what does IMAGING SCIENCE mean in medical science?
Answers:
Imaging science covers many branches of investigate procedures It is None- invasive / safe and effective .MRI ( mag netting image resonance)
is a way to view every part of the body in thin slices
Very useful to detect tumours and other abnormalities within the body CAT scan often used in cardiac investigations . as MRI but not as good imaging as MRI. scan --- is used to monitor babies development and organs within the body, Xrays
Will take pictures of hard structures and detect abnormalities eg. fractures
opaquac dye is sometimes given and Xrayed toy show irregularities in some internal structures ,
Mostly producing images of the inside the human body. The area varies from X-rays to 2-photon spectroscopy (I think latter is still in development). The endoscopy is imaging science too as it produces an image of the human insides. The goal of it today is to be less invasive.Hope this helps
Nuclear magnetic resonance scans, also known as CAT scans and magnetic resonance imaging.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/nuclear_mag.
imaging science includes all those procedures or test that are used to take images of the organs or a body like CT,MRI, Ultrasound, xray, nuclear medicine. It also includes all the procedures that are involved with it like ct, mri, ultrasound related biopsies.
A way to gather data from the body, well images anyway. Fluoroscopy, cmt, mri, etc are all imaging mediums.
what does I.A.T. mean on a death certificate written as part of reason for death? Certificate dated 1920.?
it looks like it says 1. I.A.T. lip right (4 days)
2. Septacaemia (5days)
Answers:
The only thing I can think of is intra-arterial thrombosis which means a form a blood clot in an artery but I don't really know for sure.
The other option would be that it is shorthand for iatrogenic which means a condition created by the treatment started by the Doctors (a side-effect)
As intraoperative autologous transfusion was not widely used in 1920 I do not believe that this could be the cause of death

1, some sort of fit/seizure resulting in vomiting/foaming at the mouth/Grimicing2, blood poisoningI think thats what they mean for IAT you could always ask your GP
It stands for Interoperative Autotransfusion.Intraoperative autologous transfusion (IAT) is a method for blood conservation that has been shown to be effective in reducing the requirement for blood transfusion.

what does hystionic mean?
my co-worker told me he was hystionic, and i asked if he didn't mean 'histrionic' he said no, and to look it up in a medical dictionary.so to spare me a trip to B%26N, what does hystionic mean? i cannot find the definition anywhere online.thank you
Answers:
I think it is histionic..and the word just means relating to any body tissue (histo- is a prefix for something relating to tissue). Maybe he did mean histrionic..
G'day Hfse,Thanks for the question.I assume he meant that you were hystrionic. The American Heritage Dictionary on Yahoo defines histrionic as: 1. Of or relating to actors or acting.
2. Excessively dramatic or emotional; affected.It is derived from Late Latin histrinicus, from Latin histri , histrin-, actor, probably of Etruscan origin. That is probably the sense that your co-worker meant it.There is also a histrionic personality disorder. The American Heritage Dictionary on Yahoo! defines it as A psychological disorder characterized by excessive emotionality and attention-seeking behavior.Your co-worker is obviously mistaken. You get very few results from a search engine for histionic and what you do get is typos for histrionic.You should seek to reconcile with your co-worker tomorrow so that you can settle any differences between you. You don't want to get your supervisor involved.I have enclosed some definitions of histrionic and histrionic personality disorder for your reference.I hope that things settle down for you in your workplace.Regards

What does H5N1 (bird flu) virus means?
Answers:
H5N1 is just a notational thing. H stands for hemagglutinin; N stands for neuraminidase. They are two objects that make up the virus, is all. Several different antigenically distinct hemaglutinins and neuraminidases have been identified in different influenza strains. The Avian Flu has type 5 hemagglutinin, and type 1 neuraminidase.That's all the H5N1 really means.Simpler than it looks, isn't it?
I think it means you're going to die if you get it.
Mutation of bird flu virus in Turkey stirs concerns by Daniel Williams and Alan Sipress . About Avian Influenza (Bird Flu) and Avian Influenza A (H5N1) Virus. NWHC National Wildlife .
Main Category: Bird Flu/Avian Flu News
Article Date: 16 Feb 2006 - 6:00am (UK)Many different subtypes of influenza exist. The subtypes are named after the combination of variants of two of the virus proteins. Each influenza A virus has one of 16 H subtypes and one of 9 N subtypes. Only avian viruses which have the combination of H5 and H7 subtypes are known to cause the highly pathogenic form of the disease. However, not all viruses of the H5 and H7 subtypes are highly pathogenic and not all will cause severe disease in poultry. Low pathogenic avian influenza viruses appear to have the ability to become highly pathogenic by mutation, which appears to occur only after the H5 or H7 viruses have moved from their natural wild bird hosts into domestic poultry. Mutation is a process where there is an alteration in the genes of a cell or virus which is transmitted to the offspring. Influenza A viruses contain 8 distinct RNA genes and reassortment of these can occur if two different viruses infect the same animal so that viruses emerge with a set of genes made up of some of the genes from one virus and some from the other. In the 20th Century there were 4 pandemics of influenza due to the emergence of new and genetically distinct strains in humans: 1918 (H1N1), 1957 (H2N2), 1968 (H3N2) and 1977 (H1N1). The 1957 and 1968 pandemic viruses differed from the preceding viruses in humans by the substitution of genes that came from avian viruses, suggesting they arose by genetic reassortment of viruses of human and avian origin.
It's just a strain of the flu.
they vary in stength. To give you some idea what I am talking about.
Hepatitas A is not as bad as the B or c strain
what does foetus mean?
Tririchomoniasis pcr
Answers:
Fetus is an unborn baby after about 8 weeks gestation (though different sources begin calling an embryo a fetus at different stages).With regard to the second thing you wrote, pls see the information page.
Variant of fetus.
term used to describe the unborn offspring in the uterus of vertebrate animals after the embryonic stage .In humans, the fetal stage begins seven to eight weeks after fertilization of the egg, when the embryo assumes the basic shape of the newborn and all the organs are present. This stage continues until birth. The fetus is protected by a sac of amniotic fluid that also enables movement to occur. The placenta and umbilical cord are the sources of oxygen and nutrients and the means of waste elimination.During the fetal stage, the body grows larger, the proportions of the features are refined, and organ development is completed. During the seventh and eighth weeks, the body grows more erect, the chest area develops, and the face begins to acquire a human look. In the third month, facial features continue to develop, nails form, ossification centers develop in bones, the sex of the unborn can be determined, and the fetus is capable of responding to outside stimulation. During the second trimester (fourth to sixth months), distinctive facial features develop, the fetal heartbeat can be detected, and fetal quickening (movements) can be felt externally. In the third trimester (the seventh to ninth months), the body proportions, except for the somewhat large head, are established, the skin becomes smoother, and the organs develop sufficiently for the newborn to function on its own.If the fetus is expelled before 36 weeks of gestation are completed, it often can survive outside the womb, but artificial assistance, such as intravenous feedings and strict maintainance of the ambient temperature, may be needed during the remainder of its normal developmental period. Such births are called premature. Fetuses expelled before that period are not viable and are termed either a miscarriage or an abortion. A dead fetus delivered in the third trimester is termed stillborn.
Foetus means the embryo when developed all the organs and structures inside the uerus of the pregnant woman while growing.

what does euphoria exactly mean when it comes to be the adverse effect of some CNS drugs?
I looked it up in the dictionary, and it says "a feeling of well-being or elevation".so i don't really understand it.
Answers:
Euphoria is an intense feeling of elation. In laymans terms, an extremely happy or giddy feeling. It is the "high feeling" of some drugs. It isnt always a good thing as it may be the very thing the medication is trying to combat or, as another person said, it can be followed by serious depression. It isnt always harmful however. Discuss it with your doctor if you think you are experiencing euphoria. He or she may be able to switch your medication to something you can tolerate better.
does adverse mean negative?
if it does then how euphoria can be something bad?
anyway euphoria is just pure happiness usually with no obvious reason to be happy
It is a psychological sensation; an intense sense of happiness.And in response to the above answer.
How can euphoria be negative?
It can be bad because in many cases euphoria is a state that eventually passes and is followed by very serious depression.
Euphoria IS a feeling of elation and extreme well being, almost a high.As an adverse reaction to a CNS drug, it is dangerous, because this person may hallucinate, think they are indestructible, do dangerous things, that may harm themselves or others- it can also have the Down side, of crash and burning, coming to the extreme opposite, of Depression, etc, when coming off the medication.

