The scientists discovered that these fruits can kill tumor carcinogen by using the drug EBC-46  is made from the seeds of the fruit of Blushwood plant (Hylandia Dockrillii). The fruit of this plant can kill many types of cancer very quickly. Even from 75 percent of cases, the cancer is known never be back.

Blushwood (pictured) is the plant where the cancer fighting berries are sourced. Scientists from an experimental drug produced by the seeds of the plant have been used to cure cancer tumors in pre clinical trials. (Picture from: http://dailym.ai/1pgPO0x)

Blushwood plant is a very rare that can only be grown in certain areas in the northern part of Australia. This invention is obtained from the results of the study for eight years by a group of scientists from QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute in Brisbane, Australia. The study was led by Dr. Glen Boyle.

The study led by Dr Glen Boyle (pictured) found a single injection of the drug EBC-46 led to rapid breakdown of a range of tumors which could be effective in human patients. (Picture from: http://dailym.ai/1pgPO0x)

EBC-46 is a compound extracted from the fruit of the Blushwood plant, and has so far been used in 300 animals, including cats, dogs and horses. No side effects, but that makes scientists are amazed how quickly compound these pieces work. Drugs of this fruit reacts in just five minutes and the tumor disappeared within a few days.

"This compound works by three basic ways to kill tumor cells directly, cutting off blood supply and also activates the immune system to clean up the mess left behind. The surprising thing for us and it was very rare to encounter is the speed of this happening," said Dr Boyle.

Dr Boyle hopes, the fruit compound is only used for tumors that can be accessed through direct injection. But this would not be an effective treatment for metastatic cancer types, therefore, be accompanied by chemotherapy and radiation treatment. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | DAILY MAIL]

Watching TV for too long can be fatal

Watching a movie or television episode once it has become an exciting hobby for many people. But you must be careful because a recent study in Japan found that watching television for too long can kill you.

Watching three hours of more television each day may increase the risk of early death. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/1gkWFaI)

18-year-long study involving more than 86,000 people revealed that they were sitting too long in a day watching television have a higher risk of dying from pulmonary embolism, which is a sudden blockage or blood clot in one of the arteries of the lungs.

According to the Mayo Clinic, in many cases of pulmonary embolism caused by blood clots that flow to the lungs, most of the foot, but occasionally from other parts of the body. Other health problems have been associated with sitting for too long, including obesity, heart disease, diabetes and some cancers.

According to this latest research, people who watch television more than five hours a day twice as likely to experience fatal pulmonary embolism than those who watch with a span of only 2.5 hours.

According to the study's lead author, Toru Shirakawa, who is also a public health researcher at Osaka University in Japan, we should not just sit there while watching television in a long time. Interspersed with marching in place or standing. Also, do not forget to drink to avoid dehydration.

In addition to the activity of watching television, playing computer games too long also calls associated with death from pulmonary embolism. The findings are presented at the annual congress of the European Society of Cardiology in London. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | TELEGRAPH]

The first 3D printing ribs implanted to human's chest

An Australian government research agency, CSIRO, in collaboration with the 3D printing technology company, Anatomics designed a titanium ribs to help cancer patients. The thing that makes it unique was for the first time a titanium ribs printed using a sophisticated 3D printing process, then implanted to human's chest cavity.

This image shows the front of 3-D printed titanium sternum and ribs. The sternum (the central piece) and the rib cages emanating from it, have been designed using precise scans to perfectly fit in the patient’s chest after he had sections removed. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/1ijw9Ay)

Quoting from the official news of CSIRO on Friday, September 11, 2015, explained that a 54-year-old Spanish man with cancer in the chest cavity and the ribs, known as the chest wall sarcoma-- must remove his sternum and a portion of his rib cage and replace it with an implant.

