People who suffer from back pain may have vertebrae shaped more like chimpanzees than healthy humans, according to a new study. The study found that humans with a common slipped disc condition had vertebrae shapes similar to chimpanzees. This suggests that people with chimpanzee-like vertebrae are more at risk of slipped discs. The rapid evolution of human bipedalism may have left some people vulnerable to back problems as a result of "learning to run before we could walk."

Fat leaves our body through lungs
The document summarizes a study that found lungs are the primary organ for weight loss. When fat is oxidized, 8.4 kg leaves the body as carbon dioxide through the lungs, while 1.6 kg becomes water. To fully oxidize 10 kg of fat, 29 kg of oxygen must be inhaled, producing 28 kg of carbon dioxide and 11 kg of water. The researchers were surprised by these results, which show lungs are the primary means of excreting weight loss from the body through carbon dioxide.
Cancer Cure
1) Personalized medicine is driven by new technologies, rising healthcare costs, and a shift toward greater patient involvement in medical decisions.
2) Key factors driving personalized medicine include new technologies, patients paying more for healthcare and wanting more input, less continuity with physicians, and rising costs requiring more targeted treatment.
3) Determining the promise versus hype of personalized medicine requires identifying valid biomarkers, validating them in large datasets, and applying them in clinical practice.
Researchers identify eight fatality signs of cancer
Scientists have identified eight physical signs that are highly associated with impending death within three days in cancer patients. These signs include nonreactive pupils, decreased response to verbal and visual stimuli, inability to close eyelids, drooping of facial features, neck hyperextension, grunting vocal cords, and gastrointestinal bleeding. Knowing these signs of imminent death could help clinicians and families make more informed decisions. Researchers observed over 350 cancer patients and identified these eight signs as most predictive of death within three days.
Are you an insomniac
Scientists have developed a "digital phenotype" or baseline profile of what insomnia sufferers express on Twitter, finding preliminary hints they may be at greater risk of psychosocial issues. Historically, sleep disorder research relied on surveys, but scientists wanted to see if online data like Twitter could characterize sufferers and find new populations. The platform aims to improve healthcare access in India by providing nurses and attendants, and has gained over 150,000 views with hopes of expanding through franchising and partnerships.
First heart op using 3 d printed model performed in china
Doctors in China performed the first successful open heart surgery using a 3D-printed model of a baby's heart to repair a congenital heart defect. The surgery took half the expected time to complete thanks to the detailed 3D model. The baby is now recovering well after the operation. An experimental dengue vaccine was also reported to be 100% effective in early trials, offering hope that it could help speed up development of a vaccine for Zika virus.
In us, fear of big babies sees a spurt in c sec
Katy Clemens wanted a natural birth but her doctors insisted she have a cesarean section due to an ultrasound estimating her baby would weigh over 11 pounds. When the baby, Sam, was born, he weighed under 8 pounds, suggesting the c-section was unnecessary. A study found mothers who believed they were having large babies were five times more likely to request c-sections, even though few babies met the definition of large. Exaggerated ultrasound estimates may be increasing c-section rates in the US, where 1 in 3 births are now by c-section.
3 d printed ribs save cancer patient's life
A Spanish cancer patient had his sternum and a portion of his rib cage replaced with a 3D printed titanium implant. Due to the complex geometry of the chest wall, a customized 3D printed implant was determined to be the best option. The surgery was a success and the patient has recovered well. It was the first surgery of its kind to use a 3D printed chest wall implant.
Eating chocolate improves memory, brain function
Researchers found that regular chocolate consumption was associated with better performance on cognitive tests. A study of over 900 people aged 23-98 found that those who ate chocolate more frequently did better on tests of visual-spatial memory, organization, working memory, abstract reasoning and mental status. Regular chocolate consumption was linked to better cognitive function, except for working memory, even after accounting for cardiovascular and lifestyle factors.

