The Endocannabinoid System, A Physician`s Perspective
Most physicians are constantly learning not only for their benefit but, more importantly, for the benefit of their patients. It is not surprising therefore that there is considerable interest in the endocannabinoid system (ECS) as this system has only been recently recognized and appreciated. I think it is fair to say that over the last decade there has been more interest in the ECS than any ...

Pain and the Endocannabinoid System, A Physicians Perspective
The topic of pain and pain control is a very complex one with many different areas of concern and consideration. I will try to outline this complex topic as it applies to the endocannabinoid system. In my last article I briefly outlined this system and described it as an internal “buffer” the main function of which is to create homeostasis within our body. When considering the ...

Titanium but not just titanium
Titanium and its alloys have many advantages as surgical implant materials, such as low density, high strength, good toughness, good biocompatibility, non-toxicity, low elastic modulus, good corrosion resistance, and low X-ray absorption rate Etc., thus occupying an increasingly important position in medical metal materials. Titanium and its alloys can be used for the repair and replacement of ...

TrafficVision™ Case Study: Video Analytics Detection for KC SCOUT
Intelligent Expansion The Kansas City metropolitan area is internationally renowned: it has its own cool jazz, distinctive barbecue, and one of the highest levels of quality of life, as reported by its friendly citizens. Less well-known until recently is its reputation for progressive and forward-thinking traffic management, enhanced by the use of emerging technology. Not only is Kansas City a ...

LncRNA Sequencing Helps to Find Deep Links to Disease
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a class of RNAs that do not code for proteins and are typically greater than 200 nucleotides in length. Studies have shown that lncRNAs are quite complex in function and play an important role in various biological processes such as development, differentiation, proliferation, metastasis, apoptosis, stem cell pluripotency, and DNA damage. Therefore, those ...

The Link Between Smoking and Cognitive Decline
By now, you are likely aware of many of the well-established risks associated with smoking cigarettes, such as cancer, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and stroke. But did you know that research has discovered a link between smoking and cognitive decline? This research emphasizes the importance of identifying and controlling modifiable risk ...

Clinical implementation of the Humacyte human acellular vessel: Implications for military and civilian trauma care
ABSTRACT: The incidence of wartime vascular injury has increased and is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity. While ligation remains an option, current resuscitation and damage control techniques have resulted in vascular repair being pursued in more than half of wartime injuries. Options for vascular reconstruction are currently limited to autologous vein or synthetic conduits, choices ...

Keep Your Heart Healthy During the Holidays!
As we prepare for this holiday season, with an extra dose of joy and elation, please keep in mind what overindulgence can do to your heart health, even in a relatively short period of time. You shouldn’t be surprised to learn that during the holiday season, when we not only tend to overindulge the most but also stress levels are typically the highest, there is a 33% increase in heart ...

Mitochondrial Proteomics
Mitochondria are important organelles of eukaryotic cells and play a key role in the regulation of cellular energy metabolism, biosynthesis and cell death (including apoptosis and programmed cell necrosis). In addition, mitochondria are involved in important physiological processes such as tricarboxylic acid cycle, fatty acid and amino acid oxidation, and regulation of calcium ion homeostasis. ...

Luminex Multiplex Assay
Principle of Luminex Multiplex Assay Luminex xMAP technology uses polystyrene microspheres of 5.6 microns in diameter dyed with different ratios of two red-sorting fluorescent dyes to obtain up to 100 fluorescent coded microspheres. Antibody molecules or gene probes for different test items are covalently cross-linked to specific coded microspheres, each of which corresponds to a specific test ...

Research Shows a Link Between Loneliness and Dementia
Humans are inherently social beings who thrive on making and maintaining social relationships. Connecting with and supporting one another forms deep bonds that make us feel seen, valued, and like we belong. These social interactions are not only important for our emotional well-being but also for our physical well-being-maybe even more so than originally thought. Loneliness, an increasingly ...

The Pivotal Glutathione Reductase
Glutathione is a tripeptide containing sulfhydryl groups combined with glutamic acid, cysteine and glycine. Glutathione has two forms, reduced (G-SH) and oxidized (G-S-S-G), and reduced glutathione accounts for the vast majority under physiological conditions. Glutathione reductase catalyzes the interconversion between the two types. The coenzyme of this enzyme is NADPH provided by the ...

Transcutaneous Magnetic Stimulation (tMS) in Alleviating Post-Traumatic Peripheral Neuropathic Pain States - Case Study
Abstract Background. Peripheral nerve injury can result in the formation of neuroma/nerve entrapment, a persistent peripheral neuropathic pain state which is often refractory to invasive interventions or medications. Therefore, there is a need in the field of pain management to develop innovative noninvasive therapy in treating post-traumatic peripheral neuropathic pain states. A new ...

Effect of Low FrequencyTranscutaneous Magnetic Stimulation on Sensory and Motor Transmission - Case Study
INTRODUCTION After a peripheral nerve injury, fast conducting large myelinated afferent A-bcta fiber transmission diminishes over time. On the other hand, firing of smaller pain transmitting fibers such as A-dclta and C-fibcrs is enhanced. This aberrant afferent neuronal behavior is thought to be one of the main neuronal mechanisms leading to development of chronic posttraumatic peripheral ...

Combating Ocean Acidification and Climate Change with Underwater Forests
Today, the acidity of the ocean is greater than at any point in the past two million years. Ocean acidification is one of the biggest effects of climate change, leading to coral bleaching, preventing organisms from growing shells, and contributing to toxic algae blooms. Recently, scientists have discovered a new, low-risk intervention that can help reduce the impact of ocean acidification. ...

Algae toxins linked to brain diseases found in Florida
An innovative field study in Southwest Florida has identified several neurotoxins in the state’s air and water. The three forms of BMAA – beta-Methylamino-L-alanine – are associated with brain diseases. The study conducted by Calusa Waterkeeper volunteers and analysed by Wyoming’s Brain Chemistry Labs identified two forms of BMAA in every sample from 945 completed over ...