What does epitope mean?
i really need to know in term of immunology
1- what does epitope mean?
2- where it come from?
3- what its main function?
4- what is epitope spread?
5- what are different kinds of epitope spread?
6- what about the epitope spread in the CNS in multiple sclerosis?Please, i need to know what are these because i did alot of search and even though i found lots of information i didn't get the answers to these questions exactly. So plz help..
Answers:
An epitope is the part of a macromolecule that is recognized by the immune system, specifically by antibodies, B cells, or cytotoxic T cells. Although usually epitopes are thought to be derived from nonself proteins, sequences derived from the host that can be recognized are also classified as epitopes.Most epitopes can be thought of as three-dimensional surface features of an antigen molecule; these features fit precisely and thus bind to antibodies. The part of an antibody that recognizes the epitope is called a paratope. Exceptions are linear epitopes, which are determined by the amino acid sequence (the primary structure) rather than by the tertiary structure of a protein.Epitopes can be mapped using protein microarrays, and with the ELISPOT or ELISA techniques.Genetic sequences coding for epitopes that are recognised by common antibodies can be fused to genes, thus aiding further molecular characterization of the gene product. Common epitopes used for this purpose are c-myc, HA, FLAG, V5.Interestingly, epitopes are sometimes cross-reactive. This property is exploited by the immune system in regulation by Anti-idiotypic antibodies (originally proposed by Nobel laureate Niels Kaj Jerne). If an antibody binds to an antigen's epitope, the paratope could become the epitope for another antibody that will then bind to it. If this second antibody is of IgM class, its binding can upregulate the immune response; if the second antibody is of IgG class, its binding can downregulate the immune response.Intensive research is currently taking place to design reliable tools that will predict epitopes on proteins.

what does each individual chromosome do?
Answers:
I have never said this since I have been answering questions here, but please ignore the person above. Not only is this person wrong, they are incredibly wrong. There is NO such thing as right and left chromosomes. And chromosomes do NOT affect certain sides of your body.
Each chromosome is made up many many genes that carry the information to be able to make proteins. When you consider that there are two copies of each chromosome, and that each copy of each gene on the chromosome might be slightly different from the other, you have the possibility of two slightly different proteins being produced from them.
Bottom line.each chromosome carries genetic information that can be used to make proteins.
one way to answer question is chromosome is what are body parts are
chromosome is like a double fuse box a right and left side
just like your body has a right and left
you have a right and left chromosome right eye left eye every part of your body has 2 sides with are made up of chromosome
wally is right. each chromosome codes for specific traits that are genetically transferred to offspring. if a mutation occurs in a chromosome, then defects occur.
Y-chromosome carries male characteristics while the X-chromosome carries female characteristics.
what does e.s.r 35mm mean in blood test of female normal range20 mm/hr does it mean cold symtoms?
Answers:
The sedimentation rate (sed rate) blood test measures how quickly red blood cells (erythrocytes) settle in a test tube in one hour. It is abbreviated ESR.When inflammation is present in the body, certain proteins cause red blood cells to stick together and fall more quickly than normal to the bottom of the tube. The more red cells that fall to the bottom of a special test tube in one hour, the higher the sed rate. These proteins are produced by the liver and the immune system under many abnormal conditions, such as an infection, an autoimmune disease, or cancer. There are many possible causes of an elevated sedimentation rate. For this reason, a sed rate is done with other tests to confirm a diagnosis. Once a diagnosis has been made, a sed rate can be done to help monitor the course of the disease or the effectiveness of treatment.
ESR stands for estimated sedimentation rate. It means you have some type of inflammatory process going on. Ex: Arthritis.
The other answers are good.Don't get too worked up about this particular test, it is not definitive on anything, more a general indicator.The amount of red blood cells per mm^3 is also a factor, women having typically far less than men will have a higher ESR.When things are really serious in some way, the ESR gets very high -- yours is not in that range.Let your doctor evaluate your test results.But it is good that you are interested in all this. Your understanding will increase with experience in all things.The http://www.webmd.com site will be a good reference for you.Ask a friend who is a Medical Laboratory Technologist about it.
what does differential diagnosis means?
Answers:
differential diagnosis are just all other possible diagnosis(conditions/diseases) that the doctor is considering for a particular patient. simply explained eh?
It is a doctor's way of organizing his or her thinking. The list should be the most likely diagnoses given the information gained from: history of present illness, review of systems, physical examination and subsequent lab or radiology tests.The first ones on the list should be the most likely, with those lower on the list still possibilities. As more information is gained, the order of the list may change somewhat.It helps a doctor keep from "torpedoing" in on one diagnosis to the exclusion of other possibilities.
When a patient has certain signs and symptoms, the doctor examines the patient and then comes up with all the different diagnoses that could be causing the patient's problems. that's what a "differential diagnosis' is. For example- if you had "ear pain" it could be caused by an inner ear infection (otitis media) or an outer ear infection (otits externa)- this is the "differential diagnsosis".I'm somewhat suprised that your Dr. used this term-- since most pt's want to know what they most likely have, not all the possible diseases they could have..If after doing more testing trying to narrow down the "differential"- and the Dr. still isn't sure what it could be, then either they will treat for the most common cause (and see if the pt gets better) or you can be sent to a "specialist' for further testing".Hope this explains the term.
What does czas czesciowej tromboplastyny poaktywacji mean?
It is a coagulation profile but I want to know if it has anything to do with APTT. Also I believe it is Polish language, so I want to know what it means in English.
Answers:
it means (and it is polish)czas - time
czesciowej - part
tromboplastyny - of tromboplastin
poaktywacji - after activationthe time for partial tromboplatin postactivation
I think it mean s bluegummiworms
it looks lik czas means time and obviously tromboplastyny looks to mean thromboplastin but i don't know about the other two words. from the looks of it it does look like it goes along with the pt/ptt coag stuff.
well . IF it is Polish, then czas means time.And czesciowej means something like partial.The other two words, i'm not sure about coz I can't find them, but I will keep looking, see if I can get a full translation for you!

What does Chloroform do?
Answers:
it knocks u out.
Chloroform, also known as trichloromethane and methyl trichloride, is a chemical compound with formula CHCl3. It does not support combustion in air, although it will burn when mixed with more flammable substances. It is a member of a subset of environmental pollutants known as trihalomethanes, a by-product of chlorination of drinking water and a long-standing health concern.
knocks out living beings and animals.
Anesthetic agent of the past. No longer used to the best of my knowledge except maybe poor countries, I'm not sure.
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, chloroform was used as an inhaled anesthetic during surgery. However, safer, more flexible drugs have entirely replaced it in this role. The major use of chloroform today is in the production of the freon refrigerant R-22. However, as the Montreal Protocol takes effect, this use can be expected to decline as R-22 is replaced by refrigerants that are less liable to result in ozone depletion.Smaller amounts of chloroform are used as a solvent in the pharmaceutical industry, and for producing dyes and pesticides. As a solvent it can be used to bond pieces of acrylic glass (which is also known under the trade name 'Perspex'). Chloroform is one of the most effective known solvents for alkaloids in base form, and may be used to extract nitrogenous chemicals from plant material for pharmaceutical processing. It is commercially used to extract morphine from poppies, scopolamine from Datura plants, and so on.Chloroform reacts with aqueous sodium hydroxide (preferably in the presence of a phase transfer catalyst) to produce dichlorocarbene. This is used to effect ortho-formylation of activated aromatic rings such as phenols, producing aryl aldehydes in a reaction known as the Reimer-Tiemann reaction. Alternatively the carbene may be trapped by an alkene to form a cyclopropane derivative.Chloroform containing deuterium (heavy hydrogen), CDCl3, is the most common solvent used in NMR spectroscopy.As might be expected from its use as an anesthetic, inhaling chloroform vapors depresses the central nervous system. Breathing about 900 parts of chloroform per million parts air (900 parts per million) for a short time can cause dizziness, fatigue, and headache. Chronic chloroform exposure may cause damage to the liver (where chloroform is metabolized to phosgene) and to the kidneys, and some people develop sores when the skin is immersed in chloroform. Approximately 10% of the population has an allergic reaction to chloroform that produces a fever of around 40掳C (104掳F) upon exposure.Animal studies have shown that miscarriages occur in rats and mice that have breathed air containing 30 to 300 ppm chloroform during pregnancy and also in rats that have ingested chloroform during pregnancy. Offspring of rats and mice that breathed chloroform during pregnancy have a higher incidence of birth defects, and abnormal sperm have been found in male mice that have breathed air containing 400 ppm chloroform for a few days
A chloroform-soaked handkerchief is often used as a fictional device to render someone unconscious. In reality, a dose far greater than a few drops inhaled over a short period of time would be required to knock somebody out. Such a dose could also be lethal.
It kills butterflies so you can pin them to boards. I read that in the musem. I think it's cruel.

Chloroform [Chem.] CHCl3, an uncoloured very volatile liquid of great weight with a strong special smell, used medically as an anaesthetic and in industry as a solvent of fats, oils, rubber, and other substances.
Although Chloroform is a quick and a powerful anesthestic drug that can be very conveniently given by inhalation. In small doses by mouth, it is an effective pain killer and antispasmodic drug; applied to the skin, it is a counterirritant, sometimes used as liniment in treating rheumatism. Chloroform has gone out of favor since the discovery that even small doses of it may seriously damage the liver and exert a harmful effect upon the heart. The strong etherlike odor of this liquid was once the common source of a characteristic "hospital smell"

what does biliverdin get converted to??
Answers:
biliverdin breaks down to bilirubin1. green bile pigment: a greenish bile pigment that is an intermediate product of the breakdown of hemoglobin in the liver and in turn breaks down to produce bilirubin (http://encarta.msn.com/encnet/features/d.2 The resulting biliverdin is then reduced to bilirubin, a yellow pigment, by the enzyme biliverdin reductase. The changing color of a bruise from deep purple to yellow over time is a graphical indicator of this reaction.

