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

Liver and liver detoxification

Image
 After a night of excessive drinking or a period of poor eating, it's common to hear people say they want to detox their liver. There are a variety of products on the market that guarantee you'll have a healthy liver in no time. However, how secure and reliable are liver detoxes? The liver is the body's largest internal organ in the human body  located in the upper right-hand portion of the abdominal cavity, beneath the diaphragm, and on top of the stomach, right kidney, and intestines. Shaped like a cone, the liver is a dark reddish-brown organ, weighing on average 3 pounds in an adult. Over 500 important processes are carried out by the human liver which makes it one of the most important organ in the body. The liver produces bile to help in the breakdown and absorption of ingested lipids. Additionally, bile enables the digestion of vitamin K from dietary lipids. The liver also serves as our body's main blood filter, removing toxins, waste products, and other dangerou

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

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

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 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.

Follow @OmEnigma Major highlights of the article   ---> UK defense intelligence suggests that Russia is deploying Butterfly mines over Donetsk and Kramatorsk region of Ukraine --> children are the prime targets due to the toys like look of the mines but similar threat for local population and humanitarians  --> Devastating effects in soviet Afgan war during Afgan Mujqhideen movement. - -> Banned by international convention on landmines  According to the UK Ministry of Defence Intelligence Update, Russia is to blame for the strikes "Russia most certainly tried to use PFM-1 and PFM-1S scatterable anti-personnel mines in Donetsk and Kramatorsk. The PFM-1 line of weapons, also known as "butterfly mines," are highly contentious, indiscriminate weapons." They continue, "They purportedly wounded a large number of youngsters who mistaken them for toys during the Soviet-Afghan War." What are butterfly mines ? Anti-personnel landmines with the design