The composition of the ribs in the chest cavity has a complex geometric shape, so that the implant and a traditional flat plate mounted become loose over time. The surgical team, Dr José Aranda, Dr Marcelo Jimene and Dr Gonzalo Varela from Salamanca University Hospital, knew the surgery would be difficult due to the complicated geometries involved in the chest cavity to filed a 3D printed ribs implant.

Here’s how the 3D printed sternum and rib cage fit inside the patient’s body. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/1ijw9Ay)

According to Andrew Batty, CEO of Anatomics, who offers a solution with the use of 3D printing in metal. He said, "We want a 3D printing to the titanium implant because of the design, which is quite complicated. After consideration, Anatomics request assistance to the CSIRO's 3D printing facility, Lab 22 in Melbourne, Australia."

Lab 22 will print the artificial rib layer by layer using a 3D printer metals. The printing machines worth more than $1.3 million made by Arcam using the electron spray for mold making.

Alex Kingsbury from CSIRO's manufacturing team said, "The printer works by directing an electron beam at a bed of titanium powder in order to melt it. This process is then repeated, building the product up layer-by-layer until you have a complete implant.

Once complete, the breastbone (sternum) and ribs sent to Spain and implanted into the patient's chest cavity. Finally, surgery was successfully performed by physicians and patients reportedly discharged from the hospital 12 days later. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | CSIRO NEWS | EUREKALERT!]

EnChroma, a glasses for people with color blindness

We can see bright colors surrounding environment because our eyes have color receptors called cone cells. A healthy and normal eyes have cones that can capture the three primary pigment colors: red pigment, green and blue.

EnChroma glasses to help colour-blind people see colours. (PIcture from: http://bit.ly/1UagK0J)

For those who suffer from color blindness, one of the cone cells in the eye is not working properly, so they are not able to distinguish colors correctly. In most cases of color blindness, damage occurs to the red or green cone cells, causing the sufferer trouble distinguishing a variety of colors. In addition, in some cases the cone cells will capture the color spectrum overlap.

 

EnChroma, an eye lens company founded by an American surgeon creates glasses that are able to restore the function of the receptor cells of damaged eyes. The glasses have filters that can capture light spectrum overlap each other, pushing the "wedge" that makes the frequency of the light collide with each other. By using the glasses, those with color blindness can taste the beautiful range of colors around them through the EnChroma lens.

Right: City of Venice seen by the normal eye. Left: City of Venice seen by people with color blindness. Existing curve below shows the difference spectrum are both accepted by the cone cells. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/1fD1hIV)

However, Jay Neitz, an ophthalmologist and professor of ophthalmology at the University of Washington, warned that the EnChroma glasses can not cure the color blindness. Similar to the function of glasses to help patients with nearsightedness see better, EnChroma glasses only help people with color blindness to see and distinguish colors.. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | TECHNOLOGY VISTA]

Thanks to "Artificial Penis", this man get an erection without fantasy

A 43-year-old man who lost his genitals
to a chilldhood accident has been fitted
with a bionic penis that can mimic the 
function of the real organ. It may also
help with erection, which would make 
penetration during sex possible.
(Picture from: http://bit.ly/1PV2usg)

Finally after 37 years of living without a penis, a British man named Mohammed Abad can smiled happily after the doctors successfully installing an artificial penis against him.

He was lost his penis when the accident at the age of six years. He dragged as far as 180 meters. His penis was destroyed, was also one of the testes.

Three years ago, a team of doctors from the University College London set out to make the artificial penis to Abad. They grow a penis skin of the skin tissue on his chest.

Then, the doctors made a tube similar device and connected to the container containing a fluid and the activator button. The device was covered with skin that has been developed and implanted to him.

Inflation elation ... how Abad's 
new member will spring into action.  
(Picture from: http://bit.ly/1Jrwlrd)

If many men should stimulate the penis so that erection before intercourse, but not to Abad. He simply press a button if he will use his 20 cm inflatable penis. "When you are going to use, push the button. When finished using, push the button once again. The doctor has told me to keep practicing," he said as quoted by Science Alert on Wednesday, August 26, 2015.

