Chemical A: binds and blocks acetylcholine receptors of muscle cellsChemical B: floods the cytoplasm of muscle cells with calcium ions
Answers:
I would say A.If ACh receptors are blocked, then the action potential chain reaction is never started, the sarcolemma's terminal cisternae are never activated (and so PREVENTS the release of calcium ions).The release of calcium ions is what opens the G actin active sites on the thin filament and allows the myosin heads to start tugging on them and causes tension in the muscle.
Flexaril is a great muscle relaxant. I have been taking it for quite some time with no problems. Someone on the list posted a few weeks ago that they spoke with their relative who is a doctor and he told them that Flexaril doesn't cause other problems and is not addictive.
Arthcare Oil is an Anti -Inflammatory Muscle Relaxant Massage Oil: The Best Herbal and Natural Solution for Joint Pain and Back Pain Relief
hey, im not 100 percent sure on this one, but i think if you flood the cytoplasm with calcium ions the muscles will contract and u want them to relax. so i would go with A. i think every muscle relaxant works with acetylcholine. to double check, do a search on Flexeril on webmd or any medical site. hope this helps
Chemicals Name**********.
Brand Name: Soma
Chemical Name: carisoprodolBrand Name: Flexeril
Chemical Name: cyclobenzaprine hydrochlorideBrand Name: Valium
Chemical Name: diazepamBrand Name: Robaxin
Chemical Name: methocarbamolBrand Name: Norflex
Chemical Name: orphenadrine citrate
**********.How It WorksMuscle relaxant medications relax muscles and may help reduce pain in people who have muscle spasms.
Why It Is UsedMuscle relaxant medications are used when muscle spasms develop because of pain caused by a herniated disc.Valium is not recommended for use by pregnant women, older adults, or people with depression or a history of drug or alcohol addiction.
How Well It WorksMuscle relaxant medications are usually helpful for reducing the pain of muscle spasms. Muscle relaxants may help to relax muscle spasms caused by a herniated disc; however, muscle relaxants will not affect the herniated disc itself.1 Side Effects
Side effects of muscle relaxant medications include: * Drowsiness.
* Dry mouth.
* Likelihood of addiction with regular use of diazepam (Valium) and carisoprodol (such as Soma).
* Urinary retention.
Cholinesterses have inconvenient side effects like drooping of eye lids constriction of pupils,decreasing intestinal motility etc. Calcium ions perpetuate muscle contractions.

Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis?
A 31-year-old homosexual man presents complaining of pain with defecation. He denies any symptoms of diarrhea, abdominal pain, or fevers. Six months earlier, he developed traveler's diarrhea while vacationing in Mexico. On physical examination, he is afebrile and has an unremarkable abdominal examination. On examination of the perianal area, there is a group of five clustered ulcers adjacent to the anal orifice and extending into the anal canal. A sigmoidoscopy reveals normal rectosigmoid mucosa. Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis?
Answers:
Ulcerative colitis
and the following is_________
could be hemmoroids that have bursted. could be bacterial/viral or a parasite. Could even be an STD. From the information given, I would think that the diarrhea situation had nothing to do with this. It is most probably hemmoroids but please don't rely on anyone's diagnosis here.. We aren't Dr. House or anything (from the TV show "House")

which of the college give admission to foriegn students of pharmacy and accept a foriegn courses of pharmacy
i searching for a college which give admission in pharmacy for foriegn student. and i have completed my pharmacy from india plz help me
Answers:
Many will. Don't pick a college based on what "they" will or won't accept. Choose the college "you" want to attend then contact them and discuss your background. Most schools are willing to work with you regardless of whether you are a foreign student or not and will transfer your credits as long as they are from an accredited school. Good luck.
Purdue University, not sure if you can transfer your credits though.

Which muscle is damaged when a person suffers from passive leakage?
Is it internal or external anal sphincter? Facing an exam in a few weeks and currently kind of confused.List source, if possible =)
Answers:
Passive faecal incontinence or soiling--that is, faecal leakage without awareness--is usually associated with dysfunction of the smooth muscle tissue of the internal anal sphincter or with impacted stool in the rectum. Faecal urgency and urge incontinence are generally related to dysfunction of the striated muscle tissue of the external anal sphincter or to high bowel pressures and a normal sphincter, seen in patients with irritable bowel syndrome or diarrhoea from other causes.
Depends what is being passively leaked, and from what site.Example - passive leakage of blood back down the leg veins away from the heart would result from damaged vein valves.Passive leakage of brain fluid from the nose indicates a tear in the dura mater covering the brain.Passive leakage of information to inappropriate sources results from an injured sense of loyaltyPassive leakage of semen or any of its components thru the tip of the penis indicates damage to, at the very least, the valve that switches during orgasm to allow semen to flow from the penis, instead of urine.In the case of urine leakage, the likely culprit is the bladder outlet muscle, a muscle that sits at the base of the pelvis, and opens when we relax it in order to pass urine intentionally.Passive leakage of stool results from damage to the anal sphincter.So, in short, passive leakage of any liquid or other substance results from damage to whatever structure normally holds the said substance inside at the place of leakage.

