			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Home pregnancy tests have been practiced for long by women and is quite trusted way of confirming your doubts when it comes to conceiving. Here are certain signs that can tell you that you are probably pregnant.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.biotechblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/How-good-to-use-home-pregnancy-tests.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-710" title="How good to use home pregnancy tests" src="http://www.biotechblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/How-good-to-use-home-pregnancy-tests-300x182.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="182" /></a></p>
<p>If you have missed your period or you are having an abnormal or unusual period may be you are pregnant. If you have got frequent urinating tendencies or you throw up (vomit) again and again it is possible that you are pregnant. Generally women tend to lose their control over bladder when pregnant; it is very hard to control excretion of urine. Morning sickness or nausea is a tendency that is observed in pregnant women. They cannot resist throwing up again and again during the second and third months of pregnancy. Enlargement or soreness in breast is also indicates that possibly you are pregnant. Breast starts to grow big and become painful. If your breast is releasing colostrums, uterus is enlarged or you are getting a lot of stretch marks there is a possibility that you may be pregnant. In case you have frequent strange cravings like you have never had in past may be a n indication that you are pregnant.<span id="more-709"></span></p>
<p>However, these are not confirmed signs of pregnancy. Some of these symptoms when experienced together increase the probability of one&#8217;s pregnancy. You should immediately rush for a pregnancy test if you are even a little doubtful. This will clarify your doubts as it is a reliable way to test your pregnancy by yourself. You can also trace the pregnancy by an ultrasound test but home pregnancy strip test is more handy, cheap and reliable.</p>
<p>In case you are planning to conceive these are some symptoms that might be pointing towards your positive result on a pregnancy strip. Be happy you are experiencing such phenomenon and consult a doctor as soon as possible. Apart from all this reflect on your inner sight you can feel it when you are pregnant and the tests suggested above are just a primary confirmation.</p>
<p>In case you do not want to bear there are ways to get out of the web. Contraceptive pills are available in the market which can be a help in forbidding any pregnancy. There are pills that you can take within 72 hours after having unprotected sex to prevent pregnancy but its intake again and again can cause side effects. If you detect a positive on the pregnancy strip, you will have to abort it whether it is by an abortion pill or by any other method.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A breakthrough has been achieved in the stream of medical science. An alternative to the metallic stent has been found and is called biodegradable or bio-absorbable stents.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.biotechblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/heart-vintageanatomy-graphicsfairy007red.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-702" title="heart-vintageanatomy-graphicsfairy007red" src="http://www.biotechblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/heart-vintageanatomy-graphicsfairy007red-269x300.jpg" alt="" width="269" height="300" /></a></p>
<p><span id="more-701"></span></p>
<p><strong>Difference between the two</strong></p>
<p>Metallic stents which are in use for a long time now, had some disadvantages. These stents helps to keep the blocked arteries open to enable the flow of oxygen and blood, but also causes retenosis, that is, it scars up vessel tissue causing the arteries to clog again. Even though drug infused metallic stents have also been used as an alternative, it still does not lower the risks of other complications.</p>
<p>Biodegradable stents, on the other hand causes no such complications. It opens up the blocked arteries and dissolves itself after fulfilling its task, thus, minimizing the occurrence of any complication. It is made up of poly-l-lactide, a naturally dissolving material. It is said to dissolve in a time span of 18 months to three years. Another advantage of this stent is that it does not prevent the detection of other blockages as opposed to the metallic stents which would refract the rays of the scan, making it hard for detection.</p>
<p><strong>Benefits of not having a permanent stent</strong></p>
<p>One of the greatest benefits of not having a permanent stent is that it allows the lumen to expand. When a permanent metallic stent is used it does not allow the lumen to grow, thus hindering remodeling even though it allows the vessel around the stent to develop.</p>
<p>Another benefit is they do not produce any kind of inflammatory reactions as opposed to metallic stents.</p>
<p><strong>How does a biodegradable stent work?</strong></p>
<p>Arteries start getting clogged up due to the accumulation of fatty matter like chlorestol on the inner wall of the arteries that are responsible for providing blood to the heart. As it advances, it reduces the width of the lumen in return diminishing the amount of blood flowing into the heart. This is when a person undergoes a chest pain known as angina.</p>
<p>This disease can be arrested at the initial stage with the help of medication. But a person suffers a heart attack when the precautions are not taken, or when the artery is fully obstructed. That is when the surgical procedure of angioplasty is done. In angioplasty, a balloon is introduced into the artery through a guide wire and is inflated where the blockage is located. After this the stent is introduced so that it keeps the artery open.</p>
