In local news, a retired Massachusetts state trooper, Tom McNulty, is urgently seeking
a kidney donor after being diagnosed with kidney failure.
Tom and his wife, Kathleen, were looking forward to retirement when during a routine physical
in 2020, doctors discovered his elevated creatinine levels.

which offers better outcomes than deceased donors.

have not yet found a viable match.

In top news, the side effects of ozempic, an injectable drug primarily used for weight
loss, often garner attention.
Commonly reported effects include gastrointestinal upset, nausea, and stomach pain, which typically
resolve within days.
However, some users may experience more serious issues, like muscle loss, which can impact
metabolic health.
Changes in menstrual cycles may also occur, likely due to weight loss rather than the
drug itself.
Less common but severe side effects include pancreatitis and allergic reactions.
Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should avoid this medication.
Consulting a doctor about potential interactions and managing side effects is crucial.

Let's talk science.
In a groundbreaking study, scientists have discovered that mice may possess ultrasonic
powers, using sound to manipulate nanoparticles and enhance their sense of smell.
Traditionally, these rodents were thought to use ultrasonic vocalizations solely for
courtship.
However, bioacoustics experts observed that mice sniff after producing these sounds,
suggesting a more complex function.
This phenomenon, described as creating new pathways of information, could reshape our
understanding of animal communication and provide insights into manipulating nanoparticles
with sound.
As Jessica Jo from Harvard University notes, mice play a crucial role in biological research,
potentially leading to significant medical advancements.
And in entertainment news.

by honoring the era's languages.

treachery and love.
Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.
And today, our quote comes from the Albanian humanitarian and missionary, Mother Teresa.

I have found the paradox that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt,
only more love.