What does asthma feel like?
After I run, my throat feels like it closes and I cant breath as well. It isn't really bad, but I don't like it.
Answers:
You know when you run and get out of breath? Imagine that ten times faster, shallower and not being able to control it, knowing life depends on the ability to regulate breathing and calm down. Your lungs cannot fill to the capacity they should. Mine is, or was I am happy to say, exercise induced. Go to a doctor and see if an inhaler helps.

heart attack
awful its hard to breathe
Hi. It's like trying to breath through a straw while running.
ur chest goes tight nd u start wheezing nd ur throat closes up.. its such a terrible feeling =[
It's like,you have a very hard time breathing when you're just walking slowly up stairs,or after you run for like,less than 10 seconds,you still can't breathe very well.Most have to use puffers.Talk to your parents/doctor.
For me, it feels like my lungs are constricted and I can't take in a deep breath (something like trying to breathe through a straw).
If you are concerned that you might have asthma, you need to see your doctor as soon as practical. Asthma affects everyone differently, and everyone is going to have a different perception on what an asthma attack feels like. It's going to be really hard to decide if you have asthma or not from people's questions.
It's pretty normal to be out of breath after running, though.
Hope this helps!
Asthma sucks!! It feel like you cant breath, and your chest is tight! I have it all the time after I exercise. See a doctor! He can put you on a med or give you a inhaler.
Being suffocated
It sounds like you have exercise-induced Asthma, something I used to have in spades. Go to a doctor with your concern and get a diagnoses. He (or she) will be able to tell you what's going on the best.
There are lots of really good answers here. The main thing is for you to see a Dr. quickly. Asthma can be very dangerous. If that is what it is, with meds, you can lead a very normal life.
for me, it feels like elastic bands round the top of your lungs, like a pain high up in both sides of your chest- no matter how hard you suck, you can't get enough air in, or out
Asthma is a teriible thing to have,
though it is not curable yet,scientists are looking for a breakthrough,
for people without it,they are lucky

What does Aspartame's effects on the body.?
I know it kills brain cells ,but I have heard that it can make you sick. Aspartame is the sweetner used for diet soda for anyone who doesn't know
Answers:
The controversial problems with aspartame are about what it is broken down into. Phenylalanine is the major amino acid breakdown product. This is seriously dangerous to people with the rare metabolic disorder called phenylketonuria. These people should never have aspartame because their bodies can not break down phenylalanine, and it becomes poisonous to their nervous systems. Phenylalanine is also the precursor for dopamine and adrenaline, and there has been some debate about its effects there.For all the information you need, go to wikipedia here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/aspartame.
watch lorenzos oil . has all the side affects
Supposedly Aspartame is linked to generalized pain, but most of the claims that is causes cancer or heart disease, etc. have been proven false in thousands of studies. If you can stomach the unpalatable aftertaste, I'm pretty sure you're safe.
phenylalanine is an essential amino acid. when aspatame breaks down, it takes form of phenylalanine. like most anything, too much of it can be a bad thing.p.s. it kills brain cells? really?
aspartame isn't a brain killer. if persons eat it very much it is show
some effects on nervous system such as Parkinson like syndrome
and act but this is reversible and if you stop using aspartame
or reduce it dose its side effect be disappear. aspartame isn't
dangerous material as people say

What does an Orderly (healthcare) do?
Answers:
Orderly is a very out dated term that is rarely ever used in the health care industry today. It refers to persons who did the basic "non-skilled" work like cleaning bedpans or bathing patients. In today's health care systems Certified Nursing Assistants(CNA) are utilized in nursing homes and hospitals. Each facility may have a special name for them such as Patient Care Technician , but the name recognized by the states health care provider registry is CNA. Certification occurs after successful completion of the class and a comprehensive final exam which includes a written exam and a return demonstration of skills (ie. bed making, vitals signs, proper hand washing, etc.). Class are often offered by the Continuing Ed. Dept. at the local Community or Technical College. Average wage: $6-$10 per hour depending on experience.The hierarchy from lowest to highest are as followed:
Certified Nursing Assistant - CNA
Certified Nursing Assistant II - CNA II
Licensed Practical Nurse - LPN
Registered Nurse - RN
I think they do the grunt work at a hospital.. move patients around, deliver food, pills, etc., deliver samples and stuff to the labs.www.cafepress.com/myunclelarry
What does an odds ratio of 1.6 mean?
In particular, is the statement: "The odds ratio of becoming obese among children increased 1路6 times for each additional can or glass of sugar-sweetened drink that they consumed every day. "The same as:Each glass of sugar-sweetened drink consume per day will increase a child's chances of becoming obese by 60%
Answers:
The other two responses are not entirely accurate. This is how it would be written: "The odds of becoming obese increased by 60% for each unit increase in can or glass of sugar drink consumed". This is the correct way to report odds ratio's. Remember that you can't confuse odds with risk ratios so never report it as someone is 1.6 times more likely than x. This is how many people report it in the literature, which is wrong.
Yep, they are essentially the same.
The odds ratio is a measure of effect size particularly important.
It is defined as the ratio of the odds of an event occurring in one group to the odds of it occurring in another group, or to a data-based estimate of that ratio. These groups might be men and women, an experimental group and a control group, or any other dichotomous classification. So if the probabilities of the event in each of the groups are p (first group) and q (second group). Then the ratio is what ever you come up with.

What does a Neuropathogenesist do?
Answers:
Hello Sarah,there is no conventional form of the word in a medical dictionary.But you have Neuropathogenesis. Which is the medical study that deals with The origin of the diseases of the nervous system.
Neuro-has to do with the nervous system
Patho---Has to do with disease or pathogens.
Genesis--Has to do with the origin.
However,in words coinage the addition of ..ist denotes a specialist in the field,(eg neurologist,pathologist,geneal. perhaps wanted to talk about a specialist in Neuropathogenesis.
Going by the components of the title, someone who deals with pathogens of the neural systems
neuro- sth to do with the brain, nervous system
patho- disease causing
genesis- formin, the beginningI think you mis-spelled the word with a addition T.
It means the discovery of the cause of a disease of the nervous system.
"The origin or development of a disease of the nervous system."
Thats neuropathogenesis, I would guess the -genesist studies that.http://medical-dictionary.thefreediction.
Pathogens are the beginnings of a disease and neuro relates to the brain, therefore by definition a neuropathogenesist studies diseases that begin within the brain.

What does a gene array technique do?
Answers:
Come on StingRay, the question wasn't that obscure. A google search for "gene array" brings up 146,000 hits. It's also known as a micro array. A micro array tests an array of genes. The idea is based on Northern blots, which is another way of testing interactions between RNA and DNA.The question a micro array tries to answer has to do with gene expression. It is useful to know, in a given type of cell, which genes are expressed, meaning that they are turned on, and which are not. The array basically looks at the content of transcripts in a cell, meaning the genes that have been made into RNA. When a gene is activated, RNA is produced from that segment of DNA, and then the protein is produced from the RNA (non-coding RNAs are a different topic). Looking at the messenger RNA transcripts, or mRNA, is a way of looking at gene activation.There are various ways of doing it, and you can check the links below for more specific technical information. The short story is that a slide is made that contains a set of short sequences that correspond specifically to different genes. An array might contain tens of thousands of genes. This slide is exposed to transcripts from a cell, and where there are matches, they will hybridize, or interact. So if a slide had 10,000 representations, you could expose it to, say, transcripts from a normal colon cell, and a certain number of genes would interact, meaning that those were turned on in that cell. You could also test lines from various colon cancers, and then see which interactions are the same, and which are different. This is a way of getting information about which genes may be involved in cancer, as well as in the development process that causes cells to define what type they will be.There are various ways of reading out the interaction. Typically, there is a fluorescent signal, and the strength of the signal tells how strong the interaction is, which indicates how highly the gene is expressed. This is all read by computer, and output into a graphic which typically shows upregulated genes in green, and downregulated genes in red. The results are analyzed by statistical methods, and to be sure they are valid, they need to be tested again in biological systems.
Grants Wishes? Give more details because I've been in this industry for 10 years now and never heard of such an animal.
I think you are talking about micro arrays used to screen.
What does a dream about loosing all your teeth meen?
Answers:
most dreams are just nonsense.As far as both of you sharing similar dreams?. Autosuggestion.
I'd have to look at a detailed journal of what all is in these deams to tell you for sure. or you can talk to this woman. She's pretty amazing. http://www.margaretruth.com/pages/1/inde. You can call in on X96 Radio From Hell on Fridays morning show and talk to her as well (if you can get through..lol)
The Station can be heard via live feed on http://x96.com/ week day m-f 6-10 am B ut MArg is only on Friday
Someone that you love dies. But I think that's just a kind of supersticious.
If you have been dreaming about loosing your teeth for more than 4 weeks. GO GET SOME HELP!!
I have always heard that means a dream about LOSS in general, not necessarily about losing teeth, or death. Good luck!
I don't know. I often have dreams about wearing a retainer. Very weird. I read somewhere once that when you dream about wearing something like a retainer it means you want something in your life to change. That subconsciously you feel that you are being held back or trapped in a certain aspect of your life.
Dreams of losing your teeth generally mean two things: the first being that you may have said something that you now regret - the second is that you may be insecure about something - not necessarily the way your teeth or mouth looks but could be anything to do with your body or insecurity about something else - the way you act, come across to others, etc. Dreams of losing something, whether teeth, your purse or all your clothes almost always mean some form of insecurity so if you think this may be it, then it likely is.
What does a cockroach bite look like?
Answers:
Cockroaches sometimes bite humans, but not often. Their bite by itself will not cause disease, but if the cockroach came into contact with disease-causing organisms before biting then a disease may be transmitted. The bite marks should appear as small, scabby areas. Sometimes sleeping infants are bitten around the mouth by cockroaches that are attracted to spilled milk or food in that area.
didn't know they bite.except maybe exotic breeds.but who keeps cockroaches as pets?
rochez dont bite
I didn't know they bite. Gross.
First of all yuck I hate bugs..and second THEY DON'T BITE STUPID!SOME PEOPLE ARE REALLY DUMB.UH DID I JUST SAY THAT OUT LOUD.
I learned something new here, that cockroaches can bite, if they are the right species.now, can you please tell me where you live so I can NEVER go there?
cockroaches don't bite.
what does a brown recluse spider bite look like on your stomach and can you die from one?
spider bite on my brother in law stomach looks black in the hole red ans swollen around it hot and maybe i say about an inch probally as big as this-} ------.
Answers:
Whatever bit him it was nasty. Since there is no anti-venom it really doesn't matter. Get your brother in law to see a doc asap. He's unlikely to die of a bite but secondary infections could be lethal. More likely the longer he goes without treating it the more scarring and other possible damage that can be done.
Brown Recluse spider bites can be very nasty, causing large areas of skin to ulcerate. Even when it goes away, in some people it can come back. Check out some pictures on the web if you have a strong stomach.
The tissue typically undergoes necrosis, and occassionally a very large portion of the body (ie within a foot or more diameter of the bite) will necrophy. This can lead to amputation, death, etc.

