Diabetes--What You Need to Know About This Hidden Danger
Diabetes is a disease in which blood glucose levels are above normal. Most of the food we eat is turned into glucose (sugar) for our bodies to burn to create energy. The pancreas, an organ that lies near the stomach, produces a hormone called insulin to help glucose get into the cells of our bodies. When you have diabetes, your body either doesn't make enough insulin or can't use its own insulin as well as it should. This causes large amounts of sugar to build up in your blood.
The actual cause of diabetes continues to be a mystery, although both genetics and environmental facto ...

Stem Cell Advance Muddles Debate
A Harvard University advance in generating embryonic stem cells may have the unintended consequence of hindering congressional efforts to lift research restrictions imposed by President Bush four years ago, leaders on both sides of the issue said yesterday as details of the discovery traveled through the scientific and political communities. (Washington Post, 23 August 2005)
Researchers discover mechanism for multiplying adult stem cells
Although adult stem cell research isn't fraught with the controversies that surround embryonic stem cells, adult stem cells are extremely difficult to isolate and then to multiply in a lab dish. Now, as reported in the May 6 issue of the journal Cell, researchers in the lab of Whitehead Institute Member Rudolf Jaenisch have discovered a mechanism that might enable scientists to multiply adult stem cells quickly and efficiently.
Genaera Completes Special Protocol Assessment with FDA for EVIZON and Geron Updates on Human Embryonic Stem Cell Programs at International Society for Stem Cell Research Meeting

Senate leader predicts stem cell vote within month (Reuters)
Reuters - Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist said on Wednesday he hoped to have a vote within a month on the controversial issue of expanding federal funding for embryonic stem cell research.
Whirled views on stem cell research
Editorial page editor Ken Neal, in Sunday's Tulsa Whirled, displays both ignorance and disingenuousness on the issue of federal funding for stem cell research. Where to begin with this mess? It's difficult to understand President Bush's opposition to embryonic stem-cell research. The president appears to believe that "life" is being destroyed to "save life" if the fertilized human eggs headed for destruction are used for medical research. Ken, if it's a fertilized human egg, it is life -- a distinct human being that will, unless it's destroyed, grow into a potential Tulsa Whirled subscriber. (You're losing those quickly enough as...
NY Times:
As Vote Nears, DeLay Attacks Bill Expanding Stem Cell Research. "'Once people understand the issue,' said the majority leader, Representative Tom DeLay of Texas, 'more than 70 percent are against embryonic stem cell research.'" Now there's a new method for quoting stats: "Once they understand." But the GOP has a conflict; actual poll numbers say 57% of their own party are OK with embryonic stem cell research.

He has received many awards, including the Association of Professors of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Public Recognition Award in 1992. Like many others, Professor Simpson was taken by surprise when he discovered that the Qur'ān and Hadīth contain verses related to his specialised field of study. When he met with Sheikh cAbdul-Majeed A.Zindanī, he insisted on verifying the text presented to him from the Qur'ān and Hadīth.

Lasers - A Modern Cosmetic Treatment For Acne Blemishes
The best way to protect your skin from acne-related scarring is to take preventative measures early on. But it is often true that people who suffer from acne are unable to prevent future scarring sufficiently. In fact, it is estimated that more than 10 million Americans end up with scarring caused by acne. There are many degrees of acne-related scarring. In some cases, the scarring is very minimal and hard to notice. But in other cases, scarring is severe and can cause long-term emotional damage. Many teenagers who have severe scarring caused by acne suffer from depression and a loss ...
