7 Medical Worst Crime in History

 The progress of medical science can indeed save a life, but sometimes experiment conducted by scientists violate existing ethics. This is her seventh worst medical experiments involving human subjects.
As quoted by LiveScience, Friday (17/12/2010) there are 7 worst in the history of medical experimentation involving humans as subjects, namely:
1. Tuskegee Study
 
The study lasted for 40 years. According to the Center for disease control and prevention of the U.S., the health department launched a research on the health effects of untreated syphilis. Unfortunately this is not known to the participants, whether they received treatment or not syphilis.
Researchers track the progression of the disease in 399 black men in Alabama, including 201 healthy men. Scientists reveal the participants that diriya being treated as a 'bad blood'. These participants had never received adequate treatment, even until 1947 when penicillin became the choice of drugs for treating syphilis.

2. Studies of syphilis in Guatemala

 
Between the years 1946-1948, the U.S. government and the Guatemalan conduct a joint study by deliberately infect syphilis in prisoners in Guatemala and the patient in a mental hospital. This study aims to test the chemicals that can prevent the spread of disease.
Researchers trying to infect the subject by way of him having sex with a prostitute who had been infected. Although syphilis was given the drug penicillin, but found no further treatment for these patients.
3. Surgical experiments on slaves
 
  People of modern gynecology, J Marion Sims much gain fame by performing experimental surgery on slave women. Sims experimented surgery without anesthesia (partial anesthesia has not been found), but he revealed that it was not painful enough. Whereas in the Journal of Medical Ethics written in 1993 to experiment with humans is not acceptable.
4. Burke and Hale's murder
 
  Until the 1830s the execution murders are relatively rare, so many experts anatomy of the human body to take or buy from the robbers. Until finally William Hale and his friend William Burke opened the entrepreneurial lodging and sell the body to be sold on the anatomist. As a result of these crimes Burke later hanged for his crimes.
5. The Monster Study
 
  In 1939 researchers wanted to prove the theory that stuttering behavior is caused by the anxiety of a child to speak. The researcher sat with the children orphans and said that these children show signs of stuttering and should not speak unless sure I can speak properly. This experiment makes the child that was normal to be anxious and became silent.
6. Japan's Unit 731
 
  Throughout the 1930s until the 1940s, the Japanese imperial army to do medical tests and biological warfare against the civilian population and most of China. The death toll from this brutal experimental unknown, but there may be 200,000 people.
The study involved infected wells cholera, typhus, lice and the prisoners lined up in cold weather to determine the best treatment for frostbite. Other atrocities were blindfolded prisoners with poison gas, and then inserted into the room until his eyes out and membedahnya while still alive and conscious.
7. Nazi medical experiments
 
  Perhaps the notorious experiments of all time is carried out by Josef Mengele, an SS doctor at Auschwitz, and he collects the eyes of the victims of his patients. These experiments using prisoners to test the treatment of infectious diseases and chemical warfare. While others are forced into low-pressure frozen in a room as a trial flight.

Meanwhile, an ad apula experiment with how to tie a woman's breasts with rope so that researchers bus amelihat how long a baby can survive with the hunger. Until finally the baby injected with lethal morphine to end his suffering. It is known that Mengele died in Brazil in 1979 of a stroke.

What is Adsense?


AdSense is an ad serving application run by Google Inc. Website owners can enroll in this program to enable text, image, and video advertisements on their websites. These advertisements are administered by Google and generate revenue on either a per-click or per-impression basis. Google beta tested a cost-per-action service, but discontinued it in October 2008 in favor of a DoubleClick offering (also owned by Google). In Q1 2010, Google earned US$2.04 billion ($8.16 billion annualized), or 30% of total revenue, through AdSense.