what does .061gm/dl equal to in mg/ml?
Answers:
.061 gm/dl = 61 mg/dl = 6.10 mg/ml
What's a gm? Gigameter? And how are we supposed to convert from gigameters to milligrams? A gigameter is a measure of length, while a milligram is a measure of mass.
What does "paravertebral" mean ? (explain)?
Answers:
It means "around" the vertebrae. For example the paravertebral muscles are the two long muscle groups that run down your back on either side of the midline. A paravertebral tumor is one that lies around or adjacent to the spinal column.
it means on each sides of the vertebral column ie, the backbone.. like the sympathetic chain is present one on each side of the vertebral column!
I must agree. Para is from the latin for beside or on the side of, and vertebral means of or relating to the spine.It probably refers to the rest of the spinal column and any possible damage therin.
What does "Obligatory Carrier" mean in genetics?
Answers:
Simply put: Obligatory carriers are of normal phenotype but have a parent that has a particular recessive disease that they carry and therefore are at risk of passing the trait on to their offspring.
More comprehensively put: Obligatory carrier is usually referred to in recessive diseases. It means that the person MUST be a carrier of a particular trait. For example hemophilia is a sex-linked recessive disease. If a man is born with hemophilia, all of his daughters automatically have to be carriers of the disease. This is because they have to get the X with the trait on it from their father. Now it is up to the mother whether the daughter will have hemophilia. If the mother is a carrier there is a 50/50 chance that the daughter will be a carrier or have the disease. If the mother is homozygous dominant then the daughter can only be a carrier. In autosomal recessive disease, if a parent has a recessive disease then all of their children must either carry the trait or have the disease because the parent with the disease can only give that trait to their child. It is up to which allele they get from the normal parent as to whether they have the disease.
Well, it's been a while since my last genetics course, but as I recall it, it's the offspring of a homozygous recessive individual with another individual. If one parent is homozygous recessive, and the other one homozygous dominant, the offspring will all be carriers of the recessive trait--which is what I recall being the meaning of "obligatory carrier" in the context of genetics.We used to breed 'em in Drosophila melanogaster for the fruit fly labs for students, years ago. We'd cross a strain that was homozygous redeyed with homozygous whiteyed, and then let the students try to figure out what was going on. The obligatory carriers would, when back-crossed, produce 1/4 homozygous dominant, 1/2 heterozygous and 1/4 homozygous recessive.
What does "microfalo" mean?
Answers:
small penis
I am not quite sure, but I am sure of it being a hispanic term. Maybe it means Microfiber.
Just refering to the terms here. micro is latin for 'very tiny', falo is an hispanic term along the lines of 'falic'. see if this is an appropiate explanation according to the context where the word was used.
What does "2-3 bars steam pressure" mean?
Answers:
1 Bar is defined as 14.5 PSI (pound-force per square inch). Standard atmospheric pressure is measured at sea level and some standard temperature, and is taken as 14.7 PSI. The BAR scale uses the 14.5 PSI as the standard sea level pressure. So 2 bar = 29 psi, where 2 standard atmospheres would equal 29.4 psi. The errors are small at pressures near the standard 1 atmosphere as 14.7 PSI. Steam is not really important to the question of pressure. Pounds per square inch applies to liquids, solids, and gases.
The bar (symbol bar) and the millibar (symbol mbar, also mb) are units of pressure. They are not SI units, but accepted (although discouraged) for use with the SI. The bar is still widely used in descriptions of pressure because it is about the same as atmospheric pressure.
what do you want done with your body after you die?
personally i carry a donor card and have requested my cadaver by dontated the a local teaching hospital for studends to learn from by chopping it up.any parts that will make someone elses quality of life better should be used to do so. i saw a question about cryogenics made me think of asking - easy 2 points or go for the 10 please if your gonna go religious on me don't, trust me i wont convert to whatever your nutball cult wants me to believe
Answers:
I don't care because I am dead. I would prefer that it was used for science or my parts used but I don't think my husband would like that. I am Christian so I don't think I well need it after I am dead. If it can help someone that would be preferable.
Organs donated and the rest cremated.
I think I'd like to have all the sex I've missed out on in life.
burn it
Thanks for reminding me, I need to get a new donor card!Yep, I'd like to donate whatever is of use, and then they can burn the rest! No rotting in the ground for me thanks!
Me, I'm much like you; when I have left my body, I'd rather what can be salvaged to be used to help other people. Cryo-freezing, I don't think so. This life in this body; whatever comes after that, with just my soul. (I am a believer in incarnation, so I think I may come back and have a new round).
I would like to carry a donor card soon too. If I'm dead, how can my organs help to me? But if they can help to other, to save their lives, so why not?? But it's going to be hard to tell all that to my parents, cause they are kinda old-fashioned. But I guess it's my life, my choice. Anyway, respect to you!
I have a donor card, and after they take what they want, be burned, takes up less space, and hygenic
I want my brain to be donated to the transgender brain project, and the rest of me to be cremated. I don't believe in wasting ground putting my decaying body in it.
I want to be cremated - I have a condition which prevents me being an organ donor or I would.
Want to be cremated cant stand the thought of worms eating me up and go in and out of my nose and mouth
simply to dispose of my dead body by the most efficient means possible!
Organ donation sounds good and after that burn me!
im going to be buired so i can feed all the little wormies in the ground there no way ill get burnt im scared of fire it might kill me
lol
I do want my organs donated. I'm not sure about donating my entire body to science. I'm okay with the thought, but it might disturb my family. My husband's family is all buried in this little cemetery on their Texas ranch property. I'm kind of leaning towards being buried with them. I like the thought of being surrounded by open land. I do want my dog's ashes buried with me. That might seem strange, but I don't know if there are dogs in heaven/an afterlife. I at least want her close to my body.
Donate organs and cremate corpse. Ashes to be scattered anywhere convenient.
I want to be cremated and have my ashes scattered in Ganges, as my mum and dads were.
I think its a little rude to dismiss all religious points of view as those from cults.And Just because someone has religious beliefs doesnt mean they want everyone to think the same way.
Not bothered. I'll be dead. They'll probably hang my corpse from a lamppost, whilst cheering and clapping.
As for donating it to science / medicine. I smoke too much, for it to be any use to anybody, in a transplant way.
i dont think you can do both donating your organs and your cadivar to students the students will not be able to make use of your cadiver after organs have been removed and your organs will be of no use after the students have finished with your bodyi have told my husband that i want to donate my organs ( though i would also be willing to let my body be used by students or for medical reseach)but i refuse to carry a donor card they are totally useless as your next of kin will be asked permission to use your organs and it does not matter how passionately you want your organs to be used if your next of kin says no then the doctors can do nothingyour wishes will be ignored and your next of kins wishes will be granted
cremated i guess.mabye donate some internal organs ASAP to a good hospital.
be a free for all when I die, they can get whatever they want.
feed the rest to the dogs..
Turn me into handbags and sell them in kensington market.
As Mentioned in your question I am going to be Cryogenically supended
Not sure what use my body would be to anybody, but they can use it for whatever they want once I've finished with it. I don't think this cryogenics thing will come to anything for a long time, and I don't think I want to come back to 'life' so far in the future - the future of mankind doesn't look particularly rosy to me.
Now look, you've got me all depressed now!Marvin.
If I manage to die in England- only spend a couple of weeks a year there now , -I am with you. Have the card still and made it clear that the students can play doctor with what is left.If I die here in the middle east, I think that my kids will overrule whatever I want and will probably bury me with great haste ( the heat factor). Still, I would love for them to have a Leywah Band (local traditional music) accompany me on my journey to my final resting place as a celebration of a life lived well. Probably won't happen as it would really offend people of just about every religious creed here.Shame though!
Yes i believe in donar parts too and with whats left i would like to be turned into a shiny diamond thing.. Read about it once in the news paper that this guy had his wife turned into a diamond.. obviously it isnt a real diamond as it it is yellow in colour but hey just think how much money you could make if you turned eveyone into diamonds after they died.. I have so lost the plot today, sorry!!
I have donated my body to transplantation. But education is fine with me to. If I go to a monster museum or to a pet food factory it's fine with me, too.
I want to be buried face down on top of prunella scales
What I want is (I believe) illegal in this country, so I'd have to get some friends or family members involved.
So at my funeral, whether thats burial or cremation, I would get my 'colleagues' to steal my body then take it to some woods somewhere well away from where people might go walking, and just dump it on the ground.What a way to go!
I will decide.