<p>The biodegradable stent releases a drug called everolimus which prevents irregular tissue growth.</p>
<p><strong>Researches and studies that classify biodegradable as safe</strong></p>
<p>Kunhiko Kosuga, who has a MD, PhD and is also the director of cardiology at Shiga Medical Center for Adults in Moriyana City, Japan, did a research on these new stents. He and his fellow researchers studied 44 men and 6 women who had undergone angioplasty and had used biodegradable stents to open up the affected arteries. They looked for various complications like clots, deaths, and other causes. The result is as follows:</p>
<p>◦ for the deaths associated with heart diseases, the survival rate was 98%.</p>
<p>◦ for death from all causes, the survival rate was 87%.</p>
<p>◦ there was no main cardiac problems in half the patients.</p>
<p>◦ Only four patients suffered heart attacks.</p>
<p>◦ The blood vessel involved had re-narrowed in 16% of the patients, in one year after undergoing the procedure.</p>
<p>◦ there were two clots that were found within the stent. One was due to the drug-infused stent close to the biodegradable one.</p>
<p><strong>Countries who welcomed biodegradable stents</strong></p>
<p>Nine European countries, Middle East, parts of Latin America and parts of Asia like India, Hong Kong, Philippines and Vietnam are already using these stents. In Europe, Asia-Pacific, Canada and Latin America, over 600 patients have taken part in the trial which aspires to have 1000 patients from over 100 centres present in these counties. Even Singapore has approved of these stents from 20th December, 2012.</p>
<p>However, doctors are still awaiting results for the long term effects on the patients</p>
<p>Even though the cost for manufacturing these stents is very expensive, doctors worldwide are optimistic that they will replace metallic stents eventually.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>What is potassium cyanide??</strong></p>
<p>A chemical compound with the chemical formula KCN is commonly known as the Potassium cyanide. This is a colorless crystalline compound, highly soluble in water and is similar in appearance as that of sugar. Potassium cyanide is considered to be highly toxic in nature. Potassium cyanide is considered to be one of the most deadly compounds being discovered till date.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.biotechblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/images-6.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-697" title="images (6)" src="http://www.biotechblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/images-6.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="200" /></a></p>
<p><span id="more-696"></span></p>
<p><strong>Production of Potassium Cyanide:</strong></p>
<p>Potassium Cyanide can be produced mainly by treating hydrogen cyanide in the presence of a fifty percent of an aqueous solution of potassium hydroxide. After that the aqueous solution is either evaporated in a vacuum or by treating the form amide in the presence of potassium hydroxide. On an average per year approximately fifty thousand tons of potassium cyanide are being produced all over the world.</p>
<p><strong>Use of Potassium Cyanide:</strong></p>
<p>Potassium Cyanide is mainly used for the purpose of electroplating, organic synthesis of a number of chemical compounds, gold mining and so on. In accordance with the large scale use of Potassium Cyanide, it is also used in smaller scale applications like in the jewelry manufacturing industry for chemical buffing and gliding. Other than those mentioned earlier, Potassium Cyanide is also used by the entomologists as it is an excellent killing agent, and it has the unique capability of causing minimum damage to the highly fragile specimens.</p>
<p><strong>Mystery about Potassium Cyanide:</strong></p>
<p>Since, the time of its invention, the biggest mystery that has been surrounded with Potassium Cyanide, is about the taste of it. Due to the fact that Potassium Cyanide is exceedingly poisonous substance and can cause death of a person in seconds, the taste of it has remained a mystery or a fact yet to be known to the world. Though, many researches and tests have been conducted to find the taste of Potassium Cyanide but none of them could come up with the appropriate result.</p>
<p><strong>Different views about the taste of Potassium Cyanide:</strong></p>
<p>There has been number of views among the scientists about the taste of the Potassium Cyanide, some of them are as follows:</p>
<p>· Since on hydrolysis of KCN, the resultant compound that are formed are KOH and HCN, which are strong base and weak base respectively, Potassium Cyanide is confirmed to be basic nature. Since at room temperature HCN is a gas which evolves and the solution is expected to have more KOH, so the taste of Potassium Cyanide is assumed to be bitter.</p>
<p>· Some, scientists who have died while finding the taste of Potassium cyanide, could only write the alphabet “S” before dying, so it is not conclusive whether it is sour, sweet or salty in taste.</p>
<p><strong>Conclusion:</strong></p>
<p>Though, a huge number of scientists sacrificed their lives in order to find the taste of Potassium cyanide, but it remained a mystery for long, until and unless a goldsmith from India named MP Prasad in an attempt to commit suicide with the help of Potassium cyanide could finally reveal the taste of Potassium cyanide. As per the suicide note of him the taste of Potassium Cyanide is very much acrid, that is irritatingly harsh and sharp. This fact about the taste of Potassium cyanide is approved by the World Health Organization and is marked as an extraordinary discovery in the field of science.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>DNA, deoxyribonucleic acid it is the backbone of all living creatures on earth. It is a molecule, which is having a double helical structure and encoded with genetic instructions. It leads to the functioning of all living beings including viruses. DNA profiling is done by the forensic scientists. It depicts the nature of the DNA and act as a person identifier. By knowing the genomic sequences a scientist could easily predict the DNA of the person.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.biotechblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/genes2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-694" title="genes2" src="http://www.biotechblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/genes2-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p><span id="more-693"></span></p>
