Shams Ul QammarPublished 9 months ago in PsycheDo you talk to yourself often?
Self-talk can be distracting when it interrupts your morning routine. Just as you're about to drift off to sleep, you hear your alarm clock blaring. As you brush your teeth, remember that you need a haircut--unless there's a sporting event that day. Hastily grabbing your keys, you run outside just in time to see your neighbor. Being sociable can be frustrating, so some people label talking to oneself as a sign of mental instability.

Can the PDX mouse model be adapted for research in other disease areas beyond cancer?
Introduction: The Patient-Derived Xenograft (PDX) mouse model has emerged as a revolutionary tool in cancer research, revolutionizing our understanding of tumor biology and aiding in the development of personalized cancer therapies. By engrafting human tumor tissues into immunodeficient mice, researchers have been able to recapitulate the complexity of human tumors in a living organism. The PDX model has opened up new avenues for investigating drug responses, tumor heterogeneity, and treatment resistance. But can this model be adapted for research in other disease areas beyond cancer?

There are many prejudices in this world. This affects the lives of everyday people constantly. I spent 15 years under the mental health services after being sectioned via a court at the age of 18. I was born with a form of Autism. I was only diagnosed at 16 with Asperger Syndrome after my father had to get the MP involved due to CAMHS assuming that I was probably on the spectrum without providing an official diagnosis. I had to obtain a diagnosis from a forensic team after the police kept getting involved for my behaviour issues relating to my undiagnosed Autism. I have just managed to get out of the mental health system after requesting to come off the section 117 aftercare. I wasn’t provided with any services for the past 7 years therefore the council agreed to end the section after 15 years. I want to go into how I may have got myself into the system by accident alongside the behaviours associated with my Autism. I was labelled a criminal due to a stupid attempt at trying to get revenge on someone who had rejected me when I was a teenager. I tried to get a tutor from college arrested for carrying a bomb when another student had told me that she was due to go on holiday that day. I emailed the airport saying that I had information that a passenger was carrying a bomb. Luckily, the court downgraded my charge to providing false information. I also got charged with Harassment a few times for how school had encouraged me to communicate as a child. I was told to write things down if I couldn’t talk to the teachers in circumstances where I was being bullied etc.