My husband's family is all buried in this little cemetery on their Texas ranch property. I'm kind of leaning towards being buried with them. I like the thought of being surrounded by open land. I do want my dog's ashes buried with me. That might seem strange, but I don't know if there are dogs in heaven/an afterlife. I at least want her close to my body.
Donate organs and cremate corpse. Ashes to be scattered anywhere convenient.
I want to be cremated and have my ashes scattered in Ganges, as my mum and dads were.
I think its a little rude to dismiss all religious points of view as those from cults.And Just because someone has religious beliefs doesnt mean they want everyone to think the same way.
Not bothered. I'll be dead. They'll probably hang my corpse from a lamppost, whilst cheering and clapping.
As for donating it to science / medicine. I smoke too much, for it to be any use to anybody, in a transplant way.
i dont think you can do both donating your organs and your cadivar to students the students will not be able to make use of your cadiver after organs have been removed and your organs will be of no use after the students have finished with your bodyi have told my husband that i want to donate my organs ( though i would also be willing to let my body be used by students or for medical reseach)but i refuse to carry a donor card they are totally useless as your next of kin will be asked permission to use your organs and it does not matter how passionately you want your organs to be used if your next of kin says no then the doctors can do nothingyour wishes will be ignored and your next of kins wishes will be granted
cremated i guess.mabye donate some internal organs ASAP to a good hospital.
be a free for all when I die, they can get whatever they want.
feed the rest to the dogs..
Turn me into handbags and sell them in kensington market.
As Mentioned in your question I am going to be Cryogenically supended
Not sure what use my body would be to anybody, but they can use it for whatever they want once I've finished with it. I don't think this cryogenics thing will come to anything for a long time, and I don't think I want to come back to 'life' so far in the future - the future of mankind doesn't look particularly rosy to me.
Now look, you've got me all depressed now!Marvin.
If I manage to die in England- only spend a couple of weeks a year there now , -I am with you. Have the card still and made it clear that the students can play doctor with what is left.If I die here in the middle east, I think that my kids will overrule whatever I want and will probably bury me with great haste ( the heat factor). Still, I would love for them to have a Leywah Band (local traditional music) accompany me on my journey to my final resting place as a celebration of a life lived well. Probably won't happen as it would really offend people of just about every religious creed here.Shame though!
Yes i believe in donar parts too and with whats left i would like to be turned into a shiny diamond thing.. Read about it once in the news paper that this guy had his wife turned into a diamond.. obviously it isnt a real diamond as it it is yellow in colour but hey just think how much money you could make if you turned eveyone into diamonds after they died.. I have so lost the plot today, sorry!!
I have donated my body to transplantation. But education is fine with me to. If I go to a monster museum or to a pet food factory it's fine with me, too.
I want to be buried face down on top of prunella scales
What I want is (I believe) illegal in this country, so I'd have to get some friends or family members involved.
So at my funeral, whether thats burial or cremation, I would get my 'colleagues' to steal my body then take it to some woods somewhere well away from where people might go walking, and just dump it on the ground.What a way to go!
I will decide.
what do you thinkl about test tube babaies? How do you feel about it?
Answers:
"my mother was a test tube my father was a knife", Friday, written by R A Hienlien, i agree test tube babies are a good thing
umm idk never thought about it
I feel the same way about test tube babies as i feel about all babies. Conception inside the womb, conception outside the womb, whatever - the result is the same either way.
test tube babies are a good idea, although some fertility clinics use science to choose the gender of the child, i think it should be random selection like in nature, other wise i see nothing wrong with it.
What do you think of embryonic stem cell research?
Do you think it is ethical? Should it be funded by the government? Please tell why and give sources. Thanks
Answers:
I am 100% against it. I believe beyond a shadow of a doubt, that with all the technology that we have today there is another way than by harvesting embroyos. Whether America would like to admit that an embryo is a living being or not, the fact still remains that it is. I am confident that God will supply us the knowledge and ability to reproduce stem cells another way.
http://www.stemcellresearch.org/.
http://www.biblebelievers.com/allthis.ht.
it's fine with me.
stem cell research has a very promising future. with it, we will have the chance to help people with many different types of problems because of the specializing capability of these stem cells. many embryoes are discarded all the time from abortions and ones put in cryogenic freezing for storage and are no longer needed. these are lives that are still going to waste. As long as its regulated and monitored strictly. There should be institutes that are certified to work with ESC's and have those regulated by a controlling body like the FDA or something along those lines. There are some negative things that can come from this but as long as they are regulated and monitored they can be kept to a minimum or prevented. I have taken a couple courses on animal biotechnology and small animal research where we also went into human applications of such things including transgenics. we learned the negatives and positives of both and held many class discussions. after going over these things over the years, i have concluded that there is too much of a potential for good for us not to use ESC's in research
wheather it is ethical or not depends on from exactly where and how these cells are harvested. they have discovered that stem cells can be taken from the umbilical cord, as well as the placenta for instance. this type of harvesting is non harmful to mother or baby. should the government? insofar as the gov. funds thousands of other scientific research projects they should include stem cell research. this research can lead to enormous and important breakthroughs which in turn can lead to cures for diseases birth defects and a host of other wonders. If they wont fund it then they at least ought to open the doors so others can do so leagally. (IMHO, sorry i don't have sources)
I am for it. There are frozen embryos from invitro fertilization that are never used. These embryos are already developing eggs. The eggs are destroyed after so many years. The eggs can be used to study various diseases, and find cures. So I say why not use something to benefit man kind instead of destroying it.
It's completely fine with me.

What do you think is safer?
Which medication do you think is safer for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder? For trichotillomania? Either Luvox or Anafranil? Here's the links to each one. Any opinions/suggestions would help!

Serious responses only, PLEASE!
Answers:
Hi! Well first of all, you should talk to a doctor who can determine which drug is best for you. That being said, I have OCD and I'am taking Paxil, which is also a SSRI (like Luvox). It has worked really well for me. However, different drugs work for different people. I am really careful about the medicines I take, and I visit my doctor regularly to check my meds and dosage. I do have strong withdrawl symptoms if I run out of my meds after 3 or 4 days.Personally, hemeopathy didn't work for me. I ended up very frustrated about taking them for so long and not feeling better.If you do have OCD, I hope you find treatment that's right for you and helps you feel better. It's hard but hang in there. Write again if you have any other questions.If you don't have ODC, I hope this info helps.
Safest medication is Aurvedic or Homoeopathy medicines.This may take a little longer time to cure,but no other side effects.Like Obsessive Compulsive Disorder,better you consult a Homoeopathy doctor.
I think Luvox is an SSRI, meaning you can't eat certain types of food (cheese for example), so it's a bit hard to stick to it. Anafranil has some irritating side-effects I think. Google them and see if you find some discussions from people who have taken them.
Only a doctor can evaluate you clinically (in personal and never by Web!) and prescribe the right medication for you.
This is not the place to ask such a question. Medications are prescribed according to its parmacology and the desired effect on a specific patient. MORE SO psychotropic medications. Given the same illness, different patients are going to react differenty to the same medications. Who to ask? YOUR PSYCHIATRIST!! That's why he went to school for 12 years after High School!
Anafranil belong to tricyclic antidepressant group while luvox belongs to SSRI which newer class with less side effect,belonged action and very effective.I think that all doctors now shifting to this group and I really prefer it

