Answers:
i know someone. YOU! ;) when you say you stimulate their appearance with your mind, that's one big talent.. i tried it and didn't get the same results..
I've never known of anyone who could do that .. tho I used to work with a guy who could puke into his own hand and then eat it back . your ability sounds nicer
that's cool lol. I don't know anyone who can do that at will.

Answers:
goosebumps are caused by arrector pilli muscles in the dermis layer of the skin at the base of hair follicles. They are normally stimulated by fear or cold. Many people assume that when we are cold, we get goosebumps and that will warm us up. That's not true. We do not have enough hair on our body for this to produce enough heat to warm us up significantly. Maybe at one time we did, but over time, we've lost a lot of hair! Goosebumps may have also been used as a defense mechanism at one time when we did have a lot of hair on our body. Because they make our hair shafts look erect, when humans did have a lot of hair in prehistoric times, when all of the hair on their bodies stood straight out, it made them look bigger and more fearsome.It is possible for you to make goosebumps appear on your skin because most of the time, goosebumps are a result of psychological stimulation (being scared or feeling cold). hope this helps!
i can its annoying though

guys my fren who has got bachelor degree in bio engg..wants to do medicine..in u.s.is he eligible..if yes do u know websites that can giv him more information regardin this.?? thanx.
Answers:
I am almost postive he is .. he should google it..
no.or maybe, he can call around to different schools and ask
hey friend! i think u should inqure this to the respective college in u.s bcoz hw could be any one knowing it , sitting here.. well i wish he will be elligible.
Generally speaking a prospective applicant may have a degree in any field, as long as they have completed the additional pre-requisite courses required for the program they wish to enter. These usually include several biology classes, general and organic chemistry, psychology, physics, english, and calculus. If the current degree meets all pre-requisites then he should be fine! I encourage your friend to contact the programs he is interested in and speak to an admissions counselor regarding the classes needed to apply. University websites also have 'prospective student' pages with admissions information. Good luck!

Growing new blood vessels.. comments and procedures?
pls post ur comments about this.. give some:
introduction, procedure how to do it, suggestions, etc.. anything related to the topicpls answer.. for those peeps that will answer me : Thanks a lot.. I love you all!!
Answers:
not much problem my friend :) this is a common procedure named "Angiogenesis" and very easily to do using a chemical named VEGF or another one named MMPtry this link :)
New blood vessels can be formed from existing ones by a process known as angiogenesis. When there is some form of injury whereby the basement membrane of the exising endothelium breaks down via proteolysis, endothelial cells start to migrate towards the source of the angiogenic stimulus. This is down by cytokines and requires basic Fibroblast Growth Factor and Vascular endothelial growth factor. Then the endothelial cells proliferate mature and form smoothm muscles for vascular control. Finally the basement membrane grows around the endothelial cells. until the formation of the basement membrane, the new vessel remains leaky. In tumor formation, this process is know as neovascularization. The process is similar but the stimuli are differentHopes this helps

Groups that support stem cell research? Groups that oppose stem cell research?
I can't seem to find specific groups for a project, please help.
Answers:
It depends on what kind of stem cell research. I think your question concerns embryonic stem cell research. If you use the words embryonic and oppose in a search you might get groups that oppose it. The Roman Catholic Church is one such group. Groups that support it, I guess the Democratic National Party or whatever it is called, would however likely only call it stem cell research and ignore the type it is. Adult stem cell research is moral and has potential and I am unaware of any opposition to it. However, those making money off of the current research probably oppose it for wealth reasons without admitting it.

Hi You mean other than the two political parties in power? People who would benefit from our understanding of stem cells (and the possibility of making artificial ones) tend to support the research.

Bronchial Provocation Test
What is a Bronchial Provocation test?
The bronchial provocation test evaluates how sensitive the airways in your lungs are. A spirometry breathing test is done before and after you inhale a spray. One example of the spray that may be inhaled is methacholine. Spirometry can show how much air you can breathe in and out. It also shows how fast you can breathe in and out. The spirometry results are compared before and after you inhale the spray to see what changes there are in your breathing. You will be given additional information in PPU at the time of the test.A larygoscopy may be scheduled after the bronchial provocation test. A larygoscopy is often done to identify if your vocal cords may be causing you to have trouble breathing.How do you get ready for the test?
Please follow these directions when getting ready for this test. These medicines will affect the results of some of these tests and need to be stopped before the testing is done. If the medicine is not stopped before the test we will not be able to complete the test.Stop this inhaled medicine for 7 days before your appointment:
Spiriva庐 (tiotropium)
Stop these inhaled medicines for 48 hours before your appointment: Advair庐 (Serevent庐 and Flovent庐)
Serevent庐 (Salmeterol)
Foradil庐 (Formoterol)
Intal庐 (Cromolyn), Tilade庐 (Nedocromil)
Stop these inhaled medicines for 24 hours before your appointment:
Atrovent庐 (Ipratropium), Combivent庐
Stop these oral medicines for 24 hours before your appointment:
Accolate庐 (zafirlukast)
Zyflo庐 (zileuton)
Singular庐 (montelukast)
Stop these oral medicines for 24 hours before your appointment:
Volmax庐, Ventolin庐, Proventil庐, Proventil Repetabs庐 (Albuterol), Metaprel庐 (Metaproterenol), Bricanyl庐, Bethaine庐 (Terbutaline)
Stop these inhaled medicines for 6-8 hours before your appointment:
Proventil庐, Ventolin庐 (Albuterol), Xopenex庐 (Levalbuterol), Maxair庐 (Pirbuterol), Alupent庐, Metaprel庐 (Metaproterenol), Brethaire庐, Brethine庐 (Terbutaline), Tornalate庐 (Bitolterol), Bronkosol庐 (Isoetharine), Isuprel庐 (Isoproterenol), Primatene庐 Mist.
Continue to take all your other medicine as you usually do.
Adults - If a laryngoscopy is scheduled at the same time, do not eat for 2 hours before the test is scheduled.
Children - If a laryngoscopy is scheduled at the same time, do not eat for 3 hours before the test is scheduled. What is done during the bronchial provocation test?
You will do a number of breathing tests. You will be asked to inhale a spray between the breathing tests. The technician will explain what you need to do during each test. A good effort during the testing is important to get good results. The technician will coach you during each test to help you give a good effort. If you have questions during the tests, please ask the technician.You may be asked to sit in a Plexiglas booth for some of the testing. This booth is called a body box or plethysmograph. You will do different breathing techniques, blowing into a tube, while in the booth. Each breathing technique is often repeated to make sure the test is reliable.If your doctor has scheduled you for a laryngoscopy this will be done right after the breathing tests are completed. During the laryngoscopy a doctor will place a small tube (fiberoptic probe) in your nose. The tube is passed through your nose to the back of your throat after topical anathesia is applied. The movement of the vocal cords can be seen with the probe. Please do not eat 2 to 3 hours prior to the test if a Laryngoscopy has been scheduled.How long will the test take?
Bronchial provocation testing often takes 1 陆 to 2 hours.There is a simple asthma test. You will blow into a machine called a spirometer, both before and after taking an inhaled medicine. This test is positive for asthma if the result after the inhaled medicine is 20% higher than it was before the inhaled medicine.There is a complex asthma test that is the gold standard for diagnosing asthma. This is called a methacholine challenge. You will blow into a spirometer before and after each increasing dose of an inhaled medicine. This test is positive for asthma if the result after the inhaled medicine is 20% lower than it was before the inhaled medicine.Clinical trials boost for asthma test
8 October 2002A US company developing a laser-based system for asthma diagnosis has received a cash boost to support clinical trials.Ekips Technologies received USD 100 000 from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to help obtain FDA approval of a laser-based system for diagnosing asthma.The device, called the Breathmeter, works by monitoring spectroscopically the concentration of nitric oxide (NO) in exhaled breath. High levels of the molecule are an indication of an undiagnosed asthmatic patient, or of a known asthmatic whose treatment is not working sufficiently. A recent study concluded that up to 40% of asthma patients in the US received inadequate medication for their condition.Clinical trials of the Breathmeter are underway at The Lung Center in Oklahoma. The optical system uses tunable diode-laser spectroscopy (TDLAS) in the mid-infrared to detect NO.The setup is based around a IV-VI double-heterostructure laser made from an alloy of lead, strontium and selenium, with an active region similar in composition to lead selenide. The tunable device emits at around 5.2 碌m. It measures levels of carbon dioxide simultaneously, which acts as an internal calibration standard for exhaled NO and corrects for any variations in the flow of gas exhaled.Patrick McCann, an Oklahoma University researcher who founded Ekips, told Optics.org that the PbSrSe laser is the only laser device currently sensitive enough for asthma diagnosis. "Quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) have been operated at room temperature and used to measure NO, but they have not been able to measure the low concentrations [of around 1 part per billion] that are needed for breath measurements," he said."Cryogenic cooling and continuous-wave operation of QCLs improves sensitivity to the necessary range, but then the integration times become too long for real-time analysis."McCann believes that this demonstration of IV-VI lasers for practical healthcare will serve as a new benchmark for laser performance. He adds that key areas where IV-VI lasers are superior to QCLs are wide tunability and low waste heat generation.Mark Camp is a lead investigator in the clinical trials, which are taking place at The Lung Center in Oklahoma. He says that the Ekips system looks promising: "Early results show that it provides consistent exhaled NO measurements related to airway inflammation - even when NO measurements vary widely due to environmental conditions."The clinical trials are expected to be completed in mid-2003. Breath tests for other gases that absorb in the mid-infrared could potentially be used to diagnose conditions as diverse as lung cancer and schizophrenia.Asthma affects about one out of every twenty persons. Typical symptoms include cough, especially with exercise, shortness of breath, chest tightness, wheezing (a whistling sound made breathing out, usually associated with shortness of breath) and a lingering cough after colds. It's often inherited, so other family members might have asthma or other allergic disorders. The test for asthma is a simple and painless breathing test called spirometry (pulmonary function test) and involves blowing forcefully into a tube. Asthma specialists, such as allergists and pulmonologists, can usually perform this test in their office. If you think you might have asthma, ask your doctor to suggest a good asthma specialist for you to see. Good luck, Dr. White -- Dr. Martha Vetter White, MD, is cofounder and director of research at the Institute for Asthma %26Allergy in the Washington, DC metropolitan area, one of the nation's most active clinical research centers devoted to allergy, asthma, and sinusitis.

