What Is The Difference Between Paracetamol (Acetaminophen) And Ibuprofen?

A Reddit user recently asked the question "what is the difference between taking paracetamol and Ibuprofen?"‚ revealing that a large number of other users also didn't know the difference. While both are taken to relieve pain‚ paracetamol (known as acetaminophen in the USA‚ or the brand name Tylenol) and ibuprofen work quite differently.Paracetamol‚ one of the most commonly used pain relief medications‚ can also reduce fever by affecting an area of the brain that regulates body temperature. The exact mechanism by which paracetamol reduces pain remains a bit of a mystery‚ but scientists think it reduces the intensity of pain signals to the brain by inhibiting cyclooxygenase enzymes. The paracetamol metabolite AM404 is also thought to have a role in paracetamol's pain-relieving properties.The drug is sometimes used in conjunction with others."Paracetamol has been assessed in different conditions and demonstrated therapeutic efficacy on both acute and chronic pain‚" a review of paracetamol as pain for musculoskeletal pain conditions relief explains. "It is active as a single agent and is additive or synergistic with NSAIDs [nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs] and opioids‚ improving their efficacy and safety."Ibuprofen‚ meanwhile‚ is an NSAID. This drug can help relieve fever‚ pain‚ and inflammation. It also works on cyclooxygenase and inhibits the body's ability to produce prostaglandins‚ which are produced at the point of tissue damage or infection and control inflammation among other processes.As well as for everyday‚ short-term pain‚ ibuprofen is used to manage and treat inflammatory diseases and rheumatoid disorders.Both medications are widely used for the short-term treatment of pain‚ as well as longer-term when recommended by a doctor‚ as well as for reducing fever. Ibuprofen may be more effective as pain relief where inflammation is involved. Both also have their downsides‚ warnings‚ and potential side effects.All “explainer” articles are confirmed by fact checkers to be correct at time of publishing.

Voyager 1 Sends Back Repeating Patterns Of 1s And 0s From Interstellar Space

Voyager 1 Sends Back Repeating Patterns Of 1s And 0s From Interstellar Space

Voyager 1 is the second-longest operating spacecraft in human history‚ losing out only to Voyager 2 which launched a few weeks earlier in 1977.*The spacecraft has traveled further than any human-made object‚ crossing the heliopause and heading into interstellar space. While doing this‚ it has continued to send back useful data to Earth‚ helping us learn about the space between stars outside of our own Solar System. All this‚ while working with just 69.63 kilobytes of memory‚ about the size of an average JPEG‚ and running partly on code written in archaic computer language Fortran 5.With such a mission‚ you'd expect the occasional challenge‚ even before you take into account the high radiation environment it is heading through. And glitches most definitely have occurred‚ including mysterious telemetry data that was sent back last year‚ likely the result of the data passing through an old onboard computer which had not been functional for years. That was fixed in August 2022‚ but now there is a new problem‚ and it's a frustrating one. "The spacecraft is receiving and executing commands sent from Earth; however‚ the [flight data system] is not communicating properly with one of the probe’s subsystems‚ called the telecommunications unit (TMU)‚" NASA explained in a statement. "As a result‚ no science or engineering data is being sent back to Earth."Instead of sending back the usual varied data packages in binary code‚ the TMU has begun "transmitting a repeating pattern of ones and zeros as if it were 'stuck'." NASA believes the source of the problem is the flight data system‚ and last weekend attempted to reset the computer to the state it was in before the error occurred. However‚ the spacecraft has continued to send unusable data. The team will continue to work on solutions‚ before the painstaking 45-hour wait to find out if it worked."Finding solutions to challenges the probes encounter often entails consulting original‚ decades-old documents written by engineers who didn’t anticipate the issues that are arising today‚" NASA added. "As a result‚ it takes time for the team to understand how a new command will affect the spacecraft’s operations in order to avoid unintended consequences."*The answer to your inevitable question of "why was Voyager 2 launched first" is that Voyager 1 was on a faster route to its planetary targets‚ and so was given the honor of the 1.

