hi, I have written abstract of my interdisciplinary project and it had been sent. really although I do not know all the requirements to take patent for that journal, it is clear that this is scientific project and I already expressed in abstract that the intention of project would be taking better results than in process. I need & request these question's answer below ; -->> how many times the device (which is being used in treatment of cancer at radioteraphy part) , can be opened-closed/reopened ?? ( give please numeric answer as per second or per minute.-->> this question is highly important!!..) -->> how much does it take a total tim…

--->> NOTE : this thread contain only asking guidance with giving supplement of defining personal skills. I have been studying for scientific projects for a a half of years. my the first project is almost ready. I am trying to take patent. I am mathematician.I think it would/may be probable/possible to solve such catastrophic diseases (such as :cancer,tetanus ,smallpox, ..etc) via supporting their treatments with cryptologic studies. but realy I am unsure whether it would be well worth or not ,here are my logical reasons to say this; *** currently I am MSc student at mathematics. but I have break for a while (quitted) and I do not want to continue. I am s…

Sometimes an antigen will bind to surface antibodies on the B cell, but it will not activate the B cell..why?

http://www.ecorazzi.com/2015/02/26/study-sugar-is-eight-times-more-addictive-than-cocaine/ And just, if not more, dangerous to our health, yet one is illegal and the other is freely advertised/promoted ubiquitously throughout the world. Is the mighty dollar really so powerful as to seduce the world with such a drug and are we all equally culpable; given our collective need to accumulate imagined wealth?

Not sure if this should go into the Biology section or here. Does anyone have an approximate for how much of each mineral/vitamin a human needs? I am guessing that the relationship between that amount and the weight of the person would be linear, but I don't know, and I don't know if such values even exist. Thank you, Lev

Hello, Orthomolecular therapy, biochemistry, mathematical biology, dietitian, physician, toxic substance specialist, neurological/gastric who knowswhat?...idk Hoping to get some opinions here from those established in cutting edge medical research and application, because im having touble establishing what is what I do not know much about these fields so please take my generalization with a grain of salt here...but arnt they all the same background education? I want to help people stop being sick and start understanding and practicing health. This idea is very roughly developed i know, but because of my affinity for math and science and passion for nutri…

Hello As you know SP cells possess CSC-like phenotypes, just wonder why verapamil (which known a drug-resistance cancer) can blocks SP cells? Whats the reason that this drug can diagnosis SP cells from MP cells(main population)?

Are they all folluculitides? Can an inflamed epidermoid cyst be considered an ectopic intradermal infundibular folliculitis?

What are the similarities and differences between adrenaline and cortisol action? One is the acute stress hormone and the the the chronic stress hormone. Please review my comparison to see if I am on the right track: Muscle: adrenaline induces lactate production and glycogenolysis, cortisol induces myolysis. Adipose: both induce lipolysis. Liver: adrenaline induces glycogenolysis, cortisol induces gluconeogenesis from lactate and muscle breakdown. Peripheral insulin resistance: both increases insulin resistance peripherally. It's kinda interesting both antagonises insulin to increase blood sugar level, but adrenaline achieves it using glycogen breakdo…

Hi, Can someone tell me What is the main difference between cancer stem cells and cancer cells? Thanks

What is the effect on the acetylcholine concentration in the synapse after administration of an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor?

Hi. The typical sphygmomanometer has always been elusive for me to comprehend how it works, even with 'good' hydraulics knowledge. The inflating bladder and the presence of pressures in an 'arm' counteract somehow and the result is a valid reading, tossing in the mix the sthetoscope... I think. IF a manometer with the proper scale was hydraulically 'connected' to an artery, as tapping a existing/in-use intravenous needle on the patient arm; would such blood pressure be able to be permanently read/displayed/monitored in real time instead of the seemingly archaic process of pumping-ausculting-deflating periodically ? Would such way show the high and low heartbeat …