what do you think can change in our lifestlye,from the cuase of the genetic breakthrough in the next 50 years.
Answers:
Genetic therapy to correct inherited diseases as well as spontaneous mutations (as in some cancers) may be decades away, but should be well under way in 50 years. Selective enhancement of favorable traits (taller, stronger, attractiveness, etc.) is probably much further out due to many interacting genetic pathways that would require simultaneous tinkering.
The biggest breakthrough will be the appreciation that lifestyle factors are the major determinant of clinical expressions of variations in the genome. In other words, phenotype is the product of genotype + ENVIRONMENT. Environment is the dominant factor.This principle is understood by many basic science researchers, but it is not generally appreciated by mainstream physicians or the media. The 'fifty-year rule' in medicine suggests it will be mid-century before this basic science concept becomes known and accepted.
What do you think are the major challenges in conducting a clinical trial over the internet?
Answers:
unreliability of observations, not imperical observations and may untruthful answers from jokers..
getting accurate demographics
You can't give a pill via a web browser?
Having no idea who you are actually clinically trialing? People have been know to invent themselves. A 45+ paedophile may posse as an 13 yr old girl just to get photo's that they are after. (Just an example).
What do you think about stem cell research?
Answers:
It is a great technology and Bush did the wrong thing.
I wonder if he needed a new kidney or heart and his life depended on it if he would have vetoed it?
a scientific miracle
I think it's a potential miracle, although it's more of an untapped resource right now.
Bush just vetoed it, which makes me hate him even more.
When I didn't think it was possible.
PS: I think stem cell is going to be to us what the pollio vaccination was in the 50s.
Life changing.
it's awesome technology that can save lives and improve the quality of living by allowing doctors to grow replacement organs that are 100% compatible with their hosts. Lung cancer? No problem. Get a new lung. Heart disease? We'll fix that too. This is the immediate goal. Who knows what hasn't been thought of.ohh yea. it takes an embryo that's only a few days old to harvest the stem cells. this kills the embryo.equals: psycho christians flipping out.solution: other contries will develop this information and the USA will lag behind.
Right to lifers and Bible thumpers need to chill out on this one and let the scientists experiment and tinker and research all they want. The potential benefit to all mankind far outweighs any right to moral posturing. This research could lead to cures (or at least treatments) for EVERYTHING! No more disease, sit back and imagine that for a moment. Then explain to a seven year old dieing from Lymphoma how you're too squeamish about dead fetuses to let them find a cure and save his life. Go ahead.
Bush has seen to it that america will fall behind the rest of the developed world. I wonder which country will be the next world power?Scientifically, I think it's great. It can lead to self-organ replacements for people who might not otherwise live. To all the "pro-life" people out there: it's not a human being until it's born, until then, it's just a developing animal, inside its mother. Why is this so hard to understand?Aren't you worth more now than when you were a week after conception??
great idea
I THINK ITS WRONG TO KILL AN EMBRYO JUST TO TRY AND SAVE SOMEONE ELSE. IT DOESN'T EVEN MAKE SENSE. YOU DON'T KILL SOMEONE TO SAVE SOMEONE. ITS STUPID AND ITS WRONG. BUSH DID THE RIGHT THING YESTERDAY WHEN HE VETOED ON THE STEM CELL RESEARCH. AND ALL CHRISTIANS WILL AGREE.
What do you think about Pluto being voted out of the Planetary Status?
Pluto was voted by the scientists that it is no longer a planet. It seems peculiar to me because it has been a planet since approxiamately 1936, and what is the big deal? Why did they go to so much trouble over this? Does anyone know? Would you care to explain it to me?
Answers:
I am quoting a part of my answer,to a question on astrology."When I was doing my research in 1996 about the planetary classifications in the Indian astrological system,there were very strong references saying that there were actually only eight planets and the ninth was only a "Nilal grakam"(Roughly translated it would mean a shadow planet),but it still had to be considered for purposes of predictions.
I could not understand why such a classification was made.But now we see Pluto being brought down from the status of a planet.
Now it makes sense."Most of the,"Mythological stories"in the scriptures of the Hindu religion can be easily related to science.I have not acheived a substanstial level, in my research on the Bible and the Quran,(which I see has abundant information and knowledge,as I expected they would),therefore I am not using verses from them.I believe,a very long time ago,there was a high level of scientific knowledge and advancement.At some point there was a total wipe out (may be a nuclear holocaust and floods sometime later),and only a few survived.
These survivors had lived with advanced technology but didn't have any such technology to carry forward or didn't want to carry forward.But stories of technological advancements were passed down through many generations.As people started spreading again,different versions of these stories were written down,at different locations.These are the scriptures we have,which seem like predictions for the future,but are actually memories of their distant past.I know I have deviated too much.But it never hurts to know another's ideas.
You may take it seriously or just ignore it or hey make fun of it.
Pluto will always be a planet as far as I'm concerned. Or a Disney dog.Pluto was discovered by Dr. Clyde Tombaugh in 1928, by the way.
Astronomers do not want to be forgotten so they make a controversy out of nothing.
Probably because the little rascal isn't any bigger than our moon!Plus, it has an erratic orbit, that brings it past Neptune at times, so it can be considered just an asteroid by all scientific groups.The only big hullabaloo was that way back when, it was "amazing" that we could even "see" Pluto, with the primitive devices that we possessed. Now that we have Hubble, we can see more galaxies and phenomenas that pale in comparison, and so, the scientific yahoos, decided it was time for a reevaluation of long standing venues and pluto lost in the final equation.I wish you well..Jesse
I'm not about to let a self appointed panel of book worms and a geek tell me that they have the power to change the solar system to there liking. If they want there names in the annals of history than do something constructive. I will ignore there findings to the full existent of my ability's.An hold Pluto in it's rightful place in the immediate cosmos.
I think. the trouble with it is that the people don't like the changes, if tomorrow somebody comes to you and say: nothing is real, all is a big fat lie, maybe you belive it or don't, but if you believe it all will change, you family, your friends, everything. Maybe for you that Pluto don't be a planet anymore don't mean anything, but think about the older peole, all the life they know that above in the sky are eight planets. One day maybe a scientist'll tell us that the moon is only a rock floating in the space, and personally i still thinkig that it is our moon, not a rock.

