“…In spite of several studies on self-esteem covering the human life-span, the relation between self-esteem, aging and health remains incompletely explored, particularly in the French population.The objective of this study is twofold: (1) to assess the relation between self-esteem and socio-demographic factors, notably age, among older French adults, and (2) if, as is presumed, advancing age is associated with lower self-esteem, to test the mediating effect of chronic diseases and physical incapacities on the relation between age and negative self-esteem.For this, 400 older adults living in Marseille, aged from 60 to 92, were individually interviewed (average duration: 1 h 30).In this sample, age, place of residence and educational level were associated with self-esteem. …”

1987-2017 : Regard sur l’évolution de l’histoire des origines by Brigitte Senut

“…The principle of uniformatarianism widely used in palaeontology is important in the study of human evolution: the development of fieldwork and laboratory research on modern non-human primates is essential for establishing comparative models which permit a better understanding of the cultural and locomotor behaviors of the past, the life characters, but also the living environments. The reconstructions of environments largely based on palaeobiota, are now supplemented by geochemical studies of the enamel of mammalian teeth (reconstruction of diets), but also of the sediments (highlighting phases of aridity, by example). …”

Microbes, macrophages, and melanin: a unifying theory of disease as exemplified by cancer by Stacie Z. Berg, Jonathan Berg

“…In this article, we provide evidence that tumors are actually complex microbial communities composed of various microorganisms living within biofilms encapsulated by a hard matrix; that these microorganisms are what cause the genetic mutations seen in cancer and control angiogenesis; that these pathogens spread by hiding in tumor cells and M2 or M2-like macrophages and other phagocytic immune cells and traveling inside them to distant sites camouflaged by platelets, which they also reprogram, and prepare the distant site for metastasis; that risk factors for cancer are sources of energy that pathogens are able to utilize; and that, in accordance with our previous unifying theory of disease, pathogens utilize melanin for energy for building and sustaining tumors and metastasis. …”
