FW: The breakthroughs that could save our lives - BBC News
by Dejan Ristanovic 22 Jan '19

22 Jan '19

https://www.bbc.com/news/health-46597605 The breakthroughs that could save our lives By James Gallagher Health and science correspondent, BBC News It has been a remarkable year of promise in medical science - from reversing blindness and paralysis to progress in cancer and infertility. First gene-edited babies, probably. <https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/320/cpsprodpb/14562/production/_104489238_get…> Getty Images A scientist in China caused the biggest stir in science for years when he claimed to have made the world's first gene-edited babies. The twin girls are apparently healthy. Embryos were produced through IVF. Then Prof He Jiankui claims he altered the babies' DNA (the blueprint for building their bodies) to protect them from HIV. But no details of the procedure have been published, so the claims have been treated with a dose of scepticism. And the announcement provoked huge ethical debate about whether the procedure should have been performed. * <https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0001bqd> We discussed the claims and the ethics in depth on BBC Radio 4's Inside Science * <https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-china-46368731> He Jiankui defends 'world's first gene-edited babies' _____ >From paralysis to walking <https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/images/ic/720x405/p06m4m43.jpg> Kelly Thomas learned to walk again after doctors attached an electrical patch to her spinal cord Two groups of scientists have helped paralysed people walk again by stimulating their spinal cords with electricity. A spinal cord injury - such as through a car crash or sporting injury - stops instructions from the brain reaching the muscles, causing paralysis. The implants help those lost signals reach their destination. The techniques remain experimental - but in one case the patient is using the device at home in her day-to-day life. In the other, there is evidence of the damaged nerves in the spinal cord starting to regrow. <https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/images/ic/720x405/p06qhchc.jpg> 'I always dreamed of walking again' * <https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-45628498> Electrical implant helps paralysed people to walk again * <https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-46043924> Spinal implant helps three paralysed men walk again _____ 90 billion cancer-killers <https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/320/cpsprodpb/13387/production/_101872787_jud…> Judy Perkins Judy Perkins's life was saved by a pioneering new therapy for her terminal breast cancer. She had tennis-ball-sized tumours in her liver and secondary cancers throughout her body and was given three months to live. Then doctors at the US National Cancer Institute tried an experimental living drug. Judy's tumour was genetically analysed to identify the rare changes that might make it visible to the immune system. Out of the 62 genetic abnormalities found, only four were potential lines of attack. Next, researchers went hunting. A patient's immune system will already be attacking the tumour, it's just losing the fight between white blood cells and cancer. The scientists screened her white blood cells and extracted those capable of attacking the cancer. These were grown in huge quantities in the laboratory and about 90 billion were injected back into her. Other work in the field of cancer immunotherapy won the Nobel Prize for medicine this year. * <https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-44338276> 'Remarkable' therapy beats terminal breast cancer * <https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-45704322> Nobel prize for medicine goes to cancer therapy _____ New womb, new baby <https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/320/cpsprodpb/D3F6/production/_104626245_medi…> Reuters The medical team hold the baby For the first time, a healthy baby was born using a womb transplanted from a dead person. Previous attempts had failed and some thought it would be impossible. The mother, 32, was born without a womb due to Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome. The donor had three children and died from bleeding on the brain. The procedure took place in São Paulo, Brazil. <https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/images/ic/720x405/p06trd70.jpg> "Using deceased donor organs is a viable option", a uterus transplant surgeon tells World at One About six weeks later, she started having periods. After seven months, fertilised eggs were implanted. And, after a normal pregnancy, a 6lb baby girl was delivered by Caesarean section. * <https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-46438396> First baby born after deceased womb transplant _____ Sight restored <https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/320/cpsprodpb/021A/production/_100483500_doug…> Moorfields Douglas Waters, 86, could not see out of his right eye but "I can now read the newspaper" with it, he says. Doctors have taken a major step towards curing the most common form of blindness in the UK - age-related macular degeneration. The macula is the part of the eye that allows you to see straight ahead - whether to recognise faces, watch TV or read a book. The macula is made up of rods and cones that sense light and behind those are a layer of nourishing cells. When this support layer fails, it causes macular degeneration and blindness. Scientists devised a way of building a layer of support cells by growing them into a "living patch" just one layer of cells thick. It was then delicately inserted into the back of the eye. * <https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-43458365> Macular degeneration: 'I've been given my sight back' _____ Growing human eggs <https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/images/ic/720x405/p05xlq5c.jpg> 'It could be of huge benefit to children having cancer treatment' A team at the University of Edinburgh has grown human eggs in the laboratory for the first time. Women are born with immature eggs in their ovaries that can develop fully only after puberty. It has taken decades of work but scientists can now grow eggs to maturity outside of the ovary. It requires carefully controlling laboratory conditions, including oxygen levels, hormones, proteins that simulate growth and the medium in which the eggs are cultured. The technique could lead to new ways of preserving the fertility of children having cancer treatment. It also provides an opportunity to explore how human eggs develop, much of which remains a mystery to science. * <https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-42976858> First human eggs grown in laboratory _____ A test for all cancer? <https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/images/ic/720x405/p05vfxk7.jpg> Cancer blood test shows promise but more research is needed, says Prof Richard Marais Scientists have taken a step towards one of the biggest goals in medicine - a universal blood test for cancer. A team at Johns Hopkins University has trialled a method that detects eight common forms of the disease. Tumours release tiny traces of their mutated DNA and proteins they make into the bloodstream. The CancerSeek test looks for mutations in 16 genes that regularly arise in cancer and eight proteins that are often released. It was tested on 1,005 patients with cancers in the ovary, liver, stomach, pancreas, oesophagus, colon, lung or breast that had not yet spread to other tissues. Overall, the test found 70% of the cancers. The vision is an annual test designed to catch cancer early and save lives. * <https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-42736764> Cancer blood test ‘enormously exciting’ _____ Microbes are the hidden half of our bodies <https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/320/cpsprodpb/BECB/production/_100734884_2.jpg> The immense importance of microbes on our health continues to explored. This year, the most common type of cancer in children was pinned on our modern germ-free lives. Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia affects one in 2,000 children. Prof Mel Greaves, from the Institute of Cancer Research, amassed 30 years of evidence to show the immune system could become cancerous if it did not "see" enough bugs early in life. This study is absolutely not about blaming parents for being too hygienic. Rather, it shows there is a price being paid for the progress we are making in society and medicine in areas such as clean water. The long-term goal is to give children a safe cocktail of bacteria - such as in a yoghurt drink - that will help train their immune system. * <https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-44199844> Missing microbes 'cause' childhood cancer * <https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-43674270> More than half your body is not human * <https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-43728319> Good bacteria: Why I put my poo in the post * <https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-43785523> Does vaginal seeding boost health? * <https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-43815369> Why a faecal transplant could save your life * <https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-43815370> How bacteria are changing your mood The artificial intelligence will see you now <https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/320/cpsprodpb/12967/production/_102653167_img…> Elaine Manna had her sight saved at Moorfields Eye Hospital in east London A computer trained to interpret pictures of the back of the eye did as well at diagnosing more than 50 eye diseases as leading experts.