Focussing on the 10 hallmarks of cancer, more particularly in relation to the characteristic of evading immune destruction. This being that tumour cells evolved the trait to appear normal, therefore escape being forced to undergo apoptosis and being destroyed by various leukocytes. This is where immunotherapy steps in, adopting various methods to strengthen the immune system to recognise various cancers cells depending on the method used. As this technique seems quite promising, should this be the future focus?, and secondly what if a tumour is yet do evolve this characteristic? To me there is always going to be a need for a variety of techniques, I jus…

Just a quick question to anyone who might have the answers for me. Over many years I have been to a few different doctors and had some studies done, most of them involved hours worth of brain activity monitoring. During these tests, they would hook me up to a large amount of cathodes and have me perform different tasks, they would also ask me to close my eyes, open them, blink, move my eyes around, think of different things, and even watched me while I slept, they also used a bright light to shine in my eyes and flash at different speeds with my eyes both open & shut. After many visits and monitoring of my brain activity they brought me into a room with a …

I see the maze procedure indicated for catheter refractory atrial fibrillation, is it performed for ventricular arrhythmia too? From what I read poststabilisation management of VT/VF goes from radio-frequency ablation to ICD. Is it not somewhat palliative? No room for a more curative cardiothoracic approach in between? http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/159075-treatment#d9

http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/neurology_neurosurgery/centers_clinics/restless-legs-syndrome/what-is-rls/causes.html Unexpectedly, Iron deficiency can cause restless leg syndrome. Supposedly iron may be needed by the neuromelanin cells in the substantial nigra to synthesise dopamine. How does this work? Is iron a co-factor for tyrosine hydroxylase or dopa decarboxylase? Also does this imply iron supplements may help extrapyramidal akathisia when using antipsychotics?

If so, are there any negative side effects from running too much? Does running increase one's oxygen uptake? Additionally, would free radical intake increase and thereby be harmful to your body?

How is the PPRF wired for vertical gaze, and how does this apply in Supranuclear Ophthalmoplegia? Can't find a good clear explanation for this piece of neuroanatomy, would really appreciate if someone can describe. Thank you!

Please expose/share techniques you know, experienced, heard of as more effective, clever, odd, complex, simple... them all.

A post coronary operation patient in recovering stage connected to a intravenous bag was advised to minimize as possible the ingestion of salty food. Does administering ClNa solution conflicts with the 'prescription' ? Or should the solution had been potassium chloride. ? Is it intra-venous or intra-arterial or does not matter ?

Hi,guys. I am here to ask for your opinion about the cells should be used to test for anti-obesity properties (in-vitro studies). From what i've found, there are two types of cell line that can be use for anti-obesity properties. They are 3T3 L1 cells and OP9 cells. Can somebody tell me which one of these cells is better?

Does alopecia affects only the head ? What about facial hair, rest of body ?

Michael Moore almost died. Got pneumonia was in ICU. http://www.salon.com/2016/02/10/michael_moore_could_have_died_last_week_trying_to_get_back_to_just_breathing_is_enough_of_a_burden/ How could some one this young get pneumonia? People that get pneumonia are old people and people with weaken immune system. And people in hospital or nursing home are more likely to get it The public normaily do not get pneumonia same with young people. How could this be? Could be that being overweight and a sedentary lifestyle have some thing to do with it? Or that he has other health problems?

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/12/151216162426.htm Are these artificial colors the machine ads to image in real time scanning and viewing? Or is machine able to see real color. Like colored radiographic images, such as X-rays, mammograms and CT scans. I know when you look at say a kids books or high school books on the human body the artificial color is added to gray image after the scan to help visualize the image to the viewer.

It was not like this before!!! But now they say 1 in 4 people in US will get cancer and in the UK 1 in 3 will get cancer. They say if it continues in the UK in the future 1 in 2 people will get cancer. Why is cancer on the rise? What is causing this? Why was it not like this before say 50 years ago, 100 years ago or even 200 years ago?
