A New Model Of Understanding Chronic Pain & Depression May Offer Hope To Sufferers
"Chronic Pain Sensitization Syndrome" (CPSS) is a new medical concept that enables us to understand that when a person is suffering from both chronic pain and depression, the two conditions are likely not to be...
Since the discovery of Prontosil in 1932, sulfonamide antibiotics have been used to combat a wide spectrum of bacterial infections, from acne to chlamydia and pneumonia. However, their side effects can include serious neurological problems like nausea, headache, dizziness, hallucinations and...
We know the world through the sensory representations within our brain. Such "reconstruction" is performed through the electrical activation of neural cells, the code that contains the information that is constantly processed by the brain. If we wish to understand what are the rules followed by...
Teenagers are risk-takers - they're more likely than children or adults to experiment with illicit substances, have unprotected sex, and drive recklessly. But research shows that teenagers have the knowledge and ability to make competent decisions about risk, just like adults. So what explains...
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder has been in the news lately, thanks in large part to the HBO show Girls. Still, there’s many misconceptions in relation to what OCD actually is and how it manifests itself in people’s lives. OCD isn’t just … More »
Understanding OCD: It’s More Than Just Counting Or...
A report by the George Washington University School of Public Health and Health Services (SPHHS) and the RCHN Community Health Foundation offers the first-ever in-depth examination of health centers' role in access to family planning. The report finds that virtually all health centers furnish...
Researchers from Benaroya Research Institute at Virginia Mason (BRI) have found that proteins in the IL-6 signaling pathway may be leveraged as novel biomarkers of multiple sclerosis (MS) to gauge disease activity and as a target for new therapies. The research, which investigated how several...
Men lie, women lie, number's dont. PBS takes a look at the sheer ridiculousness of some numbers and then compares them against each other. Like how there are 7 billion humans... but 10 billion bats in the world. Or how humans weigh 287,000,000 tons total but one species of krill would weigh...
I am asking the community about torrent files/quality.
i prefer 1080p and 720p to transfer to my hard drive they always look and sound better , sometime a 1080p file is 10gb in size , sometime 3gb and same for 720 p
Is the better the size of the file better quality?
and sometimes they say 1080p...
It's the least understood organ in the human body: the brain, a massive network of electrically excitable neurons, all communicating with one another via receptors on their tree-like dendrites. Somehow these cells work together to enable great feats of human learning and memory. But how...
It's difficult to look at a modern bird and fossils of some theropod dinosaurs and not see a connection. It's equally difficult to imagine the changes in the Earth's crust that must have occurred in order to lift a marine fossil to a mountain top. The Earth is over 4.5 billion years old. The...
Researchers from IMIM, Hospital del Mar Medical Research Institute, have succeeded in determining the function of a new variant of enzyme IKKalpha (IKKα) to activate some of the genes taking part in the tumor progressions of colorectal cancer. In the future, this fact will make it possible to...
UC Davis cancer researchers have discovered significant differences in radiation-therapy response among patients with oropharyngeal cancer depending on whether they carry the human papillomavirus (HPV), a common sexually transmitted virus. The findings, published online in The Laryngoscope...
Recent evidence and new treatments for colonic diverticulitis that may help clinicians manage and treat the disease are summarized in a review in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal). Diverticular disease, in which sac-like protrusions form in the wall of the colon, is common in developed...
The genomic tumult within tumor cells has provided scientists at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard with clues to an entirely new class of genes that may serve as an Achilles' heel for many forms of cancer. As reported in the Aug. 17 issue of the journal...
Researchers in the biological sciences department in the Faculty of Science at the University of Calgary have revealed how white blood cells move to infection or inflammation in the body; findings which could help lead to developing drug therapies for immune system disorders. The research is...
Techniques used by researchers from the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory to analyze a simple marine worm and its resident bacteria could accelerate efforts to understand more complex microbial communities such as those found in humans. In a paper published in the Proceedings...
Researchers at the Hospital de Mar Research Institute (IMIM) have discovered that the protein LOXL2 has a function within the cell nucleus thus far unknown. They have also described a new chemical reaction of this protein on histone H3 that would be involved in gene silencing, one of which would...