Good eve. How come the body rewards itself with a high if you starve the brain of oxygen?
WHAT THE HOOZLE FRAZZLE
Answers:
It is actually not the starvation of oxygen (which will cause immediate loss of consciousness) but the buildup of carbon dioxide that causes the euphoric or confused sensation. This is called carbon dioxide narcosis.Why questions with anything in the body are best addressed to your maker (not your parents.God). BUT, many physicians and people of science think this is your brain's way of dealing with the pain and stress of asphyxiation. It gets dopey so you don't worry so much as you die.Of course, when you survive, all is good.then the headache comes to tell you not to do that again.My $0.02
My body doesn't. I get confused and can't make sense of things. Or are you talking about getting a high from starving someone ELSE's brain of oxygen?
Well I would think that its a matter of opinion if a high about to faint type feeling is a reward or a punishment. Im sure it depends on who you are and what you're trying to accomplish at that moment in time. Its just a physical effect that oxygen deprivation has on you just like tingling in the extremeties and weakness. That is the hozzle frazzle. Word.
It is how some people perceive the sensation it causes.
It is best not to experiment with this, check the Journal of Forensic Medicine for images of auto-asphyxiation. The mechanism you describe is accurate, but it is not clear how it comes about. Neuronal cell death results in firing of the Neuron, this is also prob. the cause of "white light" experience in near-death reports.

Glyceryl Trinitrate?
Whilst at the scene of an accident a doctor once told me that if your were trying to insert a venous cannula into a patient who,s periferal circulation had shut down,you could achieve a local reaction on a vein by spraying the skin with GTN,Has anyone known this to work?
Answers:
I've heard of nitroglycerin used to dilate veins for venous access, but I've never personally seen it done. In theory, it might work, but I believe the action would be too slow to do much good prehospitally.
Nitroglycerin is often applied topically to achieve systemic results throughout the body, though, and topical nitro can be used to relieve chest pain, i.e nitro paste. It acts fairly quickly, but definitely not as quickly as sublingual nitro. Personally, I'm pretty convinced that nitro won't do much good for venous access (it would work too slowly to do much good in a situation where the peripheral circulation had vasoconstricted to that extent. A better choice for venous access would be an external jugular or femoral vein. These are often even usable during cardiac arrest!
Hope this helps!
Glyceryl Trinitrate is a drug but it's also an explosive.
As a drug it's used to treat heart failure and other things.
As an explosive it's used for demolition and stuff.
glyceryl trinitrate is also known as nitroglycerin. It is a potent vasodilator (is makes the vein or artery dilate or get larger). if someone's peripheral circulation has shut down due to shock, it basically means the body has vasconstricted itself due to insufficient circulatory supply (due to hemorrhage, cardiac arrest, etc.) I don't know if GTN applied topically would be absorbed fast enough to cause this peripheral vasodilatation locally for IV insertion. I have certainly never used it my practice.
Most aerosolized GTN is applied to a mucous membrane, where the blood supply is much more accessable. It is used primarily for chest pain (because it dilates the coronary arteries).
BTW, the vasodilation effects of nitroglycerin were first observed by men manufacturing the product for explosives use.
Its a vasodilator, i.e makes the blood vessels enlarge. Used under the tongue to ease angina. Not sure if it works on the skin though

Glaucoma experts please help?
there are many types and subtypes of glaucoma the open angle and the one which is narrowed or blocked angle glaucoma. There are many drugs used to manage these types of glaucoma. I have found out that adrenergic agonists(sympathomimetic) /alpha agonists are used to treat OPEN ANGLE glaucoma. My question is 1. why are these adrenergic agonists used in glaucoma when in fact they mimic the sympathetic response they cause pupillary dilation which increases intraocular pressure which is contraindicated in glaucoma, please explain how it can help in glaucoma if it causes pupil dilation? I have also found out that beta blockers(sympatholytic) suppress the sympathetic response causing pupil constriction decreasing intraocular pressure which helps in glaucoma. Cholinergic drugs/parasympatholytic mimic parasympathe response also helps by pupil constriction. and for open +narrow glaucoma 2. is my understanding correct? which drugs are used for which type? 3.why are benzodizepines not for glaucoma
Answers:
There goes the answers to your questions:
Adrenergic agonists are effective in reducing intra ocular pressure.. (IOP).. this is a well established fact. hteir mechanism of action is by increasing conventional trabecular uveoscleral outflow of aquoes from the anterior chamber of the eye so reducing the IOP.There are two types of adrenergic agonist. which are a) non selective: as epinephrin (eyedrops preparation called epifirin). but although these agents decrease IOP they are no longer used in treating glaucoma due to multiple side effects. as irritation and mydriasis and CME and rapid tolerance..
you will hardly find any physician really treating glaucoma using epinephric nowadays.. b) selective adrenergic agonists:.. these agents selectively stimualte alpha 2 adrenergic receptors.. teh best known highly selective alpha 2 adrenergic agonist is brimonidine.. known in the market as Alphagan eyedrops.. very popular. that drug by selectively stimulating the alpha 2 receptors only will decrease IOP while avoiding the side effects that were caused by nonselective agents that stimulated all receptor types. so it doesn't cause pupil dilatation like the nonselective agents.. the drug Alphagan is used in markets widely nowadays and is a good effective drug and is a selective alpha 2 agonist..
As for Beta blockers.. .: they are effetive agents in reducion of IOP.. and they are still used in the market .. as Timolol.. or in the famous combination eyedrops Cosopt which is a combination of beta blocker and acetazolamide.. beta blockers do NOT cause pupilary constriction.. they just have systemic side effects that can be serious sometims and are contraindicated in some cases as asthma and heart block.. their mechanism of IOP reduction is by inhibiting cAMP production so reduce aquoes secretion.. you should not really try to explain the mechanism of action of every anti-glaucoma medicaiton by its effect on the pupil.. All of the antiglaucoma medications can be used in open angle and angle closure glaucoma.. with some prefernces of course.. however the important MIOTIC to use in termination of angle closrue glaucoma attack is Pilocarpine which is a parasympathomimetic agent.. directly acting on cholinergic receptors.. it does cause miosis.. but other than miosis it is a potent antiglaucoma medication that decreases IOP and can be used in treating open angle glaucoma but is no more in fashion due to side effects and the availbility of better medications nowadays.. one thing in your question: cholinergic drugs are parasympathomimetics not lytics.. that is they mimic parasypmathetic. like pilocarpine that act on end organ cholinergic receptors.. the betablocker eye drops doesn't act on the autonomic nervous system at all.. although it is a parasympatholyitic in theory. but it acts on teh beta receptors present on ciliary epithiliuem decreasing aqous producion.. i hope this is clear.. As for benzodiazepines .. it is a group of tranquilizer drugs.. why would it be used in glaucoma??!! .. you might have meant brinzolamide.. or acetazolamide.. and both belong to the group of carbonic anhydraze inhibitor.. .. both of these drugs are used in glaucoma treatment.. avaiable in teh market as eyedrops preparation Azopt (Alcon), and Trusopt (MSD).. and in combination as Cosopt (MSD)
and acetazolamide can be takes orally as cidamex tabs or injections (Diamox) for management of acute glaucoma attacks.. hope that answers you..
you can contact me in case you need further elaboration..
Adrenergic agents like adrenalin are SYMPATHOMIMETIC and dilate pupil and are NEVER used in glaucoma..Parasympatholytics like atropine hyoscine also are NEVER used. Pilocarpine Acetyl choline Neostigmine and Physostigmine are parasympathomimetic and so can be used in glaucoma to constrict pupils. Diamox is a diuretic works by inhibiting the enzyme carbonic anhydrase and used specifically for glaucoma.