which molecule attaches to the coenzyme A in Kreb's cycle?
Answers:
oxaloacetate
The 4th step in the Krebs' cycle: The alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex, which includes HS-CoA. The product is Succinyl-CoA. This is a key regulatory step in the Citric Acid Cycle.Oxaloacetate will react with Acetyl CoA (not plain CoA) to form citrate synthase. So if you were asking about Acetyl CoA, the answer is oxaloacetate, but if you're asking about CoA, it's the 4th step described above.
Which medicine is used to treat malaria? Where are the medicines derived from?
Answers:
Malaria is derived from mala aria (Medieval Italian for "bad air") and formerly called ague or marsh fever in English, is an infectious disease which causes about 350-500 million infections with humans and approximately 1.3 - 3 million deaths annually, mainly in the tropics. Sub-Saharan Africa accounts for 85-90% of these fatalities. The death rate is expected to double in the next 20 years. The exact statistics are unknown because many cases occur in rural areas where people do not have access to hospitals and/or the means to afford health care. Consequently, many cases are undocumented.Malaria is caused by the protozoan parasites of the genus Plasmodium (of the phylum Apicomplexa), and the transmission vector for human malarial parasite is the female Anopheles mosquito. The P. falciparum variety of the parasite accounts for 80% of cases and 90% of deaths. Children under the age of five and pregnant women are the most vulnerable to the severe forms of malaria.
Treatments:There are several families of drugs used to treat malaria. Chloroquine was the antimalarial drug of choice for many years in most parts of the world. However, resistance of Plasmodium falciparum to chloroquine has spread recently from Asia to Africa, making the drug ineffective against the most dangerous Plasmodium strain in many affected regions of the world.There are several other substances which are used for treatment and, partially, for prevention (prophylaxis). Many drugs can be used for both purposes; larger doses are used to treat cases of malaria. Their deployment depends mainly on the frequency of resistant parasites in the area where the drug is used.Currently available anti-malarial drugs include:Artemether-lumefantrine (Therapy only, commercial name Coartem)
Artesunate-amodiaquine (Therapy only)
Atovaquone-proguanil, trade name Malarone (Therapy and prophylaxis)
Quinine (Therapy only)
Chloroquine (Therapy and prophylaxis; usefulness now reduced due to resistance)
Doxycycline (Therapy and prophylaxis)
Mefloquine, trade name Lariam (Therapy and prophylaxis)
Primaquine (Therapy in P. vivax and P. ovale only; not for prophylaxis)
Proguanil (Prophylaxis only)
Sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (Therapy; prophylaxis for semi-immune pregnant women in endemic countries as "Intermittent Preventive Treatment" - IPT) Before antibiotics, patients with syphilis were intentionally infected with malaria to create a fever. By accurately controlling the fever with quinine, the effects of both syphilis and malaria could be avoided.Preventions and controlMethods used to prevent the spread of disease, or to protect individuals in areas where malaria is endemic, include prophylactic drugs, mosquito eradication, and the prevention of mosquito bites. There is currently no vaccine that will prevent malaria, but this is an active field of research.
Early and effective chemo-therapy for malaria has a pivotal role in reducing morbidity and mortality especially since a vaccine is unlikely to emerge within the next decade. Multidrug resistance has been reported from most parts of the world and as a result, monotherapy or some of the available combination chemotherapies for malaria are either ineffective or less effective. New antimalarial regimens are, therefore, urgently needed and antimalarial combination chemotherapy is widely advocated. Antimalarial combinations can increase efficancy, shorten duration of treatment (and hence increase compliance), and decrease the risk of resistant parasites arising through mutation during therapy.
Combination therapy with antimalarial drugs is the simultaneous use of two or more blood schizontocidal drugs with independent modes of action and different biochemical targets in the parasite. The concept of combination therapy is based on the synergistic or additive potential of two or more drugs, to improve therapeutic efficacy and also delay the development of resistance to the individual components of the combination.Artemisinin based combinations are known to improve cure rates, reduce the development of resistance and they might decrease transmission of drug-resistant parasites. The total effect of artemisinin combinations (which can be simultaneous or sequential) is to reduce the chance of parasite recrudescence, reduce the within-patient selection pressure, and prevent transmission.
malaria is treated from a special herb scientifically called quinn is im sure its derived from the bark of a apecific tree the proccessed form of the herb is called chloroqinn and its used to treat malaria..
which medicine can reduce my tummy fat?
Answers:
There is no medication that can target specific fat sites..ie: stomach. A healthy diet (including complex carbohydrates, lean protein, fruits and vegetables) and an increase in physical activity (ie: exercise) are the most important part of any weight-loss regimen. However, there are some medications on the market that can assist in weight loss. The over the counter "weight-loss" aids generally contain a diuretic or laxative which causes you to lose some water weight (not a long-term solution). Prescription medications can be appetite suppressants (eg: Ionamin, Tenuate), stimulants (eg: Meridia, Desoxyn) or fat blockers (eg: Xenical). These medications can have some serious side effects, but may be a short term "boost" for some people. It is important to weigh the risk vs. benefit for each individual person.
None.
You have to exercise.
non you need to diet and exercise
The best way is through diet and exercise. There are some products on the market that claim to reduce body fat. But they have not been studied well, and are not regulated by the food and drug administration. If you really want to try a medication, I would talk to your doctor first. And you can also do a Google search for the type of product you are looking for.
It's called a treadmill, stairmaster and a diet.
Medicine Name is intension for loosing the tummy
Get up early in the morning and in empty stomach drink the following mixture:- take a glass and fill it with luke warm water.
Add 2tablespoon of honey and lemon juice in it.Drink it and then do some exercise.After that attend the nature's call.You will lose 5kg in a month.Make sure to avoid fatty and oily food.
Exercise and a healthy diet.
which medical school does not require an "entire year of physics" as a prerequisite.?
Answers:
Possibly some of the foreign schools, but you need two semesters at least to have the knowledge base to pass the physics portion of the MCAT, and quite likely will need that level of understanding for many of the concepts IN medical school. You might want to sign up for a semester at a community college or jr college to get some concepts and confidence under your belt before signing up for it at your primary institution.
it depends were you are living . in some countries you just need money to enter a good medical school.
Just take a complete year of physics. You will need that knowledge for the MCAT anyway.
you need to be able to understand physics to do medecine, and maths and chemistry and biology- it's a difficult course to do!
It would have to be a bad one! You need to understand physics in order to understand a lot of medicine and science .. so just suck it up, take physics and get it over with!
actually a lot of medical schools are willing to let you in medical school without the physics background as long as you take physics in your first year of med school. However, that doesnt excuse you from the physics portion of the MCATs and you would still have to take physics in med school.
University of Hong Kong, where I study now =P
But is an entire year of physics really that hard? I survived through 5 years anyway.
Which male enhancement pills or products really work?
I see lots of commercials about natural male enhancement pills. I am interested in trying to enhance myself but I don't know what really works. Anyone with real experience?
Answers:
And if you hold this magic feather, you can fly. **wink**Do not believe everything you see or hear. You would be better off learning to be satisfied (and how to satisfy) with what you already have than in spending money for what someone want you to believe you need.
I'm guessing none, you'll just have to learn to use what you got.
None.Quit worrying about the size of your unit.. how insecure can you be?
the little blue pill seems to be awefully popular
The "male enhancement" of enzyte refers to erectile dysfunction.The other male enhancement, increasing the size of your manhood, is totally and completely bogus
All of them are just marketing lies. Ask your personal physician for advice.
never needed them but i just read that those commercials are scams.http://www.cnn.com/2006/law/09/21/enzyte.
Dont use that stuff it will have bad side affects sterile,erectile dysfunction. that is what i heard from a friend of mine.
If you're into the guy/guy scene, then you're out of luck cuz they are all bogus. If you're into the guy/gal scene, then you don't need anything to change what you've got. maybe just a little self confidence??
Oh stop it!! Find someone who appreciates you for who you are %26 not for how big it is!! By the way.porn stars use prosthetics most of the time!!
better go to doctor. sounds like you have tini wini peeni dick sickness. congrats
To some women, especially american women or women who have been americanized size does matter, but here's a reality check and i think someone else here said the same thing. Find someone who likes you for you. The stay hard pills do work but as for increasing your tool size, they are all scams. Only in america does size matter, thats why we sell "biggie burgers" or 32oz sodas. Any doctor will tell you that none of that is healthy so if its not healthy for a simple food product imagine the effects on ones sexuality = bigger is not necessarily better. Unless you're trying to become a porn star and if thats the case you're kinda stuck with; A)what you were born with B)a prosthetic. get a life.
Prescription ones, yes, alternative medicine ones, probably not.Interestingly, analysis of some of the "natural" ones showed the active ingredient of Viagra. As those meds are not so well regulated, who knows how many have gotten away with that?

Which main differences are there between viruses and prions ?
Answers:
Viruses are nucleic acid (either DNA or RNA) in a protein sheath. They infect a host cell and use the cells molecular machinery to create new virus particles, which will often kill the host cell.Prions are protein infectious particles. They are generally types of proteins similar to those in the host, but that are folded improperly, and may be encoded from a source of DNA which suffers from a genetic defect which facillitates the improper folding. However, once a prion encounters a protein of the same type that is folded properly, it can cause the protein to re-fold into the improper fashion which makes it a prion. this repeats as a chain reaction, destorying a great number of proteins, and causing damage.Mad Cow disease (bovine spongiform encephalopathy) is the result of a prion, and the reversion of the protein to a prion creates "holes" in the brain--hence the name spongiform. This destruction of the brain causes the damage associated with the disease. A human equivalent exists by the name of Kuru (in Papua New Guinea, where it was first characterized) or called Crutzfeld-Jacobs disease (CJD) by medical experts.
prions are the smallest microorganisms,smaller then viruses.it,s actually DNA only
The professor gave a pretty good explanation. Prions are proteins that interact with other proteins, while virii are proetin encapsulated bits of DNA (or RNA) that our cells will read and replicate and make more virii from.Prions are NOT pure DNA; they are pure protein, and they are not organisms; a prion is just a protein.
Which is worse: to throw away unused embryos from fertility clinics or use them for stem cell rese?
I could make the argument that throwing them away is destroying life. Would God approve that or prefer they are used to try to heal the sick?
Answers:
Why is God even in this equation? If you want to make an argument about morality fine but don't include God because we shouldn't be making decisions about research based on what we think.God thinks.It's stupid to throw away embryos that could be usefull in research. Stem cells may not be the wave of the future.but it's certainly worth exploring. Research cures and ignorance kills.
so 2 wrongs make a right now? destroying them in the first place will make it right?the question should also be posed: which is worse, to kill homeless/vagrants? or to not donate their body to medical schools after?and besides the point. stem cell research has not really proven to be very effective, far from the future of all research and the savior of humanity that it is made out to be. the research that is being done on 'adult' stem cells has proven far more prospective and has results, not promises.
Well, if this was a straight ethics question, then the answer would depend on your views of life itself -- is an embryo to be considered potential life or actual life? Unused embryos might, in one view, be considered no different to all the spontaneously aborted embryos that die every day without the mother even knowing that fertilization had occurred (happens all the time; by one estimate I've heard, nearly 20% of all pregnancies spontaneously abort themselves within the first few weeks of pregnancy, and the mothers know nothing had happened), whereas stem cell research consciously and deliberately utilizes the embryos for scientific purposes. Using them to save another person's life when they would otherwise be allowed to die and flushed down the drain (so to speak) could be considered the best use, at least by some people; their existence served a purpose other than just to play understudy to the child that was actually brought to term. Others think it's like abortion, killing babies for science, even though as unused embryos, they would never be brought to term anyway.However, since you did bring the G-man into the discussion, now you have to consider how an omnipotent being would regard our use of His creation, and that is not for us to say. Let's be blunt about this: we kill things. We kill animals for meat, we kill plants for vegetables, we kill each other because they have something we want. and so does everything else in nature. If you believe in God, then you have to believe that God made us this way. If using stem cells from unused embryos goes against God's plan, if it uses human tissue in a way that perverts His creation, then organ transplants are just as perverse, as are skin grafts, donor bone implants, blood donation, or about half of modern medicine, because it tinkers around with human tissues that would otherwise naturally die and return to the earth.
well what is a laboratory made embryo??
some cells fused together like any other laboratory study we do with any other animal cells ,
they are just cells,put together
there is not a baby talking to us that the clinic is going to kill
,so they made those embryos from women and man donated cells
and they should do with it what ever they need to do
god has nothing to do with the medical science ,i think there is nothing in common between science and religion
Research baby. Stem cells are just that. cells.
If they were human they would be called stem humans.
Stem cells are not human.. they are nothing. Just genetic material that can HELP US FIND CURES NOW.
Important research that can help us find cures for diabetes, heart disease, parkinsons, cancer. can I keep listing.
What would we do with these stem cells anyway.. we cant throw them away.. because those abortion people will come after us!
By the way, since these abortion protestors are so adamant about preserving life and a cluster of cells, can we have them raise these children. just wondering. it would make decisions easier
It sounds to me like you trying to make your mind on this issue by what people think god would think. If that's the case, you're never going to have an answer. According to your first question it's picking between the lesser of 2 evils. You think both of them are wrong and nothing short of God personally speaking to you and telling you that one of them is good is going to change your mind. Think about it and if you feel one of them is good then stick by that otherwise neither of them are ever going to be acceptable for you.

gotta say cancer it kills so many and yet no cure that or aids if something else i dont know
more people die in the world from diarrheal diseases. after that it's cancer. the only diseases that freak me out are parasitic diseases (not because they are so bad, but because, well, ewwww), and i don't believe in god, all diseases occur in nature.

