There was a recent car chase and when 911 was called, a drone flew after them. It gave a live feed to where the two people were, involved in the chase, and helped the police officers chase them down. Because not every officer travels to the crime scene, it allows the live feed to also be programed in the station so every officer is able to watch. Chula Vista chief of police says that the drones are not to replace the officers, it is to benefit them in long hard cases. Also, when a 911 caller is frazzled, a drone is sent out right away to the location to scope out what is really happening. They are also to see license plates farther away then an officer would in a police car. The chief of police is excited to use the drones more in the future and help protect officers by helping them make smarter decisions. Not only does it benefit police officers but it will help every form of first responders attack the situation properly and find what they are looking for. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - https://www.cnn.com/2019/04/12/us/california-drones-emergency-response/index.html

Drug-resistant fungus is sprouting worldwide, and it has health researchers worried https://globalnews.ca/news/5156201/fungus-health-drug-resistance/
There has been a drug resistance fungi that has been spreading itself since 2015. This fungi, Candida auris, can travel inside of a person's bloodstream and cause deadly infections. This outbreak started out in Spain. We used to be able to stop most bacteria and fungi with our natural immunities, but now we have used too many drugs and antibiotics to keep out the fungi. Doctors use anti-fungal medicine to treat fungi, but there are only three "families" of anti-fungal which we use, and C. auris is resistant to all three. This causes concern, for if we can't stop C. auris, we will have an epidemic on our hands.

Super fungus that kills nearly half its victims in 90 days has spread globally https://www.straitstimes.com/world/united-states/super-fungus-that-kills-nearly-half-its-victims-in-90-days-has-spread-globally
A Brooklyn man was recently hospitalized for a disease, and doctors discovered that is was a fungus of the name of Candida Auris, a new superbug that has recently spread globally. The man died within 90 days, and the fungus did not die along with the man, invading other portions of the room. The hospital workers had to remove parts of the tiles and the ceiling in order to neutralize it. Dr. Scott Lorin, the president of the hospital, said that "Everything was positive - the walls, the bed, the doors, the curtains, the phones, the sink, the whiteboard, the poles, the pump."
The disease preys on humans with weakened immune systems. Scientists claim that the reckless misuse of antibiotics is causing this new spread of superbugs and drug-resistant diseases.
Researchers 3D-print heart from human patient's cells Researchers provided a new technique that could possibly be used to heal hearts or engineer new ones. There has been a 3D print of a heart, using a patient's cells. This has been the first time that a heart has been successfully printed with all the correct cells, ventricles, and chambers. The process of printing this heart included a biopsy of fatty tissue that surrounds abdominal organs, such as the intestines, liver, etc. The cells in the tissue were then separated and reprogrammed to become stem cells. They were then processed into a personalized hydrogel. The heart they have made, is the size of a rabbit's heart, but the same technology can be used to create a bigger, human sized heart. This new medical advancement can be used to treat cardiovascular disease, for the need of a heart transplant. https://www.cnn.com/2019/04/15/health/3d-printed-heart-study/index.html

Scientists Develop Blood Test That Spots Tumor-Derived DNA in People With Early-Stage Cancers
Scientists at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center are trying to figure a non invasive way to detect early stages for cancers. They are doing this by testing small amounts of cancer-specific DNA in the blood. So far these test have been successful sowing that 138 people with early-stage colorectal, breast, lung and ovarian cancers. This was only half of the 276 people who were tested. The reason for it not becoming implimted as a test is as half of the tested fell under biomarkers.

A guy by the name of Rob Rein Reinhart. He has been working on the study of human memory. The human memory usually starts to decrease when the person is its late twenties early thirties. He has been trying to find a way to restore the persons memory. He did a study on a group of people from the age 20-70. He found out that if you use electrical current you can change the person memory. People around the age of 70 usually are not in the same rhythm as they were when they were 20, so changing a persons rhythm as they were when they had a good memory can help restore the memory.

They say if you make a plan you can die in a place you would prefer. 80% of people surveyed said they would like to die at home but only 20% actually do. This happens because they haven't made their end of life plan. Many people don't like to talk about death but all you would have to do is tell a few people and write it down somewhere.
Scientists print first 3D heart using patient's biological materials
A major medical breakthrough has taken place at Tel Aviv University in Israel. The very first 3D heart was printed using simply cells and other biological materials. Up until this moment, scientists have only been able to print simple tissues without blood vessels such as the exteriors of plants. Heart disease is the leading cause of death on both men and women in the United States. Many of these people require a heart transplant to recover properly but there's been a drastic decrease in donor heart availability. The 3D heart is now a possibly alternative option for saving lives. One of the main scientists on the case claimed other similar prints have been made but don't include certain elements such as blood vessels and cells. The heart still needs to be developed further but the teams findings have been published in Advanced Science.
Technology is changing the way you see a doctor, but is that good for your health?
Recently, the millennials have stated seeing the doctor can be a hassle for most people. An old application is becoming more popular in the United States. The app is called Push Doctor and it has a fee of $38. The app will allow you to video call and connect with a doctor. As of last year, the app treated 1,000 different conditions. However, doctors say it is healthier and safer to see a doctor in person. Poor connection can often lead to miscommunication as well.
Doctors Use Electrical Implant to Aid Brain-Damaged Woman Written: April 13, 2019 ----- Millions suffer from brain damage due to many different reasons. Some have served in a war, while others suffer from the affects of a car accident or a brain tumor. No matter the cause, doctors have been researching a way to heal the brain back to normalcy for years. Products have been made and tested, but nothing has ever worked. This week, a woman who was in a car accident almost two decades ago, received a brain implant. This implant had not been tested on anyone before her; this was the first "test" for the product. To the doctor's surprise, the woman has been much better than usual. She hasn't been nearly as tired, and her academic testing scores have sky rocketed. No, doctors can not promise this will be a solution for every person with brain damage, but it does give people hope. ----- https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/13/health/implant-brain-injury.html