Cancer drug could help fight parkinson's
A cancer drug called nilotinib that was tested on 12 patients with advanced Parkinson's disease or a similar condition produced remarkable results. Patients who were unable to walk or talk at the start of the study showed significant improvement in motor and speech functions after 6 months of low-dose treatment. Researchers were surprised by the drug's ability to reduce Parkinson's symptoms and hope to conduct larger trials to further evaluate nilotinib's potential benefits for neurodegenerative diseases. However, doctors remain cautious due to the small study size and lack of a control group for comparison.
Why do men exist? To ward off disease & avoid extinction
Males exist because sexual selection helps species ward off disease and avoid extinction. A study found that competition among males for reproduction improves the genetic health of populations by acting as a filter to remove harmful genetic mutations, allowing populations to flourish long-term. The research suggests sexual selection achieves benefits like improving gene pools and boosting population health that help explain why males, despite their costs, provide an important contribution.
Lab grown human embryo lives for 14 days
Scientists grew human embryos in a lab for nearly two weeks, the longest period of time embryos have developed outside the womb. This breakthrough may help improve assisted reproduction and stem cell therapies. It also showed that embryos can mature beyond a few days in vitro, challenging a 14-day rule on developing embryos in labs. While hailed as an advancement, it also raises ethical issues as it pushes scientific boundaries.
Human hibernation may be possible
Scientists are investigating ways to induce hibernation in astronauts for long space flights. Research is looking at how animals hibernate without negative effects and applying some of the techniques, like lowering body temperature, to humans. Early trials are being conducted to see if astronauts can be placed in a sleep-like state for days or weeks through temperature control without harm. If successful, induced hibernation could allow for deep space travel.
New eye drop gives humans night vision
Researchers in the US successfully induced temporary night vision in a human subject by injecting an eye drop solution containing chlorin e6 directly into the eyes. The test subject was able to see shapes up to 10 meters away initially and up to 50 meters away over time, correctly identifying moving objects and symbols against different backgrounds in total darkness. A control group without the eye drops only got objects correct a third of the time compared to the test subject's 100% success rate. The researchers plan to conduct more rigorous testing of the night vision inducing eye drops.
Focussing the brain on better vision
Contrast sensitivity, the ability to distinguish light and dark gradations, declines with age which can cause problems like stumbling on stairs or swerving while driving. However, new research shows that contrast sensitivity can be improved in older adults through brief brain training exercises. A study found that after just five sessions, the vision of people aged 60-70 significantly improved on measures of contrast sensitivity, showing greater gains than young adults who also received the training.
Chinese edit human embryos, spark fury
Chinese scientists have successfully edited the genes of human embryos for the first time, raising ethical concerns. They were able to modify a gene linked to a blood disorder, but problems meant it couldn't be widely used. While 28 of 71 embryos were successfully spliced, the technique also mutated other genes, potentially creating new disorders. There are worries about how genetic alterations may affect descendants, yet testing on humans crosses ethical lines about what can be done to modify ourselves.

Created a bionic heart that does not beat
Australian researchers have developed the world's first bionic heart that pumps blood without a pulse. The device, called BiVACOR, was successfully implanted into a sheep. It uses magnetic levitation instead of sacs to pump blood, avoiding wear and tear that plagues traditional artificial hearts. The bionic heart could last up to 10 years, significantly longer than previous designs. Researchers hope to begin human trials within 3-5 years if additional testing and funding are secured.
Breast enhancement
Breast size is a sensitive issue for many women and can have a profound effect upon your confidence, sense of attractiveness and overall happiness.

Your plastic water bottle could be as dirty as your toilet
Researchers tested four types of reusable water bottles and found that bottles that were used for a week without washing had more bacteria than a toilet seat. Specifically, the slide-top bottle had more bacteria than an average toilet seat, pet bowl, or kitchen sink. Over 60% of the bacteria found on the bottles could make people sick. The cleanest bottle type tested was the straw-top bottle, and researchers also found that stainless steel bottles were healthier options than plastic bottles.
1st `tampon disease' vaccine developed
Scientists have developed the world's first vaccine for Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS), a severe illness caused by bacterial toxins that often affects young women using tampons during their periods. The vaccine was successfully tested in an initial Phase I human trial. TSS, also known as "tampon disease," causes symptoms of sepsis and was first linked to the use of highly absorbent "super tampons" in the 1980s, leading regulators to limit tampon absorbency. The new vaccine could provide protection against the bacterial toxins that cause this potentially life-threatening condition.
Cancer treatment during pregnancy not unsafe
A new study of over 100 children who were exposed to cancer treatment during their mother's pregnancy in the last two trimesters showed that the children had normal cognitive and cardiac function. The study found no difference in cardiac or cognitive development between children exposed to cancer treatment in utero and a control group. This suggests that termination of pregnancy or early preterm delivery is not necessarily warranted to enable a pregnant woman to receive cancer treatment, as exposure during the later stages of pregnancy appears to pose no additional risks to the child's development.
Drug to slow down aging
Scientists have identified a new class of drugs called "senolytics" that dramatically slow the aging process in animal models by reducing frailty and improving heart function. The drugs target senescent cells that accumulate with age and accelerate aging. Testing on two existing compounds, dasatinib and quercetin, showed they selectively induce death of senescent cells. This suggests targeting senescent cells may help extend healthspan and treat age-related diseases.