FW: [Klub] Extreme sound recording
by Dejan Ristanovic 20 Jan '19

Možda... To Save the Sound of a Stradivarius, a Whole City Must Keep Quiet By Max Paradiso * Jan. 17, 2019 CREMONA, Italy — Florencia Rastelli was mortified. As an expert barista, she had never spilled a single cup of coffee, she said. But last Monday, as she wiped the counter at Chiave di Bacco, the cafe where she works, she knocked over a glass and it shattered loudly on the floor. The customers all stood still, petrified, Ms. Rastelli recalled. “I was like: Of all days, this one,” she said. “Even a police officer popped in and asked me to keep it down. I was so embarrassed.” The people of Cremona are unusually sensitive to noise right now. The police have cordoned off streets in the usually bustling city center and traffic has been diverted. During a recent news conference, the city’s mayor, Gianluca Galimberti, implored Cremona’s citizens to avoid any sudden and unnecessary sounds. Cremona is home to the workshops of some of the world’s finest instrument makers, including Antonio Stradivari, who in the 17th and 18th centuries produced some of the finest violins and cellos ever made. The city is getting behind an ambitious project to digitally record the sounds of the Stradivarius instruments for posterity, as well as others by Amati and Guarneri del Gesù, two other famous Cremona craftsmen. And that means being quiet. Fausto Cacciatori, the curator of Cremona’s Museo del Violino, a museum devoted to musical instruments that is assisting with the project, said that each Stradivarius had “its own personality.” But, he added, their distinctive sounds “will inevitably change,” and could even be lost within just a few decades. “It’s part of their life cycle,” Mr. Cacciatori said. “We preserve and restore them, but after they reach a certain age, they become too fragile to be played and they ‘go to sleep,’ so to speak.” So that future generations won’t miss out on hearing the instruments, three sound engineers are producing the “Stradivarius Sound Bank” — a database storing all the possible tones that four instruments selected from the Museo del Violino’s collection can produce. One of the engineers, Mattia Bersani, said that the sounds in the database could be manipulated with software to produce new recordings when the tone of the original instruments degraded. Musicians of the future would be able to “record a sonata with an instrument that will no longer function,” he said. “This will allow my grandchildren to hear what a Strad sounded like,” said Leonardo Tedeschi, a former D.J. who came up with the idea for the project. “We are making immortal the finest instrument ever crafted.” Throughout January, four musicians playing two violins, a viola and a cello will work through hundreds of scales and arpeggios, using different techniques with their bows, or plucking the strings. Thirty-two ultrasensitive microphones set up in the museum’s auditorium will capture the sounds. “It’ll be physically and mentally challenging for them,” said Thomas Koritke, a sound engineer from Hamburg, Germany, who is leading the project. “They’ll have to play hundreds of thousands of individual notes and transitions for eight hours a day, six days a week, for more than a month.” Organizing the project had also taken a long time, Mr. Koritke added. “It took us a few years to convince the museum to let us use 500-year-old stringed instruments,” he said. Then they had to find top musicians who knew the instruments inside out. Then the acoustics of the auditorium, which was designed around the sound of the instruments, had to be studied, as well. In 2017, the engineers thought their project was finally ready to get underway. But a soundcheck revealed a major flaw. “The streets around the auditorium are all made of cobblestone, an auditory nightmare,” Mr. Tedeschi said. The sound of a car engine, or a woman walking in high heels, produces vibrations that run underground and reverberate in the microphones, making the recording worthless, he explained. “It was either shutting down the entire area or having the project not seeing the light of day,” Mr. Tedeschi said. Luckily for the engineers, Cremona’s mayor is also the president of the Stradivarius Foundation, the municipal body that owns the Museo del Violino. He allowed the streets around the museum to be closed for five weeks, and appealed to people in the city to keep it down. “We are the only city in the world that preserves both the instruments and their voices,” Mr. Galimberti said. “This is an extraordinary project that looks at the future, and I’m sure people from Cremona will understand that closing the area was inevitable.” On Jan. 7, the police cordoned off the streets. The auditorium’s ventilation and elevators were turned off. Every light bulb in the concert hall was unscrewed to eliminate a faint buzzing sound. Upstairs in the museum, Mr. Cacciatori put on a pair of velvet gloves and took a 1615 Amati viola from its glass display case. He inspected it thoroughly, and then a security guard escorted him and the instrument down two flight of stairs to the auditorium. The curator handed the instrument to Wim Janssen, a Dutch viola player, who walked to the center of the stage. He sat on a chair in the semidarkness under a cluster of microphones. The three engineers left the hall, and took their seats in a soundproofed room beneath the hall filled with speakers and computer screens, servers and cables. “Go,” Mr. Koritke whispered. The violist played a C-major scale as the recording team watched graphs on their screens responding to the crisp sound of the instrument. Mr. Tedeschi grinned in satisfaction. Then it happened, and they froze. “Stop for a moment, please,” Mr. Koritke said, and the violist held his position. The engineers rewound the recording, and played it again. Mr. Koritke heard the problem, loud and clear: “Who dropped a glass on the floor?”

