Now to treat burns, use spray-on-skin

PTI Oct 6, 2011, 06.12AM IST
PERTH: Have you ever imagined a technique where you don't have to undergo surgery for burns and they can be cured by a simple spray on your skin?
An Australia-based doctor has developed a new 'spray-on-skin' technique, which allows the rapid administration of skin cells, speeding up the healing process and significantly reducing scarring simply by having your consultant spray the skin.

Soon, a pill that can reverse diabetes ANI Oct 12, 2011, 12.00AM IST


A daily pill that could cure diabetes is one step closer to reality, thanks to the efforts by the researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis who discovered how to reverse the condition.
The researchers have discovered a compound made naturally in the body that can reverse diabetes and restore normal blood sugar metabolism in diabetic mice.

This naturally occurring compound, called nicotinamide mononucleotide, or NMN, plays a vital role in how cells use energy.
Shin-ichiro Imai, MD, PhD, associate professor of developmental biology, and his colleagues were able to normalise blood sugar levels in diabetic mice by injecting them with the chemical.
"After giving NMN, glucose tolerance goes completely back to normal in female diabetic mice," said Imai.
"In males, we see a milder effect compared to females, but we still see an effect. These are really remarkable results. NMN improves diabetic symptoms, at least in mice," he added.
Imai said the discovery holds promise for people because the mechanisms that NMN influences are largely the same in mice and humans.
He and his team are now working on a way of administering NMN to mice in drinking water.
"Once we can get a grade of NMN that humans can take, we would really like to launch a pilot human study," said Imai.
The research is detailed online Oct. 4 in Cell Metabolism.

New radar tech can see through concrete walls!

    • AgenciesTags : New radar tech, see through walls, Lincoln LaboratoryPosted: Wed Oct 19 2011, 17:26 hrsWashington:
    A new radar technology developed at MIT’s Lincoln Laboratory has brought science fiction into reality with its ability to see through walls.
    The technology can provide real-time video of what’s going on behind solid walls, Science Daily reported.
    Much as humans and other animals see via waves of visible light that bounce off objects and then strike our eyes’ retinas, radar “sees” by sending out radio waves that bounce off targets and return to the radar’s receivers.
    But just as light can’t pass through solid objects in quantities large enough for the eye to detect, it’s hard to build radar that can penetrate walls well enough to show what’s happening behind.
    The researchers’ device is an unassuming array of antenna arranged into two rows – eight receiving elements on top, 13 transmitting ones below – and some computing equipment, all mounted onto a movable cart.
    It has powerful implications for military operations, especially “urban combat situations,” said Gregory Charvat, technical staff at Lincoln Lab and the leader of the project.
    The system may be used at a range of up to 60 feet away from the wall and it gives a real-time picture of movement behind the wall in the form of a video at the rate of 10.8 frames per second.
    Because the processor uses a subtraction method – comparing each new picture to the last, and seeing what’s changed – the radar can only detect moving targets, not inanimate objects such as furniture.
    Still, even a human trying to stand still moves slightly, and the system can detect these small movements to display that human’s location.

    On connecting the dots BETWEEN Steve Jobs and us


    PLANE

     You can't connect the dots looking forward you can only connect them looking backwards.

    So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.

    You have to trust in something: your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever.

    Because believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart, even when it leads you off the well worn path. 


    YES WHEN YOU CONNECT ADAM BACKWARDS TO US ;(OR  WAS IT FORWARDS?!)







    CONNECT BACK TO THE BIG BANG 


     AND CONNECT IT BACK TO THE POTENTIAL ENERGY  WHICH EXPLODED AT THE BI BANG



     THE STORY UNFOLDS OF HUMAN LIFE AND STRUGGLE .THOUGH IT LOOKS THAT EVERYTHING IS SO DISCONNECTED IN LIFE AND SCIENCE ;





    BUT WHEN ON DEEPER ANALYSIS IT IS ALL CONNECTED;BOTH LIVING AND NON LIVING  AND WORKING WITH A COLLECTIVE CONSCIOUSNESSES OF ONE  LIVING BEING





    AND TRY TO CONNECT THE DOTS BEFORE THE BIG BANG BACK INTO THE BIG ?ENERGY?MATTER?





    YES ONE CAN CONNECT THE EVENTS FROM THE  BIG BANG DOWN TO US
     WE CANNOT CONNECT THE PRE BIG BANG DOTS WITH OUR PRESENT DAY LIMITATION  OF KNOWLEDGE /TECH:






    COSMOS MAY SHOW ECHOES OF EVENTS BEFORE BIG BANGHTTP://SETYOUFREENEWS.BLOGSPOT.COM/2010/11/COSMOS-MAY-SHOW-ECHOES-OF-EVENTS-BEFORE.HTML

    ANY BODY WITH TIME AND AN ANALYTICAL MIND CAN CONNECT ALL THE DOTS BACKWARDS ;
     WITH A SUPER COMPUTER-AN ULTIMATE  NeXT WE WILL BE ABLE TO CONNECT FOREWORDS ALSO-
    WHEN MAN BECOMES SUPER MAN



    It's about connecting the dots: those connection points of intelligence, ...This is what Steve Jobs did every day of his life: he used his intuition to connect dots of opportunity that didn't yet exist. ... What's Next In Commerce ... Family is my priority and I enjoy mentoring and giving back to the community.


    The real lessons Steve Jobs has left us ... The back of the iMac was better than the front of the other guys' ... the nextversion and the next product and thinking about the one after that. ... That typography used by the Mac got incorporated into the protocol for Windows. ..


    “It was pretty scary at the time, but lookingback it was one of the best decisions I ever made. ... Jobs went on to create NeXT and Pixar and eventually returned to Apple when it purchased NeXT. ... And since Windows just copied the Mac


    NeXT CONNECTED THE DOT WITH WINDOWS 


    MAN CONNECTED ? THE DOTS TO MONKEYS


    BEES CONNECTED THE DOTS TO HONEY AND POLLINATION 






    THE BIRDS AND THE BEES DOES IT FOR PROPAGATION




    SOME PEOPLE CANNOT CONNECT THE DOT TO A CENTRAL ORGANIZER OF THE WHOLE JOKE 




    SOME SAY GOD ;OTHERS SAY NATURE 






    WHAT EVER THE NAME IT IS THE SAME 






     PEOPLE HAVE A GOD CENTER IN THE BRAIN ;SAYS NEROLOGISTS ;



    SOME USE IT OTHERS NOT


    LET US CONNECT THE DOTS TO FIND THE ANSWER








    FOCUSING ON THE ENDS, RATHER THAN THE MEANS


    Some of these ends include:
    1. Connecting the Dots
    2. Engagement and Motivation
    3. Efficiency
    4. Innovation














                                        THOSE WHO VIEW FROM OUTSIDE THE EVENT 




    THERE IS NO TIME LAG BETWEEN BIG BANG AND THE PRESENT 





    NO DOTS BACKWARD NOR FOREWORD


















    "Everything Starts from a Dot"


    Everything Starts from a Dot"