This document summarizes a study conducted on women with breast cancer at the Kailash Cancer Hospital and Research Center in Goraj, India. The study was conducted by Archana Bhatt and Anita Rakhe to fulfill their master's degree requirements. It examines the situation of women diagnosed with breast cancer, including their physical and mental health, family support, and treatment experiences. Key findings included that most participants were illiterate and complained of tumors in their breasts. The document provides context on breast cancer risks, symptoms, screening and theories of progression. It aims to understand patient experiences and provide recommendations to support women's healthy and happy lives.
Why are we afraid of spiders. it's in our dna
- A fear of spiders is innate and represents an evolutionary adaptation for survival, as spiders in Africa posed a significant threat to early humans.
- Researchers found that people can spot spiders very quickly even when other distracting images are present, indicating arachnophobia may be innate rather than learned.
- Spiders in Africa where humans evolved were highly venomous and their bites could incapacitate people for long periods, so the ability to quickly detect spiders conferred an evolutionary advantage.
1st `tampon disease' vaccine developed
Scientists have developed the world's first vaccine for Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS), a severe circulatory and organ failure caused by bacterial toxins from Staphylococcus bacteria. The vaccine was successfully tested in a Phase I trial. TSS, also known as "tampon disease", often affects young women using super absorbent tampons and was first described in the 1980s. This led to regulations on the absorbency of tampons.
Why wait for `mr right', settle for `mr right now'
Settling for "Mr. Right Now" rather than waiting for "Mr. Right" may be a better evolutionary strategy according to scientists. Researchers used computational models to study risk aversion through generations of digital organisms and found that early reproduction with an available mate provides an evolutionary advantage over waiting for a perfect mate under conditions of scarce resources. While risk aversion varies among individuals, evolution favors a range of risk-taking behaviors. The study suggests humans' tendency for risk aversion correlates with the small group sizes of 150 or less that primitive humans lived in.
Soon, uterus transplants to begin in us
Uterus transplants from deceased donors are soon beginning in the United States at the Cleveland Clinic, following successful transplants in Sweden. The Cleveland Clinic will perform the first uterus transplant in the US to allow women born without a uterus or who had theirs removed to carry a pregnancy. Eight women are being screened initially for the temporary transplants, which will be removed after one or two births to discontinue immunosuppressant drugs. Uterine transplantation pairs transplantation surgery and reproductive medicine specialists and may benefit many women, but risks include those of surgery and lifetime immunosuppressant drugs.
Management of Early Stage Breast Cancer
It is indeed a great pleasure to publish the fi rst edition of this book on Early Breast Cancer. Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in developed and developing countries like India. In India it accounts for the major proportion of oncologists’ work. The incidence of breast cancer has steadily increased since the 1970s across the globe. However due to the effective implementation of screening programs, early detection, and effective treatment, breast cancer mortality has decreased in developed countries. In developing countries, early detection and improvement in overall survival are yet to be achieved.
With the rapidly advancing trends in the treatment and care of women with breast cancer, it has become increasingly diff i cult for busy clinicians to keep up to date with the latest guidelines and newer approaches to treatment. We have carefully chosen experts from specif i c fi elds to author each chapter so that this serves as a comprehensive textbook.
The textbook covers a broad range of topics including:
• Epidemiology • Prevention • Early detection and diagnosis • Prognostic and predictive markers • Molecular biology • Newer pathological and molecular subtypes • Receptor mechanism • Genetics • Developments in imaging modalities • Surgical treatments • Radiation treatments • Drug therapies • Advances in management including precision and personalized treatment
The closing chapter highlights the importance of psychological well-being in cancer treatment. It is included to make physicians aware of the psychosocial issues associated with breast cancer diagnosis and how best to provide psychological sup-port for better outcomes.
x We believe our book should fi nd a place in all oncology departments as a com-prehensive resource for students and oncologists helping them in their clinical deci-sion making. We also hope our book will be a helpful specialist reference for other disciplines including pathology, radiology, pharmacology, molecular biology, genetics, surgery, and various other specialties.It has been a wonderful opportunity to edit this book. An endeavor like this takes the help of a multitude of individuals without whom this book would not have been possible.
We are greatly appreciative of the work of all the authors for the wonderful review and their expertise.
In conclusion we want to acknowledge the thousands of women with breast can-cer who have participated in the studies that have provided the information that has helped to advance the fi eld by leaps and bounds in recent years.
`Selfie elbow' becoming new med condition
Doctors have warned of a new medical condition called "selfie elbow" caused by overuse from taking too many selfies. Like tennis elbow or golfer's elbow, repetitive selfie-taking can cause pain in the elbow due to inflammation from overuse. Taking too many selfies puts stress on the muscle where it attaches to the bone. The condition is treated with anti-inflammatory medication, ice, and stretching. An increasing number of teens are experiencing overuse injuries from excessive technology and social media use like gaming, Snapchat, texting, and taking selfies.
In us, one in nine men at risk of heart attack
One in nine men and one in 30 women in the US are at risk of sudden cardiac death before age 70, according to a new study. Sudden cardiac death claims around 450,000 American lives each year, often in people with no prior heart disease symptoms. Researchers examined over 5,200 men and women aged 28-62 without heart disease and found that lifetime risks were 10.9% for men and 2.8% for women based on factors like blood pressure, cholesterol, smoking, and diabetes.

