生物芯片

这种生物芯片,科研人员将可以更快确定病人是否感染某种新的流感病毒。

传统的方法须要很多人工步骤,由于我们在研究的是活病毒,因此难免有一些风险。这个芯片将一些过程自动化,病毒也封在芯片内,因此科研人员处理时会更安全

Oxyride battery

Can we run our car with Oxyride battery? very likely ( no fume, no Carbon Monoxide)


The oxyride battery was first introduced to the Japanese market in 2004 and has boasted an impressive demonstration, powering the 9.5 foot (2.9 meter) 'Oxyride' car. The car, built especially for the demonstration and resembling a torpedo with three bicycle wheels, carried a 110 pound (50 kilogram) female passenger laying luge-style under the drop-top canopy. Powered by two AA oxyride batteries, it traveled 213 feet (65 meters) in 74 seconds, and went a total of three quarters of a mile (1.23 kilometers) before the batteries ran dry.

In more practical terms, toy trucks will run faster, PDA's will compute longer, powered toothbrushes will brush longer, and MP3 players will crank out more tunes. In fact, with the advent of more and more digital products that require a battery power source, the oxyride battery promises a brighter and longer-lasting future.

The Panasonic brand of oxyride battery is called 'Digital Xtreme Power' and the AA and AAA oxyrides will cost about 10% more than their normal counterpart alkaline batteries

find early lung cancer

A blood test that looks for the body's own immune response to tumors may provide an easy way to find lung cancer in patients long before an X-ray or CT scan could, U.S. researchers reported on Friday.The test correctly predicted non-small-cell lung cancer in blood samples taken from patients years before they were actually diagnosed with lung cancer

Lung cancer is by far the biggest cancer killer globally. Each year 10 million people are diagnosed with it

University of Kentucky developed a test that looks for certain proteins the body makes in response to very early lung tumors.

好好照顾你的肝脏

肝脏的主要功能,是分泌胆汁、储藏动物淀粉,调节蛋白质、脂肪和碳水化合物的新陈代谢等。还有解毒、造血和凝血作用。

  肝脏还是人体内最大的解毒器官,体内产生的毒物、废物,吃进去的毒物、有损肝脏的药物等等也必须依靠肝脏解毒。

  肝脏分解由肠道吸收或身体其他部分制造的有毒物质,然后以无害物质的形式分泌到胆汁或血液继而排出体外。

Chicken sole bird flu source

chickens are the only known source of bird flu infection in Indonesia so far, animal health experts Thursday urged the government to focus more on combating H5N1 among poultry.

Longtime veterinarian and physician Mangku Sitepoe said although veterinarians had found H5N1 in wild fowls, pigs, flies, birds and water, the source of all human infections in the country thus far had been chickens.

咖啡

长期大量饮酒是造成肝硬化的主要原因。研究人员认为,大多数饮酒者没有患上肝硬化,可能是其他因素在起作用,比如遗传、食物和营养、吸烟以及酒精和其他有害肝脏毒素相互影响等。     研究人员说,他们还不能确定,到底是咖啡因还是咖啡里的其他物质,具有这种保护作用。

Targets Disease Gene

06 Jul 2006

University of New South Wales (UNSW) researchers have announced they are developing a new class of experimental drug that has the potential to treat a diverse range of health problems, from inflammation and cancer through to eye and heart disease. The research is published in the July issue of Nature Biotechnology.

Certain types of skin cancers and blindness due to age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic retinopathy are likely to be among the first uses for the drug. AMD is the most common cause of blindness in Australia (Macular Degeneration Foundation).

The experimental drug has already been shown to be effective on skin cancers in pre-clinical models, in another paper published this month by Professor Khachigian's team in the journal, Oncogene.

防治

从比例来讲,有98%的人是相对健康的,只有2%身患重病,我们应该把更多的注意力放在预防

澳洲医学家文德禄博士(Dr Keith Wendell)经历20年不懈钻研与持续科学验证的成果,以科学辩证为基础,认识到人体本质上极为繁复,时刻在转变,而且是全然整体的能量体系

因为空气和环境的污染,我们在不知不觉中通过呼吸、饮食等在体内存积了一定的毒素

Deep breathing exercise. Clean air environment. Clean drinking....drink about 10 times per day(spacing). Total about 2,000 Ml ( cc) pure water....easy to achieve the first target.

熬夜看球“世界杯眼病”频发

红眼睛、眼部疲劳、颈性眩晕、失眠等几乎成为高发的“世界杯综合征”
每次“世界杯”期间,眼科病人总会突增,几乎是平常就诊量的两三倍。

  电脑视频看球“眼模糊”

  由于时差关系,“世界杯”比赛多在晚间或半夜,不少球迷怕电视声音影响家人休息,多把音量调得很低,而且还得近距离看。此外,不少年轻人还喜欢通过电脑视频看球赛,由于电脑屏幕有一定的闪烁,超近距离看得太久,可能会导致视疲劳。

颈性眩晕失眠频发

  不少颈椎病球迷长时间看电视,又姿势不当,导致头颈部长期处于过伸或过屈状态,颈部软组织劳损,出现颈性眩晕,视物模糊、头晕、头痛、颈部僵硬等。

  出现颈性眩晕,主要是因为颈部固定于一个位置时间太长,引起颈椎病变,压迫或刺激颈椎通过的椎动脉,导致暂时性脑供血不足。

远离糖尿病 请多运动

一项新的研究结果指出,经常活动的人要比不经常活动的人寿命为长,患糖尿病的危险也要小得多。专家建议,平时可从低强度运动开始,再逐渐进入中等强度运动。

  糖尿病是一种慢性疾病,可引起多种并发症。近年来不断有资料显示,第二型糖尿病是已发展国家和发展中国家越来越令人担心的医药问题,目前全球糖尿病患者有增加的趋势,预期到了2030年全球第二型糖尿病患人数将多达3亿6600万人。

积极抗癌

疾病的可治与不可治,并不存在一条不可逾越的鸿沟,但是与疾病斗争,却一定要主动配合治疗、解除忧虑,并抱着“既来之、则安之”的态度面对,心境保持开朗,把来自各方的温暖化作抗疾的力量,对治疗效果很有帮助。

Cervical Cancer Vaccine for Australian Women Available in September

On June 23, the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration confirmed its approval of Gardasil, the HPV vaccine invented by Australian immunologist Ian Frazer. Starting in September, according to manufacturer CSL, women will be able to obtain a prescription for the vaccine, which will retail at about $460 (US$335). Australian Medical Association (AMA) President Dr. Mukesh Haikerwal said that, while its expense limited the distribution of the vaccine, it was better than nothing. However, Gardasil needs to have universal application to have an effect on mortality rates, he added. To be effective, he said, the vaccine "needs to be available to all young women to prevent cervical cancer. It offers a very real chance of reducing cervical cancer
