Thus, this cheese is especially interesting for vegetarians. But the strongest feature of Grana Padano is that it doesn’t contain lactose. So, lactose intolerant people can consume Grana Padano without worries. I know first-hand that this is true. I have a sister that reacts very strong to lactose, but she never has any problems with Grana Padano.
Of course, Grana Padano enjoys high popularity all over the world. It’s a standard in high-class restaurants and also private people enjoy Grana Padano once in a while; foremost, the Germans. Germany is the export country number one for Grana Padano, but also America, France, Switzerland, and Great Britain enjoy the cheese. In addition, it gains popularity in Asian countries, such as Japan, but also China is catching up on the trend.
I experienced the internationality of Grana Padano. Once I went to the factory, where I always buy the cheese. I was chatting with the factory manager when he got a call from Japan. He had to hand me the phone because he doesn’t speak English.

Mayor Brandon Johnson announced on Sunday that the city will deploy warming buses at designated locations to provide shelter for those seeking asylum. Additionally, the city is collaborating with faith-based leaders to establish emergency staging areas and shelters.
Many of the migrants are currently residing in tents, which may not offer adequate protection against the cold weather.
To alleviate the challenges posed by the approaching winter, volunteers from the Salvation Army distributed 500 care packages at the 1st District Police Station located at 17th and State streets. These packages, provided by Jewel-Osco, contained gift cards, hygiene products, and diapers.
Major Kendall Mathews of the Salvation Army expressed the importance of offering support during this transition.
"We know the weather is getting ready to get cold. And when it gets cold outside, a lot of these folks aren't familiar with the cold weather like we are. So that's going to take some transition. But we'll be here to help them as well."
The care packages were also distributed at two other locations where migrants are currently staying.

How to cite this article: Hong D, Jing Z, Xiangzhou Z, Jusheng G, Yue Z, Yushu Z. Difference of Soil Microbial Populations under Long-Term Different Fertilizer Application and Impact of Herbicide Acetochlor on Them. Agri Res & Tech: Open Access J. 2018; 13(5): 555897. DOI: 10.19080/ARTOAJ.2018.13.555897
Soil microorganism plays an important role in quality and health of soil, long term different fertilizer application patterns would have differential effect on microorganism populations. The experimental results indicated that manure and chemical fertilizer + manure treatments could maintain higher fertility levels and microbial populations than chemical fertilizer and control treatments, increment of soil organic matter is benefit to growth of microorganisms. Application of herbicide acetochlor had no significant positive or negative effects on the populations of soil microorganisms and species, and also did not display inconsistent results among the soils with different fertilizer application patterns.
Fertilizer application is an essential measure to improve crop production in modern agriculture. However, different fertilization patterns have obvious effect on soil property and fertility, and optimum pattern can maintain a high soil fertility level and crop yield . Soil microorganism is one of indicators of soil health and fertility, and long-term fertilizer application experiments indicated that different fertilizers lead to great impact on soil microbial population [2-5]. It is thought that organic fertilizer application has a promoting effect on increasing soil microorganism community.
In the meantime, currently herbicides are commonly applied to control weed in crop systems. Differential toxicity of herbicides in soil may cause changes in microbial community structure and function, and concomitantly influence soil health and ecosystem processes . But, there is a serious lack of information that herbicide application whether has differential effects on microbial population of soils with long-time different fertilizer application treatments so far.
The paddy soils sampled from a long-term fertilizer application experimental site of over 35 years at Qiyang red soil experimental station, Hunan province, China (111°52’32”
E,26°45’12” N). The basic properties of the soil are shown in Table 1.
The herbicide acetochlor is commonly applied in agriculture. The acetochlor used in this experiment is 50% active ingredient emulsifiable concentrate (EC), which was produced by Qingfeng Agro-chemical Co. Ltd. Hangzhou, China.