FW: .gov security falters during U.S. shutdown | Netcraft
by Dejan Ristanovic 20 Jan '19

Da se ne čudimo kad je kod nas nekom zvaničnom sajtu istekao sertifikat... https://news.netcraft.com/archives/2019/01/10/gov-security-falters-during-u… .gov security falters during U.S. shutdown Dozens of U.S. government websites have been rendered either insecure or inaccessible during the ongoing U.S. federal shutdown. These sites include sensitive government payment portals and remote access services, affecting the likes of NASA, the U.S. Department of Justice, and the Court of Appeals. <https://news.netcraft.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/uscourtofappeals.png> The DigiCert certificate used by this U.S. Court of Appeals website expired on 5 January 2019 and has not yet been renewed. The site provides links to a document filing system and PACER (Public Access to Court Electronic Records). With around 400,000 federal employees currently furloughed, more than 80 TLS certificates used by .gov websites have so far expired without being renewed. To compound the situation, some of these abandoned websites can no longer be accessed due to strict security measures that were implemented long before the shutdown started. One such example is <https://ows2.usdoj.gov> https://ows2.usdoj.gov, a U.S. Department of Justice website which uses a certificate that expired in the week leading up the shutdown. The certificate has been signed by a trusted certificate authority, GoDaddy, but it has not been renewed since it expired on 17 December 2018. <https://news.netcraft.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/usdoj.png> All U.S. Department of Justice subdomains are covered by an HSTS policy. Combined with an expired TLS certificate, this currently makes it difficult for regular users to ignore the warnings and use the website. In a twist of fate, the usdoj.gov <http://usdoj.gov> domain — and all of its subdomains — are included in <https://cs.chromium.org/codesearch/f/chromium/src/net/http/transport_securi…> Chromium's HSTS preload list. This is a prudent security measure which forces modern browsers to only use secure, encrypted protocols when accessing the U.S. DoJ websites; however, it will also prevent users from visiting the HTTPS sites when an expired certificate is encountered. In these cases, modern browsers like Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox deliberately hide the advanced option that would let the user bypass the warning and continue through to the site. While this behaviour is bound to frustrate some users, in this case, security is arguably better than usability when you can't have both. If users were to ignore such warnings, they would be vulnerable to the type of man-in-the-middle attacks that TLS certificates were intended to combat. However, only a few of the affected .gov sites implement <https://news.netcraft.com/archives/2016/03/17/95-of-https-servers-vulnerabl…> correctly-functioning HSTS policies. Just a handful of the sites appear in the HSTS preload list, and only a small proportion of the rest attempt to set a policy via the Strict-Transport-Security HTTP header – but the latter policies will not be obeyed when they are served alongside an expired certificate, and so will only be effective if the user has already visited the sites before. Consequently, most of the affected sites will display an interstitial security warning that the user will be able to bypass. This introduces some realistic security concerns, as task-oriented users are more likely to ignore these security warnings, and will therefore render themselves vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks. For example, <https://rockettest.nasa.gov/> https://rockettest.nasa.gov/ is not included in the HSTS preload list, and its certificate expired on 5 January 2019. This causes browsers to display an interstitial security warning that users can ignore. <https://news.netcraft.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/rockettest.png> This NASA website is still using an expired certificate, but the domain does not appear on the HSTS preload list. Users can therefore ignore the browser's warnings and proceed to the site. The following example clearly demonstrates the potential dangers of ignoring browser security warnings. The certificate used by this Berkeley Lab .gov website at <https://d2l.lbl.gov> https://d2l.lbl.gov expired on 8 January 2019 (although Berkeley Lab was not affected by the shutdown) and has not yet been replaced. As there is no effective HSTS policy, users can ignore the browser's warnings and proceed to the login form. <https://news.netcraft.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/lbl-login.png> Encouraging users to ignore browser warnings could make them more susceptible to man-in-the-middle attacks. In this example, clicking next to the browser's address bar will explicitly advise the user not to enter any sensitive information, such as passwords – but anyone who really needs to use the site may foolishly end up doing so anyway. With Donald Trump seemingly unwilling to compromise on his demands for <https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1081535102461579264> a wall along the border with Mexico, and Democrats refusing to approve a budget containing $5.7bn for the wall, the hundreds of thousands of unpaid federal employees might not be the only ones hurting. As more and more certificates used by government websites inevitably expire over the following days, weeks — or maybe even months — there could be some realistic opportunities to undermine the security of all U.S. citizens.