New Brown Dwarf Spotted By JWST Is Tiniest

New Brown Dwarf Spotted By JWST Is Tiniest "Failed Star" Ever Discovered

Astronomers have announced the discovery of the smallest brown dwarf yet‚ an object weighing just three to four times the mass of Jupiter. Truly an incredible lightweight in the category of objects often referred to as failed stars. Brown dwarfs are not massive enough to start nuclear fusion at their core‚ and this object is even smaller than certain planets. This is the smallest known object to form in a star-like manner.Stars form from collapsing clouds of gas. Stellar nurseries are vast clouds of gas and overdensities in them turn into stellar objects. Gravity takes over‚ and they clump into an object where nuclear processes produce some sort of heat and internal pressure. Stars then go nuclear‚ while brown dwarfs remain cooler and less active. Just how small you can get them has been a matter of debate.“One basic question you’ll find in every astronomy textbook is‚ what are the smallest stars? That’s what we’re trying to answer‚” lead author Kevin Luhman of Pennsylvania State University said in a statement.Star cluster IC 348 in the Perseus star-forming region was a perfect place to hunt for small brown dwarfs. The region is young‚ just 5 million years old. This means that the brown dwarfs will still be shining in infrared from the heat of their formations. The team used JWST and found three very interesting targets all less than eight times the mass of Jupiter.IC 348 and the three tiny brown dwarfs.Image Credit: NASA‚ ESA‚ CSA‚ STScI‚ and K. Luhman (Penn State University) and C. Alves de Oliveira (European Space Agency)The formation of the smallest brown dwarfs challenges the current models. Other potentially small objects have been highlighted by JWST in other regions‚ such as the Orion Nebula. Clearly‚ the theoretical views will have to be adjusted to explain the observations. The team is confident that these did not form like a planet. All the other stars around are quite small‚ and they would have had the time to form such a big planet and then kick it into interstellar space.“It’s pretty easy for current models to make giant planets in a disc around a star‚” added co-author Catarina Alves de Oliveira of the European Space Agency (ESA)‚ principal investigator on the observing program. “But in this cluster‚ it would be unlikely that this object formed in a disc‚ instead forming like a star‚ and three Jupiter masses is 300 times smaller than our Sun. So we have to ask‚ how does the star formation process operate at such very‚ very small masses?”If a record-breaking brown dwarf wasn’t enough‚ researchers report that two brown dwarfs in the sample have peculiar signatures in their atmosphere. It's a hydrocarbon – a molecule that is made of carbon and hydrogen – of unknown composition. The same signature was seen on Titan‚ the largest moon of Saturn‚ and in interstellar space.“This is the first time we’ve detected this molecule in the atmosphere of an object outside our Solar System‚” explained Alves de Oliveira. “Models for brown dwarf atmospheres don’t predict its existence. We’re looking at objects with younger ages and lower masses than we ever have before‚ and we’re seeing something new and unexpected.”A paper describing the results is published in The Astronomical Journal.

Ignore The Deathly Decay‚ Egyptian Tombs Perhaps Don't Smell Too Bad

Taking a whiff of an ancient Egyptian tomb probably isn't very high on your sightseeing bucket list‚ but you might be pleasantly surprised by some of the smells that can persist here (ignoring the thousands of years of dust and decay). New research has found that certain aromatic plants used in ancient Egyptian funerary rituals‚ such as myrtle and immortelle‚ can still contain detectable amounts of volatile organic compounds nearly 2‚000 years after being used. This suggests that they can still kick up a smell after all this time.Revered for their aromatic scents‚ myrtle and immortelle have been used in rituals by different cultures around the Mediterranean for thousands of years. They were used extensively in Ancient Egypt‚ particularly through the Roman and Greek periods‚ as ornaments on mummies and seemingly played a role in their burial rituals.“It is possible that the use of aromatic plants such as immortelle and myrtle was specifically due to the importance of breathing to revive the deceased‚ as their scent may have stimulated this ability. In addition‚ the fact that immortelle does not wilt must have suggested the idea of survival beyond death‚ while its golden color‚ the same color as the flesh of the gods‚ possibly recalls the divinization of the deceased after their death‚” the study authors explain.In a new study‚ scientists at the University of Pisa in Italy analyzed several samples of myrtle and immortelle‚ including some collected in the 19th century and others from the ancient Egyptian city of Faiyum‚ dated to approximately 1 CE to 400 CE. Using some fancy scientific techniques – catchily named “evolved gas analysis-mass spectrometry and double-shot analytical pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry” – the team found that samples contained detectable amounts of volatile organic compounds. This includes the ancient archaeological samples from Egypt. Stinking plants aren’t the only thing in ancient Egyptian tombs that have a surprisingly good shelf-life. When Tutankhamun's tomb was excavated in 1922‚ archaeologists came across a jar of honey. They even had a taste of the syrupy substance and said that it still tasted sweet. Thanks to its low water content and acidic pH‚ honey doesn’t ever spoil‚ so the 3‚000-year-old food probably tasted pretty good (or‚ at least‚ a taste wouldn’t kill).In a more recent discovery‚ archeologists discovered the tomb of an ancient Egyptian queen earlier this year that was loaded with hundreds of well-preserved wine jars. Traces of 5‚000-year-old wine were reportedly still in the vessels‚ but the remains have most likely been reduced to dust.In Germany‚ however‚ there is a 1‚700-year-old bottle that still contains liquid wine. Scientists believe the wine is still drinkable‚ although judging by the looks of it‚ it wouldn’t taste too pleasant. The new study is published in the Journal of Analytical and Applied Pyrolysis.