Our investigation on the influence of different fertilizer treatments and acetochlor application on soil microorganisms was conducted in the laboratory with a 14-day incubation period. Ten mg active ingredient (a.i) kg-1 was applied to paddy soil with four replicates. The fresh soils sampled from the experimental site were placed into a 300mL wide-mouth bottle. Subsequently, soil samples were adjusted to 60% of water holding capacity with double deionized water in which acetochlor could be dissolved. Control soils were also prepared only with double deionized water. All soil samples were incubated at 25 °C, and 10g soil was sampled each time by destructive sampling from each bottle at 3, 7 and 14 days after incubation.
Microbial numbers were determined using conventional methods and calculated. Ten grams of each soil sample incubated was suspended in 90mL sterile water and shaken in a shaker for 30min. Then, these soil suspensions were diluted in 10-fold series.
0.05mL soil suspensions of 10-3 - 10-7 dilutions were used to inoculate in PDA medium, gauserime synthetic agar medium, beef extract peptone medium  and acetamide agar medium respectively, which determined the numbers of fungi, actinomycete, aerobic bacteria and heterotrophic nitrifying bacteria. Each microorganism was cultured with four dilutions and every concentration had four parallel culture dishes. All the dishes were incubated in dark at 2 5 0c. Total number of microorganisms on the agar mediums just need to be counted.
One mL soil suspensions of 10-3 - 10-7 dilutions were used to inoculate tubes containing selective liquid media. Ammonifier were cultured in peptone ammonification medium, nitrosomonas medium reported by Kihn et al. , autotrophic nitrifying bacteria medium described by Lin et al. , and denitrifying bacteria medium followed by Johns et al. . Each microorganism was cultured with four dilutions and every concentration has four parallel tubes. All the tubes were incubated in dark at 25 °C. After incubation, the pattern of positive and negative tubes is noted, and a standardized MPN table was consulted to determine the most probable number of organisms (causing the positive results) per unit volume of the original sample.
All statistical analyses were performed using SPSS19.0 (SPSS for Windows, Version 13.0). The differences of microbial populations among treatments were analyzed using ANOVA, and the differences were considered significant at p<0.05.
The experimental data in Table 2 showed that fungi, bacteria and actinomycetes populations in soils appeared great differences among fertilizer application treatments, their numbers were in order M>NPKM>NPK>CK. Soil organic matter (OM) is benefit to growth of microorganism, the higher soil OM are the higher the populations relatively are (Table 1 & 2). And, chemical fertilizer application also could increase the populations compared to control. The long term mineral fertilizer increases microbial biomass in cropping systems .
Similarly, the numbers of functional microbe (Table 3) included ammonifying bacteria, nitrosomonas, autotrophic nitrifying bacteria, heterotrophic nitrifying bacteria, denitrifying bacteria also showed M>NPKM>NPK>CK, and significantly greater in two manure application treatments (P<0.05), however, have no apparent differences between chemical fertilizer treatment and control.
Microorganisms. However, these researches had drawn different conclusions that the impacts depended on herbicide types [6,13], applied concentrations [14,15], soil types [16,17], and microbial species [18, 19]. The results in Figure 1 & 2 indicated that herbicide acetochlor application has no influence on microbial populations and species in four long term fertilization treatments under this experimental condition.
Soil microbial populations, include fungi, bacteria and actinomycetes, as well as ammonifying bacteria, nitrosomonas, autotrophic nitrifying bacteria, heterotrophic nitrifying bacteria and denitrifying bacteria, showed great variation among long term different fertilizer application treatments, the order of numbers displayed as fellows M>NPKM>NPK>CK. Herbicide acetochlor did not significantly inhibit microbial populations, and also had no differences of responses to soils with long term different fertilizer application.

Amber Tamblyn Tweets: James Woods Hit on Me When I Was 16
James Woods is just digging himself in deeper on Twitter.
Yesterday, September 10, the actor criticized a new movie about a 24-year-old’s relationship with a 17-year-old.