(IOP).. this is a well established fact. hteir mechanism of action is by increasing conventional trabecular uveoscleral outflow of aquoes from the anterior chamber of the eye so reducing the IOP.There are two types of adrenergic agonist. which are a) non selective: as epinephrin (eyedrops preparation called epifirin). but although these agents decrease IOP they are no longer used in treating glaucoma due to multiple side effects. as irritation and mydriasis and CME and rapid tolerance..
you will hardly find any physician really treating glaucoma using epinephric nowadays.. b) selective adrenergic agonists:.. these agents selectively stimualte alpha 2 adrenergic receptors.. teh best known highly selective alpha 2 adrenergic agonist is brimonidine.. known in the market as Alphagan eyedrops.. very popular. that drug by selectively stimulating the alpha 2 receptors only will decrease IOP while avoiding the side effects that were caused by nonselective agents that stimulated all receptor types. so it doesn't cause pupil dilatation like the nonselective agents.. the drug Alphagan is used in markets widely nowadays and is a good effective drug and is a selective alpha 2 agonist..
As for Beta blockers.. .: they are effetive agents in reducion of IOP.. and they are still used in the market .. as Timolol.. or in the famous combination eyedrops Cosopt which is a combination of beta blocker and acetazolamide.. beta blockers do NOT cause pupilary constriction.. they just have systemic side effects that can be serious sometims and are contraindicated in some cases as asthma and heart block.. their mechanism of IOP reduction is by inhibiting cAMP production so reduce aquoes secretion.. you should not really try to explain the mechanism of action of every anti-glaucoma medicaiton by its effect on the pupil.. All of the antiglaucoma medications can be used in open angle and angle closure glaucoma.. with some prefernces of course.. however the important MIOTIC to use in termination of angle closrue glaucoma attack is Pilocarpine which is a parasympathomimetic agent.. directly acting on cholinergic receptors.. it does cause miosis.. but other than miosis it is a potent antiglaucoma medication that decreases IOP and can be used in treating open angle glaucoma but is no more in fashion due to side effects and the availbility of better medications nowadays.. one thing in your question: cholinergic drugs are parasympathomimetics not lytics.. that is they mimic parasypmathetic. like pilocarpine that act on end organ cholinergic receptors.. the betablocker eye drops doesn't act on the autonomic nervous system at all.. although it is a parasympatholyitic in theory. but it acts on teh beta receptors present on ciliary epithiliuem decreasing aqous producion.. i hope this is clear.. As for benzodiazepines .. it is a group of tranquilizer drugs.. why would it be used in glaucoma??!! .. you might have meant brinzolamide.. or acetazolamide.. and both belong to the group of carbonic anhydraze inhibitor.. .. both of these drugs are used in glaucoma treatment.. avaiable in teh market as eyedrops preparation Azopt (Alcon), and Trusopt (MSD).. and in combination as Cosopt (MSD)
and acetazolamide can be takes orally as cidamex tabs or injections (Diamox) for management of acute glaucoma attacks.. hope that answers you..
you can contact me in case you need further elaboration..
Adrenergic agents like adrenalin are SYMPATHOMIMETIC and dilate pupil and are NEVER used in glaucoma..Parasympatholytics like atropine hyoscine also are NEVER used. Pilocarpine Acetyl choline Neostigmine and Physostigmine are parasympathomimetic and so can be used in glaucoma to constrict pupils. Diamox is a diuretic works by inhibiting the enzyme carbonic anhydrase and used specifically for glaucoma.
Given the acute shortage of organs, why do we still accord a higher status to the deceased than to the living?
In England, and I suspect in the USA, too, thousands of terminally ill patients are waiting for a transplant of some kind, many will be unlucky and will die before an organ can be found. Why do people still morally object to changing the law to an "opt out" system that countries in Europe have used successfully, whereby if you object to having your organs harvested after you die for medical use you can make your opinon known to the authorities before that fateful day and automatically come off the donar register list. Do we value the life of the dead more than the living?
Answers:
I should not have to take extra steps to keep what belongs to me. Besides, the world hates me. Why should I do it any favors?
a very good question, which is why after my death I say take what you need because I want need it anymore.
Short answer, yes. Long answer we are obsessed with death and somehow knowing that their bodies will not be touched after death gives some people comfort. I guess the thought behind is akin to ancient egyptians mummification philosophy. However unless religious practices change I don't think anyone can do anything about it.

Given that there is no proof for psychsomatic illness in a specific individual, what stops the medical.?
.profession incorrectly deferring to the mind as a cause for an unknown/undiscovered physical cause of a patients symptoms ?
Answers:
Not entirely certain I understand the question, but I can say that I have seen first hand how simply stress can impair healing and increase blood glucose. I can also say that just because we blame the mind for a physical symptom, doesn't nesecarily mean that there isn't a physical cause for it. It simply means we havn't discvoered the physical link to the mind. Tension headaches are a form of psychosomatic illness. Stress causes the HA directly. In this case however, we know how the stress causes the HA. It causes the person to tense muscles wich eventually hurts. Also, researchers/doctors/ don't know everything about anything. What we call psychosomatic in 100 years could be a simple "oh, you have X, do Y and Z, and you will be fine."
Im a med student. let me say i can number various causes from hormonal changes to bioquem reactions that take place in the brain.
When the mind weeps the body suffers
What kind of proof would be acceptable to you? Psychosomatic illness such as stress affects the immune system. If the immune system is not functioning properly, you will get sick somatically. Are you waiting for a scientific report with hypothesis testing results?
Many physicians, especially those that specialize in environmental medicine and/or functional medicine do not believe in the general concept of psychosomatic illness. The brain is a biological organ just like the heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, etc. Any brain dysfunction is likely to have a 'real cause' just like in the other organs.However, I believe you are really asking about the tendency of some physicians to 'blame the patient' by labeling their complaints 'psychosomatic' when the doctor cannot explain the cause of those complaints. This is irrational, even immature, thinking.Every currently understood disease was 'unexplainable' until it was 'explained'. Many known diseases (meaning with known causes) were once labeled 'psychosomatic'.Not long ago, Schizophrenia was routinely blamed on the parenting skills of the mother of the schizophrenic! Now, while the fundamental causes are not yet determined, it is a well accepted fact that schizophrenia is a biological/biochemical disorder.Frankly, any doctor that would label a patient's condition as caused by a psychosomatic illness is suspect. Yes, there are rare, very rare, cases of psychoses that express themselves as somatic dysfunctions. Most patients with unexplainable symptoms however, have real symptoms that the doctor lacks the knowledge and/or expertise to explain!

Give two examples of omega 3 fatty acid. Find out why they are called omega 3 fatty acids.?
Answers:
i know sammon contains a lot of omega 3 and also flax seed oil but i'm not sure about that one. here's a site to check it out on http://www.omega-3info.com/home.htm. good luck
umm soda maybe?
eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)The omega fatty acids are named for the position of the first double bond in their carbon chains. Thus, the first double bond in the omega-6's begins at the sixth carbon atom from the end of the chain. The first double bond in the omega-3's begins at the third carbon position from the end of the chain
John H. is correct. The term is based on where the first double bond occurs, it does not denote the number of double bonds in the molecule simply where the first one starts. But I wish to clarify a fatty acid has 2 ends. Chemists view where the double bond begins from the acid end. Nutritionists view where the first double bond begins from the fatty end or the tail end. This is the view that wins, it is where the first double bond begins from the Tail end.
many seed oils and fish oils have omega 3's the others gave the definition
Three examples of omega-3's:1) Alpha-Linolenic Acid (ALA)2) Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA)3) Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA)ALA is found in plant sources such as Flaxseeds and walnuts. DHA and EPA are found in fish oils.

give three examples of both genotypes and phenotypes?
Answers:
Genotype is the trait inherited
Phenotype is the physical attributeE.g.:
a. Genotype- height
Phenotype- short or tallb. Genotype- fur colour
Phenotype- black or brown (taking into account that it is a mouse)c. Genotype- hair
Phenotype- straight or curly
Your genotype is, quite simply, the traits in your genes.Your phenotype is just the traits you show physically.So, for example, in your genotype you may have genes for brown eyes and blue eyes, but your phenotype can't have both brown and blue (very very rare), so your phenotype is EITHER brown OR blue.Another example, your genotype may show genes for both attached and unattached earlobes, but your phenotype shows ONLY the attached or unattached earlobes.You cannot determine a person's genotype just by looking at the phenotype, and you cannot determine a person's phenotype just by looking at the genotype.
1. genotype= for eye color B(brown)b(blue) phenotype=brown eyes 2.genotype= for blood type AO phenotype= type A 3.genotype= for 4'oclock flowers RW phenotype= pink color
Give reasons to the statement : Science will be destroyed with the end of man?
I needed some comentary on that statement
Answers:
Science will not be destroyed with the end of Man.Science is a collection of theories. Theses are abstract concepts, not objects. However, scientists are very good about writing things down. There is ample evidence of Man's scientific endeavors.There are no intelligent beings currently on Earth (that we know of), So there is no other group to whom Man could transfer its knowledge. However, that does not mean that at some point in the future, other intelligent beings might not happen upon Earth and discover Man's work, thereby reviving what we have accomplished.As well, there will be monuments of science all over the globe. Skyscrapers and nuclear missiles and hospital operating rooms will exemplify our feats (at least until Earth destroys all of it).
Because it was thought up by men not God.
Because man will destroy the world with science.
I would have to say that science will be destroyed with the end of man because man is the only animal that quests for knowledge beyond what is need to survive. No more man, no more science.
Read the book entitled The End of the World: The Science and Ethics of Human Extinction
Science is a man made artifact. It will remain on books but since there will be no one to read it, may be as well as dead.
Actual science is an active process that keeps going just as languages are, because they are spoken, science is made and practiced.
So no man, no science.
man comes first, and then comes science. so: no man, no science. I AGREE

