Scientists speculate that the highest risk factor for a kidney disease common to five Balkan nations is a plant commonly used in various Chinese herbal medicines. First described in Bulgaria in the scientific literature in the 1950s, Balkan Endemic Nephropathy (BEN) caused individuals, usually aged in their 50s, to develop symptoms of uremia, a buildup of nitrogenous waste products in the blood that signal renal failure. The irreversible renal disease would lead to death. Certain villages have a high BEN prevalence, but other villages only a few kilometers apart may be unaffected. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/09/140930111421.htm "The toxicological and…

http://motherboard.vice.com/blog/russian-billionaire-dmitry-itskov-plans-on-becoming-immortal-by-2045 I have come across this initiative started by the Russian billionaire Dmitry Itskov: http://2045.com Is there any chance at all of this being scientifically doable in the near future? Is it a hoax?

What are the Advantages and Disadvantages of Mortality Salience? Personally I'm 17 and as far as I recall I've be death salient(not so sure if that's the right term) ever since I was 13. I wasn't aware of Mortality Salience until now, in the past I thought it was just paranoia. Having learnt of this are there any published research articles on case studies about mortality salience among children? and overall if all people or a group of people became mortality salient, what will be the advantages, disadvantages and impact of it to our society? I'm not so sure if this falls in the category of Psychology or Sociology

We are born with the capacity to rely on our cognition over time naturally, Is this capacity somehow diminished with the advent of secondary education, secondary meaning,(Schooling) out side of sense intake and inherent thinking capabilities. And does this education somehow form limits to our inherent cognition?

Does anyone drink extract from hornet? Wasn't it used by athletes as a dope? Or maybe it still is?

Hello, I am writing a dissertation on the physiological implications of the Ramadan fast, and I have read in several sources that pre-loading the body with salt and water just before the fast (at dawn) could help slow down dehydration during the day. I don't get how this is possible... Don't we have a very fine system to regulate salt and water, and flush out any excess? I thought excess salt/water would increase the GFR, and activate the atrial natriuretic peptide and suppress aldosteron and vasopressin, thus effectively ridding plasma of all the 'pre-loaded' salt and water... What are your thoughts on this? Thanks in advance.

sorry if i am in the wrong dept. for this but i was wondering what frequency your ears are? also to help answer what cartilidge and tissue resonates. thanks.

Ok, I'm not sure but I think i am developing appendicitis. The only symptom I have come across is the pain starting in the navel and going to the lower right abdomen. Should I go to the doctors or wait to see if it goes away (meaning it isn't the early stages if appendicitis)

Looking for information about contratripitans.

Is it okay to be immunized multiple times. Apparently my medical records don't exist.

There has been some research into using MRI scans of the brain to communicate through the brain using patterns in brain scans and such(neuron interactions, etc.). Here is an idea I had. If there was a way to determine how neurons interact in the brain and developing an algorithm that encompasses the interactions of neurons in the brain, and an MRI could scan the patterns that exist in the brain, could there be a way to imitate the person's mind on a computer simulation? And to be able to communicate or interact with the simulation we would have to determine how neurons interact when someone hears, speaks, tastes, smells.etc. Of course, this is easier said and done…

Its an odd combination I realize, but I'm currently a podiatry student and most research in podiatry is in the field of biomechanics. I have 2 years of experience in researching Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphomas but relating this to podiatry would be difficult since lymphomas in the axial skeleton are rare. So I'm trying to think outside the box... I would love a research idea that combines oncology and podiatry. Any ideas?

A recent study here into cancer rates has shown steady increases in cancer. Projections indicate that the rate of cancer will double by 2040.

I have to design a website advertising Transdermal drug delivery systems. Can somebody explain abit about what they are and their uses.

I remember hearing about this many years ago, and now I'm curious if any progress in this domain was made recently. From what I'm hearing, it's been a struggle for the medical community to discover how to allow the body to regrow lost organs and limbs. Which obviously, would be the most awesome thing to happen for people who had faulty organs removed or lost limbs in accidents. It was said that lizards provide clues regarding this, because if something cuts off their tail they will eventually grow a perfect new one. Earth worms are even more fascinating and even scary in this sense, since I often heard that cutting a worm in half will cause it to become two worms, eac…

If I understand drugs are small molecules that activates or inhibits target proteins and results in a therapeutic benefit to the patien.So why do drugs have side effects? Drug is small molecules that are shape of proteins of they interact and therefore will bind to it.So why are there side effects? May be I'm confusing the future of target drugs with how drugs work? One of the main problem with diseasees , illnesses and Chemotherapy is side effects. And if I understand it is easy to make drugs , but very hard to make drugs that don't have side effects. That take cancer for example , it is easy to come up with chemotherapy !!! But very hard to come up up wi…

I believe this study needs to get more publicity. We are never going to be able to rid the world of vaccination conspiracy theorists but at least we can educate more of the general public. It's unfortunate that there has been few news stories on this study even though it pretty definitively indicates there is no association. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24814559

so for the last two days i get this feeling of burning inside with heat. as such i check my temperature which is between 101/102. no symptoms of fever like aches, nausea, chills, shiver. after staying under air-conditioner for an hour the temp. drops to 98. i have to mention that i have been suffering from fever for the last 10-11 days. the doctor carried out tests and diagnosed pneumonia for the reason of fever; as such prescribed antibiotics. and there are times when i get the symptoms of fever & temp rises. but i really need to know is there an even remote possibility of having temp as high as 102 & not feeling feverish? thanks.