What do you think about being an organ donor?
Answers:
I am one. I'm not going to need my organs after I die anyway. When God gets ready to resurrect my body, He'll find 'em.
I am a donor of all major organs (heart, liver, kidneys, eyes, etc.) but am not a donor of my entire body. I'd like something to go in the casket.
If you are dead, why not give them to some child who might live and be happy that you did.
I think it is the least we can do, especially in death, for those that cling so desperately to life. I don't know about anyone else, but the thought of being able to do something to save someone else's life is pretty awe-inspiring to me.
I am an organ donor and I think it's a great idea. You can give others the opportunity to live a good life and once your dead, you don't need the parts anymore. I believe in recycling everything!
sometmes I think its good -other times not so good
like ok if some guy is a drunk and now he damaged his liver why should I give him mine when I die?
and ok so if somebody has a genetic illness and needs a new liver and I give them mine and they then have kids who also need livers. well I dont think it is right because the first person would have died and therefore not had kids which is part of genetic selection
and now lets face it the human population is WAY HUGE - do we really need to be saving people?on the other hand its basic human compassion to want to help
It's a great thing. It's like, the last selfless act you can accomplish after you die. I honestly don't understand what problem that some people may have with giving away their healthy organs after they die.
All my parts are free for the taking when I'm gone. But to be honest, in my heart of hearts. sometimes I wonder if people get "let go" because organs are so valuable. I hope not!
It is a selfless act of love.
I don't know. It kind of has a creepy feeling to it. I'm safe guarding mine !
I think if you were injured in an accident and they could save you, but the Governor needed your liver, you would die.
They might take it anyhow even if you weren't a donor and sew some cabbage up in it's place.Doctors are lawyers with knives.
---attributed to Roy Rogers
I'm not sure how I feel about this. I think that I should get to make stipulations on who gets my organs. I think that no alcoholic should get my liver.
My mom doesn't want me to donate, though.
noway, so long as im alive
When I am done with this body, I will have no use for it. If parts of me can go on to help others live, then why not?
What do you think about applying well controlled HIBERNATION TECHNIQUES on humans ?
Answers:
Hello Eldon,Greetings. Hmm. Interesting idea you have there. Well-controlled hibernation techniques on humans. Planning for the next Ice age, eh? First of all, let me state that hibernation is a habit adopted by animals living in extreme climate to "adapt" themselves to the environment around them. It's not like a hobby or anything fun. As sentient beings, us humans perhaps, won't like to go in a "sleep" as long as a month or two. I mean c'mon! That'd be boring and humans are bored easily. Us humans value our lives more than any other species and would NOT like to sleep through it.Also, there's no need to do so. We are homeothermic beings living in environmental temperature well within the limits (as compared to the common hibernators- the polar bears who live in temperature as extreme as minus 37 degree Celsius). Also, note that our body temperature is not as easily affected by the surrounding temperature as some smaller mammals like squirrels etc.But yes, experiments on the Hibernation Induction Trigger HIT (read more about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/hibernation. are being carried out in NASA and chances are that this chemical will help keep organs safe in storage for longer periods of time by lowering their metabolism.Nevertheless, as Stephen Hawking has stated here: http://www.ysearchblog.com/archives/0003. , earth is subject to a lot of external and internal dangers in the next 100 or so years and we need to gear up for that. We might consider using HIT (see above) and modern gene manipulation tools to create an artificial metabolism suppressor mechanism to put ourselves to hibernation and lower our body's demands to survive longer and better in the Nuclear age, Third World War, Ice Age or a deadly comet hit.Thank you for the question.
in my opinion if those techniques could be applied over every single cell in the human body they would be worth it . i think it would be interesting to take advantage of this by applying it in people whit terminal deceases which are still whit out cure . however i do believe that for now on this is pure fiction and i pretty much think they would only make our lives shorter . however i do know that as i write this is the dream of every single scientific to be able to do it , maybe through nano technology . also think about how we are always evolving and making new discoveries , now think how behind or out of place u would feel if u were sleep for ten years or so and wake up suddenly just to find out how different the world is and how many people you did not had the chance to say good bye to .
sweet you can apply well controlled Hibernation Techniques on a human being man
what do you think about a biotech website geared towards the general public?
Answers:
I think it's a great idea. The general public is pretty misinformed when it comes to science but maybe it's because they don't have a resource.
nothing really, if you feel like it give it a go anyway
stop talking about it and start doing it! ;)
and i think you should be nice to your girlfriend and buy her a present..
That depends on the website. If it conveys information accurately and correctly in a way that the general public will learn from, that's great. If it says that you should sacrifice a goat to ward off evil spirits you might want to look elsewhere for your biotech information!
what do you regard as important and understanding and experience of autism and those with special needs?
Answers:
We are born the same.Anybody has specials needs.Everyone must to work to obtain what it is possible.So long we are just asking,will be heavy for all of us.We are the nature and the nature it is not wrong.The next day come for all with what it is.We can help us ,and I for You but and You for me,better understanding,better results!
firstly, it's important to have the right diagonis. secondly, educate yourself to the causes, rememdies, solutions, etc. (become aware) and lastly, with all the knowledge you acquire, apply it to those who need it. autism is certainly not hard to understand.
In autism and some special need disorders, the fundamental deficit is that there is no theory of mind - the person with the disorder cant visualize or understand the fact that other people have conscious experience and they might have different feelings and beliefs. Also, they may have difficulty understanding that another person has intentionality. I think that this is the core deficit behind these folks learning language in a functioning manner because this definetly involves understanding a theory of mind.
Remember that their behaviors have a purpose. Figuring out what the purpose of that behavior is and how to teach them the correct behavior to fulfill that purpose can be a challenge.There are somethings that you will look back on and laugh. So when your having difficulty, remember you might get to laugh about it later.
What do you predict for the next super weightloss drug, Acomplia?
The first FDA approved drug for the endocannabinoid system is about to be prescribed for weightloss, followed by smoking cessation. Do you think it is a superdrug? It's side-effects include increased memory! Whoa! What do you think?Drug name: Acomplia (aka. Rimonabant, aka. SR141716) from Sanofi-Aventis
Answers:
Well it doesn't look like it is a superdrug for weightloss and I think you are not objective about the drug. I bet it has some negative side effects. If it doesn't then I think it would be used as a drug for anything other than weightloss. Most likely it will be used for smoking cessation or for increasing short term memory and the doctor would tell you that you would lose 20 pounds a year as a side effect. It might even be prescribed for Korsakoff's Syndrome in addition to Thiamine.
I predict it will be like all weight loss drugs.not needed! Eat less+workout more! Always works!
I agree with hysteria777. Self control and staying fit beats any drug.
There are no superdrugs, as there are no supermen.Or - at least - I don't like this terminology. I don't like to exagerate in my life. This can be an effective medicine that will help in weight loss, as other did in the past. And why should we underevaluate Xenical(active substance : orlistat, company : Roche) that has another meccanism of action of course, but has been proven effective and having very few(known) adverse reactions?
As you have posted your Q, I can't understand if you refer to the economical success of the matter or to the acceptance by the public, as a breakthrough medicine.
From my experience, I think that the economical success will depend mostly from his prescription for smoking cessation, at least in Europe. This bad habbit is very frequent and I have more clients in my pharmacy asking about help for smoking cessation than loosing weight.Anyway, it is an interesting issue and I will try to come back afterwork(today, I am on duty in the pharmacy)and explain the meccanisms of action of the medicines that I have mentioned above, if somebody else will not do it before me.Katerina
We actually just had a seminar on this drug today. The drug Acomplia is a inverse agonist for the cannabinoid recptors. in other words, it does the opposite of smoking marajuana. it is supposed to be an appetite suppressant, increase short term memory, smoking cessation. Clinical studies showed that the drug only caused a very moderate weight loss - about 20 pounds in a year. Not really that great. But they are marketing it as a drug that would increase the quality of life. There is some kind of marketing/pharmacy phrase for it, but i can't remember it right now. The financial success of the drug will be pretty good from what i understand. The research on cannabinoid receptors is really taking off right now.gokay05tac - the one major concern about a side effect is dysphoria. in other words, if some one is depressed and takes this drug, it might complicate the matter. that could be a major concern especially if it is recommended for weight loss in a person that eats when they are depressed.
anthrax
Answers:
Well it doesn't look like it is a superdrug for weightloss and I think you are not objective about the drug. I bet it has some negative side effects. If it doesn't then I think it would be used as a drug for anything other than weightloss. Most likely it will be used for smoking cessation or for increasing short term memory and the doctor would tell you that you would lose 20 pounds a year as a side effect. It might even be prescribed for Korsakoff's Syndrome in addition to Thiamine.
I predict it will be like all weight loss drugs.not needed! Eat less+workout more! Always works!
I agree with hysteria777. Self control and staying fit beats any drug.
There are no superdrugs, as there are no supermen.Or - at least - I don't like this terminology. I don't like to exagerate in my life. This can be an effective medicine that will help in weight loss, as other did in the past. And why should we underevaluate Xenical(active substance : orlistat, company : Roche) that has another meccanism of action of course, but has been proven effective and having very few(known) adverse reactions?

what do you mean by erctile dys function, what are the treatments for the above?
Answers:
you can't let the whole damn thing stand or be hard if you have ED.
for the treatments avoid smoking, diet, exercise, avoid sugars and caffeine, take in vitmains, have a general lifestyle advice. meditation, yoga, relaxing and avoid stress as much as possible.
for the medications. levitra, cialis, viagra. viagra is the number one doctor prescribed for ED.
but you should always consult your doctor. bec. sildenafil citrate may have effects on your heart. it is essential that you should always go to a doctor if you want the medications for ED.
The inability to achieve full erection. Viagra and Levitra are available to "treat" ED.
what do you mean by asceptical process?
Answers:
An optical computer is a computer that uses bound electrons in isolating crystals instead of free electrons in transistors for computation. Its digital signals are modulated onto a carrier wave in the visible region. No modulator or demodulator exists, because the base band offers only 10 GHz bandwidth whereas the visible band offers 10 THz. It is similar to performing digital computation by a radio.One fundamental limit is the size. Optical fibres on an integrated optic chip are ten times wider than the traces on an integrated electronics circuit chip. The crystals have the same cross-section as the fibres, but need a length of about 1 mm and so are much larger than a transistor. Therefore signal traveling times will be large.A more practical limit is the crystal. Current crystals need light with 1 GW/cm虏 intensity. And as a typical die (in microelectronics) is about 1 cm虏, and some absorption takes place, this means kilowatts of power consumption, which only allows pulsed operation, but nanotubes may reduce this in the future.The biggest advantage in the near future is the synergy with optical telecommunication.

The process of preventing infection, free of
microorganisms.
A process in which living pathogenic organisms are absent, it is a sterile process.
Did you mean aseptic?It means the removal of microbes and contaminating matter, so that the thing involved is sterile and thus, eliminating the possibilities of infection.
Asceptical means you are gullible, and do not question anything.Aseptic technique is used in laboratories to ensure that sterile samples remain sterile or that no outside contaminants enter a system or microbiological culture.
Inflammation can be septic and aseptic.
Septic processes (inflammations) are those caused by pathogenic microorganisms. Examples of such inflammation are: tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, or meningitis caused by meningococcus.
Aseptic process is inflammation with all it's signs: 1. calor (raised temperature), 2. dolor (pain), 3. rubor (redness), 4. tumor (swelling), and 5. functio laesa (impaired function). The cause of this inflammation isn't microorganism, but substance that is foreign to the body (or that part of body). For instance, if gall comes in touch with peritoneum (when gallbladder ruptures) it can cause peritonitis (inflammation in abdomen) even though there are no pathogen microorganisms in gall. If there is extensive necrosis in some part of the body, it can also cause inflammation. For example, when bone is crushed but skin isn't penetrated - no microorganisms have entered - osteomielitis can appeare. That is inflammation with its 5 signs.
One note, in every inflammation (septic or aseptic) it is not necessary for all 5 signs to appear, and all combinations are possible.
I assume you mean asceptic technique. Once an area of a patient has been sterlized, you would use mask, gloves, gown, and not touch anything on or about the patient/area being operated upon.

