  • Facts about Genetic research

    Genetics, or the science of genes, seems to be the future of modern medicine, and genetic research keeps gaining ground, but together with the great benefits and cures it can bring, genetic research poses a lot of moral and ethical problems, and it has been said that it could even threaten our civil rights and liberties.

    If genetic research continues to develop, parents will be able to have exactly the children they want, and they could plan his life even before his birth. And is this 'right'?Other thing that genetic research could lead to is genetic discrimination - already a numbe ...

  • The Monster's Mother

    Somewhere in the world, every eight seconds, a mother is throwing her hands in the air and declaring that her child is a little monster. But for Echidna it was the literal truth.

    Echidna was called the mother of all monsters, although her children numbered no more than a dozen or so, and many were exemplary offspring and a pride to any parent. They may still roam the earth in the quiet unseen places, waiting the day when a new Hero will come to challenge them.

    There are many arguments about Echidna's exact lineage, but who amongst us can vouch for every union in our own backgrou ...

    Molecular genetic profiling of gleason grades 3 and 4/5 prostate cancer
    Many genes are affected in prostate cancers which have not been previously identified. This includes genes that have been up-regulated or down-regulated. Monitoring the expression levels of these genes is useful to identify the existence of prostate cancer. Also, monitoring the expression levels of these genes is useful to predict...


    Breast cancer genetic test backlog
    The charity CancerBACUP has conducted a survey of BRCA1/2 genetic testing in 23 regional genetics centres, to detect mutations associated with substantially increased risk of breast and ovarian cancer (see BBC news item). They report that in two of the 19 centres that responded, women are waiting up to nine months for their first appointment, and that in five centres women were waiting between one and two years for their test results.

    Genetic Defect Calls for Colon Cancer Screening
    Researchers have found a way to ease the burden of screening for people considered to be at high risk of colorectal cancer and other malignancies because of a suspected genetic defect.


    Customized gene chip provides rapid detection of genetic changes in children's cancer
    Genetics researchers have developed a customized gene chip to rapidly scan tumor samples for specific DNA changes that offer clues to prognosis in cases of neuroblastoma, a common form of children's cancer. Rather than covering the entire genome, the microarray focuses on suspect regions of chromosomes for signs of deleted genetic material known to play a role in the cancer.


     
    		 
     


  • LED Photo Rejuvenation/Intense Pulsed Light/Infra-Red Light Affects Skin Rejuvenation

    LED Photo Rejuvenation,Intense Pulsed Light or Infra-Red Light and it’s Affects on Skin Rejuvenation

    In order for your skin to continue to exist, it has to constantly reproduce new cells to take the place of the ones that are being shed.

    People need certain wavelengths of light similar to the way plants need sunlight to thrive. Your skin has the ability to absorb light and use it as a source of energy to stimulate cellular regeneration.

    LED Photo Rejuvenation or Intense Pulsed Light (P.R./IPL) is infra-red light which stimulates the cell activity; this increases Collagen a ...

His typical day at work involves ripping customers off at the car dealership where he works as the head sales manager.

    His need for respect and money leads him to hire an ungainly pair of men to kidnap his wife so that he can collect ransom money. ...

  • Twins - Double The Trouble Or Double The Pleasure? Both!

    If You're Having Twins..is it double the headache, or double the joy? Probably both!

    What Causes Twins?
    The number of twins is on the increase, probably because of IVF treatment where more than one fertilised egg is placed in the womb.

    Of the non-IVF twins, there are two causes:

    1. Two eggs are released during ovulation and both are fertilised by separate sperm - it is possible twins can be fathered by two different Dads! In this case the twins are not identical (even if they have the same Dad!). Non-identical twins are also known as fraternal, they s ...
