'I’m 17 and living on borrowed time – I’ve made my own funeral playlist but I refuse to wait to die'
Her dying wish is to have her first kiss, like any normal teenage girl, after the disease stole her carefree years.Eden, who is studying animal care at college, said: "While I was in hospital and missing school, it felt like my friends had grown up and moved forward in life without me."They threw parties while I was throwing up. I was no longer me, I was a new me, mentally and physically.
Since April 2022, Eden has been taking a drug to prolong her life but the teen knows she is on borrowed time.with her mum Tess, 39, stepdad Cameron, 39 and her younger siblings Logan, six, and two-year-old Faora. Tess said: "In 2022 Eden was declared terminal. We were devastated but she has made us so proud with her attitude."In March 2022, Eden had 40 per cent of her left lung removed and went on to do her GCSEs."Since April last year, Eden has been on a trial drug called Cabozantinib, which is keeping her stable with very minimal growth.

Oral microbial communities in 5-year-old children with versus without dental caries - BMC Oral HealthBackground Caries in young children has received more and more attention. The study of the oral microbiota may help to understand the polymicrobial etiology of dental caries. Objectives To investigate the diversity and structure of microbial communities in saliva samples from 5-year-old children with versus without dental caries. Methods A total of 36 saliva samples were collected from 18 children with high caries (HB group) and from 18 children without caries (NB group). Then, 16S rDNA was amplified from bacterial samples using polymerase chain reaction, and high-throughput sequencing was performed using Illumina Novaseq platforms. Results Sequences were clustered into operational taxonomic units (OTUs), which were distributed among 16 phyla, 26 classes, 56 orders, 93 families, 173 genera, and 218 species. Firmicutes, Bacteroides, Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Fusobacteria, Patescibacteria, Epsilonbacteraeota, Cyanobacteria, Acidobacteria and Spirochaetes were basically the same in different groups, but their relative abundances were different. The core microbiome was defined as the species from 218 shared microbial taxa. The alpha diversity test showed that there were no significant differences in microbial abundance and diversity between the high caries and no caries groups. The results from principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) and hierarchical clustering showed that the two groups had similar microorganisms. The biomarkers of different groups were defined by LEfSe analysis to identify potential caries-related and health-related bacteria. Co-occurrence network analysis of dominant genera showed that oral microbial communities in the no caries group were more complex and aggregated than those in the high caries group. Finally, the PICRUSt algorithm was used to predict the function of the microbial communities from saliva samples. The obtained results showed that mineral absorption was greater in the no caries group than in the high caries group. BugBase was used