Scientist in regenerative medicine could only print simple tissue with out the blood vessels. Heart disease has been one of the leading cause of death in both men and women in the US. Heart transplants are only available to end-stage heart failure. Having to deal with very few heart donors, they need to develop approaches to regenerate diseased hearts. The 3D heart is made with human cells patient-specific biological materials. People in the past have made 3D hearts but never had blood vessels or with cells. The 3D heart is the size of a rabbit. Fatty tissue was taken from patients. They need to do more work with the heart.

Detecting Dementia Early Posted March 22nd, 2019 Dr. Steven Chance from Oxford University believes he has found a way to find dementia earlier than normal. He uses a MRI scanner to find grayish material that has formed over the brain, but at a much higher power than normal. He uses a cortical disarray measurement (CDM) to analyze and collect information in order to make his diagnosis. It is believed to pick up traces of gray material years before dementia even begins. Chance says it is still hard to be able to find the material but this is way better than not having to go off of any information at all until it is too late. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/324765.php
The measles have made its way back into the U.S. and is spreading like wildfire. It is a highly contagious disease that came back and people aren't vaccinating. It is spreading due to people that are not vaccinated visiting other countries especially in the Middle East where religion prohibits vaccines. Once they are done with their trip they come back and spread to other people who are also not vaccinated. It has even made its way into Northeast Iowa, so, if you're not vaccinated you should get that done.

"Scientists spur some activity in brains of slaughtered pigs" April 17th, 2019 Researchers attained 32 dead pig brains. The brains had no activity or sensation so they are qualified as dead, but this may be more complex than they thought. Fours hours after the pigs were slaughtered, the researchers began to send a blood alternative through the brain. The brains of course did not come back to life but the scientists were looking to see if some simply activity could be restored after death. There are many advantages of these advancements. There is hope that this could restore brain function of stroke patients and help with the transfer of donor brains. There are still many questions on if there are bad side effects that go along with this treatment and it will not be used on humans anytime soon.

Super fungus that kills nearly half its victims in 90 days has spread globally
ReplyDeletehttps://www.straitstimes.com/world/united-states/super-fungus-that-kills-nearly-half-its-victims-in-90-days-has-spread-globally
A Brooklyn man was recently hospitalized for a disease, and doctors discovered that is was a fungus of the name of Candida Auris, a new superbug that has recently spread globally. The man died within 90 days, and the fungus did not die along with the man, invading other portions of the room. The hospital workers had to remove parts of the tiles and the ceiling in order to neutralize it. Dr. Scott Lorin, the president of the hospital, said that "Everything was positive - the walls, the bed, the doors, the curtains, the phones, the sink, the whiteboard, the poles, the pump."
The disease preys on humans with weakened immune systems. Scientists claim that the reckless misuse of antibiotics is causing this new spread of superbugs and drug-resistant diseases.
Researchers 3D-print heart from human patient's cells
ReplyDeleteResearchers provided a new technique that could possibly be used to heal hearts or engineer new ones. There has been a 3D print of a heart, using a patient's cells. This has been the first time that a heart has been successfully printed with all the correct cells, ventricles, and chambers. The process of printing this heart included a biopsy of fatty tissue that surrounds abdominal organs, such as the intestines, liver, etc. The cells in the tissue were then separated and reprogrammed to become stem cells. They were then processed into a personalized hydrogel. The heart they have made, is the size of a rabbit's heart, but the same technology can be used to create a bigger, human sized heart. This new medical advancement can be used to treat cardiovascular disease, for the need of a heart transplant.

More than 50% of American adults have some sort of heart disease. This means that the leading cause of death in the United States is cardiovascular. Because of this, the Centers of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) has granted the University of Nevada with $11 million for five years. The University of Nevada is developing a new research center just for studies on heart disease. The research will be connecting heart disease with other aspects of health and quality of life.
Scientists Develop Blood Test That Spots Tumor-Derived DNA in People With Early-Stage Cancers
ReplyDeleteScientists at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center are trying to figure a non invasive way to detect early stages for cancers. They are doing this by testing small amounts of cancer-specific DNA in the blood. So far these test have been successful sowing that 138 people with early-stage colorectal, breast, lung and ovarian cancers. This was only half of the 276 people who were tested. The reason for it not becoming implimted as a test is as half of the tested fell under biomarkers.