One in nine men and one in 30 women in the US are at risk of sudden cardiac death before age 70, according to a new study. Sudden cardiac death claims around 450,000 American lives each year, often in people with no prior heart disease symptoms. Researchers examined over 5,200 men and women aged 28-62 without heart disease and found that lifetime risks were 10.9% for men and 2.8% for women based on factors like blood pressure, cholesterol, smoking, and diabetes.

Aiims faculty wants hirings on hold
The Faculty Association of AIIMS has written to the institute director requesting that new recruitment of 118 assistant professors be put on hold. The association argues that there is not enough office space and residential facilities to accommodate more new hires, as 14 doctors have resigned in the last two years due to lack of work space and logistical issues. However, AIIMS administration claims that new hires are needed to address the increased patient load and allow faculty more time for research. The administration is working with the health ministry to build new facilities that will provide more office and residential spaces.
Forced to leave us, jobless researcher drags centre to hc
An Indian doctor was forced to return to India from his job in a US university less than three years after beginning work there. This was because the Indian government refused to issue him a no-obligation to return to India (NORI) certificate following a change in guidelines. He has now challenged this decision in the Bombay high court. If the NORI certificate had been issued, he could have continued his research position in the US. He is now unemployed in India as he cannot do the same specialized research elsewhere.

How pizza shops, steakhouses harm environment
Pizza shops and steakhouses that use charcoal or wood burning stoves produce significant emissions and damage the environment of major cities, according to a new study in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The study found emissions from thousands of pizza shops and domestic waste burning contribute to air pollution in Sao Paulo despite its green vehicle policy. A scientist estimates over 300,000 tons of wood is burned annually by pizzerias and steakhouses in Sao Paulo, negating the positive environmental effects of its biofuel policy for vehicles.
Now, `guided chemo missiles' that target only cancer cells
Scientists have developed proteins that can target and deliver chemotherapy drugs directly to cancer cells, avoiding healthy cells. These "guided missile" proteins bind to tumors and transport chemotherapy, potentially allowing higher doses that fully infiltrate hard-to-reach tumors without subjecting the whole body to toxic side effects. The proteins may also be able to cross the blood-brain barrier to treat brain cancers. This approach builds on antibody-based therapies by using engineered proteins rather than antibodies to selectively guide anti-cancer drugs.
`Not equal, some disabled need spl care'
Anant Vora, a 15-year-old student with 90% muscular dystrophy disability, cleared his CBSE Class X exams with an 8.4 CGPA despite difficulties due to not receiving specialized care for his condition. While CBSE provides writers and extra time for disabled students, his father argues each disability needs individual consideration and assistance. An advocacy group agrees comprehensive policies are needed to address diverse needs of students with varying disabilities. Anant's parents support his education despite challenges as his condition makes even sitting a problem.
Cloud over colon cancer blood test
The article discusses a new blood-based screening test for colon cancer that was recently approved by the FDA. However, experts have raised concerns about the test because it has not been shown to improve mortality rates compared to other screening methods. The test may be more effective at detecting advanced cancers rather than improving outcomes. While the test could increase screening rates by addressing challenges with current methods, doctors need more evidence that it actually reduces colon cancer deaths before widely incorporating it into practice.
Gm mosquitoes to fight malaria
Bill Gates believes that genetically modified mosquitoes could help reduce malaria deaths within the next 5 years. Researchers are developing a "gene drive" technique to alter mosquitoes so they pass on malaria resistance to nearly all offspring. This could quickly alter entire mosquito populations. While the technology may help reduce malaria, some researchers have raised concerns about potential unintended consequences if the GM mosquitoes crossbreed with other species or develop unexpected mutations. Gates remains optimistic this approach can be made safe with further testing and regulation.
Sea of trash
Marine litter has become a severe problem according to a report. Over the past three decades, more than 11.5 million people in 153 countries collected over 200 million pieces of trash from beaches and oceans through cleanup efforts. Last year alone, one organization collected over 13 million pieces of trash. The document promotes an organization that aims to improve healthcare in India by providing nurses and attendants. It provides contact information and states a mission to make quality healthcare accessible worldwide.
