Ethnobiology explores the relationships between people, biological organisms, and their environments. It examines how human interactions influence ecological and evolutionary processes, and vice versa. Ethnobiology takes an interdisciplinary approach and uses both qualitative and quantitative methods to study topics like traditional knowledge, nutrition, medicine, and human impacts on biodiversity. Funding comes from various government and nonprofit sources, and international collaboration is important since most cultural and biological diversity exists in developing countries.

Traditional knowledge changing scenario in indiaManjappa Ganiger
1) Traditional knowledge is the accumulated wisdom, knowledge, and teachings of indigenous communities handed down through generations orally or through cultural expressions. It encompasses agricultural knowledge, medicinal knowledge, and expressions of folklore.
2) Efforts are being made in India to document traditional knowledge through community biodiversity registers and digital libraries to protect it from unauthorized use. Mechanisms like benefit sharing agreements and prior informed consent also aim to protect traditional knowledge holders' rights.
3) Traditional knowledge plays a significant role in developing India's systems of medicine like Ayurveda. Many medicinal plants traditionally used by tribes for centuries now find acceptance in these medical systems and even modern medicine.

This document discusses pathogens and infection control. It begins by defining bacteria as single-celled microorganisms that multiply through binary fission. It then discusses the importance of infection control procedures and outlines some key responsibilities for healthcare workers, including practicing good hand hygiene, using appropriate PPE, and following protocols for cleaning equipment and managing waste. The document emphasizes that strict adherence to infection control procedures is crucial to prevent the spread of pathogens in healthcare settings.
The document discusses cultural epigenetics, which examines how environmental and cultural factors can affect gene expression and influence human evolution over generations. It provides examples of how experiences like adolescent drug exposure in rats can impact offspring physiology by altering the epigenome. Understanding these intergenerational epigenetic effects may help explain human cognitive development and conditions like depression. The document argues that culture represents an "epigenetic catalyst" alongside genetics, with both shaping human traits and phenotypes over thousands of years of gene-culture coevolution.
This document summarizes a journal club presentation on the dual inheritance theory. The dual inheritance theory proposes that human behavior is influenced by both genetic evolution and cultural evolution. Culture can influence gene frequencies over time. For example, cultures that raise cattle for milk have seen increased frequencies of the gene for lactose tolerance. The presentation also discusses how culture and genes may have co-evolved to influence traits like individualism vs collectivism.
The document discusses OSA pathogenesis and suggests that excess body weight and regional adipose tissue are major risk factors for OSA, but that other elements like craniofacial abnormalities and alterations to the upper airway structure also contribute to OSA development. Studies have used techniques like cephalometry, CT scans, and MRI to examine potential craniofacial abnormalities and abnormalities within upper airway soft tissue structures that may be connected to OSA appearance and its relationship to physiological changes in craniofacial morphology or speech acquisition.
This study examined the relationship between Notch signaling and lymphatic malformations using immunohistochemistry on tissue samples from lymphatic malformation and lymphangiomatosis patients. The results showed that lymphatic malformation endothelial cells have reduced expression of lymphatic markers like Podoplanin compared to normal tissue. Lymphatic malformation tissues also had increased expression of the stem cell marker CD133. Analysis of lymphangiomatosis tissues found expression of lymphatic markers in abnormal cell types and high levels of lymphatic malformation progenitor cells. Notch3 was expressed in CD133-positive progenitor cells but not in lymphatic endothelial cells, suggesting it functions in lymphatic malformation progenitor cells rather than endothelial cells

This document discusses two case studies that demonstrate how humanities research contributes to addressing societal challenges. The first case study shows how archaeologists and biologists collaborating in Finland found that northern Europeans may not have always been heavy milk drinkers as traditionally believed. This rethinking of lactose tolerance in northern Europeans could help improve understanding of food intolerance. The second case study examined video recordings of doctor-patient interactions to identify linguistic patterns that can help distinguish between epileptic and non-epileptic seizures. A method derived from conversation analysis was able to correctly predict diagnoses 85% of the time, improving on traditional focus only on what patients say. These cases illustrate how humanities research provides new perspectives that can address health challenges.

The document provides information about the 17th International Conference on Healthcare and Life Science Research that was held from October 21-22, 2016 in Hong Kong. The conference was located at the Regal Oriental Hotel. The document includes the conference proceedings and contains abstracts from several presentations on topics related to healthcare and life sciences.
Neutrophils are specialized white blood cells that play a key role in the innate immune system's defense against pathogens. They are the most abundant type of white blood cell and circulate in the bloodstream, migrating to sites of infection through a multi-step process involving rolling, adhesion, transmigration, and chemotaxis. At the site of infection, neutrophils phagocytose and kill pathogens using granules containing antimicrobial enzymes and reactive oxygen species. They also form neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) composed of DNA and antimicrobial proteins to ensnare and kill microbes. Uncontrolled activation of neutrophils can cause tissue damage and contribute to chronic inflammatory diseases.
This document proposes a new interdisciplinary field called "Endogenous archaeology" that examines physiological processes from an evolutionary perspective. It suggests analyzing areas like neuroscience, immunology, and genetics through an archaeological lens to better understand how ancient evolutionary influences still impact human biology today. Examples mentioned include how opioid receptors relate to ancestral exposure to opioids in plants, circadian rhythms relating to ancestral eating patterns, and vestigial structures providing insight into human evolutionary history. The field aims to integrate evidence from areas like paleontology, genetics, and neuroscience to develop a more holistic understanding of human physiology and behavior through the lens of the evolutionary processes that shaped human biology.
This document summarizes the accumulation of lipofuscin, an autofluorescent storage material, in tissues. Lipofuscin accumulates as a result of aging and disease processes and is composed of lipids, proteins, carbohydrates and metals. It is found primarily in the lysosome. Three mechanisms are proposed for its accumulation: lysosomal dysfunction due to enzyme defects, altered autophagy, and cellular stress from oxidative damage or starvation. Retinal lipofuscin's major fluorophore is pyridinium bisretinoid, though ceroid's fluorophore is unknown. Lipofuscin accumulation provides insight into disease pathogenesis.
The document discusses erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP), a rare blood disorder that can cause light sensitivity, anemia, and fatigue. Researchers from Boston Children's Hospital studied EPP and its symptoms. EPP is caused by a genetic mutation that leads to an excess of the chemical protoporphyrin in the blood and skin. While there is no cure, treatment aims to manage symptoms and improve quality of life. The disorder was proposed as a possible explanation for myths about vampires being sensitive to sunlight.
This document discusses animal models used in periodontics research. It describes several common animal models including mice, rats, hamsters and minks. Mice are the most commonly used due to their small size, low cost and known genetics. Rats are also widely used as their periodontal anatomy and physiology is similar to humans. Studies in rats and hamsters have provided insights into the pathogenesis and transmission of periodontal disease. While no single animal model fully represents human periodontal disease, collectively these animals have advanced understanding and helped evaluate new treatments before human trials.

Este artículo explora las nuevas perspectivas sobre el proceso de domesticación animal. Tradicionalmente se consideraba que la domesticación ocurrió por la intervención deliberada del hombre, pero ahora se reconoce que fue un proceso natural impulsado por la selección natural. Algunas especies se fueron adaptando paulatinamente a la presencia humana a través de una tendencia a la menor reactividad al estrés. Esto llevó a esquemas de interacción equivalentes a la domesticación que podemos ver hoy en día con animales urbanos. Las nuevas evid

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
