I'm curious if anyone has heard of this. I saw a history channel documentary about the future. In it, futurist/ theoretical physicist Michio Kaku (I am not sure if that is exactly how his name is spelled) described clothing that could help keep one alive if they are injured or resuscitate them if they have a heart attack. It could also apply pressure to a wound to help slow bleeding, and contact medical services if one is knocked-out. I think this would be great technology if implemented, has anyone heard anything about this? Does the technology has a specific term? Are there any new articles/books/information/studies pertaining to this topic? Furthermore there a…

Hello, Last weekend I got a splinter in my finger. I hardly noticed it at all until a few days later when it started to hurt a little and the skin around it turned red. I ignored for the longest time, but it kept getting worse. Now my finger is all puffed up. It's dark red at the center, a circle of white puss around it, and a large area (about a centimeter and a half in diameter) of red - almost purple - around that. I hurts to bend my finger and it hurts to touch it. Is this something I should worry about? Go see a doctor about? Will it heal itself in time? I also want to know, just our of pure curiocity, what my system is doing. How does it get rid of splin…

hello,i am curious about the physiological thing that happens when we sleep very late at night,for a long period , a black color appears around eyes!!!!! why?

So, I take a vitamin every day. I've been taking one of those senior vitamins, despite the fact that I'm only ~3 decades old. I like them because they have such awesome B vitamins for memory, and I've noticed how much better my mind is at recall since I began taking them. Here's what I wonder, though. Am I causing myself some sort of problem by taking old people vitamins (like Centrum Silver), despite not being old? I am a Type 1 diabetic, and have been for more than 20 years, so maybe it's not so bad to take vitamins which help with the effects of aging... I don't know... So... I just thought I'd ask. I take a senior vitamin because I like the huge surplus o…

what ascorbate stands for wether it is a vitamine B12 or what?

Does anyone know of any studies of the effects on unborn babies, babies and young children of regular exposure to marijuana? What is the medical evidence of harm, both in the short term and long term? I also expect there to be plenty social and economical problem associated with parents use of such drugs. Some of these I am all too aware of. It is the medical issues I am thinking about.

Hi , Look at this news I came across from one of the resources Announcing the first HelpDesk for GCP in the world. A much needed platform to promote GCP awareness and education. Proper clinical research is the only means to bring modern science and technology to diseased patients. With the increase in the number of clinical trials worldwide, it's very important that patients, clinicians, investigators, clinical coordinators, monitors and rest of clinical crew involved in the process is completely aware of all GCP guidelines to ensure ethical practices. GCPhelpdesk.com promotes open questions, debates, forums, and education. Login to www.gcphelpdesk.co…

I am trying to work through an idea and would be most greatful to any info or knowledge people can share. I was wondering if it is possible to monitor the electrical impulse sent down the optic nerve from the eye?

I found a great Oncology CME webcast to earn some CME Credits for FREE. http://www.cmenetworks.com/cme/10821/1/Online-Oncology-CME-Personalized-Therapies-for-Breast-Cancer-Oncology-Learning-Center-March-9-2009---March-9-2010/Page1.html This webcast covers the new concept in the diagnosis and treatment for breast cancer, integrating molecular diagnostics, personalized surgical and radiation techniques and chemotherapy, hormonal therapy and targeted therapeutics for improving breast cancer patient care.

about 8 months ago i developed muffled hearing in one ear that turned into ringing. then about 2 months ago i began to have a strange situation. at night time when lying back to watch tv i would get very hypersensitive to different noises that would come either on the tv show or in the room i was in that would startle me and make me on edge. i also have had the situation where when i am relaxed at night and trying to go to sleep i will get sudden outbursts of sound in that ear almost like a magnified sound of the ringing that lasts maybe a second. this repeats itself over and over as long as i am lying back in a relaxed state or going to sleep. i have had an mri which has…