<p><strong>Identification Of Diseases</strong></p>
<p>In this era this technology has become a boon or us in many ways. This concept of DNA testing is booming in the market like anything. It has become the latest rage specially in the health care market. Many companies are there who will promote you the test kits and let you know about the diseases like cardiac problem, any alzimers syndromes, any indication of breast cancer if have any. But here comes the argument many feeble minded people are there who will completely go against it. As the procedures includes blood testing and many people are phobic of syringes, then comes the acceptance of the disease if have any.</p>
<p><strong>Benefits of DNA testing</strong></p>
<p>Many women in our country are facing problem with breast cancer. As they are afraid of testing their blood and DNA. They don’t have the exact DNA marker. This is a big concern for the physicians as well. It is always recommended having a DNA testing for a healthy life. The risk factors get decreased than before and longevity will increase. Myopic thinking should be removed from the society and should learn to accept the truth. DNA testing will also give information about the allergic reaction with various pathogens. The life will be in a proper and better shape.</p>
<p><strong>Detection of criminals</strong></p>
<p>Normal people have a vague idea about this DNA testing which is not at all harmful. Through DNA testing crimes can also be detected. Like in the forensic lab the victim’s body will undergo a scrupulous check up and easily it will be detected about the death of the person. Many criminal lawyers take support from this process which make their job easy to detect the criminal. Though it&#8217;s not a good indication for the crime masters. By taking the blood sample or from the foot steps even, of the suspected person it will unveil the truth of the real murder. It can save our nation from crimes.</p>
<p><strong>Detection of pregnancy</strong></p>
<p>Many unrevealed and awful activities like rape case, illegal affairs lead to pregnancy. In many cases the male denied for becoming a father. The lady could easily raise her voice for justice, here</p>
<p>Comes the major role of DNA testing which will easily catch hold of the real father. Sometimes it is not safe for the pregnant woman to have DNA testing as it might cause harm to the fetus. The illegal activities in our society have inflated than before so DNA testing should play a vital role in the society of crimes.The lady will get justice and to deliver her baby.</p>
<p>As a whole it’s a win-win situation because some hospitals testing the DNA of the fetus take place, as an outcome they reveal the gender, which might lead to a death of a baby girl.This is an illegal activity. Some lawyers are also against this. But in this contemporary era one must believe in DNA testing to save our nation.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Fountain of youth is referred to a spring. If a person drinks the water of it, he or she can easily restore the youth again in themselves. In his writing Herodotus has also mentioned about this concept. This has become a kind of legend and many a famous author like Homer or Shakespeare have also discussed about in the literature. Now the biggest question is that whether there is really any kind of such fountain on this earth or not.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.quickmedical.com/images/blog/fountain_of_youth.jpg" alt="" width="292" height="350" /><span id="more-690"></span></p>
<p><strong>How the search goes on</strong>:</p>
<p>The search of such a fountain goes generation after generation because men have always wanted more youth. With the progress of science men have made many an incredible thing successful. The use of stem cells and many other related inventions have made huge change in human life. Men and women are getting longer and fitter life. More researches on cells are going on and scientists are working very hard to invent various things by the help of which we can keep our youth for longer time.</p>
<p><strong>What the concept is</strong>:</p>
<p>Though the whole thing comes from a myth but the main aspect of this thought is to get back the life again. Man has always searched for immortality. According to scientists, now they have found out a way to continue your youth for longer time. Actually our body can have the charm of youth because of cell division. Normally a cell can divide for fifty times and then gradually it stops and the characteristics of old age begin to come in the body. Now the scientists have succeeded to produce such a cell which can divide it over 90 times and still it will not get slow down. Scientists have used an enzyme with the chromosomes the name of which is Telomerase. Telomere shortening is the actual reason of gradually getting old. Now this enzyme will stop the normal shortening process of telomere and thus it can help you to keep your youth in yourself for longer time.</p>
<p><strong>Its drawback</strong>:</p>