Now Amber Tamblyn says James hit on her when she was underage…
James was tweeting about the movie Call Me By Your Name, in which Armie Hammer plays a 24-year-old academic who falls for a 17-year-old, played by Timothée Chamolet.
The New York Times called the André Aciman novel upon which the film is based “an exceptionally beautiful book,” and now the Los Angeles Times deems the film “a powerfully erotic and affecting love story.”
James, however, retweeted a tweet about Call Me By Your Name and said, “As they quietly chip away the last barriers of decency.”
Armie Hammer, whom you’d recognize from The Social Network or The Lone Ranger, clapped back with a page from James’s own history.
“Did you date a 19-year-old when you were 60?” Armie asked in a reply to James’s tweet.
That’d be 19-year-old Ashley Madison, whom James started dating when he was 59, as E! News reports.
And when James was 66, he started dating Kristen Bauguess.
Then Amber Tamblyn entered the fray — and she has an even ickier story about the two-time Oscar nominee.
“James Woods tried to pick me and my friend up at a restaurant once,” tweeted the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants actress.
“He wanted to take us to Vegas. ‘I’m 16,’ I said. ‘Even better,’ he said.”
Almost exactly two months ago, James enraged Twitter again when he mocked a gender-nonconforming boy.
In that incident, he retweeted a photo a mother named Lori Duron posted of her little guy with at the Orange County Pride Parade in California.
In the photo, Lori is holding a poster that says “I love my gender creative son!”
James, however, had a different take on the display…
“This is sweet,” the 70-year-old actor wrote alongside Lori’s photo.
“Wait until this poor kid grows up, realizes what you've done, and stuffs both of you dismembered into a freezer in the garage.”
This is sweet. Wait until this poor kid grows up, realizes what you've done, and stuffs both of you dismembered into a freezer in the garage pic.twitter.com/1k3ITApFsFJames Woods (@RealJamesWoods) July 10, 2017
At the time, it was another well-known actor — Neil Patrick Harris — who called James out on his views.
“Utterly ignorant and classless, Mr. Woods,” Neil tweeted.
“I’m friends with this family. You know not of what you speak and should be ashamed of yourself.”
James’s tweet has been “liked” 33k times as of the time of this post, though, while Neil’s defense has been “liked” 135k times. (Love wins!)
Of course, James must have a lot of time to think up snarky, arguably intolerant, and perhaps even hypocritical tweets.
According to his IMDb filmography, he hasn’t had an on-screen role since 2014.
Meanwhile, Armie, Amber, and Neil continue to enjoy thriving Hollywood careers…

Recap: 'True Blood' Season 2, Episode 4
We begin with Jason walking into his dorm room at leadership camp only to see the bodies of his fellow campers lying dead and bloody on the floor. He is attacked by a shadowy figure that pushes him down. Surprise! When the lights come on it's just the Lukinator playing a practical joke. The campers laugh but Jason punches the Luke Man in the nose, pulls off his clip-on tie and shouts that "Vampires are not a joke!"
Screaming of a different kind is taking place at Bill's place as Bill pushes an embarrassed and half-naked Hoyt out the door, saying that he is only protecting him from Jessica. Hoyt tells Jessica that he doesn't believe Bill for a second. Good boy, Hoyt! Jessica really likes you. After the confrontation Bill decides to take Jessica to Dallas with him and Sookie. They will employ "two travel coffins, not one." Oh, and those travel coffins are totally rad, space-age looking tubes. (I wouldn't mind traveling that way, especially if Bill were in my coffin.)
Cut to Daphne swimming in her undies with Sam who rambles on about what a paradise Bon Temps is. Um, Sam, have you been living in the same bloody Bon Temps that the rest of us have been watching? Anyway, when Daphne gets out of the water, she isn't at all shy about Sam seeing the giant scratches across her back. He just gulps. Yay paradise!
