And We have enjoined upon man goodness towards his parents: His mother bore him by bearing strain upon strain, and his weaning was in two years: "[Hence, O man,] be grateful to Me and to your parents; to Me is the eventual coming." (Qur'an, 31:14) Mother's milk is a matchless compound created by Allah to meet the baby's nutritional needs and protect it against possible infections. The balance of the nutriments in mother's milk is at ideal levels and the milk is in the ideal form for the baby's immature body. At the same time, the mother's milk is also very rich in nutrients which accelerate the growth of brain cells and the development of the nervous system. 1 Artificial baby foods prepared with...

But first, let's look at what's going on. Let's say you've explored your inner world quite extensively. You know all kinds of things about the law of attraction, manifestation, emotional and spiritual intelligence, and yet you're still not experiencing life and success in the way you could. What were your goals a year ago for your life and work? What did you actually achieve? Why is it that most people don't achieve the goals they set for themselves? Its interesting that we often 'know' what we need to do next to get to the next level, but we don't do it. Why is that? There is a genetic component for sure: there are aspects of our behavior that are passed down through genes, such as predisposition...

Before getting into who a histotechnician is and what it is they do, it is important to make an important clarification regarding histotechnicians and histotechnologists. In many occasions, the terms histotechnicians and histotechnologists have been used interchangeably. And to a certain extent this is understandable considering that the two roles perform very similar duties. But there is a difference between the two - whereas both roles require rigorous class training before one can join the job market, histotechnologists often undergo significantly more advanced studies that delve deeper into the reasons for slicing up and testing tissue. Histotech's on the other hand are primarily trained to...

The causes of inflamed, itchy and eczema-prone skin vary because there are many types. Healthcare professionals often refer to several different conditions under the same broad category. Further complicating the matter is that some synonyms such as dermatitis are used to describe the condition. In many cases, the underlying cause is an allergy. The allergy-related forms, the symptoms and causes have been detailed in a paper published by the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology. But even this paper does not cover the non-allergic eczemas, of which there are several. If you are affected by one of the eczemas, whether allergy-related or not, this article should help you identify the...

p>The Brain-Gut Connection Have you ever wondered why people get butterflies in the stomach before a job interview or big performance? Or even why people vomit at the thought of something unpleasant or while under severe stress? The reason for these common experiences is that your digestive tract and stomach in particular acts as a second brain. The human digestive tract contains over one million nerve cells… this is about the same amount of nerves found in the spinal chord! In fact, there are more never cells in your digestive system than there is in the entire peripheral nervous system.(1) Your digestive brain and the brain in you skull are linked together via the vagus nerve. The vagus...

The Bible, in Ecclesiastes 11:1-7. - Offers three recommendations as a guide to man's activity. - Presents Meteorological four facts. - Gives three scientific facts.     The Bible offers three recommendations as a guide to man's activity; they are: 1. Cast your bread upon the waters, for you will find it after many days. 2. Give a portion to seven, or even to eight, for you do not know what disaster may happen on earth. 3. In the morning sow your seed, and at evening withhold not your hand, for you do not know which will prosper, this or that, or whether both alike will be good.   The Bible presents four Meteorological facts; they are: 1. He who observes the wind will not sow, and 2. He who...

There seems to be a new kid on the block and his name is glycoscience. If you look on the internet you will see a lot of debate about glycoscience. Is it bunk and hype or is it truly a new breakthrough of which the medical community and the public should take notice? The Study of Glycoscience Glycoscience is a study of complex carbohydrates that can be found on protein surfaces and lipids. Glycoscience is considered a neglected branch of molecular biology. Systems biology, proteomics and genomics are hot subjects of research for biomedicals. These sciences have attracted funding and researchers to legitimatize them. It is thought that at present glycoscience holds a minor role. In the past, the...

Scientists are doing their best to find out the exact causes of schizophrenia and for that they are doing biochemistry studies, molecular biology studies and genetic studies. One study has proved that in those who have schizophrenia a neurochemical imbalance is present. Researchers are studying the neurotransmitters and are testing drugs like antipsychotics on three of the neurotransmitters: dopamine, norepinefrine and serotonin. Scientists also discovered that people with schizophrenia have problems with the coordination between different areas of the brain. Normally when one area activates others decrease their activity but in schizophrenics these areas keep on being active in the same time with...

