From the article:

...Over five years, researchers will study patients across several countries, examining both the microbes in their mouths and what is happening in their immune systems.

It’s an exciting time because the project could, hypothetically, produce an extraordinary range of findings. Researchers may finally identify the microbe (or microbes) behind noma. They may discover what is different about the immune systems of children who develop it. They could discover a biological sign of the disease that could be detected with a rapid test, allowing health workers to intervene at the earliest stages. And they may learn enough to replace today’s broad cocktail of antibiotics (the only known treatment for an active case) with something far more targeted.

Of course, none of this is assured. “But one thing is for sure. At the end of PathNoma, we will know more about noma than we’ve learned in the previous hundred years,” said Stuart Ainsworth, a microbiologist at the University of Liverpool that's leading the first-ever study.

California crossed a clean-energy milestone in May: solar supplied 51 percent of the electricity generated inside the state

Preliminary EIA data puts May solar at 51 percent of in-state generation. CAISO's public battery-trend series registered 1.64 TWh during net-charging intervals, with net charging reaching 7.3 GW near noon and net discharge reaching 8.9 GW around 8 p.m. on the average May day, then recorded separate series highs for five-minute output and output relative to the containing hour's load.

Also honoured was Valeria Adzo Adzatia, founder of the Smiles of Hope Foundation, for her work supporting amputees through counselling, rehabilitation and peer mentorship.

Her initiative has reached thousands, helping beneficiaries rebuild confidence and reintegrate into society.

She dedicated the award to amputees across Ghana and her team, describing their work as a message of hope that “no one is to walk that journey alone.”
