Basic Facts About DNA and Its Testing

Posted by on Apr.26, 2008, under Health Tips No Comments

DNA – deoxyribonucleic acid is a double helix structure (looks like twisted ladder). Human Genome Project (HGP) has done automatization of human DNA. Human DNA has been physically mapped by HGP.

DNA Tests are done basically for –

     To find out genetic defects of certain diseases. For example DNA screening is done in Jewish population for autosomal recessive neurodegenerative storage disease Tay-Sachs disease which has reduced the number of affected individuals.

       In legal system to confirm identification of dead body, to find out rapists, to find out biological parents in disputed cases, to determine culprit from samples which investigators collect from crime scene.

       In scientific research.

(DNA Testing is also called DNA fingerprinting, because probability of error with DNA testing is one in 30 billion, which means there will be practically no error at present because world population at present only little above 6 billion which is way below the accuracy figure of DNA testing.)

DNA Testing(Genotypic Analysis) is done by fragmenting of double helix structure of DNA & sequencing them in a particular sequence. DNA is the vehicle of transport of genetic material & information from parents to offspring’s in entire animal & plant kingdom except some RNA(ribonucleic acid) viruses where RNA is the vehicle of transport of genetic material. In other cases RNA cannot act as a vehicle of transport of genetic material.

The accuracy of dna tests has caused wide acceptance & application in the field of medicine & also in judiciary. Genetic engineering has revolutionized the pharmaceutical industry which applies recombinant DNA technology for large scale production of drugs at a very cheaper rate.

DNA Testing requires very minute quantity of material for testing which is very important for crime investigation, because sometime the quantity of sample is very minute in quantity. A single cell or a single root of hair is sufficient for DNA testing. DNA testing can also be done in very old samples which require only few cells.

Basic Facts About Emergency Dentistry

Posted by on Apr.26, 2008, under Health Tips No Comments

Emergency is not very common in dentistry. Though toothache is a common serious problem, it cannot be exactly called emergency. Toothache is second most painful condition along with labourpain. Appendicitis, has the distinction of being most severe painful condition among all disease states.

Emergency dentistry deals with dental emergencies. Some dental emergencies are:

= Severe profuse uncontrolled bleeding from extracted tooth.

= Fracture of upper jaw (maxillary bone) which also generally occurs in RTA.


In present rapid socioeconomic change emergency dentistry is emerging rapidly. Common people are becoming aware of emergency dentistry. In all major big general hospitals dentists are also working in casualties along with medical personals.

Proper training should be given to dental surgeons during intern training and also on job training programmes should be provided to the dentists, so they can become good emergency dentist.

Orthodontists, a specialized branch of dentistry generally perform emergency surgeries of RTA. They are trained for doing the fixing of broken jaws both upper and lower jaws.

As prevention is better than cure, dentistry should also concentrate on preventive side more than curative aspect. Emergency will always be there so will be emergency dentistry, but preventive aspect should not be neglected as is done in many countries.

Posted by on Feb.24, 2008, under Health Tips No Comments

Testosterone is an important hormone and the use of anabolic steroids required some medical examination of health condition of the body. Testosterone is discovered as a hormone in human body. It stimulates the male characteristic in a person. It was experimentally proved that the removal of Testosterone secreting gland testicles transform the sex of a male bird. The application of the testicles is also tested in case of the other creature like dog. International Olympic Council banned the use of steroids in sport activities in 1967. A sport man can perform more than a normal one using testosterone steroids. This news makes the name of steroids a matter of unacceptable. The medical science is still using different types of steroids, Anabolic Steroids under different medical conditions. All drugs can be use and abuse under different condition to know more about the abuse of steroids Steroid-Abuse.org provides more information.

The art of building the body in a good shape is a part of sporty character in human living. The most significant chemical that help to build the good shape of a body is a group of all steroids.

There are generally found in both plants and animal bodies. Buy Steroids depends on the different requirement of a body and also the constituent functional group of a particular steroid. It is a very significant chemical that is used under necessary trams and condition to improver the body structure. In generally, steroids are some kind of lipid type of protein formed in our body. The level of steroids in a group of age level is different. That’s why being at the same age two different people have different body structure. This organic chemicals act like a hormone in human body and maintain the sex, reproductive health of a person. The imbalance of the normal quantity of steroids in a human body makes the normal living stressful. Anabolic Steroids are a part of human Steroids that help in body building.
