Cancer is a disease caused by uncontrolled growth of cells. There are several types of cancer from head to the bottom part of our body. Tumors are excessive tissue found in the organ. Tumors can be malignant leading to cancer and benign tumor which can be treated. Tumors normally occur in the cells of the body and eventually grow to uncontrollable sizes until it accumulates all cells within the organ leading to a more serious condition called cancer. Doctors and medical experts are in the verge of finding out a more appropriate, safer, and a cheaper cure and treatment against cancer. Cancer researchers are not stopping on researching medications or therapy for cancer patients. There is a new cancer...

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a degenerative disorder affecting the central nerve system. A person with Parkinson's disease may develop muscular rigidity, tremors, and altered speech patterns. The person may also have problems using language and lose higher cognitive functions. PD may cause a person to move very slowly (bradykinesia) and may cause loss of balance. The disease is progressive and chronic. PD is not fatal, but eventually severe muscular problems may cause pneumonia, choking, and falls which may result in death. PD affects approximately 150 out of every 100,000 Caucasian individuals, and is slightly less prevalent among African-Americans. Parkinson's disease is caused by decreased...

Many moms-to-be that I talk to show tell-tale tigns of stress. See, the process of picking a name for an unborn child can be extremely stressful. Some boy names sound bad with certain last names, some girl names sound right, but theres just too much discrepancy! What if there was a way to get rid of the confusion and pick a symbolic and meaningful name for your child? Why settle with a name just because it was the "gender back up" name? Thanks to recent breakthroughs in the field of genomics, you can now choose the gender of your unborn baby during pregnancy! Now the number one question I get from new moms looking to choose the gender of their baby is "Isn't that unnatural?". It's funny when they...

Hello, My name is George M., and I am a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, with a degree in Biology/Neuroscience. During my studies at Penn, I did much research on the brain and the various neurotransmitters in the brain. My own experience led me to do more research on the protein called leptin, and the chemical in the body called CCK. Mastery of these two factors will lead you to mastery of your hunger centers in your body. You will learn to control hunger in a completely natural way. I call this article "Mind Control Soup" for various reasons... The hypothalamus in the brain controls the hunger and emotional centers of the CNS or central nervous system. If fixed this with a recipe that...

A turning point in Science and our approach to the human body occurred in 1953 when Watson and Crick discovered the double helix structure of DNA. DNA consists of four base chemicals called nucleotides: adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine that reside on the inner surface of two parallel sugar and phosphate rails. DNA holds all the information required to produce and maintain a living organism. In 2003 the Human Genome Project was completed and the entire sequence of human genes was unraveled, mapped and stored in databases. In the past decade DNA microarray technology has made it possible to measure the expression levels of many thousands of genes simultaneously. DNA microarrays are quite complex...

What is "genomics", and how will it effect what will be in your next skin care product? Well, let me first start by giving you the official definition as provided by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, which states, "The term 'genomics' encompasses a broader scope of scientific inquiry associated technologies than when genomics was initially considered. A genome is the sum total of all an individual organism's genes. Thus, genomics is the study of all the genes of a cell, or tissue, at the DNA (genotype), mRNA (transcriptome), or protein (proteome) levels." Well, that certainly was a mouthful, wasn't it? However, for purposes of this article, I will demonstrate how the use of this new...

Frankincense is a resin that is derived from the Boswellia tree, which is found in North Africa, the Middle East, and parts of Asia. Frankincense oil had been sought after for over 5000 years for its benefits. It was found in King Tut's tomb, and it is mentioned in the story of Christ's birth as a gift from one of the wise men who came to see the new born king. For most of us in Western culture frankincense is relatively unknown, but today scientists are discovering many of the benefits that this substance provides, leading us to understand why it was once valued as much as gold. Not only is frankincense used for a variety of skin problems such as wrinkles, wounds, scars, dry skin, and relief for...

The diversified field of Computer technology or more specifically the core discipline of computer science also deals with the sub disciplines like theories of programming...

Von Willebrand factor (vWF) is a multimeric plasma glycoprotein that mediates platelet adhesion to the subendothelium at sites of vascular injury. Platelets are cytoplasmic fragments of mega karyocytes and, therefore, their membrane proteins cannot be manipulated by expression methods in culture. Platelets participate in the physiologic mechanisms that interrupt bleeding a process called hemostasis by adhering to injured vascular surfaces and aggregating with one another. The pathological counterpart of this normal activity is the occurrence of arterial thrombosis, caused by the formation of thrombi that occlude atherosclerotic vessels and curtail blood supply to organs. Central to the function of...

"...while there is a growing number of healing arts schools that provide these and other holistic health programs, some traditional colleges and schools have begun offering integrative medicine courses to those interested in treating patients holistically." Today's courses in complementary medicine are not at all like what some may believe to be.  A matter of fact, while there is a growing number of healing arts schools that provide these and other holistic health programs, some traditional colleges and schools have begun offering integrative medicine courses to those interested in treating patients holistically. For example, were you aware that courses in complementary medicine are offered to the...