Give of differences between arterics & veins.?
Answers:
the spelling obviously.
Artery - a blood vessel that carries blood away from the heart.Vein - a blood vessel that conveys blood from tissues back to the heart.
arteries carrie blood away from the heart, veins return blood to the heart, except for in the lungs, the pulmonary vein takes blood from the heart, and the the pulmonary artery returns it, so that it can take oxygeyn to the blood
Arteries:
1. carry blood away from heart.
2. have walls are thick and muscular
3. have small lumen
4. have no valves.
5. blood flows with jerks.
6. flow of blood is fast
7. except pulmonary artery all carry oxygenated blood.Veins:
1. carry blood towards the heart.
2. have thin and non muscular walls.
3. have larger lumen.
4. have valves to check back flow of blood.
5. blood flows smoothly.
6. flow of blood is not so fast
7. except pulmonary vein all carry deoxygenated blood
Well assuming that you meant arteries instead of arterics ,,,,,, Arteries are major corridors for the transference of blood through out the body from the heart ,,,, Blood vessels ,, veins and capillaries are minor and smaller corridors that branch off of the arteries and go to specific parts of the body ,,,, Yoda said that
The Oxford Dictionary of Current English, 3rd Edition defines them this way: (1) arteries- "any of the tubes through which blood flows from the heart around the body." (2) veins-"any of the tubes forming part of the circulation system by which blood is carried from all parts of the body towards the heart."
Arteries:
carry blood away from heart, have walls are thick and muscular, have small lumen, have no valves, blood flows with jerks, flow of blood is fast, except pulmonary artery all carry oxygenated blood.Veins:
carry blood towards the heart, have thin and non muscular walls, have larger lumen, have valves to check back flow of blood, blood flows smoothly, flow of blood is not so fast, except pulmonary vein all carry deoxygenated blood
In a general sense, a vessel is defined as a hollow utensil for carrying something: a cup, a bucket, a tube. Blood vessels, then, are hollow utensils for carrying blood. Located throughout your body, your blood vessels are hollow tubes that circulate your blood.
There are three varieties of blood vessels: arteries, veins, and capillaries. During blood circulation, the arteries carry blood away from the heart. The capillaries connect the arteries to veins. Finally, the veins carry the blood back to the heart. If you took all of the blood vessels out of an average child, and laid them out in one line, the line would be over 60,000 miles long! An adult's vessels would be closer to 100,000 miles long! Besides circulating blood, the blood vessels provide two important means of measuring vital health statistics: pulse and blood pressure. We measure heart rate, or pulse, by touching an artery. The rhythmic contraction of the artery keeps pace with the beat of the heart. Since an artery is near the surface of the skin, while the heart is deeply protected, we can easily touch the artery and get an accurate measure of the heart's pulse. When we measure blood pressure, we use the blood flowing through the arteries because it has a higher pressure than the blood in the veins. Your blood pressure is measured using two numbers. The first number, which is higher, is taken when the heart beats during the systole phase. The second number is taken when the heart relaxes during the diastole phase. Those two numbers stand for millimeters. A column of mercury rises and falls with the beat of the heart. The height of the column is measured in millimeters. Normal blood pressure ranges from 110 to 150 millimeters (as the heart beats) over 60 to 80 millimeters (as the heart relaxes). It is normal for your blood pressure to increase when you are exercising and to decrease when you are sleeping. If your blood pressure stays too high or too low, however, you may be at risk of heart disease. Arteries are tough, elastic tubes that carry blood away from the heart. As the arteries move away from the heart, they divide into smaller vessels. The largest arteries are about as thick as a thumb. The smallest arteries are thinner than hair. These thinner arteries are called arterioles. Arteries carry bright red blood! The color comes from the oxygen that it carries.Veins carry the blood to the heart. The smallest veins, also called venules, are very thin. They join larger veins that open into the heart. The veins carry dark red blood that doesn't have much oxygen. Veins have thin walls. They don't need to be as strong as the arteries because as blood is returned to the heart, it is under less pressure.
arteries carry oxygenated blood FROM the heart. veins carry blood back to the heart
The artery carries oxygen rich blood from the heart to the cells to feed them. The veins take the waste from the cells to the kidneys and liver and then back to the heart.
arteries lead the blood out of the heart, they are more profound, harder to puncture, elastic walls that reacts to changes in presurre to keep a constant blood flow. they don't dilate easily, blood flow in the arteries below the heart is easier because is aided by gravitation.
veins can dilate very much, in the legs they can cause varicous legs. they can be punctured for therapeutic reasons, because they are superficial. they lead the blood back to the heart.
Arteries carry blood away from the heart and veins carry blood to the heart. generally arteries have thicker more muscular walls than veins.

I too would like to be a pharmacist. The reasons in which I would like to be a pharmacist include: helping others, being able to work in a hands on environment, working with chemicals that could possibly benefit others, and lastly the pay. However, there are different types of pharmacists. I would like to a pharmaceutical economist. This means that I will make the drug. I am also thinking about epidemiology because I can find a problem and find the cure. If I become a pharmaceuticoepidemiologist, then I can find the problem, cure, and make it. There are a numerous reasons why anyone can be a pharmacist. And there are many reasons why someone wouldn't. One of the reasons is the length of school. Approximately 6 years because you have to take pre-pharmacy for 3-4 years and then pharmacy. I decided if I'm going to go for 6, i might as well get my doctorate and stay in for 8 years. My opinion.
I suppose easy access to recreational pharmaceuticals is not a good answer. Better avoid that one.
This is what I would say:
1 Because a pharmacist has been one of the most TRUSTED professions in the last 100 years.
2 You have direct contact and easier access to the patients then most doctors or lawyers or other professionals.
3 The choices within the profession is not limited to counting pouring and licking and sticking as most burnouts would tell you.
You can work in Hospitals/Retail/Research/PB-M. Company/Universities/Pharmaceu. Company's just to name a few.
4 You actually can help people in all walks of life from birth to death %26 never worry about job security because in the health profession their is no such thing as a recession.
Pharmacists are in high demand in many places around the world as well. You will not have trouble finding a job. The things you have to know will be dynamic. Drugs come and go off and on the market.This is a challenge and keeps it interesting.
because hospital pharmacy allows you to use your knowledge..
because women can exit the profession if needed to have their children and not suffer monetary when you come back.
because its really a rewarding occupation -- regardless of what you may feel when you are really fed up with interdepartment politics.
because there are PLENTY of jobs when you finish.. you have your choice of several positions before you even graduate.
you can have a life and not be oncall 24 hrs
and lastly the pay is ok
there are many fields to go into besides being behind the counter

Petroleum jelly isn't something you can whip up like strawberry jelly. Go buy some at the store in the health and beauty aisle
Ingredients: One jar of Vaseline.
There. You're done. That was easy, wasn't it?