Heart Disease and Cancer.
AIDS! its becoming rampant anyway! it kills you slowly, painfully, wretchedly!
in medical view i think its plaque
in my point of view its ignorance because all the diseases we have is because of ignorance and thinking we are always right
I have to agree with Wheezer. Stupidly is enormously common, a cause of great suffering and premature death. Large numbers of people do very stupid things, e.g. drinking, drugs, smoking, no seat belts, speeding, 'silly stunts', etc. Maybe the worst 'side effect' of all this stupidity is that often innocent victims are hurt more than the 'perpetrators'.Einstein said 'common sense is genius, because common sense is not very common'.Best wishes.
The true answer is viruses. This is not my opinion, it is pure fact. They kill more people than cancer and heart disease combined, simply because they kill so many people in third world countries, where the people do not suffer from heart disease because they dont have the junk food diet that us westerners have, or they dont live long enough to get cancer. Even in western countries they kill more people (think flu). Viruses are deadly, there are millions of different types and they are constantly mutating so hardly any sufficient treatment is available.

Even in western countries they kill more people (think flu). Viruses are deadly, there are millions of different types and they are constantly mutating so hardly any sufficient treatment is available.

which is the second best medicinal system thats recognized by WHO after allopathy?
Answers:
I am a doctor of osteopathic medicine, a D.O.. In the US we are legally equivalent to M.D.s or medical doctors. You can see D.O.s in all branches of medicine practicing side by side with M.D.s.I have found that you can not judge a physician by degree. There are good, better, best in all areas no matter where you went to medical school. What counts is how hard the physician works and studies and how much they care about the patient. I don't think there is a valid response to your question because not many professionals would consider themselves to be second best.
Homeopathy, I suppose.Good Luck
Chiropractic and osteopathic medicine - WHO even has guidelines.

which is the powerful sleeping tablet?
Answers:
I would suggest a natural way, work out 1 hour before dinner, have a good diet, and drink warm milk 15 minutes before you goto sleep, and put all your baggage in your mind in the living room before you enter your bedroom. practise some yoga ( meditation , deep breathing ). do not get close to this medicines or tablets, they are the worst things than what drugs, or alcholol can do. Keep Smiling:)
Reading Internet RFCs
Xanax bars.
TRUST me.
I've taken 'em before.
There illegal if there not prescribed to you.
But, it's true.
Xanax is pretty good.
potassium cyanide
sinus pills help me alot
And I always thought it was Dubya
avil 50
Valium root pills or Kava in pill form.
Phenobarbitone
Ambien. But for over the counter Sleepinol is good.
valium, dont try any xanax bars.
If your having trouble finding a sleeping pill that is powerful enough chances are there is something else wrong. Obviously stay away from caffine and inense exersice (excluding that one extra fun one) before sleep. Also try meditation, if you have issues with leaving work at work try imagining yourself in an all white room. It really works.

go without sleep for as long as possible. then you won't need a tablet
Which is the part of our body that has the thickest skin?
I thought it was the one from our back, but my classmates say is the one that covers the sole. Please help
Answers:
While the actual thickness of skin varies throughout the body, the thinnest skin (approximately 0.5mm) is found on the eyelids, and the thickest skin (approximately 4mm) is on the palms of your hands and the soles of your feet.
yeah on the feet
i think it is the palm of your feet
Our eyelids have the thinnest skin, the soles of our feet the thickest.
The Feet.
Because the foot is touching the ground. Thin skin would wear out with all the friction.Thick skin is present on the soles of the feet and the palms of the hands. It has a larger stratum corneum with a higher keratin content. Thick skin does not grow hair; its purpose is to help grip.
the only two areas of the body that are proven to have thick skin are the palms of your hand and the soles of your feet

WHICH is the origin of man AFRICA or ASIA?
The bible says in the garden of eden in rome in asia and scientists say Ghana in Africa. The bible is really really truthfull and almost everything originates from the histories in the bible. name it surgery-taking the bone out of adam into eve, scheduling- time for everything, even horrible things like being gay- a warning not to have sex with same sex that there is male and female for a reason. so this, should definitely not be ignored. I mean scientists are just like little kids asking questions that will only raise more and still never gets it.Besides, dont y'all think the asian color is the normal color and whites are the lighter form and blacks are the darker form?
Answers:
The Bible never explicitly says where the Garden of Eden was, but geographic hints in the text suggest somewhere in Southwest Asia (modern-day Iraq).This makes sense, since the first cities and the first human civilization started in that region (what the Greeks called Mesopotamia, the region between the Tigris and the Euphrates rivers).But, it appears that humans did not originate there. We only built our first cities there and our first state-level societies originated there.Scientists who study human origins have developed a strong case that modern humans first appeared in Eastern Africa. Why do they think this? The fossil record for early humans goes back much farther in Eastern Africa than anywhere else in the world: In fact, proto-human fossils can be found there that link with the common ancestor we share with Chimpanzees.As far as "normal color", please bear in mind that race has very little to do with skin color: Ethnic variation is more than skin deep: Anthropologists can tell the difference between a East Asian skull and an African one, or even a Native American tooth from a European one.Skin color is a superficial difference that has a simple explanation: The SUN. Human populations who have lived for thousands of years in regions with intense and direct sunlight have evolved more MELANIN, a sun-absorbing protein, in their skin. Melanin is like natural sunblock, and it makes your skin darker.Europeans are descended from nomadic tribes that wandered in some of the most sunless and desolate places on earth during the last Ice Age. Without sunlight penetrating the skin, the body cannot create Vitamin D. Without vitamins or fortified milk to drink, they literally became sick. Those with lighter skin had an advantage and the population very quickly lost much of the melanin in their bodies: They lost it in their skin (white skin), their hair (blonde or red hair), and even in their eyes (blue eyes are the result of very little melanin in the iris).Nature has not decreed a "normal" skin color. Evolution is relentlessly practical: The best skin color is the one that works best for the local environment.In our modern era of sunblock, indoor living, heavy clothing, and vitamin-enriched food, skin color has no meaning except to help indicate where most of your ancestors came from.A few words about the Bible: Surgery was performed by human beings THOUSANDS of years before the Bible was written. We know this because we find skeletons quite often with evidence of dental surgery, skull trepanning (drilling holes in the skull to relieve fluid pressure on the brain), and we also find other kinds of evidence of other surgical procedures.As far as "scheduling", just take a look at Stonehenge: This was built about 10,000 YEARS before the Bible was written and it is essentially a religious ceremonial site that also happens to be an accurate calendar (the ancient Celts were great astronomers and they sighted certain stars by means of those big stones and could therefore predict seasonal changes).I could go on and on, but I have to end by making a point about the gay thing: Yes, male and female exist for a reason and that reason has EVERYTHING to do with reproduction. So, when heterosexuals have sex while using birth control, they are also committing an unnatural act -- according to your logic. It is also "horrible" for a sterile woman or an infertile man to have sex with anyone.I think it is clear that YOU are the one "asking questions that will only raise more and still never gets it".
lol. Would you like to have a surgery done on you by a person who only learned from Bible? Or from a guy who took science classes?
archealogical findings put man in ethiopia, he then migrated through the middle east spreading into europe and towards asia, where they crossed the land bridge at the bering sea to get to north and south america. The garden of eden is expected to be the hanging gardens of Babylon, long lost in Iran and that general area.
Well, if it was intelligent man, I don't believe it was from the Americas.
God, God is the origin of man.
Depends where u think the middle east is located. In Africa, or Asia.
The bible doesn't say where the garden of Eden was but we think life started over, after the flood, on the European or Asian continent. The garden of Eden was in, what is now the state of Missouri. The alter Adam used for burnt offerings/sacrifices, is still there.
One must understand that bible did not land up in the hands of human beings by courier or by Fax. What you see today is the result of the gathering in Nicacia Rome under a king who united the religions of his time some where after 350 years after the death of christ.Bible was written and composed to suit the people an kings of that time. There are older civilizations than Christanity such as that of Egypt, Mohenjdaro Harappa,The Sumerians ,the Incas etc.
The global quest of mapping the gene sequences of every Human tribe of the world does point the finger to the fact that the oldest Humans started from somewhere in central African Region. They moved out from this region to other areas of the world.Based on the environmental status each race changed its structure and skin tones eye color and hair colors.
Beleive me thre is more to this human race than skin colors.
The scientific community tells us Africa. The Bible neither mentions Rome or Asia. It is not specific on that point. Many current Bible scholars place Eden in what is now Iraq. If you look at your globe, you will find that Iraq is not far from Africa. Besides, aren't we all like little kids asking questions?
Just to get things straight - things ("genetic mutations") do not "just happen," so to speak. Yes, they are random, but they occur in a chemical, and observed context. If you don't understand the actual, factual, observed chemical concepts behind genetic replication, then don't go around making assumptions about things you don't know about.Also, never stop asking questions. You might not like the answers, but not everything is the way you may want it to be in the world - its called reality.

