These Days, Exams are near and this makes parents extra curious about Their children whether they are studying or not. Even if they do study, they still do pressurize for marks and ranks and demotivate by frightening them with the future. By this small protective things a large pressure is built on the minds of children enabling them to take unwanted steps or be stressed resulting to bad results which particularly gives more stress.... So please motivate them to do by themselves, do not pressurize for marks and ranks, we all are proud children and we will do something for our lives and we promise won't let you down....

Dwarfism - By Smit Mehta
DWARFISM occurs when an individual person or animal is short in stature resulting from a medical condition caused by abnormal growth. In humans, dwarfism is sometimes defined as an adult height of less than 147 cm (4 feet 10 inches).
CAUSES
Dwarfism can be caused by any of more than 200 conditions. Causes of proportionate dwarfism include metabolic and hormonal disorders such as growth hormone deficiency.
The most common types of Dwarfism, known as skeletal dysplasias, are genetic. Skeletal dysplasias are conditions of abnormal bone growth that cause disproportionate dwarfism.
They include:
Achondroplasia- The most common form of dwarfism, achondroplasia occurs in about one out of 26,000 to 40,000 babies and is evident at birth. Other features are :-
- A large head with a prominent forehead
- A flattened bridge of the nose
- Forward curvature of the lower spine
- Bowed legs
- Flat short, broad feet
Spondyloepiphyseal dysplasias (SED)- A less common form of dwarfism, SED affects approx. one in 95,000 babies. Spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia refers to a group of conditions characterized by a shortened trunk,which may not become apparent until a child is between 5 and 10 years old.
Other features can include:
- Club feet
- Severe osteoarthritis in the hips
- Weak hands and feet
- Barrel-chested appearance
Diastrophic dysplasia- A rare form of dwarfism, diatrophic dysplasia occurs in about one in 100,000 births. People who have it tend to have shortened forearms and calves (this is known as mesomelic shortening).
Other signs include:
- Deformed hands & feet.
- Limited range of motion
- Cleft palate
- Ears with cauliflower appearance
SYMPTOMS
There are more than 200 various medical conditions associated with dwarfism. Generally, dwarfism is categorized in disproportionate and proportionate.
Proportionate dwarfism- This condition is due to certain congenital medical conditions and conditions during childhood. It restricts overall growth & development. Some disorders causing proportionate dwarfism can result in mental retardation. A deficiency of growth hormone, is most most common cause of this type.
Signs of the symptoms of dwarfism are:-
- Slow growth before age of 5.
- Period of little or no change in height.
- Height below the 5th percentile on standard pediatric growth charts.
- Delayed or not at all sexual development during adolescence
- Adult height usually less than 5 ft.
Turner Syndrome can also cause proportionate dwarfism. This disorder causes short stature & impaired maturation in women. Sign & Symptoms of this disorder are:
- An adult of average height of 4 feet 8 inches.
- Puffy hands & feet at birth and during infancy.
- Excess skin at the neck at birth.
- Kidney problems.
- Detect of heart & blood vessels.
Disproportionate dwarfism- People with disproportionate dwarfism have an average size trunk & very short arms. Some may have a very short trunk & small but disproportionately arms. Their head is larger than the body. Almost all people with disproportionate dwarfism possess normal intellectual capacities. In about 70% cases, achondroplasia is the main cause.
Some of the Symptoms of this disease are:
- An adult of average height of about 4 feet.
- Short arms & legs, especially upper arms & legs.
- An average size trunk.
A disorder known as Spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita(SEDC) is one of the most common causes of disproportionate dwarfism.
Signs & symptoms of this disease are:
- An adult of height ranging from 3 feet to just above 4 feet.
- A short neck.
- Slightly flattened cheekbones.
- Short arms & legs.
- Hip deformities, due to which thigh bones turn inwards.
- Progressive hunching curvature of upper spine.
TREATMENT
Early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent or lessen some of the problems associated with dwarfism. People with dwarfism related to growth hormone deficiency can be treated with growth hormone. In many cases, people with dwarfism have orthopedic or medical complications. Treatment of these can include:
- Insertion of a shunt to drain excess fluid & relieve pressure on the brain.
- A tracheotomy to improve breathing through small airways.
- Corrective surgeries for deformities such as cleft palate, club foot, or bowed legs.
- Surgery to remove tonsils or adenoids to improve breathing problems related to large tonsils, small facial structures.
- Surgery to widen the spinal canal (the opening through which the spinal cord passes) to relieve spinal cord compression.

Can Changing When And What We Eat Help Outwit Disease ???
I was worried that I might not be able to stick to an intermittent fasting schedule during my vacation in Mexico. It turns out, it was a breeze.
Because I was sick.