what do you know about stem cell research? any programmes where you are??
Answers:
Stem Cells are blank or generic cells that have not specialised. By manipulating such cells they can be led to specialise and can have an important replacement for tissue or a regeneration effect. There are two basic sources of such stems cells:1. Foetal--from aborted babies. This is a good source but is full of ethical issues2. Adult--certain cells can be developed from adult tissue. This is much less controversialThis technology promises a range of treatments for illnesses that have plagued mankind.
Nothing. No. Only stems I know of here come from mushrooms.
I don't know about that, but i know my husband's life was saved by cloning HGH and by stem cell research. He has diabetes insipidus(water diabetes) and a thyroid condition caused by a brain tumor. Without the research, he'd have died.
stem cell research is all about taking cells for furture purpose. For treatment of diseases like bone marrow cancer
stem cells are non-specialized cells (everyone has this) which, by precise control by our body's control mechanisms can become any cell (e.g. skin cells, liver cells, blood cells). Embryonic stem cells (stem cells which are obtained from embryos=undeveloped fetuses) are the ones of considerable interest for researchers because these stem cells are capable of generating entire organs (though not yet proven)
What do you have to do when you want to be a doctor of oriental medicine; (herbalist, a herb doctor?)?
Answers:
It depends - it is the difference between a surgeon and a pharmacist. You might want to Google _oriental medicine careers_ to get an idea of the range of openings.The American College of Acupuncture %26 Oriental Medicine Master's degree admissions requirements are
"60 college semester hours or 90 quarter hours in any field must have received 42 credits of general education courses. In addition, those students admitted with 60 semester hours or 90 quarter hours will have to complete, if they have not already done so, at least 11 credits of basic science courses within the first two years of study."
http://www.acaom.edu/en/cms/?360.
Why to put so much effort into Quackery?
Isn't it better to study the scholar medicine first and then do research work to find substances that really works.
if you are interested in OM you must complete your studies at an accredited school in order to sit for national boards. here's a place to start: http://www.nccaom.org/ if you want to practice in CA, you must graduate from a CA approved school (their standards are much higher) http://www.acupuncture.ca.gov/
most schools are 3yrs full time, and offer part time tracks as well. there is another useful website: www.tcmstudent.com you'll want to think about which aspect of OM you're interested in - the esoteric, traditional, integrative etc. Be sure to visit a few schools, talk to as many people as you can and make sure to get some treatments by the students at the school. If you are only interested in herbology, then you'll want to finish a herbalist program which is quite different and not necessarily oriental based (such as western herbology )http://www.americanherbalistsguild.com/.
best of luck!
What do you guys think about Doctor-Patient Relationships? Good or Bad?
I just want to get your opinions cos I think its bad and during a converstaion with a friend whos is a medical student, she said its a good thing as long as it doesn't intefere with the Doctor's work. How true can that be?
Answers:
Are you saying "Doctor-Patient" relationship as in DATING? Because thats probably not what the medical student means. Doctor-Patient relationship refers to the interaction of physicians and patients on a professional basis.Physicians aren't supposed to date their patients, since that violates the "doctor-patient" relationship.
As long as it's professional it's a good thing.If it's a personal relationship, it depends. If the patient is still under treatment, i'd say it's not good. When it's outside practice and won't interfere with treatment, i think it's okay.I personally prefer not to get too personal with my patients.
I was told a long time ago "Don't ** (defecate) where you eat". If you're talking about sex between Dr. and Patient is not advisable and unprofessional.

What do you give a medical student for graduation?
We have a friend graduation med school. Are there certain gifts that medical students wish or hope to get upon graduation unique to their profession?
Answers:
I think most medical students would have all the equipment they need by now (i.e stethoscope, coat etc).How about something they can use on the job that will remind them of you when they are pulling double shifts etc!Maybe a nice fountain tip pen, or an original silk tie, a watch. Something sentimental.. get it engraved for something a bit more special.
Lots of money to pay off tuition expenses.
How about a cane, they must be pretty ancient by the time they graduate.
Of course: Depending on how much you want to spend, you can go with an engraved plaque with the Hippocratic Oath on it, a beautiful personalized business card holder for their desk, actually anything with the phrase Dr. and the grads name is always appreciated! If you want more ideas there's an internet company called "For Council" that has gifts for doctors/lawyers/ other professionals.Best of luck
A private practice in beverly hills.
something that they could use after they graduate.you could give them a stethoscope or any medical apparatus they could surely have a use for.if you have a lot of cash to burn, why not give them a place to start his own clinic? :D
a beer and a pat on the back
I agree with the previous answer - lots of money for the student loans. Also, lots of NoDoze - going through residency will cause them to miss a lot of sleep.
How about the classic leather Doctor's bag? Most of the students I came across have the equipment needed, but are carrying backpacks or stuffing things into lab coat pockets. Much more impressive to carry the black bag.
As medical practioneer, me think they have a "creed" to help people who are in need, unless ITS NOW ALL ABOUT MONEY. Me think give your friend a plane ticket to a place where his profession is needed most for say 3 months and the experience should make him worthy of the profession he/she choose for the rest of his/her career.
I dont agree.. as a med student i would really be offended if someone gives me money,, its not so great as a gift, its more like charity lol.
well u could maybe get this person either:
a cruise ticket. the mate needs a break after all this suffering
or a mobile phone.. great gift.. everyone needs a change when they go to the occupation world
Physician's coat, stethoscope, pen light or maybe a darn nice pen.
a doctor's visit
an apple

All of these fields are expanding due to the number of baby boomers needing medical, dental, and vision care. All are rewarding professions with lots of opportunities.
slightly better and much more complicated.
What do you do to relieve the pain of braces?
Answers:
Remove the brace and accept how you are.
I took Ibuprofen. That's the only thing that helped when I had braces. Otherwise, just tough it out. I had them for 6 years.
if you are talking about the headaches or mouth aches it gives, then tylenol helps, if you are talking about what they do to the inside of your mouth, only thing i know of is the wax they give you.
Just think of how good your gonna look when u get them off.
what. i just bear the pain. welcome to life! lol
oragel. it works really well.
I would take an anti-inflammatory like Ibuprofen, Alleve, or Orudis. Even aspirin is good. Tylenol is good for the pain, but it is not an anti-inflammatory. Good Luck!

You will require training as an Emergency Medical Technician, or EMT. Check with your state health department, or drop by a fire station or ambulance station to find out how you can receive training.Way the heck back when, in rural areas they would accept Advanced First Aid (40 hours) or First Responder (60 hours) for volunteers to help with ambulance work. However, EMT (with at least 140 hours) is the most training you can receive without additional experience. This is to say, if you want to go on and be a paramedic, you need at least a year of experience as an EMT, and to have your department approve the decision. Paramedic is about 2,000 hours of training and experience, and involves the application of some invasive procedures that can be very dangerous to apply in the field.So! Stop by and find out what it's like in your state and your area. Maybe you can be a volunteer, or possibly start a career as a paid EMT someday. Salaries are low, the working conditions are poor, and it's probably not as much excitement as you think it is. It can be very rewarding.

Paramedics and Emergency Medical Technicians are the most common occupations associated with ambulances. Some places have a paramedic paired with an ambulance driver. The driver cannot administer any care to the patient beyond helping the paramedic put the patient on the stretcher and then loading the stretcher.

EMTs and Paramedics.EMTs can function in the back of an ambulance by themselves. Paramedics require more training and can do more advanced and invasive procedures.EMTs can handle any and all emergencies, Paramedics augment that care. If no Paramedics are available, EMTs can still handle the situation, just not with more advanced skills.
An EMT- Basic is the person that usually drives the ambulance and assists with injuries and illnesses. People certified at the B level cannot perform certain procedures; however, they can and do take blood pressures, temps, assist with IV set up, and are generally responsible for cleanups, etc. Each state is different, and there are different regulations on what an EMT - B can do in each state. An EMT - Basic+ has gone to a class to learn to start IV lines in people. With this license, you have to do a clinical in a hospital or on the ambulance, and you usually have to get 30 or more successful sticks before they consider you EMTB+. An EMT - Intermediate is a little more qualified to perform procedures and in some cities, an EMT - I and an EMT - B are the ones operating the ambulance, but again, that depends on the state and what they allow EMT - Intermediates to do. In most states, they are allowed to drop IV's, start certain medications and other things.An EMT - Paramedic is licensed to do anything. This is the highest level of the Emergency Medical Technician, and most degrees take 2 years, and when you are done, you will be awarded with an AAS in Paramedicine. The NREMT, or National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians, is a registry that allows an EMT to work in any state that accepts NREMT status. Good luck!
they're called paramedics and good luck.I really admire your enthusiasm!
Paramedics or EMTs - most community collegs have medic or EMT training. You can also contact your local Medic squad and request to do a 'ride-along' - that way you really see if that's what you want to do - b/c it can get super gruesome - you'd be amazed at how the human body can break/bend/contort in extreme environments.