Beauty has always been in the eye of the beholder. And youth, throughout the ages, has been considered the epitome of beauty. Young looking skin continues to be a huge market worth millions of pounds in the UK every year, as men and women look for new ways to fight the signs of aging skin. As a result, a plethora of anti wrinkle, anti ageing skin care and skin conditions products flood the market on a regular basis. But is this obsession with young looking skin a new phenomenon? The simple answer is no. The ancient Egyptians and the Chinese were the first to document their attempts to halt the relentless march of time, noting the effects of certain types of herbs, mineral treatments, diet and...

Today Hela cells are the most widely cells used in cell biology. These cells where taken from an African lady called Henrietta Lacks in 1951 and sent round the world without her consent. These are the very cells lines that led to the discovery of the polio vaccine. Hela cells are the most widely used cell line in molecular biology labs across the world. The word HeLa is derived from the first two letters of the name Henrietta Lacks. Henrietta Lacks whose cells were cultured had suffered from cervical cancer. Her cells were the first cancer cell-line to survive in artificial culture media and thrive outside the human body. Today, Henrietta Lacks who has contributed so much to science and discovery...

Lactic Acid Bacteria: Bacteria With Health Benefits Probiotics are living bacteria or other microorganisms which are beneficial to health when consumed. Probiotics can be helpful for gastrointestinal infections, irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium are probiotics that have numerous potential therapeutic properties including anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer activities. Recent studies with in vitro cell culture clearly demonstrate the anti-tumor and anti-cancer effects of LAB. Scientific reports indicate that LAB cultures administered to animals inhibit liver, colon, bladder and mammary tumors. (Reference...

As I was couch bound one evening, a 'cute' commerical for an eczema drug appeared. It stated that it treated eczema and that there was no cure for eczema. Needless to say, as a naturopathic medical student, I was furious. There is a cure for eczema. It is called prevention. But that is another issue. The issue I want to address here: Elidel, the 'cute' eczema drug, causes cancer in three different animal species. That is not cute. Protopic also causes cancer in the same animal species. The FDA advised doctors to prescribe Elidel or Protopic only if all else failed for eczema. Do not use long term and do not use on children under 2. What are the advisories on Elidel and Protopic: - Do not use on 2...

Biotechnology and the world of colours have always been intertwined. Nature's hues and tints are captured in their natural or synthetic state in a variety of market products. The flower markets of natural blood-red roses and gene-designed blue roses recently released in Japan are apt examples. To-date notwithstanding the awe-inspiring snip and tuck techniques of genetic engineering, the legendary 'Black Tulip' of French author Alexander Dumas still remains the 'Holy Grail of the Tulip world'. Several types from 'Tulip Queen of Night' (1944) to T.'Black Hero' (1984) constitute 'the category of the 'blackest of the officially 'purple' tulips'. Nature's wealth of colours have inspired celebrity...

Viruses cause a number of economically important diseases in animals and birds. Some viruses of animals can cause human infection or can mutate to give rise to human infection. The SARS virus, which came from an animal source, led to an outbreak of human infection and highlights the significance of viruses that are harboured in animals. Influenza viruses, which persist in their natural bird host, can sometimes infect humans. The study of animal viruses contributes to our understanding of viral infection in general. (Reference: Animal Viruses: Molecular Biology ISBN: 978-1-904455-22-6) Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) is a picornavirus and is the cause of an acute...

Cancer cannot live in an alkaline body; however, an acidic body is where cancer and all other diseases thrive. It is extremely important to maintain an alkaline body pH level of 7.3 (pH or Potential Hydrogen is the measurement of hydrogen-ion concentration of any solution - the higher the pH the more alkaline). Cancer can only thrive in a low-oxygen state. Alkaline tissues hold 20 times more oxygen than acidic tissues and this oxygen rich environment is critical for maintaining health and reducing the risk of disease. In 1931 Dr. Otto Warburg, a German cancer researcher field of study was cell biology, won a Nobel Prize for his research on cancer. In his research he stated that: "cancer cannot live...