Gvt. Gives Nearly $2 Billion For Abortions During Height of Covid

While the nation was struggling to go to work and keep businesses open‚ managing restriction after restriction‚ the government was secretly dishing out billions to fund more and more abortions.  According to a report by the Government Accountability Office (GAO)‚ abortion providers received nearly $2 billion in federal funds between fiscal year 2019 to fiscal year 2021‚ right at the height of the Coronavirus pandemic‚ Newsmax reported Tuesday. During the time‚ Planned Parenthood received $1.78 billion‚ the International Planned Parenthood received $2.03 million‚ the MSI Reproductive Choices received $1.35 million and “four domestic regional abortion providers received $107.74 million‚” Newsmax indicated. That’s a hell of a lot of money to fund more death when at the time‚ people were dying all over the world from Covid.  In response to the news‚ Senator Marsha Blackburn was shocked. Here’s part of her statement Tuesday. It is appalling that big abortion providers are continuing to receive billions of dollars in federal taxpayer funding. While small businesses struggled to make ends meet during the pandemic‚ Planned Parenthood illegally siphoned over $90 million from the Paycheck Protection Program‚ specifically designed to help our mom and pop shops keep their doors open. The American people want their tax dollars spent responsibly and in line with our nation’s values — not on the Left’s abortion-on-demand agenda. Our taxpayer money wasn’t going to these businesses that needed help. Our money went to places that dedicate their efforts to killing babies. This is outrageous.  Blackburn's statement indicated that Planned Parenthood performed 1.11 million abortions while receiving their $1.78 billion dollars from our taxpayer funds. That's a heartbreaking reality To make matters worse‚ Planned Parenthood also received $90.4 million in forgiven Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans. Those loans‚ according to Blackburn's press release‚ were intended by Congress “to assist independent small businesses with less than 500 employees.” Here’s what Newsmax noted as well: Under the Biden administration’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)‚ obligations to Planned Parenthood increased from $5.71 million to $27.06 million between 2021 and 2022‚ representing a 373% increase‚ the GAO report found. Blackburn said it best when she called these moves “appalling” because that’s exactly what this is.

MRC’s Bozell Issues Scorching Rebuke of NewsGuard’s Leftist Bias Amid Third Damning Exposé

MRC President and Founder Brent Bozell delivered a scorching rebuke of self-anointed internet traffic cop NewsGuard following the release of another report exposing the media ratings firm’s extreme leftist bias. Speaking to Fox Business host Stuart Varney on Wednesday‚ Bozell highlighted an MRC Free Speech America report that exposed NewsGuard’s ratings as being disproportionately harsher to right-leaning media. “You've got this group … that calls itself‚ ‘objective‚’” Bozell said of Newsguard‚ which gave left-leaning media an average credibility rating of 91 percent‚ while rating right-leaning media only an average of 65 percent. Related: EVEN WORSE! MRC Exposes NewsGuard for Leftist Bias Third Year in a Row  Bozell ripped the legacy media for decades of tilted coverage under the guise of objectivity. “For years and years and years‚ the media has been telling the American people that they were objective‚” Bozell told Varney on Varney &; Co. The reality‚ Bozell warned‚ “They were left wing.” Bozell blasted NewsGuard as a “new way to attack conservatives.” Indeed‚ MRC released a scathing report — for the third year in a row — that found NewsGuard provides consistently better ratings to leftist media on average while generally slapping down the scores of right-leaning media. In the same interview‚ Varney asked Bozell about embarrassingly low polls showing that President Joe Biden is struggling to clinch support from black voters. The poll‚ released by GenForward/Politico‚ found that 20 percent of black voters would vote for “someone else” rather than Biden and former President Donald Trump. “This is potentially catastrophic news for Joe Biden‚” Bozell stated. “According to studies‚ [the Democrat Party] can't win. The lowest he's ever -- Democrats ever gotten is something like 80‚ 85 percent. He can't win if he doesn't have that support. He got 92 percent in 2020‚ but he's polling right now at 71 percent. This is catastrophic.” Bozell’s remarks came a day after MRC researchers found that NewsGuard anointed highly favorable “credibility” scores for media such as The New York Times‚ The Washington Post‚ TIME and the insufferable Vox website. In contrast‚ NewsGuard strangled right-leaning outlets‚ including Fox News‚ the New York Post and The Daily Wire with a scant average score of 65 out of 100. The study’s findings echo those unveiled by MRC in 2022 and 2021 when NewsGuard similarly punished right-leaning media with scathingly low average scores when compared to those awarded to left-leaning media. Conservatives are under attack. Contact your representatives and demand that Big Tech be held to account to mirror the First Amendment while providing transparency‚ clarity on hate speech and equal footing for conservatives. If you have been censored‚ contact us using CensorTrack’s contact form‚ and help us hold Big Tech accountable.