Google uses its Internet search technology to serve advertisements based on website content, the user's geographical location, and other factors. Those wanting to advertise with Google's targeted advertisement system may enroll through AdWords. AdSense has become a popular method of placing advertising on a website because the advertisements are less intrusive than most banners, and the content of the advertisements is often relevant to the website.
Many websites use AdSense to monetize their content; it is the most popular advertising network. AdSense has been particularly important for delivering advertising revenue to small websites that do not have the resources for developing advertising sales programs and sales people. To fill a website with advertisements that are relevant to the topics discussed, webmasters implement a brief script on the websites' pages. Websites that are content-rich have been very successful with this advertising program, as noted in a number of publisher case studies on the AdSense website.
Some webmasters invest significant effort into maximizing their own AdSense income. They do this in three ways:
  1. They use a wide range of traffic-generating techniques, including but not limited to online advertising.
  2. They build valuable content on their websites that attracts AdSense advertisements, which pay out the most when they are clicked.
  3. They use text content on their websites that encourages visitors to click on advertisements. Note that Google prohibits webmasters from using phrases like "Click on my AdSense ads" to increase click rates. The phrases accepted are "Sponsored Links" and "Advertisements".
The source of all AdSense income is the AdWords program, which in turn has a complex pricing model based on a Vickrey second price auction. AdSense commands an advertiser to submit a sealed bid (i.e., a bid not observable by competitors). Additionally, for any given click received, advertisers only pay one bid increment above the second-highest bid. Google currently shares 68% of revenues generated by AdSense with content network partners. 

I'll post tips and tricks using adsense soon...

Why Hard to Hit a Fly

How many times have you managed to swat a fly by hand? Difficult is not it? The secret behind this ability has now been known explanation. 
 
For 20 years researching biomechanics wing flies, Michael Dickinson of the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) recently solved it today. That was because he was always curious about the simple question and often asked people she met.

"Now I have the answer," said Dickinson, who conducted the study with Esther M. and Abe M. Zarem. He discovered the secret maneuver after record number of blow flies that threatened using a digital camera that can record speed and high resolution. They found that flies can identify threats based on location. His brain will calculate how far the threats against him before deciding to flapping wings and fled.






After predicting the direction of the threat, foot rests to fly in the opposite direction. All the preparation can be done to get away very quickly, just 100 milliseconds after it detects a hazard.
"This shows how quickly the fly brain to process sensory information into an appropriate response to the movement," said Dickinson. In fact, flies regulate posture as a big threat.







That is, the fly has integrated well between visual information from eyes and metasensorik information on his feet. These findings provide clues about the nervous system of flies and shows that the brain contained the threat position mapping system.

"This is a transformation of stimuli into motion a complex and little subsequent research to find parts of the brain that govern it," he said.


Of these systems, Dickinson also can recommend the most effective way swat a fly. According to him, hitting the best time flies when her position was not ready to fly, so the time he needs to anticipate these threats are relatively much longer. Of course not easy to perform accurate movements of less than 100 milliseconds.

The water facts







  


Living things which do not require water, from moving or not moving every living creature would need water to survive. Here are some facts about water:
- The amount of water on earth, just like the first time to form. The total amount of water on our planet remains the same for 2 billion years.
- In 100 years time, a water molecule spends 98 years at sea, 20 months as ice, about 2 weeks in lakes and rivers, and less than a week in the atmosphere.
- Water is the only substance found naturally in the earth in three forms: liquid, gas, solid.
- 80% of the earth's water is surface water. The other 20% are either ground water or water vapor atmosphere. Of all water on Earth, only 2.5% of fresh water. More than 90% of the world's fresh water supply is located in Antarctica.
- The total volume of water on earth has about 344 million cubic miles. 315 million cubic kilometers of sea water. 1. 9 million cubic miles of groundwater in the aquifer. 2. Position 7 million cubic miles of frozen in the ice at the poles. 3. 53,000 cubic kilometers of water through the lakes and rivers planet. 4. 4000 cubic kilometers of water atmospheric humidity. 5. 3400 cubic kilometers of water locked in a mortal body.
- The total amount of water in the body of an average adult is 37 liters. 1. The human brain is 75% water. 2. Human bones are 25% water. 3. Human blood is 83% water.
- 75% of chicken is water. 80% of the pineapple is water. 95% of the tomato is water. 70% of the elephant is water.
- Every day, the sun is 1 trillion tons of water evaporate. A tree will produce 265 liters (70 gallons) of water per day in evaporation. An acre of corn will produce 15,000 liters (4000 gallons) of water per day in evaporation.
- 2 / 3 of the water used in the home used in the bathroom.
- Drinking too much water can cause water intoxication. Water intoxication occurs when water levels dilute the sodium in the bloodstream and cause water imbalance in the brain. Water intoxication is most likely occur during periods of intense athletic performance.