Artificial penis that does not respond to sexual stimulation from a partner. However, the penis can still help Abad depositing sperm to his partner so that she can have a child.

A number of foreign media call the penis planted to Abad is a bionic penis. However, Elizabeth Kavaler, a urologist from Lenox Hill Hospital in New York said, "That's not a bionic penis. It is a penis implant. We've often do penile implants, but the difference, penile implants in the Abad's case was more complex because his penis is damaged."

Penile implants are very common in the United States. Approximately 53,000 people do so because of impotence due to trauma or surgery of the prostate. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | SCIENCEALERT]

A new drugs to prevent death from the nuclear radiation exposure

The number of bomb threats that could kill and injure many people give birth to a global desire to create medical countermeasures that can prevent damage to the body from exposure to radiation bomb.

In a research report published in the journal Laboratory Investigation, noted that scientists will be able to develop drugs that can protect a person from the impact of the explosion or exposure to nuclear radiation.

The study, led by Carla Kantara This may be done on a bunch of rats. They found that by injecting drug peptide TP508 in mice after exposure to radiation blast for 24 hours, can inhibit the damage that may occur in the digestive system of the mice-so, also delaying the time of his death.

Japanese police wearing chemical protection suits search for victims inside the 20 kilometer radius around the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Minamisoma, Fukushima prefecture, Japan, on April 15, 2011. A massive earthquake and ensuing tsunami on March 11 destroyed homes, killed thousands and caused a nuclear disaster. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/1KgErnd)

Exposure to nuclear radiation in high amounts cause any damage to the intestinal lining, resulting in a syndrome called the gastrointestinal, or GI. When exposed to the syndrome, intestinal trouble digesting the water, causing the body electrolyte imbalance, bacterial infections, intestinal leaking, sepsis, and even death.

With TP508, a drug that stimulates the repair of the skin, bone, and muscle tissue in the intestine of mice. Previously, the TP508 drug shown to improve healing of ulcer disease and fractures in humans. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | SCIENCEDAILY]

Fly catcher robot help to accelerate biomedical research

Researchers at Stanford University using the most advanced fly catcher robot in the world that has the potential to improve scientific insights about diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.

The use of robotics and computer viewing, and the cameras at high speed along with powerful sensors, the robot is able to handle and study the fruit fly with a speed and accuracy that is unprecedented before.

Fruit flies and humans share more than 50 percent of the genes known to influence human disease, making them important for genetic research.

"Historically fruit fly has become an important model for studying various biological processes and generate important early discoveries in the field of genetics and other fields," says Mark Schnitzer, an associate professor of biology and applied physics at Stanford University.

However, the increase in the scientific insights of the simple fruit fly is not easy to do because the brain is very little preparation they need a lot of time to study. "We see this situation and thinking, well, fruit flies offers many advantages, a strong genetic tools," he said.

"On the other hand there are still many people who are involved and working with advanced robot technology we should be able to change the situation and improve automation in the field," added Schnitzer.

Robot working releasing flies into the cup in the dark to ensure they do not fly. Then the suction needle guide infrared camera captures a fly. Researchers can then take the image and prepare it for further study. It all happened in a matter of seconds and without the need to deliver drugs to the flies.

"You can deal with the right flies without any anesthesia, which means that it really gives you a clean brain for study," says Stanford biologist flies, Cheng Huang. And brains were clean, according to Huang, bringing accurate study results.

"In flies there are many genes associated with human disease and there are a lot of fly-human models of disease and that means you can stimulate a lot of symptoms," he said as quoted by Reuters news agency.

The symptoms include symptoms of nerve degeneration diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's are now, thanks to robot flytrap, can be understood by researchers at a faster pace. Description of first experiments using robots was published in the journal Nature Methods. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | REUTERS]

Restore the World's color for the Blind

Since the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the production of a bionic eye since 2013, more and more people who had been blind now can regain their sight. And the first American-made bionic eye named 'Argus II Retinal Prosthesis System' that can restore partial sight to those who suffer from a degenerative eye disease, retinitis pigmentosa (RP).

