A Palestinian detainee held by Israel without charge or trial said Wednesday that he is ending his nearly six-month hunger strike after reaching an agreement that will see him released in October. Lawyers and physicians had warned that the Khalil Awawdeh, a 40-year-old father of four from the occupied West Bank, was at risk of dying and already suffering neurological damage from the prolonged hunger strike. In a video circulated online Wednesday and apparently shot from his hospital bed, Awawdeh confirmed that an agreement had been reached for his release, calling it a “resounding victory” for the Palestinian people.
The researchers uncovered they had found many fine particles in human cerebrospinal liquids taken from patients who had encountered brain disorders- uncovering a process which might bring about harmful particulate substances winding up in the brain.
Breathing in polluted air could lead to toxic particles being transported from lungs to brain, via the bloodstream, potentially contributing to brain disorders and neurological damage, a new study reveals. 🔬 Breathing Toxic Particles Can Affect Brain, Lead to Neurological Damage, Says Study.