Later Tara tells Mary Ann of her plans to move in with Sookie immediately. Mary Ann is clearly shaken but acts cool, although she does give herself away a bit when her eyes get that I-am-a-mutant-pig-monster look and she says, "I'm sure you'd do the same for me," to Tara when Tara thanks her for her hospitality.
Back at the world's creepiest leadership camp, Jason and the Lukester are arguing over whether Lazarus was a vampire. Jason says that he thinks Jesus was one because "he told people, 'Hey y'all, drink my blood.' "
"God will make sure evil gets punished," says Luke as Jason is summoned to meet with Steve Newlin. To which Jason replies, "Yeah? Then explain Europe to me." Oh Jason, your stupidity borders on brilliance! I know a lot of you out there are sick of this story line but I could watch Jason Stackhouse do anything and be happy. I could even watch him watch paint dry, that's how much I love him.
Meanwhile, Andy and Bud are at the coroner's office looking at the body of the dead exorcist, which, shocker, has the same scratches that Daphne has and that Sookie had before Bill saved her. Poor, dumb-as-stones Andy keeps talking about the pig that he thinks might have something to do with it all. Bud thinks he's crazy and drunk and takes his badge. But could that pig be Mary Ann? Tara was run off the road by a pig just before Mary Ann took her in....
Back in creepsville, Steve Newlin and Jason shoot pop-up vampires with paint ball guns, and Newlin is awed to discover that Jason has seen a vampire die and admits that he can't wait to see "God's awesome power just obliterate evil right in front of your eyes."
Maybe someone should obliterate Mary Ann, who is busy putting a master plan in effect at Sookie's house in the form of what turns into an incredibly bizarre birthday party for Tara. She invites a bunch of weirdo town folk, throws away the present that Tara's pathetic old mom gives to Sam to bring to the party and sashays her way into the woods where she pulses like an industrial blender until the party is whipped into an obscene froth worthy of Nero. Everyone's eyes turn black, they smear cake and dirt all over themselves, they fight and copulate in public.
Speaking of copulation, Tara and Eggs do just that in a passionate, sweaty trance. Something tells me the result of this power coupling could be worse than Rosemary's baby. Also happening at the party: Sam and Daphne hook up and Daphne admits that she knows Sam's shape-shifting secret. Could she be Mary Ann's handmaiden?
Later, when Sookie arrives in Dallas (drunk on nips that she describes as "booze for dolls"), a driver named Leon is there to pick her up. Turns out he's been hired by the Fellowship of the Sun to abduct her and take her to church headquarters. Silly church! Sookie can read minds and Bill is fast and full of fangs. Leon fails and Bill teaches Jessica to glamor him while he and Sookie check into the hotel.
Around the same time, Jason announces to the camp that he's moving into the Newlins' house to train to become an elite Soldier of the Sun. This seems to be the Bon Temps equivalent of becoming a Hitler Youth. Luke accuses Jason of sleeping with Sarah Newlin and Jason bristles. But the sexual tension between he and Sarah soars skyward as he fantasizes about her licking bottles and spanking herself with a spatula while grilling ribs for dinner.
Perhaps the only redeeming thing that happens in this episode is when Eric appears in Lafayette's window and offers him his 1,000-year-old blood. Lafayette is terribly sick and crippled and his leg is beginning to fester, so when he takes blood from Eric his comeback is remarkable. He dances around, pretends to hump his furniture and shouts with joy. Eric leaves Lafayette when Bill calls and tells him that the church tried to abduct Sookie. In the hotel bar they discuss the importance of the missing vampire Godric.
"If one such as he can be taken by humans, none of us is safe," warns Eric, adding that the vampires would begin to rebel.
"Open aggression against humans?" gasps Bill. "That's insane!"
"That's Texas," replies Eric.
Meanwhile, Jessica has ordered room service in the form of an Abercrombie & Fitch-like model who she can snack on. Sookie is at a loss when she realizes that the bellboy who delivered the model to Jessica is actually reading her mind. They even engage in a brief telepathic conversation, until the bellboy (his name is Barry) freaks out and runs away. Sookie chases him in her bathrobe.