The 80-year-old Raymond Flynn was the first to receive the implant for AMD treatment. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/1gbKRb2)

The Argus II bionic eye device built by Second Sight using a digital camera mounted on a pair of glasses that replace the actual eye. Later, the visual results received from the glasses that will be sent wirelessly to a tiny chip that is implanted in the eye. The chips were implanted it then activates electrodes that is placed in the eye's retina, stimulating the cell to transform the received data into vision.

The Argus II System is designed to stimulate a patient's remaining retinal cells, allowing them to obtain useful visual information. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/1gbKRb2)

However, the vision resulting from the bionic eye device does not necessarily restore a person with perfect vision. In a study report published in the journal Philosophical Transactions B, explained that the image obtained from the bionic eye in the form of a rough vision, with black and white and sharpness levels of 20/12.60 (healthy normal eye has a visual acuity level with a value of 20/20).

With a vision that is only black and white, the researchers developed a process optogenetik. With that process, later in the remaining retinal cells in the eyes of the patient will be inserted protein that is capable of making it more sensitive to the light (giving the color to the vision that they get later). *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | GIZMAG | TECHNOLOGY VISTA]

To avoid the prostate enlarged with Tomatoes consumption

Who never ate tomatoes. Almost all people in the world ever eat tomatoes. This fruit is often also used in seasoning is certainly very familiar to us. Even as the needs of people will need tomatoes are always high.

Tomatoes are rich in benefits. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/1VWjIK5)

But who would have thought that most fruit we consume every day has great benefits. The fruits are cheap, easily available and it's also delicious it is also rich in benefits. Perhaps many women who often use tomatoes as the beauty mask, or as relieving eye bags by putting sliced ​​tomatoes. But what about the men. What is gained when consumed tomatoes.

In one study, majority of the elderly man suffered the prostate enlarged. Although not so detrimental to health in general, but an prostate enlarged will interfere with daily activities. Then what is the relationship of the prostate with tomatoes. Yes, the tomato was able to take care of your prostate in order not to have an enlarged so that your daily activities are not overburdened.

The tomatoes contain lycopene. And lycopene is an antioxidant synthesis that found in certain plants. Lycopene often referred to as non-provitamin A carotenoids. Experts argue that lycopene is important enough to overcome certain diseases one of which is the prostate enlarged. This is what makes tomatoes became very important for the health of the lycopene therein.

So the tomato is not only good for beauty and women beneficial only. But it also men can enjoy the tomatoes benefits too? Therefore do not forget to consumed tomatoes. Healthy greetings to us all. Hope it is useful. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | VIVA.CO.ID]

US testing a new Vaccine for West Nile Virus

The US National Institutes of Health (NIH) has started testing a new vaccine designed to protect against West Nile virus. The virus, which is spread through mosquito bites, resulting in almost 100 deaths in the United States last year, and infected more than 2,200 other patients.

Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, which is part of the NIH, said West Nile virus has emerged as a serious health threat in the United States since the first appeared in the country in 1999.

Mosquitos are sorted at the Dallas County mosquito lab in Dallas, Texas, Aug. 16, 2012. U.S. Health officials say there's been an alarming increase in the number of West Nile cases. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/1NKD4f8)

The clinical trial will test the safety of the experimental vaccine and its ability to generate immunity. Fifty men and women will be healthy respondents, who were randomized to receive either a low dose of vaccine, a higher dose, or placebo.

NIH said the virus used to make the vaccine that is not active and can not cause West Nile virus infection. In studies in mice, the vaccine was effective to produce immunity that protects mice against deadly dose of the virus. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | VOA NEWS]

Scientists opposed the diseases with sweet potato

A program that helps small-scale farmers in Mozambique to plant sweet red potato rich in vitamin A, which has reduced the rate of cases of diarrhea in children 40 to 50 percent, according to a new study. The researchers say this is the first time a development program that focuses on agricultural production has helped improve health.

