Galone Eau De Parfum

The Deities Collection recounts the tale of three Southeast Asian mythical creatures – the Nagar Min, Balu, and Galone – and explores the essence of beings and the intricate dualities that exist within us. The third and final fragrance in the collection, Galone portrays a part-bird, part-human deity known for its strength and valour as well as its pride and ego. Galone is an addictive brew opening with savory notes of sesame & nutmeg, leading into a burning heart of smoked nuts & volcanic caramel, rounding off with an alluring base of sandalwood, vetiver & golden musk. Each character represents both the light and shadow sides innate to all of us, and the need to accept, evolve and work with all the sides of ourselves. Think: How do we separate our inner strength and power from our egos to achieve clarity in our goals and actions?

Childhood infectious disease and premature death from cancer: a prospective cohort study - European Journal of Epidemiology

Via: https://link.springer.com

Studies of the association between early life infections and cancer have produced inconsistent findings, possibly due to limited adjustment for confounding and retrospective designs. This study utilised data from the Newcastle Thousand Families Study, a prospective cohort of 1,142 individuals born in Newcastle-upon-Tyne in 1947, to assess the impact of various childhood infectious diseases on cancer mortality during ages 15–60 years. Detailed information was collected prospectively on a number of early life factors. Deaths from cancer during ages 15–60 years were analysed in relation to childhood infections, adjusting for potential early-life confounders, using Cox proportional-hazards regression. In a subsample who returned questionnaires at aged 49–51 years, additional adjustment was made for adult factors to predict death from cancer during ages 50–60 years. Childhood history of measles and influenza, were both independently associated with lower cancer mortality during ages 15–60 years (adjusted hazard ratios = 0.39, 95 % CI 0.17–0.88 and 0.49, 95 % CI 0.24–0.98 respectively). In contrast, childhood pertussis was associated with higher cancer mortality during ages 15–60 years (adjusted hazard ratio = 4.88, 95 % CI 2.29–10.38). In the subsample with additional adjustment for adult variables, measles and pertussis remained significantly associated with cancer mortality during ages 50–60 years. In this pre-vaccination cohort, childhood infection with measles and influenza were associated with a reduced risk of death from cancer in adulthood, while pertussis was associated with an increased risk. While these results suggest some disease-specific associations between early-life infections and cancer, further studies are required to confirm the specific associations identified.