A guy by the name of Rob Rein Reinhart. He has been working on the study of human memory. The human memory usually starts to decrease when the person is its late twenties early thirties. He has been trying to find a way to restore the persons memory. He did a study on a group of people from the age 20-70. He found out that if you use electrical current you can change the person memory. People around the age of 70 usually are not in the same rhythm as they were when they were 20, so changing a persons rhythm as they were when they had a good memory can help restore the memory.

Only 58% of the people living on the island have been vaccinated against the disease. This is the largest measles break in Madagascar's history. So far the count of infected is at 115,000 according to AP. The number of deaths is 1,200 people already in the past seven months. Measles is a very contagious virus that spreads through air from coughing. It usually takes 10-14 days after exposure to see the measles.
Make a Plan
ReplyDeleteHospice CNY would like to remind people to make their plan for death around the age of 50. They say if you make a plan you can die in a place you would prefer. 80% of people surveyed said they would like to die at home but only 20% actually do. This happens because they haven't made their end of life plan. Many people don't like to talk about death but all you would have to do is tell a few people and write it down somewhere.

Scientists print first 3D heart using patient's biological materials
ReplyDeleteA major medical breakthrough has taken place at Tel Aviv University in Israel. The very first 3D heart was printed using simply cells and other biological materials. Up until this moment, scientists have only been able to print simple tissues without blood vessels such as the exteriors of plants. Heart disease is the leading cause of death on both men and women in the United States. Many of these people require a heart transplant to recover properly but there's been a drastic decrease in donor heart availability. The 3D heart is now a possibly alternative option for saving lives. One of the main scientists on the case claimed other similar prints have been made but don't include certain elements such as blood vessels and cells. The heart still needs to be developed further but the teams findings have been published in Advanced Science.

Millions suffer from brain damage due to many different reasons. Some have served in a war, while others suffer from the affects of a car accident or a brain tumor. No matter the cause, doctors have been researching a way to heal the brain back to normalcy for years. Products have been made and tested, but nothing has ever worked. This week, a woman who was in a car accident almost two decades ago, received a brain implant. This implant had not been tested on anyone before her; this was the first "test" for the product. To the doctor's surprise, the woman has been much better than usual. She hasn't been nearly as tired, and her academic testing scores have sky rocketed. No, doctors can not promise this will be a solution for every person with brain damage, but it does give people hope.

Scientist in regenerative medicine could only print simple tissue with out the blood vessels. Heart disease has been one of the leading cause of death in both men and women in the US. Heart transplants are only available to end-stage heart failure. Having to deal with very few heart donors, they need to develop approaches to regenerate diseased hearts. The 3D heart is made with human cells patient-specific biological materials. People in the past have made 3D hearts but never had blood vessels or with cells. The 3D heart is the size of a rabbit. Fatty tissue was taken from patients. They need to do more work with the heart.

Detecting Dementia Early
ReplyDeletePosted March 22nd, 2019
Dr. Steven Chance from Oxford University believes he has found a way to find dementia earlier than normal. He uses a MRI scanner to find grayish material that has formed over the brain, but at a much higher power than normal. He uses a cortical disarray measurement (CDM) to analyze and collect information in order to make his diagnosis. It is believed to pick up traces of gray material years before dementia even begins. Chance says it is still hard to be able to find the material but this is way better than not having to go off of any information at all until it is too late.

The measles have made its way back into the U.S. and is spreading like wildfire. It is a highly contagious disease that came back and people aren't vaccinating. It is spreading due to people that are not vaccinated visiting other countries especially in the Middle East where religion prohibits vaccines. Once they are done with their trip they come back and spread to other people who are also not vaccinated. It has even made its way into Northeast Iowa, so, if you're not vaccinated you should get that done.

"Scientists spur some activity in brains of slaughtered pigs"
ReplyDeleteApril 17th, 2019
Researchers attained 32 dead pig brains. The brains had no activity or sensation so they are qualified as dead, but this may be more complex than they thought. Fours hours after the pigs were slaughtered, the researchers began to send a blood alternative through the brain. The brains of course did not come back to life but the scientists were looking to see if some simply activity could be restored after death. There are many advantages of these advancements. There is hope that this could restore brain function of stroke patients and help with the transfer of donor brains. There are still many questions on if there are bad side effects that go along with this treatment and it will not be used on humans anytime soon.

Study identifies how enterococci bacteria cause antibiotic-resistant bloodstream infections
ReplyDeleteThe Massachusetts Ear and Eye Harvard Medical School has recently done a study on antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Bloodstream infections in hospitals have adapted and now some have become antibiotic-resistant. Bacteria acquired in hospitals are more likely to be anti-biotic resistant. Despite hospitals best efforts they can not contain this bacteria. For the study they used research done 30 years ago and compared it to now. They used DNA to compare the results and are looking for a new anti-biotic cure.
