Can BCG be Used to Control Lupus?
Patients suffering from Systemic Lupus Erythromatus (SLE) are at increased risk of opportunistic infections, especially Tuberculosis. Both these diseases are known to be intricately linked. Interestingly, it has recently been observed that infecting SLE patients with Mycobacterium tuberculosis resulted in decreased expression of biomarkers for SLE, indicating that TB is able to control lupus. However, the inflammatory biomarkers are known to get elevated in SLE patients suffering from opportunistic TB infection. In order to verify whether TB can be used to treat lupus, mouse models of lupus were treated with BCG vaccine, w...

Weighing the Benefits and Risks of Breast Reconstruction Surgery After Mastectomy
By Fonthip Maspithak
Breast cancer is no longer the death sentence it was decades ago. Improved medical interventions result in more survivors – even with the most aggressive forms of cancer. While women are concerned for their health, they may also be concerned about restoring the appearance of their breasts, leading them to consider breast reconstruction – a procedure performed after a mastectomy to restore the breast to its original size and shape. While it has risks, new methods provide women with greater and safer options to regain their previous shape.
Breast reconstruction is a major personal decision. ...

Advancements of Scientific Research
By Jessica Reynolds
Over the many decades involving research, knowledge, and the progress of science, we can see and understand the differences in how scientists have changed their processes. Studying electrons in the 1900’s was vastly different from the way we study electrons today; not only with the modern technology we have available, but with regulations that have been implemented.
Science and technology are constantly growing and changing; this will never stop. We have many people, ideas, and events to thank for the way our knowledge about how everyday things or incurable diseases are shaping our lives.
The Intern...

Is Expectorant provokes Surgical Intricacy?
Are we wondering what expectorant does in human? It is a cough syrup we intake during suppressive immunity and bacterial infections. Expectorants are made of different medicinal drugs entangled together to relieve a sufferer from dry cough and tickling throat.It is quite fascinating that it has been an end for cough syrups which solely contained pholcodine. This waving drug is also known as morpholinylethylmorphine which can be in syrup form on consumption. Initially it had no side effects in young ones as it would relieve the tickling throats and sore throat.
Recent survey in Australia has suspected the drug could cause t...

Nanotechnology in Conjunction with Stem Cell Research
Regenerative medicine is an emerging multidisciplinary field that aims to restore or enhance the tissues and organ functions. Regeneration of tissues can be achieved by the combination of living cells, which will provide biological functionality,and materials which act as scaffolds to support cell proliferation. Human beings suffer from a myriad of disorders leading to organ failure. Stem cell research may be the last hope for restoring function. Stem cells in Nanotechnology are among the newest veins of biotechnological research. Nanotechnology is not only an excellent tool to produce material structures that mimic the bi...

Study shows Exercise can Reduce the Risk of Kidney Stones in Older Women
According to the result of a study conducted by experts in USA, exercise may lower the risk of developing kidney stones.The experts examined data from over 85,000 older women who were 50 or above the age of 50.The participants were surveyed so that experts could keep track of what they were eating. The scientists intended to take into account the factors that lowered the risk of kidney stones such as consuming less meat and drinking lot of fluids.
The participants reported how much physical activity they got into which was translated into METs – which is a measure of how much effort is put into an activity. Getting i...

Laser Tissue Welding
A tissue that is damaged or injured can be repaired /regenerated. Some tissue injuries can be repaired by simple methods as Stitches and staples. But as the scientific techniques are becoming more advanced, these Stitches and staples may be on their wayto becoming a thing of the past as we have a developing technology known as Laser Tissue Welding. This has the potential to produce stronger seals and expand use of this, alternative to conventional suture and stapling especially in intestinal surgery.
In this standard laser tissue welding, a laser is used to precisely heat the body tissue at the edges of the wound. This hel...