India faces diabetes explosion
India is facing a diabetes epidemic as the number of diabetics is projected to increase to over 100 million in the next 15 years. While India has made progress in reducing childhood stunting, there are growing concerns about the rise in overweight and obese populations that are prone to diabetes. Public health policies need to be strengthened to address both undernutrition and overnutrition issues like diabetes.
Heart disease, cholesterol not linked
An international team of scientists reviewed 19 previous studies involving 68,000 elderly people and found no link between high LDL cholesterol levels and heart disease in those over 60. The study suggests that 92% of elderly people with high cholesterol lived as long or longer than those with low cholesterol, and statin prescriptions may be unnecessary for the elderly. However, some academics have criticized the research methods and questioned the bias of the authors.
Stress and coping
The document discusses stress, its definitions, causes, and physiological effects. It defines stress as the body's response to any demand, and notes that stress can be positive (eustress) or negative (distress) depending on its intensity and duration. Prolonged stress activates the sympathetic nervous system and HPA axis, releasing hormones like cortisol that prepare the body for "fight or flight." However, if stress is chronic it can lead to health problems through the general adaptation syndrome. The cognitive-transactional model holds that stress depends more on one's appraisal and coping abilities than external factors alone. Problem-focused and emotion-focused coping strategies aim to manage stress' psychological and physiological impacts. Maintaining a sense
Evolution of contraception
The document discusses the evolution of contraceptive methods from ancient times to modern progestin-based contraceptives. It traces the development from potentially dangerous ancient methods like using crocodile dung or lead and arsenic potions, to the first modern contraceptives developed in the 1930s using ovarian hormone extracts. It then summarizes many current progestin-based contraceptive options including oral contraceptives, implants, IUDs, injections, and barriers methods. The document provides details on the mechanisms of action, effectiveness, side effects, and appropriate use for these various contraceptive methods.
Toxins in sippy cups a threat to babies
A study found bisphenol A (BPA), a known endocrine disruptor, in 77% of sippy cup samples tested in Delhi. BPA was detected in concentrations as high as 14.9 ppm and can interfere with hormone functions and impact growth in babies. While BPA is now prohibited in baby bottles, there are no regulations on its use in sippy cups.
70% of indians eat non veg, but veg diet getting popular
While 70% of Indians still eat non-vegetarian diets, that number is expected to decline as a vegetarian diet becomes more popular due to increasing health awareness. Rising rates of lifestyle diseases are influencing people to change their diets. Additionally, international studies have shown vegetarians to be healthier than meat-eaters. However, consumption and purchase of chicken and fish is still growing rapidly in India.
4 in 10 american women obese

MERCURY GROUP.BHMS.MATERIA MEDICA.HOMOEOPATHY
Mercurius is named after the roman god mercurius, the god of trade and science. The planet mercurius is named after the same god. Mercurius is sometimes called hydrargyrum, means ‘watery silver’. Its shine and colour are very similar to silver, but mercury is a fluid at room temperatures. The name quick silver is a translation of hydrargyrum, where the word quick describes its tendency to scatter away in all directions.
The droplets have a tendency to conglomerate to one big mass, but on being shaken they fall apart into countless little droplets again. It is used to ignite explosives, like mercury fulminate, the explosive character is one of its general themes.

Chimp like vertebrae leads to back pain

- 2. Contd.. People who suffer from back pain may have vertebrae more like those of chimpanzees than of healthy humans, a new study suggests. Researchers said that bad backs may partly be the result of learning to run before we could walk, in evolutionary terms, with the rapid evolution of the ability to walk upright on two legs leaving some people vulnerable. The study compared the backs of 71 humans, 36 chimpanzees and 15 orangutans, and found that humans with a common form of vertical slipped disc -known as “Schmorl's nodes“ -had vertebrae shaped like those of chimpanzees. The study , published in the journal BMC Evolutionary Biology , suggests that individuals with chimpanzee-like vertebrae are at greater risk of suffering a slipped disc.“Our study is the first to use quantitative methods to uncover why humans are so commonly afflicted with back problems compared to non-human primates,“ said Dr Kimberly Plomp from Simon Fraser University in Canada.