give isotopes that are used in medicine field and state the uses of each isotopes?
Answers:
Nuclear medicine uses radiation to provide diagnostic information about the functioning of a person's specific organs, or to treat them. Radiotherapy which employs use of isotopes can be used to treat some medical conditions, especially cancer, using radiation to weaken or destroy particular targeted cells. for eg iodine-131 to treat thryoid disease,Iridium 192 implants are used in the head,strontium-89 and (increasingly) samarium 153 are used for the relief of cancer-induced bone pain.
I131-throid studies
P32- treatment of cancer
CO60- radiation therapy
CO58- test for PA
Strontium- bone scans
Give at least one species of bacterium for every ultrastructure studied?
Answers:
Cellular Ultrastructure
[Back to Microscopy and Cells] Eukaryotic Cells Prokaryotic Cells Cell Fractionation All living things are made of cells, and cells are the smallest units that can be alive. Life on Earth is classified into five kingdoms, and they each have their own characteristic kind of cell. However the biggest division is between the cells of the prokaryote kingdom (the bacteria) and those of the other four kingdoms (animals, plants, fungi and protoctista), which are all eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells are smaller and simpler than eukaryotic cells, and do not have a nucleus. Prokaryote = "before carrier bag" i.e. without a nucleus
Eukaryote = "good carrier bag" i.e. with a nucleusMAJOR GROUPS OF PROKARYOTES
漏 2004 Kenneth Todar University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Bacteriology
Figure 0. The Phylogenetic Tree of Life based on Comparative ssrRNA Sequencing.The rooted Tree lands the prokaryotes in two Domains, Archaea and Bacteria. At a taxonomic level, organisms at the tips of the Archaeal branches represent Orders; the tips of the bacterial branches are Phyla. On the Archaeal limb, the three physiological groups are evident in the names: "thermo" and "pyro" for the extreme thermophiles; "methano" for the methanogens; and the extreme "halophiles". The most important, best known, and diverse groups branching off of the Bacterial limb are the Cyanobacteria, Proteobacteria and Gram positives.
The prokaryotes consist of millions of genetically-distinct unicellular organisms. What they lack in structural diversity, so well-known among eukaryotes (including the protista), they make up for in their physiological diversity. It is often a particular physiological trait that unifies and distinguishes a particular group of prokaryotes to microbiologists. In Bergey's Manual of Determinative Bacteriology (1994), the identifiable groups of prokaryotes are assembled based on easily-observed phenotypic characteristics such as Gram stain, morphology (rods, cocci, etc), motility, structural features (e.g. spores, filaments, sheaths, appendages, etc.), and on distinguishing physiological features (e.g. anoxygenic photosynthesis, anaerobiasis, methanogenesis, lithotrophy, etc.). Nowadays,this type of informal classification is being abandoned in favor of hierarchal taxonomic schemes based on comparative genetic analysis of the nucleotide sequences of the small subunit ribosomal RNA that is contained in all cellular organisms. In the Second edition of Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology (2001), as well as the Third edition of The Prokaryotes, phylogeny dominates the classification schemes. Such an approach generates the Phylogentic Tree of Life (above) that lands the prokaryotes in two Domains, Archaea and Bacteria. At a taxonomic level, organisms at the tips of the archael branches represent Orders; The tips of the bacterial branches are Phyla. More information on the taxonomy, phylogeny and classification of prokaryotes is given in the references at the bottom of this page. Also, an excellent article online that integrates phylogeny with classification of prokaryotes is Classification and Phylogeny by Gary Olsen. In the ensuing description of prokaryotes, groups of organisms are placed under trivial headings based on common structural, biochemical or ecological properties. This does not imply close genetic relatedness among different genera in a group. Sometimes, all of the members of a group share a close genetic relatedness; in other cases, members of a group are genetically-unrelated, even to an extent that is greater than exists among all members of the Eukaryotic domain. Also herein, some prokaryotes are in more than one group, and some groups consist of both Archaea and Bacteria.
You didn't say please.
someone didnt do their homework.
As I understand. an "ultrastructure" is a cell organelle.And, bacteria being prokaryotic cells, do not have any cell organelles. The only ultrastructure you can study on them is perhaps, flagella (e.g. E. coli), 70S ribosomes or cytoskeleton (which too, is not like the eukaryotic cytoskeleton. but similar!).
give a brief description on alpha and beta globulins including subdivisions?
pls include gamma as well if possible
Answers:
Alpha Globulins are a group of globular proteins in plasma, which are highly mobile in alkaline or electricaly charged solutions. They inhibit certain blood protease and inhibitor activity.
Beta globulins are a group of globular proteins in plasma that are more mobile in alkaline or electricaly charged solutions than gamma globulins, but less mobile than alpha globulins.
Examples of beta globulins include:
beta 2-microglobulin
plasminogen
angiostatins
properdin
sex hormone-binding globulin
transferrin
Please see the webpages for more details on Globulin and Gamma globulins.

Getting into Ivy League?
i really want to get into cornell because my cousin went there and my dad has this thing about wanting me to go to a "known school" like her. And it seems like a good school. i want to major in biology and go into pre med??
any suggestions on what my grades have to be and what i need to get in?
Answers:
Cornell is obviously a very good school. Go to Princeton Review.com or buy any descent college guides, and you will see what kind of average SATs and GPAs the entering Freshman class gets. However, keep in mind that where you go to undergrad really does not matter all that much. What is far more important is your curriculum and your academic performance once you are in college. With excellent grades in college, membership to academic honors societies, and outstanding grad test scores you'll get in any outstanding med school you want. It's at this stage you should worry about going to a brand-name school. Because that will make a huge difference in your professional opportunities. But, that is really not the case for undergrad. You could go to your top local State university, save a lot of money, study not quite as hard as your counterpart at Cornell, and get a higher GPA. In the end, doing so if you are self motivated may get you ahead of the Cornell crowd.
You might want to take a few minutes and look through their website. Chances are, you have to be well rounded academically and with your extra-curricular activities. You will have to have excellent grades (I would think 3.75 or higher), excellent SAT scores, have excellent references, and be able to show your true colors in your admission letter/interview. The site should give you a better idea of what they want and expect from applicants. Good Luck!
cornell sucks
go to brown
its liberal, beautiful and open minded
You have to get really good grades definately in the top 5 or 10% of your class. Probably score over 600 on math and reading on the SAT. you also have to have a good extracurricular base and good teacher recommecdations and a good esaay. you also have to be a "well rounded student". my cousin just got in as a transfer student. if you dont get in for your freshman year try apply for a transfer. you never know. just work hard.

Getting High off Robitussin (DMX) ??
I've heard about Robitussin and the high you can get from it. I want to know everything from how much you take to how long it last, and for those who have taken this drug please tell me your trip experience.There are 2 kinds of Robitussin, Liquid formula or Pills. True?
i am going to take the pills with my friends.but how much do we take??
Answers:
I wouldnt give you advice for how to get high. What I can tell you is that if you do get high from mass quantities you can get brain damage. the high doesnt last long and you can get seriously ill. If you do it you can end up in the hospital or the morgue.
yes there is liquid and pills but either way you go its stupid
Don't do it! It will be like drinking mouth wash, but if you do don't forget to tell us your experience
it's crazy. you know you can actually overdose on cough syrup. that's just stupid. and not only stupid it's such a high quantity that you have to take that they won't let you buy that much. you get arrested when you get to the parking lot.
All that would happen is an exaggerated "drowsiness" because of the chemicals in the cough medication. It would probably end up being equivalent to one shot of alcohol and if you drank much more to get a stronger effect you'd end up just getting sick. It really isn't worth it.
Very-Very Bad for your liver..Beware it is not worth what little high you may get off it.
A friend of mine did this and got excellerated heartrate, shaking, dizziness, sweating, vomiting, fainting and heart palpitations. It was an ACCIDENTAL overdose-imagine doing it on purpose?! Please dont-getting the horrible "buzz" from this isnt worth risking your life!
worst experience ever. makes you slow reaction and stupid not a worthy high

Getting AIDS from protected sex?
Does anyone know what the actual possibility or probability of having AIDS transmitted to you by having protected sex is? On the worse case scenario, is there a real possibility of this happening?
Answers:
No method of contraception is 100% effective against pregnancy or the spread of disease. I do not know what the percentages are, but you are definitely safer if you are practicing safe sex then if not. In the case of disease when I refer to contraceptives I mean condoms.
Condoms have been known to break.
Its more difficult for a man to get it than a woman.(when its hetero sex).
It is one of the harder diseases to catch and once exposed to the air the disease dies. Unfortunately though with sex there's isn't much air where it would count!
There are many couples with one partner living with AIDS, I know a couple and they have healthy sex lives.
I would think that you would be very protected using contraception but if you are considering doing so I would contact your GP for professional advice.
nothing has been 100% effective in preventing AIDS.
Absolutely don't kid yourself. In high risk populations such as drug users, especially IV drug users, and those who have multiple partners and don't use protection or use it randomly the odds are much higher. Many times you really don't know who falls in what category, thus, treat every encounter as a possible transmittal. Always error on the side of safety. A few nuns I read about in the journals got it from early blood transfusions. Don't take chances.
The only way to get AIDs through protected sex is if the condom breaks or your partner has already ejaculated before you use protection. Another way is through saliva, allow you may be protected in one way, AIDS can be spread in many other ways, such as oral sex.
possably. y? it depends what u use
A condom will protect you if it is put on properly and it doesn't leak. Some brands have been shown to fail up to 30% of the time. Not very good odds when your life is at stake.

Getting a license with medical condition.You would'nt believe it?
I've never had a license since I have seizures. Now believe me it stinks especially when you run out of cigarettes at 2 am but I'd rather get a ride than possibly wipe out an entire family %26 possibly myself. I was at the doctors the other day %26 I was talking to another patient who mentioned that he drove. I asked him how he got his license %26 he said it's very easy all you have to do is tell the doctor you've been seizure free for a year. So I asked the doctor if it was true %26 he said yes. My question is how can it be so easy to get away with that? Aren't doctors %26 insurance companies smarter than that?
Answers:
This is a case where people just have to accept responsibility for their actions; doctors and government can't always be there to check up on everyone. It's not really all that different from giving a license to anyone, seizures or not. A license is a measure of trust from the government; they are trusting that you will behave responsibly. Since the government is really a representation of the people's will, you could also say its a measure of trust from society.If someone lies about not having a seizure in order to get a license, and then ends up hurting/killing someone, how do you think they'd feel? Pretty awful, most likely. So I'd hope that no one would lie to their doctor about that, though I'm sure it happens. Anyway, I hope you find relief from your condition so that you can safely drive again!
You'd think that they'd want to check your medical records for occurrences of seizures (assuming that they are serious enough that they require medical attention). You didn't mention anything about medications, are you taking any? As for you question about the doctors and insurance companies. I'd hope that they would be cautious in order to save the lives of people who may be affected by a seizure while driving.
yes youare right.