EXCLUSIVE: Old Glory Bank Co-Founder Responds to ESG Threats

EXCLUSIVE: Old Glory Bank Co-Founder Responds to ESG Threats

Old Glory Bank Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer Eric Ohlhausen responded to a Bloomberg article on net-zero banks in an exclusive interview‚ saying that both U.S. and foreign banks are working to clamp down on farmers in the name of lower emissions.  Following a disturbing statement by an executive from Dutch bank Rabobank that farmers will be charged higher interest rates if they fail to meet draconian emission standards‚ Ohlhausen told MRC Business in a Dec. 12 interview that U.S. banks also intend to go after farmers. The co-founder of Old Glory Bank stressed that when banks introduce “injected barriers and constraints and expenses” for an industry‚ consumers will pay higher prices due to the increased cost of doing business.  Ohlhausen made the case that American banks were also pursuing the same net zero goals as foreign banks such as Rabobank in the Netherlands. “Throughout the U.S.‚ the major banks have made pledges — B of A‚ Citibank — to reach in their eyes‚ net zero emissions by 2050 with interim targets by 2030‚” said Ohlhausen‚ before highlighting that banks were not satisfied with merely getting their operations to net-zero but also were determined to squeeze their customers. Ohlhausen said that the banks were “looking at their customer base in totality in the operations of the bank wanting to achieve net zero‚” before going on to point to areas in which these banks were “dramatically reducing financing.” Ohlhausen didn’t stop there‚ pointing out that Citibank and Bank of America have also targeted the oil and gas industry through penalties “very similar to what the agriculture industry has seen with Rabobank in the Netherlands.” Specifically‚ Ohlhausen said that these banks are “not just imposing higher costs and fees and interest rates‚ but actually completely starving them of financing.” The Old Glory Bank executive called these measures “an even more drastic position to take.” Ohlhausen and Old Glory Bank do not support efforts to pressure the agriculture industry to reduce herds and use less nitrogen‚ nor efforts to cripple the oil and gas industries. As recounted by Ohlhausen‚ Old Glory Bank exists to preserve “financial liberty” and will work with all “lawfully operating businesses.” Ohlhausen discussed a number of examples of disfavored businesses that his bank would work with‚ including firearm manufacturers‚ energy producers‚ farmers and religious organizations.  “It's a fundamental right to be able to participate in the financial system‚” declared Ohlhausen‚ while contrasting Old Glory Bank with Citibank‚ Bank of America‚ Rabobank‚ Stripe‚ PayPal and other organizations that discriminate for political reasons. Ohlhausen said‚ “We don't believe in the ESG‚ we believe in PSL‚ privacy‚ security and liberty. And our view is that that's an incredibly inclusive position for an organization to take. We stand with you no matter where you stand. And so long as you're lawfully operating‚ you can bank with all Glory Bank.” Ohlhausen went on to criticize ESG proponents for “introducing costs to society” that ought to have been handled by elected representatives through legislation. Ohlhausen said that their radical positions “run counter to the ideals that have made our country so great” and that Americans suffer from this conflict and the “artificial costs” placed on American businesses.  Ohlhausen added‚ “I think there certainly those developments are ones that really drove us to our founding group to really do what we're doing in the financial sector.”  Conservatives are under attack! Contact ABC News (818) 460-7477‚ CBS News (212) 975-3247 and NBC News (212) 664-6192 and demand they report on Michael Bloomberg’s planet wide push to eliminate coal and make energy more expensive for everyone.