Suppose we define 2 vision modus, as a priori function of the brain : modus A : both eyes are use together to count a moving point modus C : every eye is used alternatively, very quickly (CT) , or A seeing at infinity (CI) Then a) if a point is in the region seen by only 1 eye, then S says 1 point, A says 1 point b) if a point is in the region seen by 2 eyes, if focalised, A says 1, S says 2. Is this possible that in split brain operation this could happen ? We could imagine a PNL program to change this, maybe in the corpus. I imagined that A can learn from C modus, that is an object, let say a banknote is not seeable in both eye, that maybe th…

This came up in the IRC channel, BoTox is botulinum toxin with an LD50 in the range of 1ng/kg and is the most toxic substance produced in nature. obviously not something people would pay to have injected into their face... oh wait... so, bearing in mind its toxicity, how much is actually in one of the injections? i tried the obligatory google but was overwhelmed by the guff of beauty sites that make less sense than ydoaps after he's been juggling nuclear waste for too long while eating bags of sugar.

I trust that there are many of you on this board who are in school and majoring in the sciences…especially if you want to get into medicine, and I am sure there are some of you that already are doctors, biologists, and medical researchers… Well I just wanted to get your opinion on something that I have been looking into for the past year and using myself. I am a 2nd year college student at the University of New Orleans and majoring in biology, and hopefully I will be getting into a premed program…but I am still undecided. Anyway, around the time I was 16, I started looking online for anything that could help me get rid of or help me fight a really annoying virus.…

You agree that for male, masturbation up to pollution (orgasm), liberate genetic material....so it's quite forbidden. How about women ? If a woman masturbate, it should not come out ovocytes...so, if there is a liquid, what's this liquid ? Can we find this liquid somewhere ?

To get straight to the point, I got caught in a storm yesterday and got pretty wet and cold. Once I got inside, both my ears were sort of like when you yawn, except permanently. It was like that for most of that day, and at the beginning it was actually painful, although that went away. This morning I got up and my left ear was fine, but my right ear is still experiencing the same thing. I've since figured out that if I hold my breath and try to exhale (ie. elevate the pressure in my head) it helps until I let my breath out, rarely for longer periods. What really helps is if I lean forward, so my head is low. That removes the "open" feeling for up to a minute or two after…

Homeopathic 'remedies' are comprised of WATER. At normal doses, there is literally no medicine in the medicine. The analogy of a pinch of salt in all of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans is a valid estimate. It is mostly administered in pill form, where a drop of water is placed onto a sugar pill, or pure form, where it is sprayed into the mouth or consumed like syrup. Either way, why does anyone buy into this at all? Further, why do I see it in pharmacies?! I mean, I understand why some people may believe in the stuff (the world would be an amazing place if homeopathy was the craziest thing anyone believed in), but how in the hell is it among normal medicine on the shelves…

I am wondering wether or not i have allergies, a sinus infection, or something else. My symptoms include: -nasal congestion -pressure in the upper sinuses above my eyes -darker mucus lined with a tiny amount of blood thats visible sometimes -a productive for the most part cough My symptoms change on me too, right now, im barely feeling anything, and ive been conciously trying to clear my sinuses for a couple days now. At the begining, it was postnasal discharge in the mix, and alot of mucus just coming out and i couldnt stop it, then, later on, just a while ago, the mucus i coughed up was chunky alot of times. gross. My questions, {other than what do i ha…

Hi I am in high school in New Zealand and I am hoping to get into med school in a couple of years. Does anyone know any websites that will help me prepare? (I want to get as far as i can) Thanks please guys I really need some help

Hi, I appear to have come down with some sort of minor illness. I have a slightly sore throat, stuffy nose, and mild headaches. I'm not seriously inconvenienced by it in the day, but at night it's near-impossible to sleep for more than half an hour even if I stay up far later than usual. I'm sure some Nyquil would help me sleep through the night, but would it help me get better soon or could it actually slow the healing process? I haven't taken anything yet because I don't mind being rather uncomfortable if it means I'll get better soon, but I'd hate to put myself through unnecessary (though mild) suffering all because of some irrational fear of modern medicine. …

Does anyone know why we say the babies comes in the cabbage or speak of honey and flowers ? And biologically, has the phallus to enter the uterus for a fecondation to be more probable ?