genetically what is the disadvantages of persons of blood group B+ join group O on the offsprings?
is there any other demerits linked to the above combination of persons or advantages for that matter should they chose to give offsprings.
Answers:
no, the only time that blood type will be a concern is when the mother is Rh negative, and the father, Rh positive. The baby will be Rh positive like the father, because positive is dominant.
The problem with this is that if the baby's Rh positive blood mixes with the mother's Rh negative blood, the mother's blood will attack the baby's blood.
This looks bad, but doctors give Rh negative mothers shots before labor (and in any other situation where the blood might mix) to keep the mother and baby's blood from mixing.
that is the only genetic disadvantage that blood type can present.
are congratulations in order?
if so, CONGRATULATIONS!
do your own punnett square!
No, there's no disadvantage. Just means the kids will either be B or O (assuming the B parent has a recessive O gene, otherwise they'll all be B's!!)
No real advantages or disadvantages.THe onlything to watch out for is the rh factor (+ or -). If Mom is rh negative and baby is rh positive, then mom can produce antibodies that can harm subsequent babies. Obstetricians usually treat rh - Moms to prevent this.
are you O+ or O-? if ur O- and ur baby is B+ ur in trouble on ur next pregnancy.. Next child mught get HDN.. although we have rhogam to prevent this.. ask doctor for more info
Would you really ask someone what blood group they are on a first date?? That would be a conversation stopper.
And in answer to your question I have no idea.
None, My marriage was interesting as I am group A and my former wife group B, This combination can produce any blood group. However one daughter is AB the other B
In addition to problems related with rh factor which others have answered there's this one also.if mother isO and her child isB(or A),then the baby might develop mild anaemia upon birth which will cure by itself in about 10 days.Nothing serious to worry about much.

this statment is false,explain why!
normal woman whose father was hemophilic and her mother was colorblind,got married to a color blind man they hav a color blind son and a normal daugther.
i know the statement is false,I need an explanation .
Answers:
I don't see how it is false either. I mapped it out, and here's what I got. The eldest lady (grandma) could be XcXc (homozygous for colorblind). Grandpa must be XhY (hemizygous for hemophilia). This makes normal woman XcXh (the Xc would be normal for hemophilia and the Xh normal for color, masking the expression, resulting in normal). Husband must be XcY(hemizygous for colorblind). Son could inherit Xc from mom, thus being Xc (colorblind). Daughter could inherit Xh from mom and must inherit Xc from dad, thus being XcXh (the Xc would be normal for hemophilia and the Xh normal for color, masking the expression, resulting in normal). Please let me know if there is an error.Son cannot be normal; he'd be either Xc or Xh which is either colorblind or hemophilia.
The son would not be colorblind. They'd have both normal children.
it looks like the "normal" woman is a carrier for both hemophilia and color-blindness since her dad was hemophiliac and mother was color-blind. if she and a color-blind man have a son and a daughter, they can be either normal of both traits or have both traits, not just one (since they are both recessive genes).i hope this is correct

Genes control our lives.?
What is your interpretation of the above statement?
What is the argument in support of and in opposition to the statement?
How can we identify the role that genes play in our lives?Thank you so much, hopefully my last question of the month xXxXx
Answers:
Genes are the cards we are dealt.It's up to us how we play them..I think your question really hinges on the extent to which our minds are genetically programmed, although our physiology also influences our behaviour as we cannot ignore our bodies, and our bodies are patterned by our genes.To use an analogy, genes provide the framework for how our brain is going to be structured - kind of like the skeleton of our mind, if you like. But it's a somewhat flexible skeleton, and it can be dressed up in all kinds of different ways by the layers of nurture that overlay the underlying nature.An important difference between us and other animals is that we are born with our brains only partly developed. In a sense, we are born in a much lower state of maturity than most other animals. Consider how a foal is able to stand and walk unaided in only a brief interval after its birth. A human child is helpless by comparison and unable to move for at least 6 months after its birth.This lack of birth maturity means our brains are much more plastic than other animals. They pop out of the womb with a fully-formed set of instincts. We have to learn from our environment. BUT this is where we have an advantage! We are more able to adapt to our environment because of this plasticity.The plasticity of our minds doesn't last forever, and has to be taken advantage of in our early years. Feral children raised in the wild by animals have a great deal of trouble adapting back into human society. They have particular problems with language and social skills. Those bits of their brain are under-utilised when they are young and they never recover and reach their full potential. So it's not just a simple 50% nurture 50% nature model (for instance). The bit that's nurtured becomes more inflexible and unchangeable as we get older.I've strayed a little away from the issue of genes here, because I think that the role of genes is often misunderstood. People tend to think 'nature = genes, nurture = what you learn', but the picture isn't really that simple.
try reading the selfish gene by Richard Dawkins very interesting
Genes make us who we are, they are the building blocks of our lives, it is up to us how we use them.
They make us a part of our parents and give us that unique relationship with our parents we don't share with anyone else, because they are a part of us, and contribute immensely to our lives.
genes control what you look like
such as your hair, skin, and eye color
but they do not control our lives, they do not choose what we want we choose. and anyway there is no way of controling anyones lives no matter how hard we try.
There is currently a lot of dispute (especially in the medical field) over how much influence our genes have (nature vs nurture) Its true that while genes make us what we are, they certainly have no effect on how we act. HOWEVER, there has been recent research that genes may have an impact on our behaviour and our general disposition. Look at dog breeds!

not really an answer but are you reading this question out of a text book - doesn't matter - How can genes control your life? Genes are just the information that tells your body how to grow whether you have blue eyes or ginger hair. it is your environment which dictates how you live your life and as for control that has more to do with situation you live in. Perhaps "control" is the wrong word?
lurkinggherkin has a great answer. And physiologically that is how we would individually go through our lives. And that truely I too have stressed the importance of physiology in connection to the gene.But , if you look further ,, we also inherit homicidal tendancies and we are not exempt from the rabbit warren effect ,, population dynamics really.By looking at the genetic garbages and the Hox clusters ,, I am apt to think that genes do control us ,, ultimately. It is also the "wildness" of our genes that makes space colonies quite a dangerous propersition at our current knowledge. If I may say , that at the individual level ,, one may be able to override certain inheritances ,, and that not all genes are Mandelian. But , as the individual numbers increase , as in a population ,, it becomes more difficult to will ourselves over and above our inheritance.
Genes are not only responsilbe for our body development..they along with the environmental factors mold our behaviour.and our behavior controls our lives.
What is the argument in support of and in opposition to the statement?
How can we identify the role that genes play in our lives?Thank you so much, hopefully my last question of the month xXxXx
Answers:
Genes are the cards we are dealt.It's up to us how we play them..I think your question really hinges on the extent to which our minds are genetically programmed, although our physiology also influences our behaviour as we cannot ignore our bodies, and our bodies are patterned by our genes.To use an analogy, genes provide the framework for how our brain is going to be structured - kind of like the skeleton of our mind, if you like. But it's a somewhat flexible skeleton, and it can be dressed up in all kinds of different ways by the layers of nurture that overlay the underlying nature.An important difference between us and other animals is that we are born with our brains only partly developed. In a sense, we are born in a much lower state of maturity than most other animals. Consider how a foal is able to stand and walk unaided in only a brief interval after its birth. A human child is helpless by comparison and unable to move for at least 6 months after its birth.This lack of birth maturity means our brains are much more plastic than other animals. They pop out of the womb with a fully-formed set of instincts. We have to learn from our environment. BUT this is where we have an advantage! We are more able to adapt to our environment because of this plasticity.The plasticity of our minds doesn't last forever, and has to be taken advantage of in our early years. Feral children raised in the wild by animals have a great deal of trouble adapting back into human society. They have particular problems with language and social skills. Those bits of their brain are under-utilised when they are young and they never recover and reach their full potential. So it's not just a simple 50% nurture 50% nature model (for instance). The bit that's nurtured becomes more inflexible and unchangeable as we get older.I've strayed a little away from the issue of genes here, because I think that the role of genes is often misunderstood. People tend to think 'nature = genes, nurture = what you learn', but the picture isn't really that simple.
try reading the selfish gene by Richard Dawkins very interesting
Genes make us who we are, they are the building blocks of our lives, it is up to us how we use them.
They make us a part of our parents and give us that unique relationship with our parents we don't share with anyone else, because they are a part of us, and contribute immensely to our lives.
genes control what you look like
such as your hair, skin, and eye color
but they do not control our lives, they do not choose what we want we choose. and anyway there is no way of controling anyones lives no matter how hard we try.