<p>This enzyme is undoubtedly one of the most incredible inventions at the moment but it may have some drawbacks. According to some of the scientists this shortening process of telomere is a natural process. Now this natural process can eventually ward off cancer. Now by adding this enzyme this natural process of body defense will be destroyed. Some of the scientists are worried of the consequences of that. More experiments are going on and after the successful completion of them the scientists will be able to state the result of this new invention.</p>
<p><strong>Searching for longer life</strong>:</p>
<p>Most of the people on this earth like to have a longer life especially a longer youth in which he will have ample energy to enjoy all the entertaining aspects of life. The concept of fountain of youth has been traditionally carried forward generation after generation because of this continuous wish of longer life of human being.</p>
<p>The myth of finding a fountain where the water can be found which can bring back youth may not be found physically. However, progress of science can assure a longer youth for human. In recent future man is going to live a longer enjoyable life.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Biotechnology simply means to develop or to make useful products with the help of using living systems. Over the years mankind has used biotechnology in several sectors like agriculture, food production and medicine. There are several sectors in which biotechnology can affect severely.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://blog.zintro.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/biotechnology.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="292" /></p>
<p>Biotech for human enhancement is the most profitable industry in the 21st century. Careers are influenced by genetic heritage. It is said that by 2020 people will be able to decipher human genome<span id="more-687"></span></p>
<p>Which is nothing but the blueprint of our DNA? One of the trends is towards the genetic solutions to the ills. There are several newly discovered drugs will save countless no of lives. These drugs can also eliminate many diseases. A lot of research works have been done on the recent trends for biotechnology. Research output continues to shift to ASIA. The current trends in biotechnology are its association with pharmacy. It is said that within few more years people will be able to turn on or turn off certain genes which can influence on health and performance. People can eliminate unwanted characteristics by using altered genes from their babies. People can also enhance their babies’ capabilities by using the same method. There is different classification of biotechnology having different application of each. Like white or industrial biotechnology helps in the production of chemical base materials and end products. Red biotechnology means development of new medical drugs. Biotechnology is the driving factor behind many applications in medicine. Green or Plant biotechnology is used in production of plants which are renewable recourses. Biotechnology is integrated use of many biological technologies. It also has trends in horticulture. One of the emerging trends in Biotechnology have been observed and noted in recent years. One such trend is the trend in partnering and acquisition of deals. This is applicable to the business perspective towards the delivery and realization of more up to date by products. So basically there are a lot of sectors in which biotechnology can affect. But one of the most suitable choices is pharmaceutical sector. People are focusing more and more now days on the use of biotechnological products. There are a lot of independent biotechnology companies which deals directly with these biotechnological products. Biotechnology is used to develop commercial product also. Biotechnology becomes central priority of the government’s research policy to ensure a high standing of biosciences and to develop newer innovation techniques. At present there are 25 different initiatives to financially support universities, research institutes. They all are working like a chain having same common objectives. There is a healthy competition in between the companies which in turn increases the level of biotechnological products. The key element of this initiative is Biopharma competition. So it depends on the people how they utilize biotechnological products for their better interest.</p>
<p>Biotechnology is a technology which never goes opposite to the nature.</p>
<p>We have to improve the biotechnology with the help of nature. Now a days lots of course are based on Biotechnology in various colleges all over the world. It becomes popular to all the students also.</p>

<p>Genetic disorders are becoming common nowadays due to stressful modern lifestyle. Latest technologies are the added values to create many genetic disorders. To overcome the disorders, Gene therapy is a blessing. In order to compensate abnormal genes and make a good gene, genetic material is introduced into cells. In this way, mutated gene will act as a normal gene. Let us see in detail<br />

<p><strong>Ways to insert the gene</strong></p>
<p>There are indirect ways need to be followed to make a gene to function as if it is inserted directly does not function. Carrier also called as vector is used to deliver the gene. In the place of vectors, virus play the role as they are getting modified and hence people are not affected with new diseases when it is integrated into the chromosome of the human cell.</p>
<p>The vectors need to get injected to specific tissue in the body or outwardly patient&#8217;s cell is removed and exposed to the vector. In either of the ways need to be again returned to the patient. Successful treatment makes proper genes and genetic disorders get solved.</p>
<p><strong>Gene therapy for treating cancer</strong></p>
<p>Cancer is the dangerous disease and there are many ways to cure cancer including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. But cancerous cells in due course again spread and hence it is a deadly disease. Gene therapy is the best way discovered nowadays for treating cancer.<br />