Which is the only part of human body that doesn't grow from the second we are born? :)))))?
Answers:
the eye balls
if i recall it.it's a bone.inside your inner ear.sorry but i don't know it's english name..
Eyes
the eyes - but the ears and nose never stop growing
it's not the eyeballs (1st source,) so i'll say head-volume as a percentage of total volume. baby heads are disproportionately large, so from the second we are born, this ratio is not growing, it is shrinking.if you don't like that answer, how about this one: (2nd source)
a female is born with a finite number of eggs. from the moment she is born, this number will not grow.
Its the eyeball that does not grow with ur age!
Your eyes.
I don't see how anyone would say it's the eye. have you ever seen an infant up close? Do you REALLY think that those tiny little heads would hold an adult sized eye ball?
I don't know what the answer is, but i DONT think it's the eye ball.
in men its the penis and in women its the breasts
The discarded umbilical cord?
I'd say that for most people its the brain.
nothing every single thing grows.
uuummmm lets see your belly button
While the ears and nose continue to grow, the eyes remain the same size from birth on. That's why a baby's eyes look so large, and the eyes appear so much smaller (relative to the rest of the features) in the elderly.
someantha is correct
Well, technically speaking hair and nails never "grow" because they are made of dead cells. Otherwise everything gets bigger indicating growth. How many people do you know whose heads and eyes are EXACTLY the same size and shape as when they were born?
which is the most active organ in our body?
Answers:
brain
constant activity, gathering information, giving out commands . to every part of our body . . .quoting from wikipedia,
The human brain is believed to be the source of the conscious, cognitive mind. The mind is the set of cognitive processes related to perception, interpretation, imagination, and memories, of which a person may or may not be aware. Beyond cognitive functions, the brain regulates autonomic processes related to essential body functions such as respiration and heartbeat.Extended neocortical capacity allows humans some control over emotional behavior, but neural pathways between emotive centers of the brain stem and cerebral motor control areas are shorter than those connecting complex cognitive areas in the neocortex with incoming sensory information from the brain stem. Powerful emotional pathways can modulate spontaneous emotive expression regardless of attempts at cerebral self-control. Emotive stability in humans is associated with planning, experience, and an environment that is both stable and stimulating.%26gt;%26gt; no other organ is so damn complex, so so damn busy %26 yet so little understood !
the heart
Please clarify the use of the word Active.The brain or Heart would have to be up there in the top 3.
Brain, even active during sleep.
,i think it is the brain,
the heart
it begins to work even b4 we're born and will only stop once we die
The brain. However, if a brain dies and your heart still function you are still theoretically alive in medical terms.
This question is nonsense unless you indicate what you mean by active. Most organs function continuously at varying levels throughout our lives, in particular:-
Brain
Heart
Lungs
Guts
Kidneys
LiverIf you mean by the amount of energy used relative to mass then the brain is the most active, followed by the liver and the heart.The level of activity (however defined) varies enormously depending on what we are doing at the time:-
During a marathon race the heart, lungs and leg muscles would be very active whilst the guts would virtually stop as the blood is channelled to the actively-respiring organs.
After a heavy meal the guts and liver would be more active while the heart, lungs and limb muscles would be just ticking over.
Except for the Brain I would say the skin its the largest organ.
brain
i think the most active organ of ur body is Ur HEart.. Alwayz ticking .tick tick . tick. tick.. tick. even when u sleep it ticks.
its actually the brain. its not the heart, because in during every heartbeat, the heart gets about 0.5 seconds rest, so if u totalled the amount of work and rest of the heart , they would be proportionate. so the heart takes rest whereas the brain does not, it only slows down its work during sleep, but never takes rest.
Brain. You're giving me a headache with this question. My poor brain not only has to be a battery, but a processor as well.Second to that, my heart. It really can't miss a beat.When I was younger, there was another organ just as active. It competed with my brain. Fortunately it lost. Kinda, sort-of.So I'll call it for the brain. An amazing parallel processor, that is, for humans, still mis-underestimated.
Depends on what does "most active" mean, for you.
Mechanically: Heart starts pumping while we're still in uterus.
Goverment: Brain has to coordinate our body functions, all the time. Has to think for us. But he sleeps occasionally.
Creation: Our skin and mucous surfaces are regenerating all the time. They create new cells over, and over, and over again.
our brain is the most active in our bodies.
ofcourse heart. It is active for 24x7.
Your old fellow. ( the bloke down below).
Brain, heart,lungs,liver,skin,and kidney in that order.
brain first, heart nextThe brain requires a significant proportion of the oxygen we breath to survive. Proof of how active it is.
mine arn't always there but i would have to say brains tasty brraaaaiinnss.
the skin..it replaces itself and is always functioning just like other organs.
our heart and our liver

which is the largest cell in the body? and which is the longest cell int he body?
Answers:
Longest- nerve cell
Largest- ovum cell
Longest is The Nerve cell or the Neuron.
regarding largest i have no idea but maybe the egg cell ( the ovum)
The female sex cell, the oocyte, is about 35 microns in diameter, which puts it just on the edge of being visible if you have real good eyes.
The Nerve cell
They are somatomotoric and somatosensoric neuronal cells.
which is the difference between a ganglion and a lymph node?
as I have already received 4 answers and two of them speak about a lymph node I麓ll thank you to explain me the difference; because the doctor talked about a ganglion and not about a lymph node .
Answers:
Usually in anatomy a ganglion is nerve tissue, a lump of cells from which nerves originate (trigeminal ganglion, for example). A visible or palpable ganglion is not something you encounter regularly, in contrast with lymph nodes. If you are absolutely certain that it is indeed a nerve ganglion, you should further investigate its causes. Palpable nerve tissue may be seen in familial diseases like von Recklinghausen syndrome (neurofibromatosis) or other diseases like amyloidosis. Depending on location and size it may also be a benign nerve tissue tumor. All of these are very rare and I wouldn't worry about it. HOWEVER: some doctors use the term ganglion to refer to swollen lymph nodes (as in lymphatic ganglion, see page below). I also think that the term ganglion is used to refer to lymph nodes in other languages, i.e. french. The rough meaning of the word "ganglion" (greek) is "knot" which is appropriate for both nerve tissue (typical usage) and some times for other tissue types. In that sense, ganglion refers to how it looks/feels, not to what it actually is.Finally, there is another type of ganglion that occurs in joints. As an example, several people, typists, for example, have a wrist ganglion from overuse of the hands. I do believe that in this case the terms were used interchangeably and your doctor really meant lymph node. Typically, the above posters are correct, ganglion is (usually) nerve tissue and is not a lymph node.
ganglion is a small collection of nerves, sometimes the equivalent of a brain in some simpler organisms, a lymph node is a collection of lymph tissue filled with lymph fluid that is a required part of your immune system.
the above answer is correct
first answer is precise . thats enugh to get basic idea.
A ganglion is a collection of cell bodies outside of the brain and spinal cord and is part of the nervous system. A lymph node is a collection of connective tissue filled with white blood cells that acts as a filter of bacteria and other pathogens. It acts a little like a garbage collector and is part of the immune system.

which is the best treatment for Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF)?
Answers:
Familial Mediterranean fever
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
FMF redirects here. You may be looking for Funkmaster Flex.
Familial Mediterranean fever ICD-10 E85.0
ICD-9 277.3
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is a hereditary inflammatory disorder that affects groups of patients originating from around the Mediterranean Sea (hence its name). It is prominently present in the Armenian people (up to 1 in 7 affected), Sephardi Jews (and, to a much lesser extent, Ashkenazi Jews), people from Turkey, the Arab countries and Lebanon.Contents [hide]