Genes and DNA , how do they differ ?
. and where are they located within the human body ?
Answers:
Your DNA is made up of genes. They can be found in every cell in the body.
Genes are more abstract than DNA. DNA is a molecule. Genes are "made" or "implemented" with DNA. However, genes can also be constructed out of RNA, another molecule.So a strand of DNA molecule may encode a number of genes, each of which may be constructed of small or large portions of the DNA molecule.DNA is located in the nuclei of all cells (except red blood cells) in the human body. It is also located in the mitochondria in those cells (so-called mitochondrial DNA, which is only inherited from the mother). RNA is located at various important locations in each cell as it serves important functions in synthesizing proteins from genes.
DNA is found in the nucleus of every single living cell of your body. Genes are what make up the DNA and define all of your characteristics such as hair, skin, height, eyes, etc. If there is even one mistake in the genes (also known as a mutation), then one can end up having some sort of genetic disease, be retarded, disabled, etc. Its really bad if that happens, but sometimes good can come out of it, such as some people have a genetic mutation that gives them a natural vaccine/ protects them from HIV/AIDS.
A gene might be viewed as a segmant of DNA or RNA which codes for a specific function. This might be the production of a single protein, a series of proteins which might combine to build a certain characteristic in the organism, or a regulatory function to control the production of other sites also influencing the total organism. Both genes and DNA are located principally in the nucleus and mitochondria of complex organisms, or distributed throughout the cell in simpler organisms such as bacteria and viruses.
your genes are located on your chromosomes which are made up of your dna. your dna and genes are found in every cell in your body

Generic vs. name brand medicine?
is there anything different with them? or is it just the name?
Answers:
Generic and brand name medicines contain the same main drug. There are, however, often several ingredients, which are not the main drug, that are varied when you go from generic to name brand, or vice versa. These variations can cause general unpleasantness and you should check with a doctor before switching.
Very same. the only difference is that brand name is a LOT higher in cost
there is absolutely no difference'
There may be some minor differences. Drugs always contain other chemicals, and it is mainly these chemicals that varies the price.
There may be minor differences, but the active ingredients are the same.
While it is true generic and brand medications have the same active ingredient and other fillers maybe different that is not all you need to be aware of. Certain brand medications are formulated to deliver the active ingredient in a certain way and over a certain time period this is not necessarily the same with the generic. This difference in delivery system can alter the blood levels of the active medication. This can be critical with certain medications. One such medication being one for seizures known as phenytoin. Do you really want different blood levels with your seizure medications? I don't think so. Most medications are fine to take the generic but those with special delivery systems and small therapeutic windows I would be very cautious in using generics. I would recommend talking with your doctor or pharmacist about using a generic.
I think you are asking about differences between generic name and brand name ..Well generic name is the simplified name of a drug for easy identification purposes.Any drug will have only one generic name.But brand name is the name given to a drug by the manufacturer.A drug may have many brand names depending on the number of manufactures..More over a particular brand name may have more than one active drug ingredient.
The main difference is that brand name drugs cost more and make mucho moola for the drug companies.

Generally when you take medicine..1 time or 2 or 3 or 4 times a day, When is the right times.?
Answers:
these are general guidelines and you should always seek answers from your doctor or pharmacist. these answers could completely change depending on the medication prescribed and the patient's disease state.one time daily would usually either be in the morning (with most meds) or at bedtime.
two times daily would usually be in the morning and in the evening (around 12 hours after the morning dose).
three times a day would usually be either early morning, lunch time, dinner time (~6am, ~noon, ~6pm) or morning, late afternoon, bedtime (~8am, ~2pm, ~10pm), usually depending on if you can take it with food or not.
four times a day is tricky because the most common question is should i get up in the middle of the night to take it every 6 hours? usually the anwser is no (there are a few meds where this is required/recommended) but if you bottle says "four times a day" then something like (~7am, ~noon, ~5pm, ~10pm). if it actually says "every 6 hours" then do your best to make it that and possibly ask your doctor or pharmacist how much leeway you have.
that depends on:
what your doctor said
what the medication is for
will it irritate your stomach
and
what your doctor said.
Generally if you have to take medicine 4x a day it's every 6 hours. So it depends on when you take the first dose. The formula is usually to divide 24 (the number of hours in the day) by the number of times you're supposed to take the medicine. So if you take it 3x a day, that's every 8 hours; 2x a day is every 12 hours; 1x a day then you would note the time you took the first dose and take it at the same time the next day.
Ask your pharmacist. Alot depends on the medication some has to be taken with food others on an empty stomach. Some people have their own preferences based on their lives. I suggest you do something easy and convenient so you wont forget. Always follow the label instructions.
ALWAYS FOLLOW DR. INSTRUCTIONS!!
once a day may be at breakfast or bedtime
2x/day may be morning and night
3x/day divide 3 into 24 hours.
4x/day would be every 6 hours
When giving medicine, a day means 24 hours. So, if you are supposed to take medicine once a day, it means every 24 hours, twice a day means every 12 hours, thrice a day means every 8 hours etc.
The important thing is to plan your time so that you swallow your medicine at convenient times eg. during breaks or after meals.
Many drugs are best swallowed after meals as they may irritate the tummy if it's empty.
every specific drug has his specific indications and it must be taken exactly how your doc prescribed it
how many times a day do you have to take a drug depends of the drugs action,like for what and how long is there in your blood level ,and that depends on the body metabolizing the drug,and so on .. along story
and of course depends on the SIDE EFFECTS of that drug and this is an other serious considerent
so ,this is why you have a doc to help you with all this staff
and yes a MEDICINE day is 24 hours and you have to take your medicine recording to your doc prescription and build your hours as is the best for you with your doc help
what is your illness what is your Drug what is your kidney and liver function and. .
This guy was only asking generally!!. Dont put in too much reasons or sicknesses. If the doctor give you a medicine and ask you to take it 4 times a day, he never tell you the precise times. he believe you know. To me 4 times a day mean first thing when I wake up, lunch, dinner and last before i go to bed. Is this correct?
Read the prescription.

gadget to help people with socks?
My father is unable to bend to put his socks on due to his age and I was wondering if anybody knows where I can get something where he can put on his socks on by himself. Please help.
Answers:
I would try getting a pair of these:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/b0002za.
I don't know where to find them but I do know that they make things like this for the elderly and infirm. They are like long sets of scissor-tongs, and he can grasp each sock with two pairs of tongs and then draw them on as though his arms were longer. Try asking someone in a pharmacy, or at a place where they make prosthetics and orthotics. They should at least be able to point you in the right direction. Good luck!
There is a mail order catalog company called Dr. Leonard's Catalog. The website is DrLeonards.com. I would recommend checking with them. They have some very unique assistive devices. Good Luck!

Future career in Medicine?
What is a good career path in medicine? I'm going to start my first year in Canada, and I still have no idea what to do. I was wondering what the best career would be?I was considering maybe a plastic surgeon or maybe Ob/Gyn, because these are both high paying. Any other possibilities to suggest? Also, what courses should I take in university to ensure I do well?I don't mind long working hours, looking for a stable, possibly high salary.
Answers:
Any job in the medical profession is probably going to be long working hours with a stable and probably high salary. It just depends on HOW HIGH you want it to go. Very popular plastic surgeons making millions a year. Some of the best operating room surgeons make this too. I wouldn't be a OB/Gyn unless you really like to deliver babies at all hours of the night and all the time. Its really disgusting and you're gonna get called at 2 am all the time to go and deliver.
I don't know that you should set your mind to any one particular path. One of my good friend just went threw the medical program in Nevada and when he started he had his heart set on Plastic Surgery, but over the three years of school he changed his mind several times after doing rotations in different departments. He finally settled on Emergency Medicine because of the excitement of it and the action. The other departments were too Predictable. If you are just starting your 4 year college just stick with pre med courses and if you get the chance take the EMT course (Emergency Medical Technician) reason being is you get to get your hands started in the medical field and also it is a good certification to have because you can sign up for shifts at the local hospital and make some money while you go through school.
Just my 2 cents:
If you only care about the money then you really shouldn't be in medicine or any other job that is suppost to help the community.
What year are you? As you take your courses in Med School you will eventually figure out what interests you. But if your only going into the medical field because you think it will automatically get a high paying job your off your rocker. First off, these days med school is more competitive than ever. Second off picking a field solely based on its pay, is idiotic because its gonna be something you hate. Now if you really want to do medicine solely for the money, I would suggest you go into plastic surgery. At least there you're mostly working with slutty soccer moms. Don't be a Ob/Gyn when a parents child is in the life is in the hands of a man/women who only goal in his career is to get higher and higher wages.
They may be high-paying, but the malpractice is high as well. Pain management can pay well, if you have no consience. And since you are looking for the payday, you might be okay with it.Take lots of chemistry/biology classes.You may want to look into ancillary health care professions (pharmacist, physical therapist, etc.). 50-100K US without the hassles of insurance/residency.
TAKE IT FROM SOMEONE WHO KNOW:Let your heart take you to your specialty %26 don't take it as purely for mony. If you do so, you'll be happy %26successfull
You might also want to look into Physician Assistant programs. Those jobs pay quite well, the programs are shorter 5-6 years, cost a whole lot less, and best of all, you don't have to worry about med school/MCAT/high malpractice insurance rates. Whatever you choose, good luck! :)

