I am sorry to report that Dr (John) Robin Warren (Nobel Prize in Medicine 2005) died yesterday evening (July 23 rd). Robin was cared for at Brightwater in Perth Western Australia. He had become very frail in recent years and passed away peacefully in the company of his family.

Good choice Nobel committee, worth watching. Touch and temperature receptors have Implications for pain control and a whole range of new treatments. Lesson is that in 2021 nothing is too complicated, too tiny, or too esoteric to be unravelled by a dedicated scientific team. 👏
BREAKING NEWS:
The 2021 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded jointly to David Julius and Ardem Patapoutian “for their discoveries of receptors for temperature and touch.”

In 1984 I gave a presentation predicting that surgery for ulcers would disappear once H.pylori was treated with antibiotics. 15 years seems about the right length of time for a major paradigm shift. Sorry you old surgeons.😭😭 (and…Nortel went bankrupt in 2009).
I did a keynote for Nortel in 1994 in Tucson. Spoke about Internet telephony taking apart and destroying the phone industry as we know it. Apparently, the CEO was livid on the flight home - 'who invited this guy in?' Then, VoIP and IP and data destroyed, well, the industry. LOL.

Thanks Keith. At the bottom of the review the specific omission of the widely used 100% safe C14 UBT made me wonder if the authors were sponsored by the C13 manufacturers. I couldn’t see a conflict of interest declaration though.🧐
After treating H pylori, remember to retest to ensure eradication if patients meet criteria, ideally with a urease breath test.
Especially important after H pylori associated peptic ulcers.

Nice people in Shenzhen 😃 As I finished my 2 km walk along #huaqiangbei （华强北 ) I wondered why people were calling me as I walked up from the subway. I eventually figured out they were returning a 100RMB note ($20AUD) I had dropped. I spent it on electronic gadgets 😃👍😂 #huaqiangbei is the world’s best place for that. @MarshallC_UWA

Here’s the volcano fact:
Volcanic CO2 emissions are a natural source of atmospheric carbon dioxide, but they are relatively minor compared to human activities. According to scientific estimates, the global volcanic CO2 emissions are approximately 200 million tonnes (0.2 gigatonnes) per year.
In comparison, human activities, primarily the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation, contribute about 35-40 gigatonnes of CO2 per year.
To put it in perspective:
- **Volcanic CO2 emissions**: ~0.2 gigatonnes per year.
- **Human-caused CO2 emissions**: ~35-40 gigatonnes per year.
Thus, volcanic activity contributes less than 1% of the annual CO2 emissions when compared to human activities. Over geological timescales, volcanic CO2 has been an important factor in the carbon cycle, but in the context of recent increases in atmospheric CO2, human activities are the dominant source.
