Ten major achievements in medicine in 2007
That just ended was a year of great achievements in the medical-scientific. One of the most important is also a significant turning point in the treatment of lung cancer. Lung cancer is one that causes more deaths each year because difficult to treat in advanced stages. The important factor concerns the discovery of early diagnosis: a blood test called LC Detect is able to provide a timely response in case of cancer, by measuring the level of a protein altered the value of which indicates the presence of lung cancer.
But let’s see what are the other important innovations that have affected the landscape of science and medicine last year:
- For those who hate needles and syringes, important steps have been taken in the field of medicines that can be inhaled, absorbed through the skin or to dissolve under the tongue. The patients of diabetes, for example, can take insulin via inhalation systems is that through the skin.
- Further developments in stem cell research have opened their borders to solve a myriad of genetic diseases and more. He managed to extract them from the amniotic fluid surrounding the fetus before birth, as well as the umbilical cord.
- A new birth control pill, Lybrel, was patented. This would be a low dose hormone pill, taken daily; every woman would avoid the inconvenience of the menstrual cycle, making it disappear for the duration of treatment.
- The development of a new instrument for cleaning the face, make it easier to get rid of unsightly points blacks and acne. The PPX, this is the name of the machine, works with laser technology, which frees permanently clogged pores and imperfections with just 10 treatments.
- Uterine cancer no longer passes unnoticed until it is too late. Symptoms have been identified for early diagnosis: pain in the groin; or perennial sense of satiety, minor bleeding, urge to urinate frequently.
- New inhibitory drugs would be able to block the progress of Alzheimer’s Alzheimer’s, rather than simply taking care of the symptoms, as they were before this important discovery. Thanks to this substance the brain plaques caused by the disease would be reduced by 30%.
- It was the year of liberation of the benefits of sun and vitamin D. Instead of talking about skin cancer due to prolonged unprotected exposure to sunlight, in 2007 there was talk of an important discovery: the benefits of vitamin D against ‘osteoporosis, the diabetes, colon cancer, and many types of sclerosis .
- Canadian researchers have discovered a possible solution for all forms of cancer, thanks to the molecule called DCA, which restore the body’s mitochondria correct, removing only the tumor cells, leaving intact the healthy ones.
- University in Cleveland has issued a patch that releases testosterone which has solved the sexual problems of women that have been tested. Women who showed disinterest in sex and difficulty achieving orgasm, in fact, have an average of 4 to 5 satisfactory relationships within a month after using the patch.
To become higher ricorresti to a plastic surgery?

After the news spread by some British researchers, according to which the women of short stature are more prone to develop liver diseases, perhaps some of them might be tempted to resort to surgery to increase his height. The dream, which so far perhaps many of them have tried to approach using heel and roll over, it would not seem so impossible now, given the advances in science and medicine in particular.
The expression of elongation of the limbs, traditionally used in cases of diseases such as congenital deformities or damage suffered as a result of accidents could be performed even for purely aesthetic reasons. But are we really sure you want to live my whole life with his legs bound together by a steel bar held by bolts just to earn a few inches more? The same Robert Rozbruch Director’s Institute for limb lengthening and reconstruction in New York is skeptical about the application of this type of intervention in the field of beauty and enhances its sensitive and difficult.
Rozbruch says that although 5-10% of patients undergoing this type of surgery do it for aesthetic reasons, it is an orthopedic surgery and not plastic surgery. E ‘therefore very different from a breast or a liposuction, and we should therefore be done only when there is a real need, in the case, for example, that short stature does not cause problems with physical and / or mentally to the patient. It is indeed quite an invasive, sensitive and painful issue that requires a long rehabilitation.
It should be remembered that the United States undergo this type of surgery is very painful for the wallet, the cost is estimated it at around $ 120,000, and the result certainly does not allow to reach a particularly high stature could donate only a few centimeters more.
15 curiosity about the male seed
A study conducted by the University of New York has shown that women having unprotected sex and therefore subject to ejaculate directly by the partners would be less depressed. As reported by NewScientist, the semen in the vagina would release hormones responsible for mood, such as testosterone, estrogen and others. These hormones are found in the blood of women up to several hours after intercourse. Obviously you do not want to rely on the elimination of a certain right profile, obtained through the use of condoms. It is certain that those who can, such as women seeking a pregnancy, will have the privilege of being in a good mood!
But there are other curiosities on the male seed, which is certainly not all, know. Here’s a detailed list:
- The male sperm is nutritious, containing only sugar, protein, zinc and phosphate.
- The practice of fellatio may make pregnancy safer, since the body of the woman begins to recognize the substance with which it will be fertilized.
- Some women may be allergic to the male seed and would trigger vaginal redness and irritation. These cases are rare, solvable (and this is the good news) with prolonged exposure to the orchard.
- According to Chinese medicine, the energy would build up inside the sexual organs and would be unleashed at the time of ejaculation, sperm then there would be the center of the essence or spirit (jing), that there are developed and accumulated.
- It seems that a diet of fruit and vegetables can make the tasteless bitter. Unlike coffee, tobacco and red meat would make it tackier.
- The sperm survives in the vagina from 3 to 24 hours and cervix up to 7 days.
- Many men believe that wearing underwear, especially too tight, can decrease the amount of sperm produced. In fact, apart from this factor, each man produces millions of sperm every day. From training to cell maturation spend about 72 days.
- The first technique for freezing sperm has been tested in 1950, thanks to a shell of glycerol and other components that would allow protection of the delicate reproductive cells.
- Each jet of semen can contain 40 million to 600 million sperm.
- Semen composition changes to adapt to different situations: at the time of ejaculation and viscous, almost like a gel and has a thicker composition, once in the vagina, to flow better, it becomes liquid.
- The frequent ejaculation, according to recent studies, reduces the chances for men to develop prostate cancer.
- In some cultures of New Guinea, the semen is a symbol of masculinity and virility, and many young men have to drink it during special rituals to become more mature and stronger.
- the color of semen is white but gray and yellow colors are also possible, in the case of red, however, there would be presence of blood in the semen and it is good advice should be
- Semen is designed for a hostile environment, thanks to a shell of glycerol, which protects the DNA inside.