Want to better control the physical symptoms of anxiety and panic? You have more control than you think. Understanding anxiety and cortisol is the key.
Cortisol is a hormone produced and released by your brain in a response to stress. We all have cortisol and we all need it. It helps with things like:
- reducing inflammation
- keeping a healthy sleep/wake cycle
- maintaining good blood pressure
- keeping consistent blood sugar levels
Your level of cortisol is generally higher in the morning and lower in the evening. You have energy during the daytime, and your brain and body calm down for better sleep in the evening.
Cortisol is also your body’s primary stress hormone.
When you encounter a stressful situation (or chronic stress), your body reacts with an automatic fight-or-flight response. This comes from a part of your brain called the amygdala. Your amygdala is a part of your brain that evolved to protect you from literally life-threatening situations, such as being eaten by a sabretooth tiger.
Fight-or-flight is Triggered – Here Comes Cortisol
First, your brain produces a rush of cortisol and adrenaline which gives your body what it needs for an instinctive fight or flight.
Imagine driving on the freeway and a car is about to cut you off. You have an immediate and instinctual response to either hit the brake or veer away or maybe speed up. This happens quite automatically. You don’t pause to think about your alternatives. You just react.
In a fight-or-flight situation like that, it would actually be quite unproductive to use your logical, frontal lobe brain to analyze all the pros and cons of what to do next. There is no time for that.
So, your brain gives you a temporary burst of stress chemicals to give you a moment of what amounts to “brain fog.” This actually happens BY DESIGN. Your rational thinking is temporarily blocked so that you can respond instinctually and immediately.
Thus, one common symptoms of stress and anxiety is brain fog. It’s a thing, and it is actually by design.
What Happens Next?
After you narrowly escape that car accident, you feel physical symptoms like:
- heart racing
- change in breathing (faster and shallow)
- muscle tension especially in neck and shoulders
- hands clenched tightly on the steering wheel.
As cortisol and adrenaline move from your brain into your bloodstream, these physical symptoms are common.
But Now It Happens in Other Situations Too
Through evolution, you and your brain have learned to react to situations that are not actually as dangerous at all. Deadlines, to-do lists, pressure, overwhelm, fear of what others think of us, feeling we have to please others, and not having enough time… Do these ring a bell? All these things cause the very same stress response in your brain and body: anxiety and cortisol.
In our crazy busy world (not to mention two years of a pandemic, a war in Ukraine, and some extreme things happening in the U.S.), many of us are in a constant state of excess anxiety and cortisol and adrenaline.
High Stress means High Cortisol
Cortisol plays a role in anxiety and depression, metabolism, immune system, high blood pressure, heart disease, fatigue, inflammation, blood sugar levels and more. This explains why stress is a contributor to most every health problem. Thus, managing anxiety and cortisol is a critical component of your overall wellness plan.

Tiny Scale Comparisons (Part 2)
First, I decided to take the Fire Mountain Gems (FMG) tiny scales out for a spin. The tiny scales sold by FMG are made in Korea. Since they are so different from the others, I was curious to see what I could do with them.
I like the range of colors available and the soft satin finish of the FMG scales. I also like the smaller size – so adorable. These tiny scales, however, are very thick with very small holes.
The first thing I tried to do was to make basic staggered and linear scale maille weave samples. I was unable to use the usual size jump rings for weaving with these tiny scales. Due to the smaller hole size, I needed to use jump rings in a thinner gauge with a larger inner diameter, sacrificing jump ring strength. I used 22g 1/8″ id jump rings.
I could not weave more than a handful of scales in a staggered fashion without the weave locking up on me (above left). When weaving a basic linear scale chain, I was unable to get past the first 2 scales (above right).
I was able to successfully construct the Shaggy Scales weave with the FMG tiny scales (above), and I was able to accomplish this with the usual 20g 7/64”id jump rings!