It started on the plane ride to Cozumel, a tingle in my throat and then the telltale sign that illness was imminent: three sneezes in a row. A clogged nose, a slight fever and a general feeling of malaise came over me after my third dive into the electric blue waters of the Caribbean.
I'm participating in a preliminary study at Johns Hopkins Medicine on the effects of intermittent fasting on the microbiome and inflammation in people with multiple sclerosis. For the six-month study, I'm restricted to eating during an eight-hour period, usually from noon until 8 p.m. That meant that the first day of vacation, my first meal was pretzels on a plane, my second was ceviche and nachos in the late afternoon.

I'm Fasting For Science: Will It Help Tame My Multiple Sclerosis?
It wasn't a great combination, but I had a feeling that as my nose continued to clog, I wouldn't be able to taste much, so I went for variety. As the week went on, I tried not to let my inability to taste hamper the experience, but it was hard. Tacos tasted like rubber, plantains like Elmer's glue. And though I squealed in delight when I saw a churros cart, the deep-fried, buttery, cinnamon-sugary treats tasted more like cardboard covered in sawdust.
My vacation was headed toward gastronomic disaster, but at least the study data would not be compromised.
At the end of the six months, researchers will be looking at the state of my microbiome, via a stool sample, to determine how it may have changed. Or to be precise, my microbiota, according to Jorge Cervantes, an assistant professor of microbiology at the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, El Paso who has studied the microbiome in relation to several diseases, including MS. I called him to get up to speed on my microbiota.
I can't keep this vacation eating up for much longer. If I wasn't sick, I probably would've gained 20 lbs by now.
"The microbiota is all the microorganisms living in a specific niche," he says. That niche being my gut. "We talk about bacteria, mainly, but there are also viruses and fungi."
The microbiome is the whole ecosystem — the bacteria, viruses, fungi, as well as the environmental conditions they inhabit.
Our resident bacteria serve us in three basic ways, says Cervantes, who is not involved in the study I'm doing. They occupy space and help restrict the overgrowth of bad bacteria. And they can help our metabolism by facilitating the breakdown of certain molecules.
Gut bacteria are of special interest to people with autoimmune diseases, including multiple sclerosis, irritable bowel syndrome and Crohn's disease, because they help in the training and development of our immune systems.
That's so that your immune system can sample a molecule and and tell, "'Oh this is bacteria,' or 'Oh, this is a virus.' " Cervantes explains. If the molecule might cause harm, an immune response is triggered.
Once an immune cell locates a potentially harmful molecule — say, from the bacteria Streptococcus, or whatever I caught on the plane to Mexico — it sends out a call to other immune cells so they can help control the invasion, Cervantes says. That process creates inflammation, which can involve pain, stinging, swelling or a host of other unpleasant symptoms that ordinarily mean your body is fighting the good fight to help you heal.
"Sometimes," Cervantes said, "the immune cells get confused." And here's where our microbes can affect autoimmune diseases such as MS, in which the body's immune system fires up at the wrong times: bacteria can be the trigger for this confusion. An immune cell can mistake good bacteria for bad bacteria, and that confusion can lead to an immune response when there's no real threat to a person's health.
Scientists are not only studying microbiota and their relationship to autoimmune diseases, they're studying their roles in hypertension, cancer, even mental health disorders.
Research in many of these areas is new and exciting and full of potential — and faces challenges, one being the difficulty of teasing out cause and effect. Does a change in the volume and/or variety of a microbiota lead to disease? Does the disease change the microbiota, leading to other health changes?
"The thing is, no one knows what is first, the egg or the chicken," Cervantes says.
To answer that question, scientists have been turning to mice. Not just any mice, these rodents are squeaky-clean, entirely germ-free. According to a review published in 2015 in Microbial Ecology in Health and Disease, germ-free mice are less likely to have inflammatory bowel disease, autoimmune arthritis, Type 1 diabetes and other autoimmune diseases. And when they do have them, the symptoms are less severe.
This, the authors say, is consistent with the idea that the microbiota could be a trigger for these diseases. Good news, right? But they go on to say that attempts to identify exactly which organisms could be causing these diseases have failed.
And even if we can agree that we want a "healthy" gut microbiome, what does that mean? "There is no ideal," Cervantes says. "The point is that the microbiome is not a fixed entity." It changes over time and is different from person to person.
And so it seems we've added a third variable to the already complex interplay of genetics and the environment when considering health and disease.
I'm pleased to report that my immune system, while it may be overactive, also does its job once in a while, fighting back the infection as I hunkered down in my hotel room in Mexico.
While I recuperated, I read through comments on the first article I wrote about my experiences with this study. People shared their own attempts to tweak their diets as means to ease suffering from a host of diseases. I also read a lot of criticism about my diet:
However, what she is eating are not anti-inflammatory foods at all! Why not start there and give the body more of a fighting chance than to eat the SAD (standard American diet)
less ice cream & tacos.