Clinical symptoms
[edit]
Attacks
There are seven types of attacks. 90% of all patients have their first attack before they are 20 years old. All develop over 2-4 hours and last anytime between 6 hours and 4 days. Most attacks involve fever:Abdominal attacks, featuring abdominal pain affecting the whole abdomen with all signs of acute abdomen (e.g. appendicitis). They occur in 95% of all patients and may lead to unnecessary laparotomy. Incomplete attacks, with local tenderness and normal blood tests, have been reported.
Joint attacks, occurring in large joints, mainly of the legs. Usually, only one joint is affected. 75% of all FMF patients experience joint attacks.
Chest attacks with pleuritis (inflammation of the pleural lining) and pericarditis (inflammation of the pericardium). Pleuritis occurs in 40%, but pericarditis is rare.
Scrotal attacks due to inflammation of the tunica vaginalis. This occurs in up to 5% and may be mistaken for acute scrotum (i.e. testicular torsion)
Myalgia (rare in isolation)
Erysipeloid (a skin reaction on the legs, rare in isolation)
Fever without any symptoms (25%)
[edit]
Complications
AA-amyloidosis with renal failure is a complication and may develop without overt crises. AA (amyloid protein) is produced in very large quantities during attacks and at a low rate between them, and accumulates mainly in the kidney, as well as the heart, spleen, gastrointestinal tract and the thyroid.There appears to be an increase in the risk for developing particular vasculitis-related diseases (e.g. Henoch-Schoenlein purpura), spondylarthropathy, prolonged arthritis of certain joints and protracted myalgia.[edit]
Diagnosis
The diagnosis is clinically made on the basis of the history of typical attacks, especially in patients from the ethnic groups in which FMF is more highly prevalent. An acute phase response is present during attacks, with high C-reactive protein levels, an elevated white blood cell count and other markers of inflammation. In patients with a long history of attacks, monitoring the renal function is of importance in predicting chronic renal failure.A genetic test is also available now that the disease has been linked to mutations in the MEFV gene. Sequencing of exons 2, 3, 5, and 10 of this gene detects an estimated 97% of all known mutations.[edit]
Disease mechanism
[edit]
Pathophysiology
Virtually all cases are due to a mutation in the MEFV gene, which codes for a protein called pyrin or marenostenin. This was discovered in 1997 by two different groups. Various mutations of this gene lead to FMF, although some mutations cause a more severe picture than others. Mutations occur in exons 2, 3, 5 and 10.The function of pyrin has not been completely elucidated, but it appears to be a suppressor of the activation of caspase 1, the enzyme that stimulates production of interleukin 1尾, a cytokine central to the process of inflammation. It is not conclusively known what exactly sets off the attacks, and why overproduction of IL-1 would lead to particular symptoms in particular organs (e.g. joints or the peritoneal cavity).[edit]
Genetics
The MEFV gene is located on the chromosome 16 (16p13). The disease inherits in an autosomal recessive fashion. Therefore, two asymptomatic carrier parents have a 25% chance of a child with the disorder. FMF patients who marry a carrier or another FMF patient have a 50% and 100% chance, respectively, in having a child with FMF.[edit]
Treatment
Attacks are self-limiting, and require analgesia and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (such as diclofenac).Since the 1970s, colchicine, a drug otherwise mainly used in gout, has been shown to decrease attack frequency in FMF patients. The exact way in which colchicine suppresses attacks is unclear. While this agent is not without side-effects (such as abdominal pain and muscle pains), it may markedly improve quality of life in patients. The dosage is typically 1-2 mg a day. Development of amyloidosis is delayed with colchicine treatment. Interferon is being studied as a therapeutic modality.

I really am not sure but here at the medical center in Houston Texas, there is Baylor college of medicine that is worth looking into.I hear it is pretty good.
for a basic medical education at relatively low cost: University of Puerto Rico Medical Sciences Campus, if you can get in.
Harvard. Looks best on a diploma too.
It depends on what you want to be, first professional or specialty.
The medical school where you are accepted. US News and World Report and all of the other rankings are nice, but they are based mainly on research dollars etc. They say nothing about the quality of your medical education. Remember this equation P=MD. Good luck.

which is the best field in medicine?
any field regading heart,eye .etc
among that which is the best?
Answers:
Depends on what category you're looking at:excitement: ER or trauma (downside: stress and burnout!)money: Ophthalmology (downside: you only know about eyes!)job security: Primary care (downside: you just don't get paid enough to listen to drug addicts and hypochondriacs)family life: dermatology (downside: how many wrinkles and zits do you really want to see in your lifetime?)
Are you thinking of Medical school or something??
I would say the blood. Cool things happen in pathology.
Trauma or Emergency Medicine. That's the real stuff.
my opinion? i think it's cardiology cause it deals and helps a lot of people with all heart problems. but i guess the hardest one is oncology since they deal with cancers.
I'd say Psychiatry. You would not believe the number of troubled people in our society. You may not see the problems but many many people are unhappy and suffer considerably as well as affecting those around them.
It depends on your personality. I have a short attention span and get bored easily, so Emergency Medicine works great for me.always something new flying at me. I'd be a terrible retina surgeon.I have friends who like to take one problem at a time and keep working on it until they get it perfect--they make great Cardiologists, but would be disasters in the ER.
maybe there is none is best for medicine

Which is the best early indicator for diabetic nephropathy?
A 25-year-old man has had type 1 diabetes mellitus for 5 years. His physician is concerned about the possibility of permanent renal damage. Which is the best early indicator for diabetic nephropathy?
Answers:
Albuminuria
tingling sensation,
progressive blinding
Hightened response to insulin ie same insulin dose increases hypoglycemic effect,and Serum creatinine exceeding 2mgs/dl.
Symptoms
Throughout its early course, diabetic nephropathy has no symptoms. Symptoms develop in late stages and may be a result of excretion of high amounts of protein in the urine or due to renal failure:
swelling -- usually around the eyes in the mornings; later, general body swelling may result
foamy appearance or excessive frothing of the urine
unintentional weight gain (from fluid accumulation)
swelling of the legs, poor appetite, nausea and vomiting, general ill feeling, fatigue, headache, frequent hiccups and generalized itching.
The first laboratory abnormality is a positive microalbuminuria test. Most often, the diagnosis is suspected when a routine urinalysis of a person with diabetes shows too much protein in the urine (proteinuria). The urinalysis may also show glucose in the urine, especially if blood glucose is poorly controlled. Serum creatinine and BUN may increase as kidney damage progresses.
Please see the webpages for more details on Diabetic Nephropathy.

which is the best book for human physiology?
Answers:
have u tried guyton? i found it simple and ez to understand or u an try MOsby's.some say its good
The most highly regarded book in the field is definitely Gray's Anatomy.
Principles of Anatomy and Physiology Toratora and someone else. Good explanations and lots of pictures.
instead of giving a list of books i've found this site more useful.
visit:
www.alibris.com/search/search..
Anatomy books
have u tried studying from GUYTON,its easy and has lot of info
Best and Taylor, if you ask for the best book and for you regular usuage ganong
GUYTON's Human Physiology is good.. its reader friendly..
try the other one its Lange's i think.. its nice too
Gray's anatomy is not physiology.If you want the most straightforward, clearly explained one I'd definetly go for Berne and Levy's (which is the same one referred to as Mosby up there which is the publisher)If you want the most complete one, Guyton, but it's too extensive to read easily.
I would say Guyton (rather simple). I have tried other local books (Romanian) and they don't match. Try reading from at least 2 books and find which one you like best. Try asking one of your teachers, they'll be happy to recommend one for you (the one they like best or the one they teach from).
i would recommend you to go for either GUYTONS PHYSIOLOGY
or
GANONGS PHYSIOLOGY
GUYTON's
Which is the best angiotensin II receptor blocker for hypertension?
Answers:
"Best" depends on side effects as much as anything - the various A-II-R blockers are similar, so preference may be based on insurance formulary, drug interactions with other medications you take and any side effects.
this amazing clinique hand cream works.
different docs use different "sartans". irbesartan and valsartan both work great and have been shown to be effective in trials. no definite data on which sartan's the best.
which is the best analgesic, paracetamol, ibuprofen or naproxen?
Answers:
Which is the best?.. Just for plain pain, paracetamol is advised as it achieves good effect with very less undesirable side effects. For pain associated with inflammations ibuprofen achieves better effect than naproxen. Without looking at their side effects, among the three ; IBUPROFEN gives best analgesic effect based on the fact that its potency is considerably high compared to paracetamol and naproxen.If analgesic is required simply to relieve pain as in headache , paracetamol is recommended to be used for analgesic purposes. Paracetamol basically contain ingredients for pain relieving purposes and for lowering temperatures (antipyretics) with less side effects.Both ibuprofen and naproxen are classified as non-steroidal anti inflammatory drugs. Both also contain elements with analgesic actions. If the origin of pain is associated with inflammation then it is with advantage to give either of the two. If the pain is a bit high then ibuprofen can give better result , if the pain is just mild to moderate then naproxen can be given.
Depends on the type of pain and if you have any contra-indications for any of them.
Paracetamol. Almost no side effects.
when i have bed pain i take two paracetamol and two ibuprofen. one blocks pain messages and the other is an anti inflammatory. they do not react with each other and it is effective for pain relief
depends what type of pain. each has one it works best for
Ibuprofen
paracetamol also known in the U.S. as acethaminophen (tylenol) is not irritating to the stomach hence widely accepted by hospitals. The downside is it does not have anti-inflammatory properties that ibuprofen and naproxen has which are commonly used to treat arthritis (taken with meals to minimize stomach upset)