well.let me tell u that "cardiac=the heart"
there is a marginal artery amongst the cardiac coronary arteries (the arteries that feed the heart) %26 the circumflex artery, there is one, which is a branch of the left main coronary atery..
the small cardiac vein %26 the great cardiac vein some of the veins that drain the heart..
the inferior vena cava, collects (deoxygenated %26 carrying wast) from the lower parts of the body %26 drain it into the the right atrium in the heart.. the superior vena cava does the same but collecting from the head %26 neck.
From which of her lovers do you think Ana茂s Nin caught cervical cancer?
I love her writing, but no question that she was a damaged person. I wonder why she was so driven to take so many lovers, and how much more she could have written if she hadn't contracted cancer. Who knows, maybe if they'd all used condoms, she'd have written richer stories? Don't know whether to put this Q. in Arts or Medicine tho'. Assuming that doctors will be equally cultured %26 less offended by the speculation, I guess.
Answers:
Well, 95% of cervical cancer is sexually transmitted via HPV. That much is established. If the male who gave this to her (as vs her female consorts) then likely he also gave it to others. Females are not likely to transmit it to females as the cervices never come into continuted contact (unless there is some bizarre position I can't imagine).In the days before HPV had even been identified, it was well noted and documented that if a man's wife died of cervical cancer and he remarried, the next wife would also get it. One would have to do rather extensive research into the subsequent health problems of the females involved in the lives of the males she was exposed to to glean this obscure bit of information.
You can't catch cancer.
Cancer is not a contagious disease.
You can't always "catch" cerivical cancer! (unless she had HPV human papaloma virus). There can be a history of cancer in the family and she could have gotten it that way.
Ummm, you can't catch cancer. There is a theory that HPV which can be sexually transmitted *may* cause certain types of cervical cancer, but it hasn't been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. Hell, they're not even sure which HPV strains cause genital warts.Last stats I read said roughly 80% of sexually active adults have some HPV strain, so it's a crap shoot.
Cancer is a genetic defect, which cannot be contracted with any exchanges of fluid with another person. Cancer is not an STD. Her development of cancer is more likely to have to do with the way she lived, her exposure to cancer causing agents like asbestos, or whether cancer was passed in her genes.
The sole responder Tonalc has discounted the possibility of Anais Nin catching cervical cancer by her promiscuousness stating that cancer is not contagious. However,read the following:
Genital HPV infection is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) that is caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). Human papillomavirus is the name of a group of viruses that includes more than 100 different strains or types. More than 30 of these viruses are sexually transmitted, and they can infect the genital area of men and women including the skin of the penis, vulva (area outside the vagina), or anus, and the linings of the vagina, cervix, or rectum. Most people who become infected with HPV will not have any symptoms and will clear the infection on their own.Some of these viruses(HPV human papplovirus) are called "high-risk" types may lead to cancer of the cervix, vulva, vagina, anus, or penis. Others are called "low-risk" types, and they may cause mild Pap test abnormalities or genital warts. Genital warts are single or multiple growths or bumps that appear in the genital area, and sometimes are cauliflower shaped.It is therefore not unlikely that the cervical cancer which cut short the career of the authoress may be the outcome of her loose morals.As to from which specific lover she got this disease is difficult to say since she had many friends and she was equally liberal with almost everybody. It would always remain under wraps up.
too bad she wasnt alive and young enough to get the HPV vaccine
It could have been no one. If it has been determined that she definitely had the gene, then perhaps one of the women relatives, mother, grandmother, aunt, etc. I had cancer and no one in my family ever had it, and no one has since. It has to do with the cells and how they go wild, it just happens. It is important to find it early, like mine, 18 yrs ago, and cancer free now. So many different types of cancer as well, some are very aggressive and others are not. You cannot catch cancer from anyone.
Answers:
Well, 95% of cervical cancer is sexually transmitted via HPV. That much is established. If the male who gave this to her (as vs her female consorts) then likely he also gave it to others. Females are not likely to transmit it to females as the cervices never come into continuted contact (unless there is some bizarre position I can't imagine).In the days before HPV had even been identified, it was well noted and documented that if a man's wife died of cervical cancer and he remarried, the next wife would also get it. One would have to do rather extensive research into the subsequent health problems of the females involved in the lives of the males she was exposed to to glean this obscure bit of information.
You can't catch cancer.
Cancer is not a contagious disease.
You can't always "catch" cerivical cancer! (unless she had HPV human papaloma virus). There can be a history of cancer in the family and she could have gotten it that way.
Ummm, you can't catch cancer. There is a theory that HPV which can be sexually transmitted *may* cause certain types of cervical cancer, but it hasn't been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. Hell, they're not even sure which HPV strains cause genital warts.Last stats I read said roughly 80% of sexually active adults have some HPV strain, so it's a crap shoot.

From where is d blood taken for diagnostics in humans?
Answers:
In adults, phlebotomists usually draw blood from the antecubital vein. That vessel is located on the inside of the elbow. Some tests can be done with no more than a drop of blood, in which case a lancet can be used to make a small puncture of the finger tip or heal.
At walmart
i do not belive d is not a human blood type. i could be wrong however.
Usually a blood sample is taken from the vein in the arm on the inside of the elbow. I think it might be the cephalic vein.
There are two main sources of blood for lab testing--veins and arteries. Veins are the most common source of blood. Arteries are usually only targeted to get an ABG (Arterial Blood Gas) reading.Also, finger sticks are often used to collect very small samples of blood to check a person's blood glucose levels.Hope this helps!
Blood is normally taken from the veins for most kind of diagnosis. But, blood is also taken from the arteries on rare occasions when one probably needs to test the oxygen levels in blood, before it reaches the tissues. Also fingure pricks for tests like blood group test, blood count, hb%, and now-a-days even glucose.
For the routine blood investigations like complete blood count(which shows ur hemoglobin level, total white blood cell count, platelets n etc), liver function test, renal function test, blood grouping and cross matching they use the venous blood. But for tests like arterial blood gases they use the arterial blood.
it is taken from vein or finger tips
from where does intestinal bacteria arise after birth?
giv correct ans
Answers:
A human first becomes colonized by a normal flora at the moment of birth and passage through the birth canal. In utero, the fetus is sterile, but when the mother's water breaks and the birth process begins, so does colonization of the body surfaces. Handling and feeding of the infant after birth leads to establishment of a stable normal flora on the skin, oral cavity and intestinal tract in about 48 hours.
At birth the entire intestinal tract is sterile, but bacteria enter with the first feed. The initial colonizing bacteria vary with the food source of the infant. In breast-fed infants, bifidobacteria account for more than 90% of the total intestinal bacteria. The substance lactoferrin in breastmilk also helps the digestive system to be colonized with non-pathogenic bacteria called the normal bacterial flora.
water
mothers milk, ofcourse if mom has been infected
environmental contamination
From food and anything else the kid puts in his mouth.. Fingers, the stuff he touched with his fingers, etc.
As the baby is born the bacterial colonisation starts, and the start reproducing in the baby's gut. Most of the bacteria in the gut are safe and are needed by our body. If we destroy them by using excess of antibiotics it may lead to trouble !! so dont keep your gut sterile !

From where did Doctor Pepper receive his degree and should he be trusted?
Answers:
Pepperdine?
PUERTO RICO
haha
Baylor since it was created in Waco.
He should be trusted for liquid goodness.
He's a fraud, he doesn't have a doctorate. The soft drink was named after his last name "Pepper" he himself was just the father of a girl the creator "Charles Alderton" had the hots for. Steer clear of any medical advice Dr Pepper gives ya.
No degree, but good soda! Do not consider it medication, but trust it as a soft drink, it is great!
He's aso misunderstood.
Charles T. Pepper, M.D. (1830 鈥?1903) was the original inspiration for the Dr Pepper brand, according to the Dr Pepper/Seven Up Company. Born in Montgomery County, Virginia, he earned his medical degree from the University of Virginia and after a stint as a surgeon for the Confederacy in the Civil War. he settled with his family in Rural Retreat, Virginia where he practiced medicine and openned "Dr. Peppers Drug Store". According to legend, it was there where he employed Wade Morrison, co-founder of the company that bears Dr. Pepper's name.
smartass
No, he's been struck off the medical register and joined the French Legion. I think he's now called Sergeant Pepper.
From what location in the body may the etiological agents of salmonella infection in man be recovered?
Answers:
An etiological agent is simply the infection organism.so if salmonella, then salmonella is the etiological agent of salmonella poisoning or infection. Salmonella can be found virtually anywhere within the digestive tract, in the case of bowel rupture, then it could be within the peritoneum. Fomites for salmonella can be wide and varied, from improperly washed vegetables, to improperly cooked foods or contaminated food. Personal hygiene for food handlers in restaurants and mess halls is an important measure to reduce the chance of transmitting the infection. Both Shigella and Salmonella are most commonly found in foods and less often in the intestinal tract, where it would then become pathogenic and cause enteritis and toxicosis.
A stool sample is taken to obtain the salmonella organisms.
In the gastrointestinal tract.
Freezing dead people- legal or not? (cryonics)?
Is cryonics legal? I have to write a report on the social, legal, emotional, moral and spiritual pros and cons of cryonics of humans. I am having a hard time finding out if cryonics is legal. If anyone could give me information I would be very happy!%26gt;
Answers:
If the deceased signed an agreement before they died stating they wanted to be frozen, the person was of sound mind when he/she signed it, and thier was a witness who also signed it then yes it's legal/
it is legal but u need to do a lot of paper work
Common sense say it must be legal, otherwise some government agency would have closed these businesses down long ago. Their continued existence suggest that they are legal, but maybe not throughout the entire US region.
ew
i think so.you have a boy friend?i am free
Yes, it can be done. Yes, it is probably legal but not in your home freezer.
It is legal and expensive.
legal. stupid but legal.
Yes it is legal, and is currently being practiced.
You can find out more by typing cryonics as your search query on Google.
Legal Barryery expensive. Hope Antarcticahe paper done and receive a good grade. Idea burry them in the ice in antartica
Duh it's legal! Didn't you hear the controversy over whether or not they would put Ted Williams, the famous baseball player, on ice?
it should be ok for educational use isn't it?
