The Flower

A certain king had a garden, in which were planed rows of fig trees, vines, pomegranates and apples. He entrusted it to a tenant-farmer and went away. After a time, the king returned, and looking into the garden to know what it had produced, found it full of thorns and thistles. So he brought in woodcutters to destroy the garden utterly. But as he looked among the thorns, he noticed a single rose-coloured Flower. He took it, and smelt it, and his spirit found rest in it.
Said the king, 'For the sake of this Flower, the whole garden will be saved.' (Leviticus Rabbah 23:3)

Medical Breakthrough In Israel: A Lung Was Removed From The Body Of A Cancer Patient, Cleaned And Returned
In Beilinson Hospital, for the first time, a lung cancer patient went under surgery in which the tumor removed and the healthy lung returned to his body. "Cleaning" organs from tumors may change global coping with cancer

At the Beilinson Hospital in Petah Tikva, Israel, part of the Rabin Medical Centre, for the first time a lung cancer patient has undergone surgery in which his entire left lung was separated, taken from his body, the cancerous tumor it contained removed and the now-healthy lung reinstalled successfully back in his body to re-join its counterpart, through which the patient had continued to breathe during the extended operation, which took many hours.
This patient, who is in his 40s, had suffered a cancerous tumor which eventually blocked the main airway in his left lung, leading to its collapse.

At first, doctors thought there would be no choice but to permanently resection the damaged part of his lungs, as is usually done in such cases, which would expose him to serious risks until the hospital could find him a donor lung for a transplant.

With this new form of surgery, however, there is no need to wait for an organ transplant and, if successful, it can also allow a patient to return to the normal routines of life without damaging chemotherapy or radiation treatments.

New coronavirus test that is eight times faster can help locate asymptomatic carriers

The researchers determined that the key is to divide the samples into different pools. The planning and constructing of the pools and the way they mix the individual samples enables them to identify and follow up with those found positive for COVID-19 after far fewer tests than the norm.