Getting into any industry may prove a difficult task at a time when unemployment is on the rise, but the pharmaceutical industry offers numerous different paths that could attract all kinds of people. The scope of careers in the sector is possibly one of the major draws to it, but what is the best way to a career in the pharmaceutical industry? Well, it probably depends on what part of the industry the applicant wants to get involved in. Margaret Holbrough, careers consultant at Graduate Prospects, said that the main route into the research and development side of pharmaceuticals is through a science degree, usually biological sciences, chemistry or a combination of the two. Maths and IT degrees are...

Intro With an ever increasing demand for health care, more and more students are considering a career as a pharmacist. Before you make that decision, you should become aware of the requirements and career opportunities available for pharmacists. As a pharmacy school student, I have not only experienced the application process but also researched many aspects of the pharmacy profession. According to a May 2008 BLS report, there are 266,410 pharmacists in the United States who earn an average of $50.13/hour ($104,620 annually). Salaries vary based on geographical location, employer, and other factors. Many newly registered pharmacists report huge signing bonuses in more rural or in demand areas. As...

Scientific law is closely related to the concept of scientific theory. A scientific law describes an observation in nature, and a scientific theory explains it. The term "scientific law" is commonly known as the natural sciences, thus, the term is used interchangeably with the term physical laws. The biological sciences also have scientific laws, such as Mendelian inheritance and the Hardy-Weinberg principle found in genetics. The social sciences also contain scientific laws. Ehrenberg, Andrew S C (1993), "Even the Social Sciences Have Laws," Nature, 365 (30), 385. These natural laws include: Perpetual Transmutation; Relativity; Vibration and Attraction; Polarity; Rhythm; Cause and Effect; and...

Inverteds (as they are called) got their name because the recognized standard - the upright microscope - works in a specific way, and is the most easily recognized orientation of a microscope. Upright microscopes look down at specimens with light source below it. These are the types of microscopes usually used by medical technologies doing your blood work; inverted ones, on the other hand, look up the specimen with light sources above the specimen. Although the equipment was first introduced in the 19th century, it saw use in the observation of marine life only during the first years of the 20th century. During World War II, the inverted microscope was used to analyze solid, heavy metals like iron...

Because pre-med students come from a number of different undergraduate programs and areas of the country, it is understandable why there was the development of a standardized way to compare individual students wishing to gain entrance into medical school. While GPA is one determinate, it is not the only consideration. Moreover, GPAs are not offered on a countrywide standard, various classes will present differences and well as grading systems from separate schools will vary. In a search for a standardized way to test potential students the MCAT was developed. MCAT scoring allows medical schools to look at various students based on the same criteria. The five and three-quarters of an hour test is...

-link"> Author of over 200 publications. Former President of the Teratology Society among other accomplishments. Professor Johnson began to take an interest in the scientific signs in the Qur'ân at the 7th Saudi Medical Conference (1982), when a special committee was formed to investigate scientific signs in the Qur'ân and Hadîth. At first, Professor Johnson refused to accept the existence of such verses in the Qur'ân and Hadîth. But after a dicussuion with Sheikh Zindanî he took an interest and concentrated his research on the internal as well as external development of the fetus. "...in summary, the Qur'ân describes not only the development of external form, but emphasises also the internal...

Although synthetic insecticides are proved to be effective in pest control its frequent use causes major problems such as health hazards either by inhalation or ingestion of pesticide or its residue along with the food crop. Due to the public concern over the toxicity & environmental impact of conventional synthetic insecticides a novel kind of mosquito control is necessary. Genitically modified mosquitoes & exploration and utilization of naturally occurring products for combating harmful mosquitoes are the two possible ways to attain this goal. It turns out that analysis of the embryonic development of wild type mosquitoes is important in order to accomplish exogenous DNA injections...

