Monday 4 February 2019 was yet another World Cancer Day. We celebrated our efforts to find and eradicate cancer without admitting to ourselves that cancer isn’t a single disease, but rather a group of diseases all caused by our bodies responding to the toxic environment we are exposing ourselves to, just as our planet is responding to the toxic wastes we are dumping into it. The question is WHY do our bodies run amok. The answer lies in the same answer to why Global Warming exists...... ReadMore

In 1927, Werner Heisenberg [1], published his “Uncertainty principle” which in brief states that it is impos-sible to simultaneously know both the position and momentum of an electron or any other particle with any degree of accuracy or “certainty.” To define the location of an electron required interaction with it. This inter-action would result in movement of the electron and as a result, would move the electron...... ReadMore

Adequate calcium intake is essential for the maintenance of bone health and the preservation of bone mineral density. The lay person believes that calcium is always good for health. Successful marketing and various clinical practice guidelines have made prescribing calcium supplements a billion dollar market in recent years. The aim of this study was to scan the literature and find out whether calcium supplements should be prescribed to all patients with fractures so as to improve their bone healing or should it be restricted to elderly post- menopausal females who have osteoporotic bones. The inference drawn was that dietary calcium is easier to absorb and may have beneficial effects as compared to calcium supplements and it should be limited to the total daily intake to 1000–1200 mg optimally from dietary sources. Ca..... ReadMore

The release of exosomes and ectosomes carrying noncoding RNAs is addressed in the context of cancer, with focus on microRNAs and long noncoding RNAs as well as differences in RNA cargos produced by tumor and nontumor cells. The differential appearance of ncRNAs can be used for diagnostic and prognostic purposes. Beyond these possibilities, the spreading of pathological and beneficial messages deserves particular attention and will gain future importance. Especially the use of exosomes released by cells that overexpress ncRNAs with antitumor properties appears to be a promising strategy...... ReadMore

Increasing the population and off them living styles effect on the surrounding environment leads to changes in climate with time. In the long run, the climatic change could affect agriculture in several ways such as quantity and quality of crops in terms of productivity, growth rates, photosynthesis and transpiration rates, moisture availability etc. Among the agricultural crops maize is also one of the most important food crops. Predictions suggest that worldwide climate change will reduce maize production this will coincide with a substantial increase in demand for maize due to rising populations. However, selection for climate change adaptation cultivar is difficult due to complex genotype by environment interactions. The broader use of traits from alien species and the m..... ReadMore

The impact of climate change on agriculture will be one of the major deciding factors influencing the future food security of mankind on earth. Agriculture is not only sensitive to climate change but, at the same time, is one of the major drivers for climate change. Understanding the weather changes over a period of time and adjusting the management practices towards achieving better harvest is a challenge to the growth of agricultural sector as a whole. The most imminent climatic changes in recent times is the increase in the atmospheric temperatures due to increased levels of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), methane (CH 4 ), ozone (O 3 ), nitrous oxide (N 2 O) and chloro fluoro carbons (CFCs)......

Uterine leiomyomas are the most common gynecological tumor in women of reproductive age. These tumors are typically benign entities, but uncommonly transition toward tissues of malignant potential. Rare growth patterns of uterine leiomyomata have been observed which include benign metastasizing leiomyoma (BML), disseminated peritoneal leiomyomatosis (DPL), intravenous leiomyomatosis (IVL), retroperitoneal leiomyomatosis (RPL) and parasitic leiomyoma (PL). Metastasis of uterine fibroids most commonly appear several years after the diagnosis and removal of uterine leiomyomata by hysterectomy. For two women who sought treatment for BML and IVL in our clinic, we retrospectively outlined and evaluated their specific genetic, pathological, and clinical features with the intention to elucidate possible t.....

A 13-year retrospective study of reprint requestors was undertaken with special reference to those from research libraries. It was found that 2.8 percent of the total 2,053 requests were from such librarians. They preponderated in USA, East Germany, Australia, France and Britain. The reason for their requests included Reprint Library acquisitions and exhibition purposes. The librarians tended to ask for reprints from foreign rather than local Journals. All indications are that the reprint has played an important role in scientific communication. In particular, the librarians, who work in research libraries, deserve special scrutiny...... ReadMore

I was asked to submit a minireview to this journal on oncology. I’ll share an antidotal observation that may prove useful to cancer researchers. I studied hyper-ferritism and Ferric Chloride to see its possible link to schizophrenia. Those results are well published [1,2]. However, I noticed from that research a trend that 12 patients who should have had high hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) also universally had had some form of cancer in their medical history. I wonder if H2O2 is not a carcinogen? Could the H2O2 break down that cell walls leading to cell mutation? I’m not an expert on cancer, nor do I intend to be, but perhaps this clue may lead to further research into to the causes of cancer...... ReadMore
