The bandage that will heal the wound and dissolve in the skin

Scientists have developed antibacterial bandage that prevents skin from transmitting with rapid repair. It can be used for a long time and once it is applied it does not need to be replaced. It is biodegradable, which gradually gets in its skin. It is compiled by Moscow's National University of Science and Technology and Czech Republic's Brno University of Technology. Dressing not to be repeated The number of bacteria decreases sharply in 48 hours from the bandage Researcher Elizaveta says that the bandage is made from Polycaprolactone Nanofiber. Gentamicin is present in its fiber. This bandage gradually gets mixed in the skin. The number of bacteria decreases rapidly within 48 hours of use. Researchers say that antiseptic is usually used when the wound occurs, which also eliminates the spread of bacterial infections and also eliminates the bacteria that benefit the body. Patients suffer pain when the wound is repeated in the dressing.   2. Bandage can be used i...

Why we Eat More in Winter & How we Avoid Gaining Weight

According to studies, people do eat more during the winter months, and there are a few potential factors that may contribute to this increased hunger. Most people would agree that winter is the season for rich, hearty foods. Heavy, carb-laden dishes, sugary treats and creamy sauces are all staples of the cold weather diet. Many people also report being hungrier in winter, with stronger cravings and an increased urge to snack. Is this winter appetite all in our heads, or is there a reason why we may want to eat more in cold weather and what can we do to avoid overdoing it? The human body functions at an optimum temperature of 98.6 deg. Fahrenheit or 37 deg. Celsius. In winters the surrounding temperature is much lower than that, as a result of which our body, esp our limbs get very cold. The blood in our body has the function of providing nutrients and heat to the body. The body has its own mechanism to warm itself up when it senses that it's getting cold, i.e shiverin...

Smallest Organs of the body

What is the smallest organ that is part of the gross anatomy of the human body? 10. Kidney The kidneys, organs with several functions, serve essential regulatory roles in most animals, including vertebrates and some invertebrates. They are essential in the urinary system and also serve homeostatic functions such as the regulation of electrolytes, maintenance of acid-b ase balance, and regulation of blood pressure. They serve the body as a natural filter of the blood, and remove wastes which are diverted to the urinary bladder. The kidney is approximately 11–14 cm in length, 6 cm wide and 4 cm thick. 9. Spleen The spleen is an organ with important roles in regard to red blood cells and the immune system. In healthy adult humans, it is approximately 11 centimetres (4.3 in) in length. It usually weighs between 150 grams (5.3 oz) and 200 grams (7.1 oz) and lies beneath the 9th to the 12th thoracic ribs. 8. Cerebellum The cerebellum ( little brain) is an organ located ...

New Drugs Unleash Immune System to Attack Tumors

Lung, Skin, Kidney Tumors Shrink in Early-Stage Trials Two experimental drugs that recharge the body's immune system to seek out and attack tumors are showing promise for the treatment of certain advanced lung, skin, and kidney cancers. The drugs disable a molecular shield that tumors put up to block attacks from the immune system. In early-stage studies, the drugs shrank tumors in some people with certain types of lung, skin, and kidney cancers who had not been helped by other treatments. Researcher Julie Brahmer, MD, associate professor of oncology at Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center, tells WebMD that she is optimistic because "in some patients, tumors did not grow back even after treatment was stopped." "These patients had been through several types of therapy and were very ill," she says. It's too soon to say whether the drugs will extend lives and whether they are safe in the long run. A larger, longer study is planned to test that. But the early ...

Missing Teeth, Cavities Common in U.S.

Ethnicity, Income Are Significant Factors in Getting Proper Dental Care, CDC Says There are fewer cavities in the United States today than there were two decades ago, the CDC reports, but not every population group has shown the same amount of improvement. According to new estimates released today, at least 1 in 5 Americans has one or more untreated cavities, and the poorer you are, the more likely you are to be one of the untreated 20%, at least among adults. Non-Hispanic blacks and Mexican-Americans accounted for a large number of those not receiving care for their cavities, also known as dental caries. More than 60% of African-Americans had lost at least one tooth, compared to just under 50% of whites and Mexican-Americans. "Dental caries both untreated and treated and tooth loss are key indicators of oral health and are used to monitor oral health status in the United States and internationally," the authors write. The National Center for Health Stati...

Drinking Red Wine Is Good for Gut Bacteria

Moderate Intake of Some Red Wines May Improve Health, Study Shows Drinking a daily glass of red wine not only tastes good to many people, but it's also good for the bacteria lining your large intestine. A new Spanish study suggests that sipping about 9 ounces of Merlot or a low-alcohol red wine changed the mix of good and bad bacteria typically found in the colon in ways that can benefit your health. Bacteria may sound like a bad thing to have in your intestinal tract, but having a balanced mix of them actually helps to digest food, regulate immune function, and produce vitamin K (which plays a key role in helping the blood clot). Since the study results showed that Merlot and low-alcohol red wine had similar positive effects on intestinal bacteria, researchers suspect it's not due to the alcohol but to the polyphenol compounds found in the wine. Polyphenols are helpful plant-based compounds found in a variety of foods and beverages. Besides red grapes, many other fruits ...
