Russian scientists create ‘bio-cement’ for human bones


Russian scientists have created a new biological material they called “bone cement”, which after 3D printing into a fracture or a crack, completely dissolves over time, while in its place the human body regenerates the missing part of the bone tissue.
The new substance based on biological hydroxyapatite was created by scientists of the Russian National Research Nuclear University’s affiliate in the Siberian city of Seversk, Tomsk region.
“We have created material that the organism takes as original,” professor Vitaly Guzeev said in the statement. The material is soft and flexible but hardens after application. The material is not rejected by the body and has huge broad potential in surgery, ranging from dentistry and cosmetology.

“On the basis of hydroxyapatite, we prepared a liquid material that we can fill a 3D-printer with,”professor has explained. Scientists hope to use tomography images and 3D printer to recreate, fit and match the missing bone part using minute specification.
The new material, which authors themselves call “bone cement” was conceived almost by accident.
Initially, scientists were working on the composition, which when applied to titanium prostheses would accelerate recovery. Then they thought why not make this material as strong as titanium, but without iron impurities.
“The bone marrow contains mesenchymal cells that always migrate to the damaged tissue areas. They detect our matter as something that can take part in biochemical processes and start processing it to enable [cell] division. Regeneration is cell division itself. As a result, a new bone tissue is produced with its own blood vessels and nerve cells,” Guzeev explained.

All components of the material are of natural origin, as the substance is derived from animal bones. This enables the body to adopt to it and accelerate the healing process.
Applying the “cement” results in the regeneration of real bone tissue with blood vessels and even nerve fibers. Unlike with titanium, which is often used in surgery to hold bones together, removing the material from the body after the regeneration is complete, is no longer necessary.
After animal studies demonstrated that the “bone cement” could actually help heal fractures and cracks, scientists started preparing documents for clinical trials, after which they hope to set up production in St. Petersburg.

13 Amazing Healing Powers Of Super Spice Clove.

 Dr Janardhana Hebbar



13 Amazing Healing Powers Of Super Spice Clove.

Cloves are tiny yet supremely explosive when it comes in their flavor and taste. And the same goes for their culinary, medicinal and nutritional value.

Cloves (Eugenia caryophyllus) are actually the unopened pink flower buds of the evergreen clove tree. The ripe pink buds are plucked and dried till they turn the customary brown color. The peculiar head on top of the shaft makes it look like a nail (Latin clavus) from which it gets its name. Cloves have a warm, sweet and aromatic taste.

Cloves are native to the Moluccas, formerly known as the Spice Islands of Indonesia and have been part of Asian medicine and cuisine for well over 2,000 years. During the 4th century Arab traders brought cloves to Europe. While for a long time, they were cultivated almost exclusively in Indonesia, today the leading clove-producing region is Zanzibar in Eastern Africa. In addition to these two regions, cloves are also grown commercially in the West Indies, Sri Lanka, Madagascar, India, Pemba and Brazil.



TOP 13 AMAZING HEALING POWERS OF SUPER SPICE CLOVE

Dental Care: The essential oil, eugenol in cloves has been in therapeutic use in dentistry as a local-anesthetic and antiseptic as it provides relief from toothache by fighting gum infections. You can temporarily alleviate the pain by dabbing a little clove oil on a cotton ball and placing it on the sore tooth or on your gums.

Regulates Blood Sugar Levels: The essential oil, Eugenol also has been found to help prevent adult onset diabetes by stabilizing blood sugar levels.

Aids the Digestive Systems: Clove oil is used for its warming and stimulating effects to help relax the smooth lining of the Gastro Intestinal tract, alleviating symptoms of vomiting, diarrhea, indigestion, flatulence and stomach aches.

Kills Intestinal Worms: In Chinese medicine and also Western herbalism cloves are used (for their natural anti-parasitic action) to improve the secretion of hydrochloric acid, to aid in the peristaltic motion and to remove intestinal worms.

Anti inflammatory: The essential volatile clove oil functions as a rubefacient (it irritates the skin and expands the blood vessels), increasing the flow of blood to make the skin feel warmer, making it a popular home remedy for arthritis, rheumatism and sore muscles, used either as a poultice or in hot baths.

Diffuses Feeling of Nausea and Morning Sickness: Cloves and clove oil when taken together can provide relief from nausea, morning sickness, vomiting and diarrhea.
Relieves Upper Respiratory Infections:  Ayurveda suggests drinking a lukewarm mixture made with ten drops of clove oil and honey that act as an expectorant making it easier to cough up phlegm to treat coughs, colds, sinusitis, flu and asthma. Cloves are natural painkillers and their anti bacterial effect helps you get rid of that sore throat.