Which is more harmful to the brain and body, marijuana or alcohol?
Answers:
Both can cause damage to the brain with heavy use over long periods of time, although it's much, much worse with alcohol. Prolonged alcohol abuse will also damage the liver, while heavy marijuana smoking can cause forms of lung damage also caused by cigarette smoking. So irresponsible use of either carries some health risk.But it's very clear that alcohol abuse is much more likely to cause severe, irreversible, often fatal health effects than even the heaviest use of marijuana. In theory, marijuana smoking could cause lung cancer in some people, but this is certainly very rare if it happens at all. In contrast, the number of people in the U.S. who develop dementing brain damage (sometimes called "wet brain") or fatal liver disease, as a direct pharmacological effect of years of heavy drinking, is in the thousands. Indirect damage (i.e. not pharmacological) to the user or others is also much more frequent with alcohol abuse than with pot smoking, given that alcohol is involved in approximately half of all motor vehicle fatalities, small aircraft crash deaths, drownings, fatal burn injuries, falls, homicides, suicides, and non-fatal injuries as well. Marijuana smoking may be associated with some number of fatal and nonfatal injuries, but that number is probably very small. As if all that didn't make for a vivid, persuasive comarison favorable to marijuana, its also certain that the amounts of social, psychological, and spiritual damage associated with alcohol vastly exceed those possibly linked to pot smoking. "Reefer Madness" turns out to have been just a bad movie, and I suspect that intelligent space aliens would be astounded to discover a supposedly rational society in which alcohol use is accepted and promoted while marijuana smokers fill up jail cells. I'm not suggesting, of course, that there aren't good reasons for discouraging irresponsible use of alcohol OR marijuana by anyone, and children and adolescents should, in my view, be discouraged from using them at all even if both were legal for adults.
alcohol, no body has ever smoked themselves to death in one night

Twiggy You might as well ask which is better to get shot in the head with a .357 or a .44 Magnunm. Both will take years off your life. I've heard all the arguements, I have freinds who have made a life of these abuses, believe me there is no difference. Both are really bad!
I would agree with the guy above who says that both are bad, but numerous studies have shown over and over that alcohol messes you up more and in more ways and for much longer than smoking weed (or eating it, or vaporizing it, or drinking it in a tincture, but I guess that one is both.)the funny thing is, many other studies have shown that certain types of alcohol consumed in moderate amounts can actually improve health be unrestricting blood flow, lowering bad cholesterol, etc. (of course, i am only really talking about a glass of red wine a day)overall, weed is much less harmful. both are bad, but weed is much less so. besides, you can grow your own weed much easier than making some homemade moonshine.
It is my belief that both marijuana and liquor are harmful to a person's body and brain.
Many people do not realize that marijuana contains other deadly chemical substances that have been environmentally acquired by the plant.
On several of my excursionary treks (explorations) around the globe I managed to witness the eradication process used to get rid of marijuana plantations. It seems that when the helicopters or duster type planes fly over these plantations they spray the marijuana with a chemical that is extremely related with the exfoliating agent such as that used in Vietnam. I hope that this will give you a broader view into the risks of drug use.
Another observation was that as soon as the dusters flew away the indigenous groundkeepers would take machetes in hand and run to the recently sprayed crops, chop them down and prepare them for packaging. By the time that it took the crop workers to begin the chopping (a vain attempt to save the crop) the six to seven foot tall marijuana plants would already be wilted and bowing into the ground. How fast this chemicals works is astounding. Can you imagine the 'wilting' within a user's body and mind.
As for liquor it is only hangovers, screw-ups, jail, penitentiary, memory lose, domestic violence, child abuse and an open door into drug abuse.
Geez Fella, you sure can pose a question. Jose
he man alcohol may be bad after prolonged periods but MJ is good for the brain and body because there is a receptor in the brain called the dopamine receptor it only reacts with dope or MJ while when it is working it allows you to think much clearer and better it makes you smarter but if you overload it then thats when it becomes bad
Both. Alcohol can diffuse through the cells even the blood brain barrier. for marijuana it affects the neurons
Most of the people answering your question have no idea what theyre talking about. So, heres the truth. Alcohol destroys your brain cells, hurts your liver, and may cause other damages to your body.Marijuana on the other hand, does not harm your brain at all. Someone else on here said it contains the chemical "dopamine". It doesnt. The chemical in marijuana that gets you high is called THC (TetraHydraCannabinol). When you eat or smoke pot, the THC goes into your system, travels to the brain, and once there, it connects with specials cells in your brain called Cannabinoid Receptors. It lands on the receptors and lightly coats them, which in effect sort of tickles them, releasing endorphins in your brain and getting you high. There is absolutely no damage caused to your brain by pot. The only damage you can do to yourself with pot is by smoking it. Because smoking anything isnt the best thing in the world. However, if you use a bong (water pipe) 50% of the carcinogens (cancer-causing chemicals) are removed from the smoke. So thats much safer. Also, if you get or build a vaporiser, which just releases the THC by heating the plant, but produces no smoke, its completely safe. If you eat it, again its completely safe.So to answer your question. Alcohol causes far more damage in general than does pot. Hope that helps you.Peace
duh! alcohol and to all those people saying both: smoke first then talk :) really try it!
which is more dangerous: "whipits" (ie nitrous oxide sans oxygen) or ecstasy?
We are very smart people having a debate and we need factual basis for argument.
Answers:
At this point, there seems to be evidence that ecstasy turns your brain into swiss cheese. Don't get me wrong, I love X just as much as the next person, but it just has to be said that taking too much E will turn you into an E-tard.Whippets, on the other hand, while being bad for your brain and lungs, aren't as dangerous or harmful. Just a fact.
computer cleaner or nitrous it all the same i
it kills
eh.. i dunno, i personally won't take any drug unless it's worth the effects, both good and bad, but check out this website, it has all the information on everything that affects your mind state, from scientific properties, to recipes, dangers, effects, and personal experiances from real people.there is no bullshit one-sided arguement on the site it just tells you straight upwww.erowid.comit might be .org though, i can't remember
G'day Josh C,Thank you for your question.Both can be dangerous. However, nitrous oxide is on the Hazardous Chemicals database and cause asphyxiation. It was used as an anaesthetic. It is also dangerous for skin and eyes.Regarding MDMA or ecstasy, acute dehydration is a risk among users who are highly physically active and forget to drink water, as the drug may mask one's normal sense of exhaustion and thirst. Also the opposite, "water intoxication," resulting in acute hyponatremia, has been reported as a consequence of use. Sometimes other potentially toxic chemicals such as PMA or methamphetamine alone or in combination with MDMA are added to ecstasy tablets. Long-term effects in humans are largely unknown and the subject of much controversy - particularly with regard to the risks of severe long-term depression as a result of a reduction in the natural production of serotonin.I have attached sources for your reference.Regards

Which is more common? Over acitve or under active thyroid?
Answers:
"In general we observe more cases of Hypothyroidism (Thryotoxicosis, Grave's disease) - qualittee"I'm afraid I'm going to have to correct you there Dr..Thyrotoxicos and Graves disease is a result of HYPERthyriodism not HYPOthyriod!To answer your question..hypothryriod (under-active, slow heart rate, metabalism) is more common and less serious than hyperthyriod. I should know as I had Graves (hyperthyriod)Here is a good link for you:
http://thyroid.about.com/
active
over.
My aunt had a thyroid problem, and as far as I know, her doctor told her that hers was common. she had over-active thyroid
overactive thyroid
Underactive thyroid and is the most common thyroid disorder.
I believe it has to be underactive d/t the amt of overweight people - and overactive do not stay that way long because of how bad they feel
over active
Underactive or Hypothyroidism is more common. This condition occurs due to reduced secretion of Thyroxine hormone which plays a pivotal role in our body metabolism. A blood panel test constituting T3,T4 %26 TSH will provide an accurate idea.Hypothyroidism is one of the main reasons for obesity. Many of the Type II diabetics also develop during ther course of the disease. Thyroxine supplemnt (oral) can help this cproblem whrn prescribed by a qualified physician.Hyperthyroidism is quite rare.
under
In general we observe more cases of Hypothyroidism (Thryotoxicosis, Grave's disease) because it also includes neonates and children. Overactive Thyroid gland (Hyperthyroidism) is almost unheard of in the younger age group. Some children are born with Thyroid deficiency and therefore have a stunted growth of mind and body called Cretinism. They are also included in the overall epidemiology of the disease. In adult population women suffer more from Thyroid disorders (both over active and underactive states) than their male counterparts. In clinical practise I have seen more patients of Hypothyroidism than the hyperactive state.
under active.
over active
By the number of people on replacement therapy, I would say under active.
under active thyroid.
what is a tyroid? my sister has an under-active tyroid
Under active thyroids are much more common than over active!
However, any kind of thyroid problem is far more common in a woman than a man!
Over active. I think. I had one, so I only hope it is. And to the person who said you only put weight on with under active, you are wrong. I put on a lot of weight taking th pills, and I am still trying to lose it. I could tell you the symptoms too, but not enough time.
If everbody had an over-active thyroid, productivity in the workplace would increase significantly. I see what your driving at.
hypothyroidism is much more common.
over active
under, that is the reason most people are over weight. not enough harmons are produced to keep the body burning the fat cells.
Which is mice always use for laboratory test?
Answers:
Mice are mammals, so share many similarities with humans, which makes the research more likely to be accurate when considering the effect on humans. Another important factor is the availability of information on the mouse genome. Since it has been fully mapped (in the same manner as the human genome), it is easier to make transgenic mice.Mice have short lifespans (not long to wait until they die), are easy to breed, require little space to house and are relatively cheap/easy to keep in terms of food. They don't require expensive environmental enrichment that a monkey would need; some bedding, tubing and some companions deals with most of a mouse's environmental needs.Mice have also been inbred for many years for scientific experiments and their lineage recorded. The inbreeding means that a certain lineage of laboratory mice are likely to have the same genetic makeup, making the tests more consistant (as the experimenter knows that the genetics are controlled and not influencing the difference in results).
i guess . their blood structure is the same like man's .
only guess
for their close resemblance with human beings in various aspect.
They volunteer. You get a medical, rent free apartment and food.
They are easy to breed and to handle. And they don't require an expensive diet.Other popular lab animals are:Chicken: it's easier to follow the embryo's development in an egg than inside the mother's body. And chicken are domesticated so they are easier to handle than wild birds.Zebra fish: transparent so the development of the organs can be easily be studied.Fruit flies: extremely easy to breed.But mice are mammals so they are more similar to humans than are chickens. Sometimes, when larger tissue samples are needed or when the small size of mice make them unrealistic as models for humans, larger animals such as rats, rabbits or pigs are used.
Rats and mice, the most commonly utilized vertebrate species, are used in large proportion because they are small, inexpensive, easy to handle and care for, and reproduction is imminent. Mice are considered the prime model of inherited human disease, are genetically tractable and share 99% of their genes with humans.
they're cheap and breed fast
which is life half time for testosterone in blood?
Answers:
Elimination half-life of endogenous testosterone is 10 to 100 minutes and is dependent on the amount of free testosterone in the plasma. Exogenous testosterone, such as testosterone cypionate (when injected intra-muscularly) has a half-life of approximately eight days.
About ten minutes.