Let us see the basic fundamentals of cells. cells include packets of data in genes, created either from DNA or RNA. Sequence is there for DNA and if it is in the order, there will be no problem. But at the same time If there is disorder occurs in portion of the genes either turning or changing the position, cells lost their control and abnormal growth is seen which result in cancerous tumors. It can spread in mouth, breast, lung etc.,</p>
<p>Specialists in Gene therapy analyze the patient&#8217;s criticality first and follow the treatment procedures. One way is they replace missing or mutated genes into wholesome genes. Inserting totally new genes for fighting cancer, placing DNA into cancerous cells to undergo chemotherapy and radiation or injecting bad gene to destroy them etc., Mesothelioma type of cancers are not at all responded in formal therapies and hence one need to undergo gene therapy essentially. Need to have consultations with doctors to overcome their deadly disease.</p>
<p><strong>Gene therapy importance</strong></p>
<p>Doctors decide whether gene therapy is suitable by the following approaches. If genetic disorders are from mutations in one or more genes or whether a normal copy of the gene that is available in the patient is enough to fix the problems in the affected cells, then doctors determine that gene therapy will be more helpful rather than going for traditional methods.</p>
<p><strong>Conclusion</strong></p>
<p>Genetic engineering is a vast topic. Latest Science innovations in the field of genetic engineering yields for gene therapy. Doctors and scientists together working to find out whether gene therapy is the best suitable way for treating deadly diseases like cancer and others. Let us salute for the positive force of gene therapy.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Very soon you would see models sashaying down the ramp wearing dresses made from Ingeo which is a fiber made from genetically engineered crop. All thanks to Biotechnology Industry Organization which is trying to use fashion statement in order to rebuild its image <a href="http://www.amazon.de/dp/B0085UU0PM">galaxy s3 halterung</a>. Slowly and steadily biotechnology is playing a pivotal role in the apparel industry which is waking up to its customers&#8217; concern regarding the environment and reliance of the country on foreign oil for making synthetic fabrics like nylon and polyester. On the other hand this is a concern among environmental activists who are opposing GM crops of any kind and Ingeo still supports GM crops. Let see how far these clothes go.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>USDA&#8217;a Advisory Committee has prepared a report titled &#8216;Opportunities and Challenges in Agricultural Biotechnology: The Decade Ahead&#8217; which talks about the advancements made by agricultural biotechnology in the first decade and the future of it over the next ten years. As of now it is difficult to predict which modern biotechnology generated animals or plants we would be able to see in the market in the next ten years but some of the possibilities have been stated in the report and they have been mentioned below: (1) Genetically engineered plant varieties that provide improved human nutrition (e.g., soybeans enriched in omega-3 fatty acids) (2) Products designed for use in improved animal feeds (providing better nutritional balance by increasing the concentration of essential amino acids often deficient in some feed components, increased nutrient density, or more efficient utilization of nutrients such as phosphate that could provide environmental benefits) (3) Crops resistant to drought and other environmental stresses such as salinity (4) Crops resistant to pests and diseases (e.g., fusarium-resistant wheat; chestnut-blight resistant chestnut; plum pox resistance in stone fruit; various insect resistant crops) (5) Additional crops containing a number of transgenic traits incorporated in the same plant (stacked traits) (6) Crops engineered to produce pharmaceuticals, such as vaccines and antibodies (7) Crops engineered for particular industrial uses (e.g., crops having improved processing attributes such as increased starch content, producing useful enzymes that can be extracted for downstream industrial processes, or modified to have higher content of an energy-rich starting material such as oil for improved utilization as biofuel) (8) Transgenic animals for food, or for production of pharmaceuticals or industrial products (e.g., transgenic salmon engineered for increased growth rate to maturity, transgenic goats producing human serum factors in their milk, and pigs producing the enzyme phytase in their saliva for improved nutrient utilization and manure with reduced phosphorus content <a href="http://www.evolutionwriters.com">essays</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you like being kept waiting for your appointment despite the fact that you have reached the clinic on time? Certainly not and to add to your woes the receptionist at the clinic gives the same old answer, &#8216;Please wait for sometime, the doctor is busy&#8217;. In order to overcome this trouble, a new biometric technology has been installed at the University of Manitoba, Canada which would enable orthodontic patients to sign in with their fingerprints. Now the receptionist is out of the picture and all the patient need to do is touch a fingerprint keypad on the front desk and the message directly reaches the workstation of the doctor informing him that the patient is waiting. In case a patient has been waiting for more than fifteen minutes, the doctor would be informed that the patient has been waiting for a longer duration of time. This would certainly end the irritation of patients who are forced to wait for a longer duration of time at the clinic in order to meet the doctor.</p>