Diarrhea is the second highest cause of death for children under five, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Lack of vitamin A increase the risk of diarrhea and other serious infections. Approximately 190 million children of preschool age in the World do not get enough vitamin A.

Children are seen enjoying orange sweet potatoes. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/1HOhUgp)

For decades, health sector officials have been sending vitamin supplements to prevent the consequences of a lack of vitamin A. And the experts say it is effective but a temporary solution for a more fundamental problem: those affected do not have access to nutritious food necessary to stay healthy.

A kiosk promoting orange-fleshed sweet potatoes is seen in Mozambique. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/1HOhUgp)

"Efforts to increase the amount of vitamin A in foods consumed through the program will be more sustainable agriculture," said Alan de Brauw of the International Food Policy Research Institute, one of the authors of a new study published by the World Development journal.

And de Brauw's colleagues in agricultural research organization HarvestPlus launched a program in 2006 to introduce a sweet red potatoes to 24 villages in Mozambique, where nearly 70 percent of children are deficient in vitamin A.

Farmers have planted white or yellow potato varieties which lacks nutrients. While a red potatoes provide the supply of vitamin A for one day. For three years, villagers receive yams, training and education to grow the plants and the importance of vitamin A.

At the end of the study, researchers gave them a question about consumption of food and health, including whether their children get diarrhea recently.

Cases of children with diarrhea 40 percent lower in villages that planted sweet potatoes, compared to 12 other villages that have not been touched by the program. Among children under the age of 3 years, the difference is 50 percent.

"No one has ever shown that intervention in agricultural production can have an impact on health. So this is a great finding," says de Brauw.

The experts promote the idea that teaching farmers to plant more crops better is the best way to not only eradicate poverty and hunger, but also against the disease.

"This area of ​​research is very 'hot' right now," says nutrition expert and consultant Anna Herforth, who was not involved in the study. She said the study was "well designed to show the real connection between food production available to the public and they like and consume it, then it is good for health."

HarvestPlus make the same approach with other crops, including cassava that  containing high doses of vitamin A in Nigeria, then a type of iron-rich grain in India, rice with high zinc content in Bangladesh, and so forth. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | VOA NEWS]

Blood tests can reveal a person's history of viral infection

Every virus that has made people sick now can be detected through a drop of blood. A new test can tell doctors about a person's history of viral infection, something that can prevent the occurrence of serious diseases in the future.

A patient's finger is pricked for a blood test. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/1JxNNtv)

The new blood test called 'VirScan' has the potential to detect more than 1,000 types of viruses that can infect humans. According to Stephen Elledge, principal investigator of Brigham & Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School in Boston, said that the genetic tests, which only require a drop of blood, can show to the doctors whether patients are exposed to a dangerous virus.

For example, people can be infected with hepatitis C for many years that can destroy the liver, and leading to cancer.

"The types of infection with this virus, like HIV, can occur long before a patient feels there is a problem," said Elledge. "And at that moment, it would be much more dangerous."

Now, there is the treatment for hepatitis and life-saving therapy for HIV. By knowing whether someone is infected with a dangerous virus for many years before, said Elledge, a doctor can treat it early.

Elledge said that the VirScan allowed to see the health impact of the combined viruses. In addition, VirScan also be used to determine the root of the more difficult conditions, such as viruses which trigger autoimmunity diseases such as diabetes and lupus. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | VOA NEWS]

Scientists using biodegradable materials to heal broken bones

Scientists at the Swanson School of Engineering, University of Pittsburgh developed a biodegradable material or which can decompose naturally to help repair broken bones.

Although some broken bones can be fixed with a simple cast, fractures are more complicated, requiring metal screws, pins, blocks or plates to keep bones in place it should be.

