  • Las Vegas "Whales"
    What Las Vegas jargon names "whales" is in fact the creme of the high rollers species. They are a handfull of people that in some opinions don't exceed 500 individuals in the world. Las Vegas hoteliers are nuts about them; some claim four or five of those whales bet much more than the rest of the thousands customers they receive daily. No wonder they are suspected of going as far as selling their first born child to get one of those whales into their gaming area.

  • How to Supercharge Your Energy Levels through Exercise

    Your energy levels will depend on several factors, including genetics, nutrition, sleep habits, and emotional stress. Some of these you have no control over But there is one VERY important factor that you do have control over and that is your ability to take part in physical exercise.

    Need a source of vast power and energy?

    Look no further than your gym.

    The link between physical fitness and energy is so strong, that doctors have lately been prescribing exercise as treatment for chronic fatigue, depression, seasonal affective disorder (SAD), and insomnia, for instance.

  • Paternity Testing - Are You Raising Someone Else's Child?

    The dawn of the DNA test



    Back in the 1700s, the best way to determine paternity was by a good hard look and the child, followed by a good hard look at the father. Enough coincidences and maybe a relationship could be proposed. A hundred years later, eye color was discovered to be a paternity identifier. This theory has had its flaws exposed because of recent DNA advances. We now know that eye color is determined by at least six alleles, or genetic markers. Paternity testing has become a lot easier and affordable over the past few years due to advances in DNA science. Although a ...

    August 19, 2005, Hour One: Gene Therapy Advance / Agriculture and Antibiotic Resistance / Improving Memory
    Scientists report this week that they have made an advance in gene therapy research, using biotech techniques to fight muscular dystrophy in mice. We'll find out more. Plus, a look at a recent FDA decision to ban the use of one antibiotic in agriculture, and ways to improve your memory.


    Gene Therapy May Protect Normal Tissues During Radiation Retreatment For Lung Cancer
    According to a University of Pittsburgh study presented at the 47th Annual Meeting of the American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology, Oct. 16 to 20, gene therapy could be used as an agent to protect normal tissues from damage during a second administration of radiation therapy for non-small cell lung cancer. Administration of manganese superoxide dismutase plasmid liposome (MnSOD-PL)


    Awakening gene therapy with Sleeping Beauty transposons.
    Publication Date: 2005 Aug 3 PMID: 16084771Authors: Essner, J. J. - McIvor, R. S. - Hackett, P. B.Journal: Curr Opin PharmacolSleeping Beauty transposons have the potential for use as chromosome-integrating vectors for non-viral gene therapy. Recent preclinical data from mouse models for human genetic disorders have shown efficacy for the Sleeping Beauty transposon system in the treatment of hemophilia, tyrosinemia type I, junctional epidermolysis bullosa and type 1 diabetes. Methods have also been developed to deliver Sleeping Beauty transposons to the lung, liver and tumors for treatments for cystic fibrosis, cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, and cancer. Recent studies characterizing site selection for integration and insertional mutagenesis indicate that the Sleeping Beauty transposon system may be a safer alternative than viral approaches for gene therapy.

  • The future of the Human Species - Part 4: Will we create our future?
    Experiments have shown that human physiology becomes very weak in an unknown environment to the brain. Humans then start to panic. Problem is that humans do not necessarily want to show their uncertainty. So they hide it. When they actually hide this uncertainty, humans start to get stressed and this is the big problem.

    When we get stressed, we become moody and cannot concentrate on what we are doing. Imagine an astronaut getting really frustrated in the middle of a mission on the International Space Station. This may be catastrophic! He seizes a hammer floating nearby in the zero-gravi ...

    How to Neutralize the Terrorists Within Your Body

    Did you know that there are free radical biochemical “terrorists” systematically attacking your cells and the DNA of your cells everyday, on an average of 10,000 hits per day?

    These internal weapons of mass destruction are abnormal (free radical) oxygen molecules that are destroying your health and accelerating the aging process. 73% of all diseases are caused by these free radical biochemical “terrorists” molecules.

    A Free Radical Oxidant molecule is a molecule of oxygen that is MISSING an electron. Because it is so out of ...

    Biotechnology, a '90s buzzword, popularly conjures up somewhat ominous images of gene-tinkering. Yet manipulating the genetic makeup of plants and animals to improve crop yields is far from new. Cross-breeding for desired traits such as tallness, greater milk yield or sweeter fruits, has been practiced ever since humans took ...
