MediNews-April-2014.

1. A simple laboratory test to measure protein C a natural anti-blood-clotting substance that also reflects the level of inflammation in the body may offer a useful new indicator of the severity of illness and risk of death among critically ill patients. 2. Emerging evidence suggests many pregnant women are deficient in omega-3. 3. Flu shot may reduce risk of a major cardiac event and cardiac deaths. 4. Fainting after air travel may indicate pulmonary embolism. 5. Risk of Barrett's esophagus is increased in type 2 diabetic patients. 6. New MRI technique - time-resolved multi-frame acquisition to improve diagnosis of early coronary artery disease. 7. Use of Aspirn found to be associated with reduced risk of serous ovarian cancer. 8. Heart failure patients with prolonged QRS complexes in ECG could be helped by insertion of pacemaker. 9. Poor sleep in adolescents may increase risk of heart disease & insulin resistance. 10. Fish oil prevents weight loss and muscle wasting...

Medi Tit Bits-April-2014

1.what is the stipend payable to PG Medical students in A.P.?                                23, 24, 25K (1st, 2nd, 3rd yr) 2.What is  Latest Update on NEET-PG?  As per the latest information available, there was no final verdict. The hearing has been postponed to November 5th. Those who have filed the case are permitted to issue applications and conduct their own entrance exams but admission and other procedures will depend on final outcome of the case. NEET PG exams will be conducted as per the previous announcement without any question of cancellation or postponement as many would expect. 3.Who is  Donald Morton? great pioneer in  surgical oncology ,   changing the direction of cancer treatment by mapping the course of malignant melanoma with his identification of the sentinel lymph node and the development of cancer vaccines.

3D Printing and Nanosensor Technology for Early Stage Disease Detection.

integration of 3D printed components with nanosensor technology . The fabrication of 200µm width active flow micro-channels by 3D printing methods is an essential component that enables the examination of micro-litre quantities of bodily fluid in non-invasive diagnostic devices. By flexographically printing metal contacts onto 3D printed devices, we were able to subsequently integrate it with a nanosensor chip. it looks like this- what is the advantage of 3Dprinting? Using 3D printed polymers offers a straightforward, cost effective and rapid means towards the development of novel microfluidic devices, which can lead to inexpensive methods for screening disease biomarkers on larger scale @  cheapest cost.

3D PRINTABLE PROSTHETICS & CASTS...

$50 3D Printed limb ! 3D printing is touted by many as the next big technological shift that will radically change the society. with just 50$ we can make printable prosthetic limbs,that can beat 50000$ traditional prosthetics. Not only that, in ortho practise,revolution comes in gallops with invention of 3D printable cast. Lightweight 3D Printed Breathable Cast with Ultrasound therapy. custom printable , breathable, washable casts.  The casts would be created using 3D scans of the patient’s own limbs and printed out of plastic with some additional metal components to hold everything together. The cast can be removed when necessary without using a scary vibrating saw. The  cast can be integrated with pulsed ultrasound stimulation, a therapy that can be effective in accelerating the healing of some bone fractures.

Next-Gen Nanotech Breath Sensor Could Change How We Monitor Health

By smelling you we can diagnose your disease. its as simple as our nose identify various smells at a time. based on the same principles as the human nose, one sensor to measure all ~300 chemicals in the breath, and identify a chemical fingerprint based on previously programmed information. That is, during its developmental phase, the chemical sensor is being exposed to chemical combinations that indicate various disorders.  Researchers  says that there are approximately 1-5 chemicals per disorder, and that the sensor should be capable of identifying more than one disease at a time, similarly to how the human nose can identify more than one scent at a time. How the nano sensors works better than existing biomarker tests? For disease biomarkers such as cancer antigens, the ability to differentiate confidently between a zero result and a trace result is critical. Conventional biosensors produce a signal that is in proportion to the concentration of target molecules, so ...
New hope to fight atherosclerosis. one should know about a new molecule( glycosphingolipid, or GSL)  present in all cell membranes and plays active part in regulating cell growth and  cholesterol metabolism. "Current cholesterol-lowering medications tackle the problem on a single front -- either by blocking cholesterol synthesis or by preventing the body from absorbing too much of it. But the new find molecule that existed in humans,  D-PDMP appears to work by interfering with a constellation of genetic pathways that regulate fat metabolism on multiple fronts -- from the way cells derive and absorb cholesterol from food, to the way cholesterol is transported to tissues and organs and is then broken down by the liver and excreted from the body.

Influence the people.... but positively.

Influence the people.... but positively. you may show anger when you feel hurt.... to your body, to your mind and more explicitly to your ego! its our choice weather we show the emotions to others or not. controlling the emotions,restraining the reactions is the prime ingredient to peaceful life. First  we should analyse the situation, dissect the issue and then only we can form our conclusions. Before we act with our body or mind or tongue or with weapon... just pause few minutes Love the people....use the things....but not vice versa. this is the recipe of happiness.
