  • Breathalyzer for TB and Hepatitis Needed at Border

    One of the latest technology advances in innovation for disease control is a device, which is similar to a Breathalyzer. It is truly amazing what entrepreneurs can come up with when the mother of invention remains mankind’s greatest motivator. There are some issues with such equipment, in that how do you test people with out infecting those being tested when the others who were tested might have had the disease and contaminated equipment? We have outlined some ideas on how to do this without infecting those who work with the INS, Border Patrol or in DHS.

    First of all we know how serio ...

  • Longevity - Can Fat Cells Dictate How Long a Human Survives?
    According to the September Issue of Popular Mechanics, a report written by Jim Wilson explains how human beings may some day have the capability to survive to be 180 (one hundred eighty) years old!

    Based on research from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(http://web.mit.edu/biology/www/facultyareas/facresearch/guarente.shtml) and Professor Leonard P. Guarante; genetic makeup that rules our individual "time-clocks" can be virtually erased.

  • Birth Defects and Miscarriages and Infertility

    Messing around with a mother’s DNA or the DNA of her baby is one of the things that can lead to a miscarriage and birth defects. DNA tells the baby AND the mother “when to do what”. Need a leg? Then you need some specific event at some specific time. If the part of the DNA that controls legs is either damaged or altered by some environmental chemical, the leg won’t be there. And you can’t add it later. It can only develop at one very specific time.

    Genetics News:

    New approach for genetic screening for syndrome linked to cardiac irregularities and sudden death
    Italian researchers have developed a novel approach for genetic screening for long QT syndrome (LQTS), an inherited disease that predisposes young individuals to cardiac arrhythmias and sudden death, according to a study in the December 21 issue of JAMA.


    Hidden Genetic Engineering
    New Zealand genetic engineer Tony Conner claims to have developed a new genetic engineering technique which by using vectors based on the DNA of the target crop does not involve the transfer of foreign DNA (such as the widely used Cauliflower Mosaic Virus). Conner claims that plants produced using this technique "are, by definition, not transgenic", despite the fact that they have been genetically engineered. He says this would, in the case of some countries, move them outside the regulations intended to control the release of GM plants and that "this means the compliance costs involved in gaining approval for commercial use are minimised." he also says it would make...

  • Life in Cyberspace
    Two disparaging claims often made about the online world are that it is inhibited with nerds who don't have a life and that 30 years old woman you met and liked is actually a 13 year old boy. Both have a basis in fact. Some pioneering message-board addicts were in reality socially challenged hackers, and lot of 13 year old boys probably don't have the confidence to confess up to their true civil state online.

    But the time for convenient generalizations about the population of the online world is past. It's in its Devonian era now, swarming with rapidly evolving forms that may or may not ...

    Scientists have discovered Pharmaceutical Drugs and Toxins in the Water Supply, Are you drinking this potentially dangerous cocktail.

    Water treatment plants are set up to eliminate certain types of waste materials, such as pesticides, herbicides and heavy metals from the water supply. They cannot however cope, neither are they equipped to deal with pharmaceuticals, as you will probably know, up to 90% of drugs that are taken in to our bodies, is eliminated by the kidneys and urine, so whatever passes through our bodies, eventually end up back at the water treatment plant and then in to ...