Which is better : a bovine or a mechanical aortic heard valve?
I am in my mid 50's and I need one of the two.
Answers:
In general terms, there are two types of artificial valves available - mechanical valves made entirely from metal and pyrolytic carbon - or biological valves - made from animal tissues. Each has advantages and disadvantages with respect to durability (how long they will last) and risk of blood clots forming on the valve. The choice of which type to use should be made by you and your doctors taking the following into consideration: * Your age
* Other medical conditions
* Your preferences with regard to medications and the risk of reoperation
* Your lifestyle.MECHANICAL VALVESThere are a number of excellent mechanical prostheses available today. All perform equally well. The principle advantage of mechanical valves is their excellent durability. The valves available today simply do not wear out! Their main disadvantage is that blood has a tendency to clot on all mechanical valves. If this happens the valve will not function normally. Therefore, patients with these valves must take anticoagulants (blood thinners) for life. There is also a small but definite risk of blood clots causing stroke, even when taking anticoagulants. BIOLOGICAL VALVESThere are a variety of biological alternatives for mitral valve replacement. Most are made from pig aortic valves. Their key advantage is that they have a reduced risk of blood clots forming on the valve itself causing valve dysfunction or stroke. The key disadvantage of biological or tissue valves is that they have more limited durability as compared with mechanical valves. They will wear out given enough time. The rate at which they wear out, however, depends on the patient's age. A young boy might wear out such a valve in only a few years, while the same valve might last 10 years in a middle aged person, and even longer in a patient over the age of 70. Of course, as we grow older we expect that we will not need the valve for as many years as our life expectancy is less. The general consensus is that a tissue valve will not need to be replaced if used in a patient over the age of 70 years. I think it depends on who has to get the surgery. Personally, I would go for the biological valve.
IDr Jarvick would recommend mechanical for durability. But for less rejection problems, go for bovine I say, if you fight infections well. Remember, you really have to LIVE with your decision.

which is best medicine for deibetic type 2?
Answers:
for most people, the best first line drug is glucophage. It doees very well in controlling blood sugar and my caue somne weight loss as well. some people cant take it because it makes them nauseated or the diabets has allready wrecked their kidneys. Avandia and Actos are also very good meds if u have the money or inurance to buy them. I put all my dm patients on glucophage first if there are no contraindications.
Diabetes is a very complex disorder. Type 2 is the better of the 2 to have cause you don't need insulin shots. This type may be controlled by diet and exercise intead of meds. There are several types of meds for several different thing. Your doctor cal tell you which would be better for your diabetes. Although sometimes it is a trial and error until you find out which one works best for you.
There are a lot of different reasons for someone to develop Diabetes Type 2. Sometimes all someone needs to do is watch what they eat and/or lose weight. Some people need to take insulin, and some people need to take a medicine that stimulates uptake of glucose from their blood into cells. It really is important to talk to a doctor to determine what is specifically best for you.
the absolute best medicine is diet, exercise and a healthy lifestyle. Losing weight is a huge benefit for Type 2 patients.

Which is addicting, cocaine or dopamine?
Answers:
Absolutely 100% the dopamine, if you are meaning the natural kind.Cocaine releases dopamine (a natural neurotransmitter of pleasure) in highly excessive amounts that just drives the receiving neurons crazy. This is called a 'high'.These receiving neurons have little receptors on their skin that receive the dopamine rush, and over time, with more rushes, they let most of those receptors die off so that the neuron isn't fried every time cocaine hits the system.When a person is not taking cocaine, even when dopamine levels are at naturally occurring high levels, not enough dopamine is being absorbed because those receptors were killed off to protect the neuron.The lack of dopamine being absorbed by receiving neurons is what causes the urge for a hit of cocaine.The progressive loss of receptors is also the reason it takes more and more cocaine to achieve a 'high'.The idea that both are needed for an addiction is false as well, you just need something. A perosn addicted to cocaine can easily stop using it if they start some other drug that causes a dopamine release. This is called 'addiction exchange'.
COCAINE, FOR SURE.
just a guess here, but BOTH!
Both.
both can be. anything can be addictive if not used in moderation.
The word is "addictive"And the answer is cocaine, because you can not become addicted to a substance your body creates.
Cocaine ofcourse. Cocaine is by far the more severe of the two in terms of addiction. [see link below]
Hi oversea's, They both are addicting. Clowmy
Any chemical substance ending in "ine" is addictive.Caffeine
Nicotine
Cocaine
Dopamine
Mescaline
Morphine
Methamphetamine
CodeineNeed I go on?Both are addictive but ,Cocaine is an antagonist of dopamine, hence the high.A new theory to combat drug addition seems to be making progress lately. Substituted synthetic drugs, which mimic the effects of hard core drugs but stimulate the mind and trick it into thinking it has covered the need for a fix. There have been several such drugs in the past, but the newest drugs using this battle tactic on the war on drugs are blazing a trail in innovative medicine. It could be another big win for the pharmaceutical industry as well. Sales of such drugs are predicted to skyrocket in the future as the war on drugs continues. One such drug, a new vaccine could treat problems with drug abuse, as clinical trials are almost complete in Europe. Cantab Pharmaceuticals has the product they call Xenova.http://www.xenova.co.uk/Originally this product was produced by ImmuLogic a start-up in Waltham, MA, which sold their rights to the drug. The FDA seems to have a little tougher time going for approval than our across the pond counter part agencies. In the United States the new technologies and sensors are helping authorities find more and more drug smugglers and the crack down on gangs is helping catch more dealers and users. As these folks are caught, rehabilitation for drug users will become of even greater concern as the rehab success rates are in the low 20 percentiles.The concept behind Xenova is interesting and it takes the new theory of replacement synthetic drugs one step further. The vaccine is to overcome the fact that cocaine molecules are too small to be recognized by the immune system, so it couples a slightly modified form of the drug to a protein. The protein is called Cholera toxin-b sub unit. This is registered by the immune system as a foreign substance.http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/370663.and many top clinics and researchers are giving it the thumbs up, while some critics are quite alarmed at its possible widespread use in the near future and some in the scientific community are skeptical, but others think this solution makes quite a bit of sense;http://www.yale.edu/opa/v28.n24/story1.h. .http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/200. .It is thought that the same drug may work on any “ine” drugs as well such as; Caffeine, nicotine and morphine addictions. If not such a methodology appears to have no scientific end to it and perhaps we could rid all humans of drug abuse problems. The future looks bright for such pharmaceuticals in the future, we shall see how well this works.
cocaine is an opioid derivative which causes increase in dopamine release which is a neurotransmitter that causes increase in mental and physical activity -temporary of course- cocaine is addictive cause its repeated use lead to adaptation of the body receptors which need larger and larger doses and etc.
Cocaine
It isn't an either/or situation. They work together.Cocaine is a dopamine transporter blocker that competitively inhibits dopamine uptake to increase the lifetime of dopamine and results in an overabundance of dopamine (an increase of up to 150%) in the brain. Like cocaine, amphetamines increase the concentration of dopamine in the synaptic gap, but by a different mechanism. Amphetamines are similar in structure to dopamine, and so can enter the terminal button of the presynaptic neuron via its dopamine transporters as well as by diffusing through the neural membrane directly.
which has more important role in the advancement of bone age?Testosterone or Esterogen?
I mean the excess of which one causes higher bone age?
Answers:
I believe he answer to be estrogen. Post menopause when women are deficient in Estrogen, osteoporosis is much more prevelant. This is the cause of the controversy over Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) as supplemental Estrogen may cause cancer.
well.if i understand u right..i think u mean bone density.whick is affected by estrogen but its deffieciency not excess
Bone thickness (and quite possibly bone age) is more affected by testosterone. Why? Men have bigger bones. Enough said.
I believe estrogen. Because estrogen actually protects us from osteoporosis which is a condition which bones start to get more brittle because calcium stores start to decrease in bones. That happens when you get older. for females when they get older they start to produce less estrogen then they become more suspectible to osteoporosis.

