Queen Elizabeth II celebrates 96th birthday with regal new photo – Page Six

Queen Elizabeth II is celebrating her 96th birthday Thursday. To commemorate the occasion, the Royal Windsor Horse Show released a photo of Britain’s longest-reigning monarch wearing a green coat while standing in between two of her beloved Fell ponies, Bybeck Nightingale and Bybeck Katie. The royal family’s Twitter account shared that landscape photographer Henry Dallal took the regal portrait in March on the grounds of Windsor Castle. But the Queen is currently staying at her Sandringham estate. She made the three-hour trip Wednesday for a “private break,” a Buckingham Palace spokesperson revealed.

Ellen Pompeo Says Katherine Heigl Was “100 Percent Right” About ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Long Hours; “Had She Said That Today, She’d Be A Complete Hero” – Deadline

Ellen Pompeo has a new hero; it’s her old co-star Katherine Heigl. On the most recent podcast episode of Tell Me With Ellen Pompeo, the Grey’s Anatomy star had some positive words to say about Heigl and the way she spoke out about the working conditions back in the day on the ABC drama. “I remember Heigl said something on a talk show about the insane hours we were working. She was 100 percent right,” Pompeo said to Kate Walsh, her guest on the podcast. “Had she said that today, she’d be a complete hero. But she [was] ahead of her time. She made a statement about our crazy hours, and of course, let’s slam a woman and call her ungrateful. When the truth is, she’s 100 percent honest and it’s absolutely correct what she said, and she was f*cking ballsy for saying it, and she was te...

Duke health experts concerned about possibility that future COVID variants could evade vaccines – WRAL News

By Maggie Brown, WRAL multiplatform producer Durham, N.C. — While the latest COVID-19 subvariant of omicron, BA.2, is not as severe as previous variants, health experts are still concerned the virus could mutate and evade vaccines. David Montefiori, a viral expert at Duke University, said Thursday that vaccines are holding up well against the latest variants of COVID-19. But that could change as the virus continues to mutate, especially among people who have not received a booster shot. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, half of all eligible Americans have not yet received a booster shot. Research shows that people who were vaccinated several months ago, or have not yet received a booste...

Time-restricted eating no better than counting calories, study finds – CNN

CNN — In a blow to believers in time-restricted eating – a form of intermittent fasting where people only eat during a restricted window during the day – researchers in China have found the method has no significant benefits compared with simple calorie restriction in battling obesity. “Our data suggest that caloric intake restriction explained most of the beneficial effects of a time-restricted eating regimen,” according to researchers at Southern Medical University in Guangzhou, China. “Bottom line, the determinant of weight loss, as well as reductions in body fat, visceral fat, blood pressure, and glucose and lipid levels, is dependent on reducing calorie intake, rega...

Cancer breakthrough as scientists find a treasure trove of genetic clues – Daily Mail

Analysis of thousands of tumours from NHS patients has identified a 'treasure trove' of new clues about the causes of cancer. In the biggest study of its kind, researchers at Cambridge University Hospitals looked at the genomes of more than 12,000 people with cancer in England. They spotted 58 new patterns in their DNA, called mutational signatures, suggesting there are causes that scientists are not yet aware of. The researchers hope the discovery will allow future studies to work out the root of these cancer-causing mutations. Scientists were aware of just 51 mutational signatures before the new find, including changes caused by smoking or UV light. Identifying these signatures also allow doctors to look at each patient's tumour and match it to specific treatments and medications. Howev...
