Michael Longley CBE 1939-2025 As I post these portraits of my dear friend today, I am filled with sadness. And a great sense of pride. Michael was one of the Belfast greats. One of the Irish greats. One of the world’s greats. 1/4

@neheritagelib Always liked this from Alan Morgan’s “Bygone Lower Ouseburn” showing Mill House with The Ship Inn to the right.

Good evening everyone. Continuing down at the Ouseburn… This is the Ship Inn, a lush little vegan haunt by the Cluny. It was originally the “top ship” given the Tyne Bar previously had a very similar name - known as the “bottom ship”. Now the name has been attached to this site for at least 170 years. Back in the 1850s the pub was part of a tenement row pinned between tons of industry. It’ll have been an intimidating, tall converted brick dwelling dating to at least the 1840s. The first reference I can find is from 1856, when the houses adjoining were all sold off by auction within. They were tenements with large rooms and attics, perhaps built for the iron workers over the burn. Many of these old buildings were cleared when the Byker Bridge was constructed in 1878. As a result, it will have been rebuilt just after into the current iteration I reckon. It was around this time the pub became popular with workers for the nearby abattoir, but bare in mind this was basically a village in the 1890s. Crawfords Bridge was the centre of a small community with mills and potteries all across the burn. The Ship certainly underpinned village life, facilitating bowls and quoits matches. As you can see it was originally part of a larger terrace of housing and commercial premises. They were all cleared in the 30s. Somehow it stands strong today though for a slightly different clientele then a century and a half ago!

In the wake of the rancid, traumatic scenes we experienced on our streets a few weeks back, Ryan sent me a message; “we’ve got to do something…”

Advanced Prostate Cancer Consensus Conference
The Proteogenomics of Prostate Cancer Radioresistance out on @CRC_AACR aacrjournals.org/cancerrescommu… #ProstateCancer radioresistance☢️ remains a challenge in radiotherapy, with aggressive relapses often occurring, but the underlying molecular mechanisms are not well understood. This study analyzed the genomic🧬 transcriptomic, and proteomic profiles of prostate cancer cells exposed to both conventional and hypofractionated radiotherapy, revealing that radioresistance is associated with genomic instability and impaired DNA mismatch repair, regardless of the treatment regimen. Key cancer driver genes exhibited distinct RNA and protein-level changes, with conventional fractionation triggering a more aggressive biomolecular response than hypofractionation. The study identified POLQ (DNA Polymerase Theta) as a promising radiosensitizer, demonstrating its ability to modulate radioresistance and predict treatment outcomes in patient cohorts, providing new insights into the lethal nature of prostate cancer. @HaasRoni @bethneilsen @Chenghao_Zhu @DrAndrewLoblaw @dr_vesi @AmarUKishan @DrMLChua @KislingerThomas @DrStanLiu

In England, we currently have many GPs unable to find permanent posts whilst at the same time patients are struggling to get appointments with their own GP. The next government must invest in core GP services to expand capacity and give people the care the primary care they need.

🚨 Breaking results 🚨 @PrimeMRI study presented at #EAU24 @Uroweb. This 🌍 multicentre trial (n=555, 22 sites) showed that biparametric MRI without contrast is non-inferior 2 multiparametric MRI & should be the new standard for prostate cancer diagnosis if image quality is good