In my opinion, these scales are best suited for use as decorative embellishments, much like you would use a bead or a charm.
I have successfully knitted and crocheted with the tiny original scales. I was curious so see if I could knit and crochet with the FMG tiny scales, as the holes are only half the size of the originals.
I was able to crochet using a very thin steel crochet hook (size 8) and cotton thread (above top). I even managed to knit a small swatch using cotton thread and 1.5mm sock needles (above bottom). The knitting was very difficult. The small knit swatch pictured took a couple of hours to make!
Next, I’m going to experiment with the new pink and yellow tiny scales. I’ll present my findings in my next blog post.

Pathologists can be paid for their role in identifying and recruiting patients for basket studies and reporting results of medical laboratory tests
pathologists who biopsy, report, and diagnosis cancer will benefit from a
better understanding of basket
studies and their application in developing cancer treatment therapies. Such
studies can lead to more documentation of the effectiveness of various therapies
for cancers with specific gene
National Library of Clinical Medicine defines basket studies as “a new sort
of clinical studies to identify patients with the same kind of mutations and
treat them with the same drug, irrespective of their specific cancer type. In
basket studies, depending on the mutation types, patients are classified into ‘baskets.’
Targeted therapies that block that mutation are then identified and assigned to
baskets where patients are treated accordingly.”
During a basket study, researchers may find that a drug’s
effectiveness at targeting “a genetic mutation at one site can also treat the
same genetic mutation in cancer in another area of the body,” noted Pharmacy
Times, which also pointed out basket studies are often starting points for
larger oncology trials about drugs.
For example, it was a basket study which found that vemurafenib (marketed as
Zelboraf), intended for treatment of V600E, a mutation of the BRAF gene, may also treat Erdheim-Chester
disease (a rare blood disorder) in patients who have the BRAF V600 gene
mutation, Pharmacy Times reported.
Additionally, the US Food and Drug Administration’s approval
of the cancer drug Vitrakvi (larotrectinib), an oral TRK
inhibitor, marked the first treatment to receive a “tumor-agnostic
indication at time of initial FDA approval,” a Bayer
news release stated. The drug’s efficacy, Pharmacy Times noted, was
found in a “pivotal” basket study.
Basket Studies, a Master Protocol Trial Design
The basket study technique is an example of a master protocol trial design. The FDA defines a master protocol as “a protocol designed with multiple substudies, which may have different objectives and involves coordinated efforts to evaluate one or more investigational drugs in one or more disease subtypes within the overall trial structure. A master protocol may be used to conduct the trial(s) for exploratory purposes or to support a marketing application and can be structured to evaluate, in parallel, different drugs compared to their respective controls or to a single common control.”
Other master protocols include umbrella studies and platform
studies, according to Cancer Therapy Advisor, which noted that each
master protocol trial design has its own unique objectives:
Umbrella studies look at the effectiveness of
multiple drugs on one type of cancer;
Platform trials investigate the effectiveness of
multiple therapies on one disease on an ongoing basis; and
Basket studies focus on the effectiveness of one
therapy on patients with different cancers based on a biomarker.
Final FDA guidance on master protocols design is expected early in 2020, an FDA spokesperson told Cancer Therapy Advisor.
While master protocol studies show promise, they generally
have small sample sizes, noted researchers of a study published in the journal Trials.
And some researchers have ethical concerns about basket studies.
Nevertheless, basket studies appear to hold promise for precision medicine.
Anatomic pathologists may want to follow some of them or find a way to get
involved through identifying clinical laboratory tests and reporting the results.
A team of analysts led by McKinsey senior partner Penny
Dash, MB BS, MSc, looked at nine trends affecting hospitals in North America,
Europe, Asia, and other regions. These trends, the authors contend, will force
hospitals to adopt innovations in how they are structured and how they deliver
Here are nine challenges hospitals face that have
implications for medical laboratories:
1. Aging Patient Populations
“Patient populations are getting older, and their needs are becoming more complex,” McKinsey reports, and this is imposing higher cost burdens. The US Census Bureau projects that by 2030 approximately 20% of the US population will be 65 or older compared with about 15% in 2016.