An increasing number of people, wary of the side effects (or no effects) of western medicine, are looking for alternative solutions to many health issues, not only for themselves, but also for their pets. If you're a pet owner, you know how heartbreaking it is to watch your best furry friend suffer from aches and pains and not be able to do much more about it than give him the pill the vet prescribed and hope that it works. While a pill might lessen the pain from arthritis or stop the itching from allergies, it won't cure the cause of it. Acupuncture, on the other hand, tries to get to the root of the problem and, like all holistic health therapies, sees the body as a whole and tries to balance it...

Bird flu is a disease caused by a specific type of avian (bird) influenza virus, the so-called H5N1 virus. This virus was first discovered in birds in China in 1997 and since then has infected 125 people in Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, and Indonesia, killing 64 of them. It is spread by infected migratory birds (including wild ducks and geese) to domestic poultry (primarily chickens, ducks, and turkeys), and then to humans. Since 1997, and especially since the beginning of 2004, approximately 150 million birds have either died from the disease or been killed to prevent further spread. Nevertheless, this very infectious and deadly virus has spread relentlessly to China, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam...

Cleanroom environments are controlled work areas that are designed to protect products from contamination. Cleanrooms are an integral part of organizations, manufacturing high-end products like silicon chips, hard drives, satellites etc. Organizations spend millions of dollars to build and maintain cleanrooms in order to ensure safety of manufacturing equipment and deliver high quality products. A significant amount of this investment goes into the procurement of equipment such as chairs, stools, desks, etc. Improper selection of this equipment has the potential to ruin the clean environment, and this could have disastrous financial implications. Effective contamination control is achieved by...

Your parents were right, say researchers. Sitting around watching television and surfing the Internet is potentially dangerous for your health. But it is not the television or the Internet that is to blame, say experts. It is the sitting. A number of studies have now confirmed that sitting and poor health are linked in a subtle but insidious manner. Sitting and Poor Health In a recent study, researchers at the University of Queensland found a link between the amounts of time that subjects spent watching television and the levels of blood glucose and blood cholesterol in their bodies. This held true even if the individuals engaged in regular physical exercise and after such variables as obesity were...

These days, there are so many quickie ways to take a Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) course. There are also several excellent organizations turning out highly qualified trainers. I began training before they even really required a certification. I did major in biology/physiology and always found the human body to be one of the most fascinating topics I could study. What I am trying to stress here is that whoever you select, ask about their certification, for references and about their education, as well as their experience in the field. You can go online and investigate the certifying organization, the college they attended and definitely call their references. Equally as important is that you...

mportance of circulatory system learning certainly is important and the reasons vary but are very similar—chiefly that people would be able to save their own and others’ lives by being able to recognize the signs of circulatory compromise and the importance of getting help quickly. Fortunately this system of oxygen and nutrient transport is one of the most logical and easiest to understand systems that there are in the realm of human biology/physiology/pathology and so it is easy to teach and learn this important knowledge. The circulatory system consists of the heart and blood and the vessels that transport this blood as well as the hormones and nervous system that affect the flow of...

Up to this day when medical doctors actually advise patients to obtain supplemental treatment from chiropractors for their back pains, a lot of controversy remains behind chiropractic medicine. Probably all these questions have something to do with the fact that the practice does not make use of any type of drug. Sometimes, people even mistake it as the trade of the modern day quack doctor but obviously, they are mistaken. While these chiropractors cannot perform surgeries to relieve back pains, they can administer measures that promote spinal alignment through various massage and therapy techniques in combination with herbal or dietary supplements. It's sometimes ridiculous that quite a lot of...

Medical billing and coding specialists do a number of tasks in health care facilities. Some typical tasks include the registering of patient information, insurance verification and pre-authorization for patients, maintaining patient accounts, coding, and billing insurance claims. Billing specialists may also collect payments from patients and perform collection activities to close out patient accounts. They compile the records of charges for services rendered to patients in a health care facility. The education requirements for billing and coding clerks typically only involve a high school diploma. Many employers however prefer to hire billing and coding clerks that have attended and passed a number...

When people hear the term Unified Theory, some times called the Grand Unified Theory, or even "Theory of Everything," they probably think of it in terms of physics, where a Unified Theory, or single theory capable of defining the nature of the interrelationships among nuclear, electromagnetic, and gravitational forces, would reconcile seemingly incompatible aspects of various field theories to create a single comprehensive set of equations. Such a theory could potentially unlock all the secrets of nature and the universe itself, or as theoretical physicist Michio Katu, puts it "an equation an inch long that would allow us to read the mind of God." That's how important unified theories can be...

