Ordinary sugar could become a contrast agent of the future for use in magnetic resonance tomography examinations of tumours. Malignant tumours show higher sugar consumption than surrounding tissue. “If sugar replaces metal as a contrast agent in the body, it can also have a positive psychological effect and make patients calmer,” says Linda Knutsson, senior lecturer at Lund University in Sweden.A

Donald Trump’s background in professional wrestling paved the way for his political career. By using the wrestling concept “kayfabe” – the art of making staged events seem real – Trump embodies the message that politics was always fake, while masquerading as authentic. This has tapped into an already existing disillusionment with the American political system. It can also explain why playing the v