However, what she is eating are not anti-inflammatory foods at all! Why not start there and give the body more of a fighting chance than to eat the SAD (standard American diet)
less ice cream & tacos.
Many people with MS do have foods that they know don't sit well with them; for me, one is pizza. Delicious pizza. After a few slices my hands and feet burn and I typically fall asleep within the hour. To be honest, my body isn't a fan of ice cream, either. And I can't say I felt great after that ramen.
Halfway into the study, and I haven't felt much better overall. The first thing I do when I get home from work every day is still nap. I still grab my trusty ice pack from the freezer about once a week and clutch it for the soothing effect it has on my hands, and occasionally my feet. Don't worry; I wash it!
So OK, maybe the commenters are on to something. It stands to reason that if when you eat can have a drastic impact on the microorganisms in your gut, then certainly what you eat must be important, too, right?
"By all means," Cervantes said.
My study isn't looking at the effect of particular foods on MS symptoms. But I must admit I've been eating much worse since the study began. Come noon, I am so focused on food that I inhale everything in sight, then forage for more.
One co-worker frequently reminds us via email that he has Hershey's Kisses in his office. Another introduced me to Peanut Chews — she kindly always has a pack waiting for me in her desk drawer. The convenience store downstairs has granola bars for 75 cents! (And french fries for $1.50.)
Most days I eat my typically healthy lunch (some haphazard mix of vegetables topped with last night's dinner protein) and before I've finished chewing the last bite, before I can rationally asses the state of my hunger, I'm out of my office looking for another food fix.
There's another reason I've continued to eat like a madwoman during these past three months. Over the past year, I've deliberately lost a good amount of weight. Let's call it 35 pounds. Despite my unhealthy recent eating habits, believe it or not, I did it through an overhaul in my diet, cutting out most simple carbs and eating more vegetables and trading fat for muscle mass.
And like so many women, I do still reflexively judge how healthy I am in part by how much I weigh. I lost a few pounds when I began the study, and no matter how much ice cream I shovel into my face, I haven't gained any of it back.
I'm no doctor, but I'm fairly certain that just because my weight is stable, that doesn't mean I'm on a path to perfect health or a flourishing microbiome.
And so for the second half of the study, I have resigned myself to a crazy idea, getting back to eating like a responsible human being. A person who cares about the well-being of the ecosystem I'm hosting: the bacteria, viruses and other little guys who call my gut home.
Farewell, Peanut Chews. :)

Can humans live forever ? This scientist thinks it’s possible !!!
Can modern medicine find a way to delay or even stop the aging process of the human body ? Aubrey de Grey believes it is possible through better medicine that undoes years of molecular and cellular damage to the body.
De Grey is a biomedical gerontologist with the SENS Research Foundation who discussed his theories of regenerative medicine and the prevention of aging at the Inman Connect conference this week.
Aubrey de Grey
His research and theories are controversial, but he’s convinced there is a way we can bring nature under comprehensive medical control. “You have to bring a lot of ideas together and see how they fit together in a coherent technological way. It’s a technological design that will deliver the periodic repair of the body and postponement of ill health,” said de Grey.
He attributed the gains in longevity over the last century to one primary factor — the reduction of infectious diseases. With infectious diseases largely gone in the developed world, he said we need to turn our attention to the main cause of death.
“There’s almost one thing that kills everybody now in the developed world,” said de Grey. “It’s the accumulation of these various types of molecular and cellular damage that the body does to itself as a side effect of just being alive at all.”
According to his research and theories, that molecular and cellular damage can be repaired with new regenerative medicines, including stem cell therapies, gene therapies, drugs and vaccines.
De Grey challenged the wisdom of modern pharmaceutical research leading to really expensive drugs that delay diseases by very short periods of time. “We will not cure cancer this way. We will not cure Alzheimer’s this way,” said de Grey. The incentive structure for modern pharmaceuticals perpetuates this because “it can be done reasonably quickly, sold for a lot of money and because people are desperate for anything.”
“I think it’s really important to understand that the relationship between quality of life and quantity of life is not as most people think about it,” said de Grey. “Today most people think about those two things as some kind of trade off, and that makes sense today because there are many things we like doing that are not very good for us. But we are talking about a world in which quality will confer quantity, in which you will live longer because you are living better. That’s the critical thing here.”

Mummification - Egyptian ways to live forever and preserve the body.
Mummification is a process in which the skin and flesh of a corpse can be preserved. The process can occur either naturally, or it can be intentional. If it occurs naturally, it is the result of cold (as can be found in a glacier), acid (as can be found in a bog) or dryness.
Process
Process
Mummification was mainly done to wealthy people as poorer people could not afford the process.
The chief embalmer was a priest wearing a mask of Anubis. Anubis was the jackal headed god of the dead. He was closely associated with mummification and embalming, hence why priests wore a mask of Anubis.
