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.