Clinical advances are increasing the range of treatments that can be performed in outpatient settings, McKinsey reports. The authors point to multiple studies suggesting that patients can receive better outcomes when more care is delivered outside the hospital. Dark Daily has often reported on the impact of this trend, which has reduced demand for in-hospital laboratory testing while increasing opportunities for outpatient services.
4. Move Toward High-Volume Specialist Providers
Compared with general hospitals, specialized, high-volume “centers
of excellence” can deliver better and more cost-effective care in many
specialties, McKinsey suggests. As evidence, the report points to research
published over the past 12 years in specialist journals.
Some US employers are steering patients to top-ranked providers as part of their efforts to reduce healthcare costs. For example, Walmart (NYSE:WMT) pays travel costs for patients to undergo evaluation and treatment at out-of-state hospitals recognized as centers of excellence, which Dark Daily reported on in July.
UnitedHealthcare’s new preferred lab network also appears to be a nod toward this trend. As The Dark Report revealed in April, the insurer has designated seven laboratories to be part of this network. These labs will offer shorter wait times, lower costs, and higher quality of care compared with UnitedHealthcare’s larger network of legacy labs, the insurer says.
5. Impact of Clinical Advances
Better treatments and greater understanding of disease
causes have led to significantly lower mortality rates for many conditions,
McKinsey reports. But the authors add that high costs for new therapies are
forcing payers to contend with questions about whether to fund them.
As Dark Daily has often reported, new genetic therapies often require companion tests to determine whether patients can benefit from the treatments. And these also face scrutiny from payers. For example, in January 2018, Dark Daily reported that some insurers have refused to cover tests associated with larotrectinib (LOXO-101), a new cancer treatment.
6. Impact of Disruptive Digital Technologies
The McKinsey report identifies five ways in which digital
technologies are having an impact on hospitals:
Automation of manual tasks;
More patient interaction with providers;
Real-time management of resources, such as use of hospital beds;
Real-time clinical decision support to enable more consistency and timeliness of care; and
Use of telemedicine applications to enable care for patients in remote locations.
All have potential consequences for medical laboratories, as Dark Daily has reported. For example, telepathology offers opportunities for pathologists to provide remote interpretation of blood tests from a distance.
7. Workforce Challenges
Many countries are contending with shortages of physicians,
nurses, and allied health professionals, McKinsey reports. The authors add that
the situation is likely to get worse in the coming decades because much of the current
healthcare workforce consists of baby boomers.
An investigation published in JAMA in May indicated that, in the US, the number of active pathologists decreased from 15,568 to 12,839 between 2007 and 2017. In January, Dark Daily reported that clinical laboratories are also dealing with a generational shift involving medical technologists and lab managers, as experienced baby boomers who work in clinical laboratories are retiring.
8. Financial Challenges
In the United States and other countries, growth in
healthcare spending will outpace the gross domestic product, the McKinsey
report states, placing pressure on hospitals to operate more efficiently.
9. More Reliance on Quality Metrics
McKinsey cites regulations in Canada, Scandinavia, and the UK that require hospitals to publish quality measurements such as mortality, readmittance, and infection rates. These metrics are sometimes linked to pay-for-performance programs, the report states. In the United States, Medicare regularly uses quality-of-care metrics to determine reimbursement, and as Dark Daily reported in July, a new Humana program for oncology care includes measurements for medical laboratories and anatomic pathology groups.
The McKinsey report reveals that several trends in
healthcare are forcing healthcare leaders to adopt new strategies for success.
The report’s authors state that their “results show that contemporary
healthcare providers around the world are facing several urgent imperatives: to
strengthen clinical quality; increase the delivery of personalized,
patient-centered care; improve the patient experience; and enhance their
efficiency and productivity.”