According to Prashant Kumta, professor of bioengineering of the University of Pittsburgh, "With today's technology, if someone is having a severe fracture, whether as a result of war injuries such as in Iraq or Afghanistan or traffic accidents, surgeons had no other choice but to use synthetic materials, such as titanium, stainless steel or polymer material that can not decompose naturally."

This means it may be tied to such material in their lifetime. The material can be moved, but related operations can cause medical problems.

Kumta and his team of bachelor students seeks to avoid this problem by designing a material that is printed with a 3-D printer that is appropriate for the patient's body, and can be absorbed or released when new tissue growth and wound has healed.

In the laboratory, Kumta team has developed a mixture of magnesium and iron as the base material. He called magnesium, a mineral needed by the 300 biochemical reactions in the body, "the right partner" for such techniques.

"Mix it had mechanical character that matches the original bone, either of strength or density. The mixture had a density that is appropriate and in accordance with the original bone," he said.

Bone cells attach to 3-D-printed scaffolding. When bone completely heals the material will degrade. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/1KNYPfX)

Instead of using ink, 3-D printer belongs to them using a special binder on the tape. The computer sends instructions to mix droplets of glue with mineral powder. Portions were tailor made to suit the needs, layer after layer.

"We can create original bone as the missing bone from a patient," said Kumta.

Kumta team is also currently examining the calcium phosphate putty new formula that could be injected to fill the space between the bones were broken. Plate or screws were printed by the printer 3-D and can be broken down naturally will accommodate or resist the putty material.

"The plates will provide mechanical power needed to sustain the putty, and help the healing of bone and bone formation," he said.

Pre-clinical trials are being carried out on animals. Kumta say this is a revolutionary work, and offer better results for patients. "Instead of planting a screw or plate," he said, "a doctor can provide a method of healing the patient body's ability to regenerate." *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | VOA NEWS]

Turn out, the Ebola virus could also infect the eyes

The new report concerns Dr. Ian Crozier, a 43-year-old American physician diagnosed with Ebola in September while working with the World Health Organization in Kenema, Sierra Leone, has been declared cured of the disease due to the Ebola virus. He was treated at Emory University Hospital’s special Ebola unit in Atlanta and released in October when Ebola was no longer detected in his blood.

However, less than two months later, he developed an inflammation and very high blood pressure in his left eye, which causes swelling and potentially serious vision problems. After doing research back, the Ebola virus that does not exist. However, the virus occupies the doctor's left eye, and causing tremendous pain and his eye color turned from blue into greenish.

The researchers never suspected that the deadly virus could infect a human eyeball. Although the virus infect the left eye of Dr. Crozier, the researchers did not find the virus on the surface of the eyeball, also tears out of the infected eyes, it's indicating that the virus will not spreading the disease through eye contact.

A HIV test can be done independently at home

A new device that enables HIV testing can be done independentlyHIV self-test device for the first time allowed to be used in England, Scotland, and Wales. This tool allows one to perform the test at home and get results within 15 minutes.

In contrast to other devices, the test results do not need to be sent to the laboratory. This tool works by identifying a small drop of blood, which is often only discovered three months after infection.

The first home test for HIV is now for sale in the United Kingdom. What could makers of this product hope to acheive? (Picture from: http://bit.ly/1DzOhbx)

Humanitarian organizations expect these tools will reduce some of the 26,000 people in the UK whose HIV status is unknown. Early diagnosis allows a person deemed get immediate treatment and may prevent serious complications. People who successfully treated deemed less likely to infectious.

Test packs with the tag line "You can do it yourself" is made by the BioSure and can be purchased online. The way the device works the same as a pregnancy test, by measuring the levels of antibody-a protein made in reaction to the virus in a person's blood. These devices analyze tiny droplets of blood from a fingertip.

Two purple line will appear if a person is HIV positive. But experts warn, positive test results should be confirmed clinically. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | TECHTIMES]