Which has a greater influence on the risk of developing heart disease, total dietary fat or the type of fat.
eaten?
Answers:
Its the saturated fat that gets depodited in the arteries. We have two types of cholestrol - a good one and a bad one.
Not all the cholesterol in your blood comes from the cholesterol you eat. In fact, your liver knows how to make cholesterol and does so depending on your body's need for cholesterol based substances like hormones and bile. Some researchers have proven that blood cholesterol is fueled more by liver produced cholesterol than cholesterol from food
Type of Fat, HDLs are better than LDLs. All said and done the type of fat ultimately is determined by the diet.
type of fat definitely determines the risk of heart disease..there r hdl(high density lipids),ldl(low) and vldl(very low)..the most beneficial lipid is hdl as it is readily absorbed and doesnt contribute to cholestrol formation.but ldl and vldl do contribute..even pufa(poly unsaturated fatty acids) and mufa(mono unsaturated fatty acids) dont form cholestrol in blood..
type of fat.
heart disease is a complex disease, and it has many factors that predispose someone to this disease. the risks include diet, genetics, smoking, lifestyle, smoking, etc. As for diet, eating saturated fat has a greater influence in developing heart disease. Saturated fat includes chicken skin, animal fats/oils, etc. This as well as other factors increase a person's risk to developing heart disease.
This will come as a shocker to people because its not common sense but. Diet in respect to fat amount or type has no statistically measurable effect on risk of heart diseaseThe Women's Health Initiative Randomized Controlled Dietary Modification Trial Low-Fat Dietary Pattern and Risk of Cardiovascular Disease:resultsBy year 6, mean fat intake decreased by 8.2% of energy intake in the intervention vs the comparison group, with small decreases in saturated (2.9%), monounsaturated (3.3%), and polyunsaturated (1.5%) fat; increases occurred in intakes of vegetables/fruits (1.1 servings/d) and grains (0.5 serving/d). Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, diastolic blood pressure, and factor VIIc levels were significantly reduced by 3.55 mg/dL, 0.31 mm Hg, and 4.29%, respectively; levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose, and insulin did not significantly differ in the intervention vs comparison groups. The numbers who developed CHD, stroke, and CVD (annualized incidence rates) were 1000 (0.63%), 434 (0.28%), and 1357 (0.86%) in the intervention and 1549 (0.65%), 642 (0.27%), and 2088 (0.88%) in the comparison group. The diet had no significant effects on incidence of CHD (hazard ratio [HR], 0.97; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.90-1.06), stroke (HR, 1.02; 95% CI, 0.90-1.15), or CVD (HR, 0.98; 95% CI, 0.92-1.05). Excluding participants with baseline CVD (3.4%), the HRs (95% CIs) for CHD and stroke were 0.94 (0.86-1.02) and 1.02 (0.90-1.17), respectively. Trends toward greater reductions in CHD risk were observed in those with lower intakes of saturated fat or trans fat or higher intakes of vegetables/fruits.

Which Greek physician is known as the Father of Medicine?
Answers:
Hippocrates was a Greek physician born in 460 BC on the island of Cos, Greece. He became known as the founder of medicine and was regarded as the greatest physician of his time. He based his medical practice on observations and on the study of the human body. He held the belief that illness had a physical and a rational explanation. He rejected the views of his time that considered illness to be caused by superstitions and by possession of evil spirits and disfavor of the gods.Hippocrates held the belief that the body must be treated as a whole and not just a series of parts. He accurately described disease symptoms and was the first physician to accurately describe the symptoms of pneumonia, as well as epilepsy in children. He believed in the natural healing process of rest, a good diet, fresh air and cleanliness. He noted that there were individual differences in the severity of disease symptoms and that some individuals were better able to cope with their disease and illness than others. He was also the first physician that held the belief that thoughts, ideas, and feelings come from the brain and not the heart as others of him time believed.Hippocrates traveled throughout Greece practicing his medicine. He founded a medical school on the island of Cos, Greece and began teaching his ideas. He soon developed an Oath of Medical Ethics for physicians to follow. This Oath is taken by physicians today as they begin their medical practice. He died in 377 BC. Today Hippocrates is known as the "Father of Medicine".Designed by: Josephine Delvey
Hippocrates, hence the "Hippocratic Oath".

Which food is good for health- Veg or Non-Veg?
Some persons say that Non-Veg is not good for health.
Answers:
vegetarian food is the best food - both for you and for the sake of the animals :)
i'm a vegetarian and i'm much healthier and stronger than many of the non-vegetarians i know.
moreover i have the satisfaction of not contributing to the pain of the animals :)i'm posting a link down here under source - visit the website and read all good about vegetarianism. ohh yea.if possible.do watch the videos they have there :)
just fish food
well non veg isnt good for health of the animals. i would think as long as u get protein from an alternate source veg is ok..but an overall healthy diet would be non veg. your choice.
I don't think you can generally say which is healthier.
If you want to live as a Vegetarian you just have to be very careful and find out a lot which veggies contain which minerals etc so that you are not deficient in any of them.
I think lots of Vegetarians don't pay enough attention to that.
Most Non-Vegetarian definitely eat more meat than their body needs.
Its true that non-veg is not good for health..Numerous articles have been published to promote vegetarianism across the world.Not only to balance the ecological system,but also for the better health of human beings..So even I strongly believe that if you're a veggie then there are high chances of leading a healthy life.But given the amount of pesticides and other such chemicals used,one must be careful about the kind of food one should consume.
both da catogories of food is gud if u have a balance diet..veg is important coz..it contains lots of natural fibers..which necessary for ur body to grow..in evry way..non-veg..is important too..coz it contains a lot of vitamin d which enables resist many diseases..but too much of it is unhealthy coz when animals are slaughtered..they have an increase rate of adernal gland in then which causes..anxiety..n anger n frusturation..when we intake them in high quantity..they can cause an increase in our system too which can be a major cause of diseases..such as increase level of anxity..blood pressure.cholestrol..etc..howe. exercises..can help burn up n throw out the unwanted toxic waste..
most people..stick to veg ..coz of culture..becoz of that..u cud..alwayz substitute meat..with a lot os soybeans..coz they r rich in vitamin d..
humans are omnivorous (that means it can consume meat and vegetables). I think healties is a equilibrated diet without excesses from Vegs or Non-Vegs . there are some vitamins you can find in veggies but not in non-veggies or vitamins that exists in non-veggies and can't be found in veggies. So, decide yourself .
Both.
A balanced diet with adequate amount of calories and vitamins and minerals and carbohydrates and proteins and fat is a healthy diet.This can be achieved by both a vegetarian and a non-vegetarian diet.However, it is harder to achieve via a vegetarian diet, because of the lack of protein content in most vegetables. So a vegetarian diet, requires you to be extra careful. Its easier to maintain the balance in a non-vegetarian diet, as long as you dont over eat!!And someone claimed that hormones from the adrenal may cause increased levels in the blood. The claim is not true. There are very limited hormones which can be absorbed by the body via the GIT system. There is no worry there.And like mentioned above, humans are omnivorous. You have both sets of teeth - veg and non-veg. Use them! :)

which field make more money and which is better?:biotechnology or surgery(heart) or physician.?
which field make more money for me,and it is easier than others.
Answers:
Surgeons (let it heart or anything else) make more money compared to other two professions you have listed. None of the professions listed above are easy. You will spend many years in college along with plenty of time doing residency/post doctoral. Weather you should pursue surgery, biotechnology or just be a general physician depends on your personal interest and capacity.
a heart surgeon is a physician. They make alot of money, but also spend very hard years making no money and working 80 hours a week. This is after Medical School by the way. Ask yourself this "Do I want the responsibility of telling a family that their son is dead?" Because you will have that responsibility as a Doctor
Not to burst your bubble, but if you are asking which one is easier than the others, you shouldn't be in any of these fields.Being in medicine requires some kind of passion besides money, or you will come to hate your life very quickly (you will work all the time, and have no time to spend the money you do make).
http://www.studentdoc.com/endocrinology-.Take your choice (except for biotechnology which isn't the highest unless you clone cats for rich people or something strange.) and take your pick by your area.Why not plastic surgery. That's the one word for success. plastics.
Well, if you are looking for something easy, none of the above are, Although I would suggest biotechnology. In medicine, you are dealing with living people and their life is often in your hands especially as a heart surgeon. I would say don't go into the medical field for the money, do it because you want to or do it to help people.
No matter what field you choose, you'll make tons of money if you are willing to work hard, have the right attitude and (sadly) perhaps, ruthless in charging your patients
biotech can take shorter time to go through education. surgens are training till their 40s while most get their PhD by 28