These pressures on hospitals typically also require
appropriate responses from clinical laboratories and anatomic pathology groups
Clinical labs and pathology groups know how advances in targeted therapies and genomics far outpace providers’ and patients’ ability to know how best to use and pay for them.
One fascinating development on the road to precision medicine is that many new cancer drugs now in clinical trials will require a companion genetic test to identify patients with tumors that will respond to a specific therapeutic drug.
This implies more genetic testing of tumors, a prospect that challenges both the Medicare program and private health insurers because they already struggle to cope with the flood of new genetic tests and molecular diagnostic assays. However, even as this genetic testing wave swamps payers, some pharmaceutical companies have cancer drugs for rare types of cancers and these companies would like to see more genetic testing of tumors.
Pathologists and clinical laboratory managers will find this to be precisely the dilemma facing specialty pharma company Loxo Oncology (NASDAQ:LOXO), a biopharmaceutical company located in San Francisco and Stamford, Conn.
Loxo is developing larotrectinib (LOXO-101), a “selective TRK inhibitor.” According to a Loxo press release, Larotrectinib is “a potent, oral, and selective investigational new drug in clinical development for the treatment of patients with cancers that harbor abnormalities involving the tropomyosin receptor kinases (TRK receptors).” In short, the drug is designed to “directly target TRK, and nothing else, turning off the signaling pathway that allows TRK fusion cancers to grow.”
How to Find Patients for This Cancer Drug
While a powerful, new, targeted cancer drug will be a boon to cancer therapy, it is only intended for a relatively small number of patients. Loxo estimates that between 1,500 and 5,000 cases of cancer are caused by TRK mutations in the United States each year. Conversely, according to the National Cancer Institute, the total number of new cancer diagnoses in the US in 2016 was 1,685,210.
An article in MIT Technology Review on larotrectinib notes, “To find patients, Loxo will need to convince more doctors to order comprehensive tests that screen multiple genes at once, including TRK.” And that is where things get complicated.
“These advanced genetic tests, which can cost $5,000 or more, are offered by companies like Foundation Medicine, Caris Life Sciences, and Cancer Genetics. The problem is, insurers still consider the tests ‘experimental’ and don’t routinely cover them, meaning patients are often stuck picking up the bill,” notes MIT Technology Review.
Data for the graph above comes from theNational Human Genome Research Institute. The graph illustrates the steep decline in cost for whole genome sequencing over the past 17 years. As the cost of genetic testing drops, development of targeted-drug cancer therapies increases. Clinical laboratories and anatomic pathology groups can expect to be performing more such tests in the future. (Graphic copyright: National Human Genome Research Institute/Simple English Wiki.)
To further confuse the market, the National Cancer Institute states that “Insurance coverage of tumor DNA sequencing depends on your insurance provider and the type of cancer you have. Insurance providers typically cover a DNA sequencing test if there is sufficient evidence to support that the test is necessary to guide patient treatment. Tests without sufficient evidence to support their utility may be considered experimental and are likely not covered by insurance.”
That, however, leads to a different conundrum for drug makers such as Loxo: the majority of doctors are not keeping up with the rapid-fire pace of discovery in the realm of genetics and targeted therapies. Some genes like BRCA1 and BRCA2 are familiar enough to doctors that they know how and why they are important. However, most other genes are less known, and critically, less understood by doctors who must also focus on all the other myriad aspects of patient care.
Further complicating the issue, there is an enormous lack of information on how multipanel screenings will affect individuals, public health, and the cost of healthcare in general. Several studies are underway, but they are so new it could be years before any real results become available.
Five years ago, it cost about $20,000 to sequence the whole human genome. Now the average price is $1,500, though there are more and less expensive types of genetic tests. As the cost continues to decline, however, more people will undergo the testing and scientists will learn more about how to identify the best therapy to treat cancers caused by genetic mutations.
