1. Using an ingredient commonly found in toothpaste, the
scientists believe they can spot danger areas in the arteries which point to a
future risk of blood clots.
They say it will allow patients to be targeted more
effectively, and current treatments to be dispensed to those who will benefit
most.
The technique involves injecting patients with sodium fluoride that has been tagged
with a tiny amount of radioactive tracer, which then binds to any unstable calcium in the
arteries.
2. Heart scans(CT Angios) may show who really needs statins.
3. Tumour tracers can
be identified through the simple blood test.
4. As per the British Journal of Urology International, the
average flaccid, pendulous penis is 9.16 cm (3.61 inches) in length; the average
erect penis is 13.12 cm (5.16 inches) long. The corresponding girth
measurements are 9.31 cm (3.66 inches) for a flaccid penis and 11.66 cm (4.59
inches) for an erect one.
5.Troponins presence
in the blood is the most specific for acute heart attack.
6. DNA ‘vaccine’
sterilizes mice, could lead to one-shot birth control.
Researchers have already created vaccines that trigger an
immune response in animals. This response produces antibodies that block
gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), required by all mammals to turn on the
pathways that spur egg or sperm development. But, like many human
immunizations, the vaccines rely on an immune response that eventually dwindles
away, forcing the use of booster shots every few years.
To overcome this problem, scientists took a different
approach to blocking GnRH. Rather than rely on animals’ immune systems to
create antibodies, they engineered a piece of DNA that—when packaged inside
inactive virus shells and injected into mice—turned their muscle cells into anti-GnRH antibody factories. Because
muscle cells are some of the longest lasting in the body, they continue to
churn out the antibodies for 10 or more years.
