In recent times we have seen doctors targeted in the wars of primitive brutal dictators across the globe. Even the Covid pandemic has been used by the lowest of the low to strengthen their personal power and wealth. What the dictators and despots in their delusional state call greatness is just the endless repetitive brutality of some ignorant men throughout our appalling and disgraceful human history. These psychopaths in our midst have been the sole cause of human misery either directly by their own actions, - murder, torture and genocide – or through theft of national wealth and the consequent lack of social services and public health – the rights of all men. While it has happened forever, and is the biggest blot on any self-respect that the human race can muster, it does NOT represent all humanity. The equal and opposite also occurs. There are sane and decent, dedicated, hardworking and civilised humans who hold up a mirror to these brutes in our midst and their hired killers who happily do their paid torture, murder and genocide for them. Worse still, at this crucial time in the fight for survival of most species on planet earth, we have these brutes destroying the last food stocks and resources that we should be preserving for ongoing mutual survival. The practice of Medicine is the exact opposite to the path the brutal dictators choose. It is an element of the ascent of man. I have pleaded before for decency and the rights of people and the doctors who heal the array of injuries caused to them. The latest evil is in Myanmar. And it is not just the brutal Military dictatorship. This time I call on China and Russia who are backing this evil regime, for their own gain – to stop bashing and murdering doctors, nurses, children, babies and the gentle, decent people of Myanmar; stop deliberately herding them into jails to catch Covid-19; stop torturing; stop raping women and children. Stop taking other people’s property and land and lives – and that includes genocide of the Uighur Muslims and the Tibetans - as well as oppression of the people of your own countries. Enough is enough. No-one in the world is fooled by staged propaganda videos, rather it is even more sinister behaviour - and they bring no-one back to life. The world has seen far too many evil barbarous men and now in a time we must all work together to survive – we have the worst of the worst, ganging up like schoolyard bullies and bringing shame and disgust on the entire human race – such is the legacy you have created for yourselves. Choose your actions carefully - the universe is watching and waiting.

Febrile malaria and asymptomatic malaria parasitemia substantially decrease iron absorption in single-meal, stable isotope studies in women and children, but to date there is no evidence of decreased efficacy of iron-fortified foods in malaria-endemic regions. Without inadequate malarial surveillance or health care, giving iron supplements to children in areas of high transmission could increase morbidity and mortality. The most likely explanation is the appearance of non-transferrin-bound iron (NTBI) in the plasma. NTBI forms when the rate of iron influx into the plasma exceeds the rate of iron binding to transferrin. Two studies in women have reported substantially increased NTBI with the ingestion of iron supplements. Our studies confirm this, but found no significant increase in NTBI on consumption of iron-fortified food. It seems likely that the malarial parasite in hepatocytes can utilize NTBI, but it cannot do so in infected erythrocytes. NTBI however may increase the sequestration of parasite-infected erythrocytes in capillaries. Bacteremia is common in children with severe malaria and sequestration in villi capillaries could lead to a breaching of the intestinal barrier, allowing the passage of pathogenic bacteria into the systemic circulation. This is especially important as frequent high iron doses increase the number of pathogens in the intestine at the expense of the barrier bacteria.

Ecological Catastrophe

The article takes its cue from Olivier Rey's recent book Une question de taille (a question of size) and develops the idea of humanity ‘losing its measure, or scale’ in the context of contemporary ecological catastrophe. It seems true that the current level of global threats, from climate change to asteroids, has produced a culture of ambient ‘species angst’ living in more or less constant fear about the survival of the ‘human race’, biodiversity, the planet, the solar system. This indeed means that the idea of a cosmos and a cosmology may no longer be an adequate ‘measurement’ for scaling the so far inconceivable, namely a thoroughly postanthropocentric world picture. The question of scale is thus shown to be connected to the necessity of developing a new sense of proportion, an eco-logic that would do justice to both, things human and nonhuman. Through a reading of the recent science fiction film Interstellar, this article aims to illustrate the dilemma and the resulting stalemate between two contemporary ‘alternatives’ that inform the film: does humanity's future lie in self-abandoning or in self-surpassing, in investing in conservation or in exoplanets? The article puts forward a critique of both of these ‘ecologics’ and instead shows how they depend on a dubious attempt by humans to ‘argue themselves out of the picture’, while leaving their anthropocentric premises more or less intact.