 Aphrodisiac: Since ages, Clove has been considered an aphrodisiac, in curing impotence, preventing premature ejaculation and relieving vaginal discharges.

Rich in Manganese: Manganese is an important trace mineral for the body because it activates multiple enzymes, particularly anginas which help in the formation of urea. Manganese also forms the enzyme peptides which are responsible for the hydrolosis of proteins in the intestines. This mineral helps with lipid metabolism (getting rid of fat) and keeping the nervous system stable (reducing irritability).

Stress Buster: A flovoured tea of cloves with basil, mint, cardamom and honey in water helps soothe the senses and relieves stress and muscle spasms in the body. Clove essential oils’ fragrance eliminates exhaustion and fatigue related thoughts and insomnia.

Treats Scrapes and Bruises: A poultice of clove oil with a little olive oil can help speed up the healing process in cases of bruises, insect stings and minor cuts.

Heals Acne and Warts: Clove oil’s strong antimicrobial properties help treat skin problems like acne and warts.

Prevents Bad Breath: Chewing Cloves have long been advocated in Ayurvedic texts in treating halitosis or bad breath. It is considered a good practice to chew on a clove after a meal.


Side Effects and Precautions:

Unsafe for Children: In children, clove oil is UNSAFE to take by mouth. It can cause severe side effects such as seizures, liver damage, and fluid imbalances

Damage to Gums: Frequent and repeated application of clove oil in the mouth or on the gums can sometimes cause damage to the gums, tooth pulp, skin, and mucous membranes.

Respiratory Problems: Inhaling smoke from clove cigarettes is unsafe and can cause side effects such as breathing problems and lung infections.

Unsafe to inject: Clove oil is unsafe to inject into the veins. It can cause severe breathing problems and lung damage.

Bleeding disorders: Clove oil contains a chemical called eugenol that seems to slow blood clotting. There is a concern that taking clove oil might cause bleeding in people with bleeding disorders.

Surgery: Clove seems to be able to slow blood clotting, so there is a concern that it might cause bleeding during or after surgery. Stop using clove at least 2 weeks before a scheduled surgery.

Vessyl: A Smart Cup That Counts Liquid Calories

By Amy Schlinger for Life by DailyBurn

How many calories do you think you drink daily? According to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, the average American sips down 400 calories a day, 37 percent of which comes from sugar-sweetened beverages. So how do you get to the bottom of what’s in your cup—especially without always knowing the exact nutritional facts of its contents? And without counting calories all day long? The solution could be right at your fingertips, with a simple tilt of a glass.

Vessyl is a cup designed to automatically assess what’s been poured into it and track what you’re drinking in real-time. Put any type of liquid into the cup, whether it be soda or juice or coffee, and the Vessyl’s advanced sensing technology breaks down the fluid to a molecular level in order to identify the beverage. It can even differentiate brands like Pepsi versus Coke, plus, it gives caloric make up including total grams of sugar, fat, protein, sodium and caffeine.

The cup then connects through low energy Bluetooth technology to an accompanying iPhone or Android app. This allows the cup to utilize Pryme, its hydration estimation portal which gives users personal recommendations to make healthier choices, and track your habits to see if you’re making progress toward your goals. Choose a lens within the app—calories, sugar content, fat, protein, sodium or caffeine—tilt the cup to the side and watch as its discreet screen comes to light telling you information on what’s in the cup. The information is automatically transferred to the app for effortless analysis.

Drinks are one of the easiest ways to take in excess calories, sugar and fat. And because liquid calories are so plentiful these days, you could triple the amount of corn syrup recommended for a health diet in just a few sips. Justin Lee, CEO of Mark One, the company behind Vessyl, noticed this and wanted to create a way people could keep track of intake in real-time.

“There are plenty of devices that track activity, but Vessyl is the first ever consumer product to automatically track your consumption in real time,” he says. “Beverages are a major source of unnoticed calories, and Vessyl gives you the tools to easily know what you’re really drinking and motivate you to make healthier choices.”

Vessyl has a non-stick interior and comes with a spill-proof lid and coaster-like charger. One hour on the charging station gives the cup a week’s worth of battery—perfect for those on-the-go. The Vessyl is currently available for presale for $99 with a $50,000 consumer demand goal to begin production. The device will eventually retail for $199 and the first batch is expected to ship in 2015.

But how smart will this smart cup really be? We won’t know until we sip.