Recently, a 140-million-year-old fossil called Shenzhouraptor sinensis was discovered in the Yixian region of China. According to the evolutionary paleontologist Ji Qiang, this fossil was a missing link between dinosaurs and birds. The fact is, however, that this fossil possesses features that clash with the evolutionists' claims about the origin of birds. Not just this fossil, but also the whole body of paleontological data on the subject is at odds with the evolutionary theory. "The evolution of birds", like other claims made by Darwinism, is no more scientific than a fairy tale. Shenzhouraptor sinensis, The Impossible Transitional Form Evolutionists suggest that Shenzhouraptor sinensis was a...

Imagine spending a portion of your summer on a yacht sailing the crystalline waters of the British Virgin Islands - learning tropical sailing, scuba diving, and marine biology - from some very experienced, knowledgeable and friendly folks. This is a different kind of summer camp - a moving, "live-aboard" camp - called SeaTrek. Here, high school and college aged students live and play onboard one of several 45-foot catamaran sailing yachts equipped with the latest safety equipment and onboard technology for 21 days. Under the watchful eyes of a professional staff, SeaTrekers take full control of their live-aboard yachts while learning seamanship, sailing, scuba diving and marine science. This hands...

This is one of those surprising things that can make you leaner and get you pointed in the right direction. There is an interesting study that 37-year-old scientist Johannes Bauer, Ph.D. New to the biology department at SMU carried out how calorie restriction affects the life longevity of the flies. The results of the study where surprising but clearly indicate that eating less is better. Bauer feed his flies every other day with a mixture of sugar and yeast. He's found that when the Drosophila Melanogaster fruit fly consumed 30 to 50 percent fewer calories a day they lived 10 to 40 percent longer than their natural lifespan and this the equivalent in humans of living 120 years or more. Bauer said...

A fabulous set of files to have in your classroom/school office are called 'tickler files,' including ones labeled January - December. Here are some ways you can use this type of tickler files to support your follow-up. 1. February is Black History month. Each year, you strive to make that month have a powerful impact on your students, nearly all of whom are white. As you find articles, think of ideas, etc. that will be helpful in your planning for that month, you drop them in the February hanging folder. If the item is too large to fit in the folder (e.g., a notebook, or a full journal with ideas) you just drop a follow-up form in the folder telling where the larger item is located. 2. Three of...

Millions of men and women suffer from various forms of alopecia (hair loss). The most common type of alopecia is androgenetic alopecia where active androgen, 5 alpha-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) harmful effects on the target tissue (genetically programmed scalp hair follicles) that results in short, fine, miniaturized hairs. Currently available drugs to treat alopecia are indicated for other disease processes because no other agents do exist; some have severe side-effects and many are minimally effective. Many of these prescription drugs were not originally indicated for alopecia, and have not been tested in clinical trials to assess their safety, efficacy, and toxicity. These agents continue to be...

Look the part. That's what people from my grandmother's generation used to say. It meant looking like the professionals who belonged to the group that you wanted to be a part of. It also meant carrying yourself, through your demeanor, in a manner that's consistent with the expectations of the role you play in business. Over the years, things have become, in a word, relaxed. Too relaxed for people from my grandmother's generation. Casual or dress down Fridays have permeated the work week creating a blur between casual and business attire, bringing with it a casual attitude toward professionalism. I remember wearing ties during my interviews with small companies after working corporate jobs. Depending...

The bigger colleges and schools have it so easy. Their names are immediately recognizable and trusted by not only your local area, but by individuals nationwide.

The idea behind hydroponics kits involves growing plants without using soil but instead in a nutrient-enriched liquid. Sometimes preferred over the conventional method of using soil, this method of gardening is becoming popular because the gardener maintains control over the nutrients and oxygen the plant receives. Under these controlled conditions, the plants grow faster. Hydroponics systems are, simply put, a method of indoor growing plants using a mineral nutrient solution instead of just a soil. Hydroponics kits are also used a standard technique in biology research and teaching. The process allows for easier fertilization since it is possible to use an automatic timer for fertilizing plants...

The offspring of Jay Keasling's synthetic biology research and vision, Emeryville, CA-based Amyris Biotechnologies has made a double impact. First, the company, with more than $40 million of backing from the Bill Gates' Institute for One World Health charity, developed a microbial route to the anti-malarial compound artemisinin. In and of itself this work was a stunningly successful scientific achievement, and the resulting process has been licensed to Sanofi-Aventis for low-cost manufacturing and distribution in the third world. But how does that relate to biofuels? Well, producing the anti-malarial drug relied on the engineering of a metabolic pathway to produce a key intermediate that is in the...