Raining Blobs Mystery

In 1994, a strange phenomenon is happening in Oakville, Washington, USA. Areas with a population of about 665 people are surprised by a strange phenomenon that occurred in their areas. Rain fell in heavy, but not the usual rain, but rain mysterious substance in the form gels. The strangeness does not end there, after the mysterious rain subsided, some residents began to experience flu symptoms. What is the mysterious rain cause?
These events occurred exactly on the date of August 7, 1994 in the morning. Residents did not realize that on that day will happen rain. Then, not long after, the rain was falling, but rain is not rain water but a mysterious substance in the form of gels. 
  
Mysterious rain that did not last long. After subsided, residents saw lumps gels were scattered where - where. Because the event was unprecedented in Oakville, so many people who tried to hold the substance in the form of gels. A local policeman said, "The substance is very soft, like holding a lump of jelly in your hands. We know that many strange phenomena in this world, but it's true - really something unusual."
 
 
By late afternoon, most people begin to experience strange symptoms on their bodies. They experienced dizziness - dizziness, nausea, difficulty breathing, and even some residents who until unconscious. Dozens or perhaps hundreds of residents rushed to local hospitals, and that makes surprise is a symptom suffered by every - every resident is different. There are only experiencing flu symptoms, there is suffering from serious vertigo with complications in the eyes, there is also suffering from inner ear infections. Since many who suspect that a mysterious plague epidemic was caused by rain odd, then one resident named Sunny brought the strange substance to the hospital for examination.


After investigation by the hospital, a lab technician to announce the results of lab tests. According to him the substance of human white blood cells megansung, hmm .. similar to the red rain in Kerala, but with different cases. We are not sure whether this is the cause of the epidemic in this region, but we have sent samples to the Washington Health Department for further investigation.
Meanwhile, one other microbiological named Mike McDowell said that if he did not find any biological structure in the substance of it, but he found two types of bacteria that is harmful to humans. One of them attacked the human digestive system, but Mike also can not ensure the kind of bacteria.
Then, from which this substance come from? some people suspect that the mysterious substance derived from human waste being dumped from an airplane komersil.Tetapi, the theory because it got a rebuttal in accordance with FAA regulations, the dirt is removed from commercial aircraft is blue because it is mixed with a special material, while the substance is actually clear.
According to one resident, the rain had flushed the peculiar Oakville 6 times in 3 weeks. Many people are sick and too many animals that die after holding a strange lump it. Residents were then brought samples of these lumps and took it to another microbiological experts, namely Tim Davis.
After investigation, Davis said that he found in a eukaryotic cell clumps, although he has not fully convinced. He said that the eukaryotic cells are cells found in living organisms, especially in animals.
Because cases of this strange lump rain is still a mystery and yet unsolved, comes the speculation about the events that struck the Oakville on August 7, 1994. One of the most popular theory is the chemtrail theory. A resident said that many low-flying military aircraft in their area, sometimes even no black helicopters flying too low through the Oakville area. They suspect that the mysterious substance tersbeut derived from these planes and helicopters.
Unfortunately, their theory until now still has not been proven, although it sounded convincing. However, rain terjadu mysterious substance in Oakville region still holds a mystery until today, and the biggest question that haunts the population of Oakville is Where, how, and why the strange events that hit their area.

The Planaria Worm

The ability of a worm Planaria to regrow severed body parts, caused by a gene. It was discovered by scientists from the University of Nottingham.


This research was inspired by scientists, to be able to make this happen in humans. Thus, it is not impossible if one day humans can regenerate damaged organs or aging.
The study, led by Dr. Aziz Aboobaker, suggesting a gene called 'SMED-prep'. These genes play a role to improve and regenerate limbs like the head and brain of the worm Planaria.


Reported by the Daily Mail, Planaria worm contains adult stem cells that constantly divide and can be changed to replace all lost body cell types. This worm also has a set of genes that work to grow body parts cut off with the right size and in the right place.
"This amazing worm opens our eyes to make more complete observations on tissue regeneration in the worm. This simple Animals can regenerate itself a miraculous way," said Aboobaker.
In this study they found that the presence of SMED-prep is very important so that amputated the head and brain can grow back in the right place.
In addition, stem cells can still be worms 'persuaded' to form the brain cells resulting from the activity of other genes that are not related. Without SMED-prep, these cells do not organize themselves to form a normal brain.