If you put an EEG (electroencephalograph) on your head it is easy to measure the electrical activity of your brain as all the synapses fire their electrical charges, like thunder and lightning going on in different parts. Where there is electricity there is also magnetism, which exists in a field form, like the aura of the body. The drawback of studying Physics to get at human consciousness is that scientists who write about Physics are trained to look at one event separately instead of seeing the Whole. Human consciousness is so complex and multi-layered that you cannot really get the full picture from physics, or science in general. It is your own experience of Being and allowing the awareness to...

What separates man from other primates, or indeed other animals? Jacob Bronowski, a mathematician trained in physics, examines the scientific and intellectual history of humankind in his book The Ascent of Man. Though the book is based on the television series aired on BBC in the 1970s, it is far from outdated. Over 30 years after it was first published; The Ascent of Man still invokes pride in our past and instills hope for our future in the reader. Covering a wide canvas from the dawn of man until the modern times, Bronowski examines how man has been the shaper of his surroundings rather than being shaped by it. Every other species has been adapted to fit into a certain ecological niche; they have...

Christmas is almost here. We are being ushered into a beautiful time of acknowledging thoughts of giving thanks, sharing, hope, and salvation. Our modern culture places a high value on spending, gift giving, and overextending ourselves with extra obligations, which can increase stress levels, especially during these uncertain economic times. However, we can still choose to view 'giving' in a different light. The benefits of giving of one's time, finances, kind thoughts and words is really about helping to bring heaven here to earth. The positive emotions associated with giving are very strongly linked with the production of life giving chemicals that circulate within our own bodies. These chemicals...

The question about whether any sort of sun tan is safe is one that's asked constantly and brings a different answer depending on who you ask. Recently U.S. and British researchers reviewed published studies and noticed that both tans and skin cancer start with changes to the DNA that comes from ultraviolet light. "The signals in the cells that induce sun tanning appear to be DNA damage," said Dorothy Bennett, a cell biologist at St. George's University of London. She insists that anything that causes mutations in the cells will increase your risk of cancer. The link between skin cancer and tans that come from the sun or tanning booths is well documented, but the new study presents the idea that even...

Biophysics research strongly believes that the human body is a ball of energy field and if this field is weakened or disturbed, this imbalances can adversely affect the body's natural immune system.This field is disturbed when the body is infected with bacteria or virus and sinus infection can be caused by an allergy or infection due to bacteria or fungi and you can try energy therapy as one type of sinus infection remedy to cure your sinus. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) uses many types of energy therapy to correct such imbalances. One type of energy therapy is qigong which can affect and direct the qi in our body for medical benefit. Qi as Chinese defined is the energy that flows through all...

One of the major problems for patients who must have supplemental oxygen relates to their mobility and this problem can be even greater when traveling. Their options for mobile oxygen units are oxygen tanks that carry liquid oxygen; oxygen cylinders that hold compressed oxygen gas; and finally portable oxygen concentrators that extract oxygen from surrounding air. Over the last few years mobility has been a major focus of manufacturers and as a result of their efforts patients today are much more mobile and therefore freer to move around, to participate in many types of activities that were virtually impossible just a few years ago. Today portable oxygen concentrators have become the most popular...

Summary Complex intracellular inclusions were identified in brain cells of patients with non-inflammatory stealth virus encephalopathy. The cells showed extensive disruption of mitochondria leading to the suggestion that the inclusions were providing an alternative (non-mitochondria) source of cellular energy. Pigmented intracellular inclusions and extra-cellular materials were similarly identified in stealth virus cultures. A characteristic feature of these cultures is the progressive lessening of the cytopathic (cell damaging) effect that coincides with, and is dependent upon, the accumulation of these pigmented materials. Tissue culture and direct patient derived materials exhibit various...

Lactobacillus bulgaricus (L. bulgaricus) is a strain of bacteria used for the production of Bulgarian yogurt and Swiss cheese. It is a very useful and friendly type of microorganism for our gut; it balances out the intestinal flora and promotes the establishment of healthy types of bacteria. Lately it has been the subject of scientific research. Scientists found that L. bulgaricus excreted wide spectrum natural antibiotics in the gut, thus protecting from infections and blocking pathogens from interacting with the intestinal surface. Also it is found to boost our body's immune system in ways completely unknown before as it has the ability to draw away toxins. It has been found to possess...

Urinary infection and bladder weakness ailments are known quite at early times. The early Egyptians  as described in the papyri documents, recommended  herbal treatments to alleviate urinary symptoms, though no detailed description of the ailment itself is given. Both the Roman and Greek medicine applied rather meagre and non-invasive techniques such good diet, bed rest and use of narcotic herbs. The Greeks went further of advocating lithotomy  for  gallstones, abscesses, retention and catheterization. In the Middle Ages however, there was no major advances in the clinical and scientific knowledge of the cause(s) of the disease The therapies included bed rest, blood letting, cupping, leeches and...