There really is a huge movement to find ingredients that work well in replacing wheat flour (barley and rye as well) where it has always held the monopoly in taste and texture. What in the not too distant past was tough to find, is now readily available for both the home cook and the ready-to-eat purchaser. Gluten intolerance and the more serious condition known as celiac disease has been with us since antiquity but not understand and often misdiagnosed. Research has intensified in the past 10 years and this situation is now recognized as a swelling problem in the gluten ingesting populace. Although most don't know what is wrong with them, about 1 percent of the world population has celiac disease...

Recently, after the Indonesia scientists tracked a sea turtle for a long time, they found that there are "Expressways" in the ocean world just like that in the land. This "expressway" can let the sea turtle arrive at destination within a shorter time. It is introduced by the scientists that the finding can be helpful to ocean biology research in the future. World nature foundation and Indonesia Wodaena university were responsible for this research engineering. They marked a female green sea turtle named Ana, and track it along the way. The itinerary of this female turtle includes many sea areas between Indonesia and Australia. It starts from eastern Java in Indonesia, traverses Indian ocean and...

Over the past 20 years, autoimmune disease research has discovered a related set of factors which link all autoimmune diseases. One of these factors is intestinal permeability. In a normal human gut, the cells lining the intestinal wall act as a barrier that allows only properly digested fats, proteins, and starches to pass through and enter the bloodstream. There are several methods of nutrient transport. The first two, diffusion, and a mechanism called active transport move vitamins, minerals and normal nutritive molecules through the cells on the wall of the intestine. However, substances can also pass beyond the intestinal wall through the spaces between the intestinal cells. Normally, these...

Colds, influenza and other viruses, diseases, pathogens, toxins, germs, bacteria, what do all these little nasties have in common? This is what our bodies deal with everyday. As we go about our daily routines and business we come into contact with these invaders, most of the time without even realizing it. Our immune system fights them off to the best of its ability but, winning the war depends on the capability and quality of equipment soldiers are fighting with. Why should our bodies be different considering what it fights off everyday? Some people and agencies say that immune boosters do no good. That there is nothing we can do, save taking multiple prescription drugs when we are older, to boost...

My Story I bought Culturelle some years ago at the recommendation of a friend, who was giving this to her autistic son to treat his leaky gut syndrome. Costing approximately SGD40 for a 30 day supply, this product did not come cheap. But I decided to give it a try anyway, hoping that it would ease the digestive troubles I was experiencing at that time. To cut the long story short, I did find relief from my indigestion three days after taking Culturelle , but did not understand or appreciate why or what makes it so effective then. What Places Culturelle Apart From Other Probiotics Supplement? Culturelle is a probiotics supplement that contains the Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (strain ATCC 53103), a...

Are yearly vaccinations good for you dog or cat? The short answer is NO. Martin Goldstein, DVM: "I think that vaccines...are leading killers of dogs and cats in America today." Pet vaccinations started back in the 1950's. There wasn't any formal testing done on how long a pet is immunized with specific vaccines. And - at the time - no one believed there was any risk with vaccines. So it became customary to do yearly "boosters" or re-vaccinations. That practice was publicly challenged in the 1990's. Although there was (and is) no requirement to report adverse reactions, there was mounting evidence that vaccinations were creating a lot of problems for pets ranging from minor to death. In 1992, Dr...

While at the Toronto Marathon Race Expo, I was asked: "Why does running a half or full marathon increase susceptibility to colds?" There is a large body of research that shows that moderate exercise reduces the incidence and severity of a cold or flu but intense or prolonged exercise increases the risk and severity of infection. The research I found most relevant to runners and endurance athletes was conducted by noted exercise immunologist, Dr. David Nieman, Director of the Human Performance Laboratory at Appalachian State University. (Lance Armstrong has worked with Dr. Neiman and has been tested in his lab. If he's good enough for Lance, he's good enough for me). Dr. Neiman found that running or...