This is the step-by-step process* of how mummification took place:
This is the step-by-step process* of how mummification took place:
- Insert a hook through a hole near the nose and pull out part of the brain
- Make a cut on the left side of the body near the tummy
- Remove all internal organs
- Let the internal organs dry
- Place the lungs, intestines, stomach and liver inside canopic jars
- Place the heart back inside the body
- Rinse inside of body with wine and spices
- Cover the corpse with salt for 70 days
- After 40 days stuff the body with linen or sand to give it a more human shape
- After the 70 days wrap the body from head to toe in bandages
- Place in a sarcophagus (a type of box like a coffin)
If the person had been a Pharaoh, he would be placed inside his special burial chamber with lots of treasure!
Purpose
The ancient Egyptians believed that the soul of the deceased would live forever in the afterlife and they used mummification to create a body that could continue to house the ka and ba of the individual, which were the nonphysical elements of a person. For this reason, they paid special attention to the external appearance of the mummy. The mummy was designed to make the individual complete in the afterlife and the ancient Egyptians striven to preserve the appearance of the individual as much as possible.
We can see that many corpses, mummies, have been found around the world and have allowed us, homo sapiens sapiens to know the world and also to research on their lifestyle and know the history thoroughly.
Ebola
EBOLA - A virus that causes severe bleeding, organ failure and can lead to death.
Symptoms - Initial symptoms include fever, headache, muscle pain and chills. Later, a person may experience internal bleeding resulting in vomiting or coughing blood.
People may experience:
Pain areas: in the abdomen, chest, joints, or muscles
Whole body: chills, dehydration, fatigue, fever, loss of appetite, malaise, or sweating
Gastrointestinal: diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, or vomiting blood
Also common: coughing up blood, eye redness, headache, mental confusion, red spots on skin, or sore throat
Some Questions !!!!
How long can a person live with Ebola?
Symptoms of Ebola virus disease. The incubation period, that is, the time interval from infection with the virus to onset of symptoms is 2 to 21 days. Humans are not infectious until they develop symptoms. First symptoms are the sudden onset of fever fatigue, muscle pain, headache and sore throat.
How was Ebola first discovered?
Ebola viruses are found in several African countries. Ebola was first discovered in 1976 near the Ebola River in what is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Since then, outbreaks have appeared sporadically in Africa. The natural reservoir host of Ebola virus remains unknown.
How contagious is the Ebola virus?
Ebola is hard to contract, they say, and good infection-control practices can stop its spread. What's more, Ebola is much less contagious than many other more common diseases. The virus, much like HIV or hepatitis, is spread through blood or bodily fluids and is not airborne.
How do you know if you have the Ebola virus?
The time from exposure to when signs or symptoms of the disease appear (the incubation period) is 2 to 21 days, but the average time is 8 to 10 days. Signs of Ebola include fever and symptoms like severe headache, fatigue, muscle pain, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, or unexplained bleeding or bruising.
PREVENTION
There is no FDA-approved vaccine available for Ebola.
If you travel to or are in an area affected by an Ebola outbreak, make sure to do the following:
- Practice careful hygiene. For example, wash your hands with soap and water or an alcohol-based hand sanitizer and avoid contact with blood and body fluids (such as urine, feces, saliva, sweat, urine, vomit, breast milk, semen, and vaginal fluids).
- Do not handle items that may have come in contact with an infected person’s blood or body fluids (such as clothes, bedding, needles, and medical equipment).
- Avoid funeral or burial rituals that require handling the body of someone who has died from Ebola.
- Avoid contact with bats and nonhuman primates or blood, fluids, and raw meat prepared from these animals.
- Avoid facilities in West Africa where Ebola patients are being treated. The U.S. embassy or consulate is often able to provide advice on facilities.
- Avoid contact with semen from a man who has had Ebola until you know Ebola is gone from his semen.
- After you return, monitor your health for 21 days and seek medical care immediately if you develop symptoms of Ebola.
Healthcare workers who may be exposed to people with Ebola should follow these steps:\
- Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).
- Practice proper infection control and sterilization measures. For more information, see U.S. Healthcare Workers and Settings.
- Isolate patients with Ebola from other patients.
- Avoid direct, unprotected contact with the bodies of people who have died from Ebola.
- Notify health officials if you have had direct contact with the blood or body fluids, such as but not limited to, feces, saliva, urine, vomit, and semen of a person who is sick with Ebola. The virus can enter the body through broken skin or unprotected mucous membranes in, for example, the eyes, nose, or mouth.
How Is Ebola Treated?
There’s no cure for Ebola, though researchers are working on it. Treatment includes an experimental serum that destroys infected cells.
Doctors manage the symptoms of Ebola with:
- Fluids and electrolytes
- Oxygen
- Blood pressure medication
- Blood transfusions
- Treatment for other infections
