Emerging Intracellular Electrical Phenomena: Implications for Paradigm Shifts in Biological Chemistry Research

Image
Summary of the article  The human body depends on electrical charges for many biological processes, including brain activity and nerve impulses. Previously, it was believed that cellular membranes were necessary to create an electrical charge imbalance. However, recent research from Stanford University has shown that a similar electrical imbalance can exist between microdroplets of water and air. Now, researchers from Duke University have discovered that these types of electric fields also exist within and around biological condensates, a type of cellular structure. These structures form compartments inside the cell without needing the physical boundary of a membrane. The researchers discovered that when environmental conditions are right, a previously unknown phenomenon occurs in these biological condensates, which creates a redox reaction that produces tiny amounts of hydrogen peroxide. This discovery could change the way researchers think about biological chemistry and provide a clu

What smoking does to your heart?

Image
Follow @OmEnigma    Smoking is the leading cause of deaths worldwide. The number of death caused by smoking alone is more than the total deaths caused HIV, illegal drug activity, alcohol intake, automobile injuries, and events involving firearms combined.  Smoking puts more than 7000 different chemicals into the body of which more than 250 are deadly and more than 60 can cause cancer. Some of these toxic chemicals includes carcinogens  (Acetaldehyde,Aromatic, amines,Arsenic,Benzene,Beryllium ,1,3–Butadiene etc.), Toxic metals(Arsenic, cadmium), Radioactive metals(lead, polonium) and certain poisons like carbon monoxide, hydrogen cyanide, ammonia compounds and nicotine. Inhalation of these harmful chemicals are capable enough to destroy any part of the body. Though most of the times smoking is linked with the damage of the lungs and it's the fact that smoking does most effect to the lungs but it's effects to the heart and entire cardiovascular system are even more shocking.

Synthetic embryo with brain and beating heart created without sperm and egg

Image
  In case of totipotent plant cells it is possible for the single cell to give rise to the entire plant. This thing was experimentally done in plants and is in practice since the early 20s, but in case of animals an egg from the maternal side and sperm from the parental side are required for the formation a new one. But recently the scientists in the university of Cambridge have created the embryo of the mouse with a brain and the beating heart, well to create the embryo isn't the great accomplishment but the achievement is that this embryo is created from the stem cells only without the involvement of the sperm or egg. This represents a fresh way to recreate the beginnings of life. Stem cells which are often considered as the raw materials of the body cuz from these cells all the cells in the body involved with any systems with specialized functions are generated. Professor Magdalena Zernicka-Goetz with his co workers used this special cells to develop the embryonic model instead

Back pain and good body posture

Image
Follow @OmEnigma B ack pain is one of the most common cause of disability worldwide. It is a common complaint that most people have at some point in their lives. It frequently first appears throughout adolescence and grows more prevalent as people age. Back pain can become persistent, incapacitating, and distressing for 25% of persons who experience it. It may limit a person's capacity to engage in daily tasks, physical activity, and employment. Back discomfort is frequently made worse by actions including sitting, standing, bending, and lifting. It's a widely held concept that maintaining "excellent" posture is crucial for both preventing and treating back pain as well as shielding the spine from harm. It's a widely held concept that maintaining "good" posture is crucial for both preventing and treating back pain as well as shielding the spine from harm. A common definition of good posture is sitting "upright," standing "tall and aligne

Air pollution and its health consequences

Image
Follow @OmEnigma  Air pollution is the changing of the natural features of the atmosphere by any chemical, physical, or biological factor in either the indoor or outdoor environment. These chemical, physical or the biological ingredients responsible for the change in natural quality of air are air pollutants. Common causes of air pollutants include smoke from motor vehicles, industrial operations, household combustion appliances, and forest fires. Particulate matter, carbon monoxide, ozone, nitrogen dioxide, and sulfur dioxide are pollutants of great public health concern. Indoor and outdoor air pollution are significant contributors to morbidity and mortality because they cause respiratory and other illnesses. Multiple and situation-specific sources contribute to air pollution. Residential energy use for heating and cooking, transportation, power production, agriculture/waste incineration, and industry are the main causes of outdoor pollution. Key sources of ambient air pollution ca

World health statics 2022 :- WHO

Image
Follow @OmEnigma  The COVID-19 pandemic, which is believed to have contributed to an additional 4.5 million fatalities in that year, was first reported in 2020, according to the World Health Organization's most recent comprehensive set of global health statistics. The numbers show the extent to which the epidemic has been hurting health systems globally, drastically limiting access to some essential services in some instances. The advancements made in the first 20 years of the century in terms of both life expectancy and healthy life expectancy are expected to be reversed as a result of these disturbances. Globally, the average age at birth rose from 66.8 years in 2000 to 73.3 years in 2019, and the average age at death rose from 58.3 years to 63.7 years for healthy people. Gains in maternal and child health as well as significant investments in and advancements in programs for communicable diseases like HIV, TB, and malaria were major contributors to this. However, the data fro

Polio:- virus, variants, types, symptoms, prevention, treatment and protection

Image
Follow @OmEnigma  The polio virus has been discovered in the wastewater of New York City, which is yet another indication that the disease, which hasn't been reported in the country in a decade, is covertly spreading among the unprotected, according to health officials on Friday. According to health officials from the city, New York State, and the federal government, the poliovirus was found in the wastewater of the city, indicating that the virus is probably circulated locally. Parents were advised by the authorities to immunize their kids against the possibly fatal illness. During the struggle of continuous waves of covid and then the monkeypox, this polio case has make everyone threatened as this is the first case of the polio detected in the US after nearly a decade. This thing became more concerning when another case was detected in the sewage of London. It was 20th August 1994 when America was officially certified polio free and in 2003 UK was set polio free.

5 billions deaths possible if nuclear war happens.

Image
Follow @OmEnigma  Nuclear war will cause the greatest famine the earth has ever witnessed and it will cause more than 5 billions people to lose their life most of them due to starvation and others of war effect and radiation affects. A smaller regional nuclear conflict could also result in the starvation of billions of people, according to peer-reviewed research published in Nature Food on Monday. These sobering findings illustrate the far-reaching effects of nuclear war as tensions between several nuclear-armed states soar amid the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. A full-scale nuclear war between Russia and the U.S. could cause a global famine and kill more than 5 billion people. One of the authors, Professor Alan Roebuck, stated, "The numbers tell us one thing: We must prevent a nuclear war from ever occurring." According to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, the warning comes as "humanity is just one misunderstanding, one error away from nuclear destruction." Est

Vitamins and minerals:- They are more important than you think

Image
Follow @OmEnigma  According to a recent article published by the Harvard medical school, "Vitamins and minerals are as essential for living as air and water. Not only do they keep your body healthy and functional, they protect you from a variety of diseases." What are vitamins? vitamin is an organic molecule that is an essential micronutrient that an organism needs in small quantities for the proper functioning of its metabolism. Vitamins have diverse biochemical functions. Vitamin A acts as a regulator of cell and tissue growth and differentiation. Vitamin D provides a hormone-like function, regulating mineral metabolism for bones and other organs. The B complex vitamins function as enzyme cofactors (coenzymes) or the precursors for them. Vitamins C and E function as antioxidants. Both deficient and excess intake of a vitamin can potentially cause clinically significant illness, although excess intake of water-soluble vitamins is less likely to do so. Types of vitamin I) F
