Doctor in Philadelphia Injected HIV into a 6 year old Girl baby suffering from Leukemia.

Emily a six years old baby girl who was suffering from Leukemia was given a Modified form of HIV and the girl's condition became severely ill as her body reacted to the newly introduced external agent but after several hours something remarkable happened.

The Girl was suffering from B-Cell Lymphoma a type of Leukemia in which B - Lymphocytes were infected.

After given chemotherapy for two years there was no improvement in her health condition. So her parents agreed to go with the new experiment so that atleast it could save some others in the future.

Leukemia a type of Blood cancer in which B-Lymphocytes of immune system will undergo rapid multiplication and kill humans.

First the immune cells of Girl's immune system were removed. Then a modified HIV virus was used to carry a modified gene into the "Immune Cells" that could boost the human immune system which will help the immune cells to spot the Cancer infected cells.

Then the Re Engineered immune cells were injected back into the baby.

HIV was here used just because of it's capacity to integrate a new gene into human cells.

"The way how we injected the newly modified gene into T - Lymphocytes (immune cells) is by using a virus.      There is no possibility of getting infected by AIDS and the only property of HIV which still remaining is it's ability to integrate genes into cells " said Pediatric Oncologist Stephan Grupp.

During treatment Emily became severely ill and she was taken to Intensive Care Unit. Due to the new entry of modified cells her immune system started to react against it. So she was given some drugs to block the activity of Immune cells without interfering into the action of the newly modified cells.

And Finally she recovered from her illness and the result was a complete success. The Modified cells tend to remain in her body as a shield against further attack of Cancer.

Hats off to the doctors and the parents who agreed for the experiment..

A new Milestone has been reached in treatment of Cancer

With the development of new medicines the usage of aritificial or synthetic medicines is increasing day by day. The problem with this is that with the more usage of synthetic medicines the more the resistance is developed by the microbes.

A person is encountering an infection due to a microbe for the first time. He uses a drug and gets well from that infection. After some years he gets the same infection but this time the old drug dosage is not working. So he goes for a heavy dosage. Later again he got infected by the same microbe and this time even the heavy dose of drug is not giving a relief. This is because the microbe has developed resistance against the drug administered. But with the further evolution of the microbe its resistance against the drug has increased tremendously. This is called " Super bugs ".

Generally super bugs are not found in the nature by itself. They are formed because of the drug we use. So we are responsible for the formation of drug resistant super bugs.

A Super bug will not respond to any of the known drugs. A person at Delhi was found to have super bug in the year 2011.

Even more vulnerable versions of Tuberculosis were also noted.

If a person  gets infected by a super bug and another normal microbe. Even the normal microbe cannot be destroyed by the medicines since the super bug present will deactivate the effect of the drug administered. So the person is more vulnerable to all other diseases.

So, please avoid over usage of synthetic medicines.

With increasing amount of air pollution people suffering from ACNE is increasing.

Acne is a small pop up in the skin which contains oils and some bacteria.
Usually our skin has tiny pores on it. Our skin contains oil secreting glands called sebaceous glands. These glands secrete an oily substance called sebum. The acne bacteria will feed on this sebum and thus they create acne or pimples.

Acne Vulgaris is prominently found among the people of tropics because of the hotness and high humidity.
When the pores of our skin is clogged the bacteria inside cannot respire as they are aerobic. i.e) These bacteria use oxygen for breaking down their food contents and release carbon di oxide which is simply called as aerobic respiration.

There are many treatment methods to cure Acne. Among those methods one of the simplest and easy one is to use creams.

Usage of Retinoids a type of cream which mostly contains vitamin A and its constituents will possibly reduce the level of Acne.

But as these Retinoids are photosensitive we have to use these creams only during nights and dont leave them applied to your skin for more than two hours.
After two hours wash them away.

If we use it in daylight the contents of the cream will react with sunlight and will make your skin dry.
Better is to avoid self medications for skin problems. For better results consult a dermatologist,

Medical overdosage has become on of the risk factors of human life. Particularly in developing countries like India medical overdose has become a serious problem. People are buying medicines on their own without any prescriptions. They will buy heavy dose medicals if the health is not restored with usual medicines. This is where the problem begins.

Heavy dose medicines may probably restore their health better. So the next time they'll buy the heavy dose in the beginning itself. The Result is the risk of being get toxicated by medicines. Side effects will be worse resulting in a toxic stage or even death

The best and very common examples of Medical over dosage are Paracetamol toxicity and Aspirin poisoning

As these two medicines paracetamol (acetaminophen Generally called doloper ) and 

Aspirin (acetyl salicyclic acid) are drugs used in common they are the major cause of 

medical poisoning.

Have you ever thought that these small Paracetamol can also cause severe harmful effects on your body? Well, most of us would not even believe it, as we have known to use Paracetamol randomly and very regularly. On a Monday morning when we wake up with a mild fever or head ache, we gulp in a Paracetamol and we are good to resume our duties. This is the ease with which we take a Paracetamol. But, it is time we know about this 
other facet of Paracetamol which has been unknown for a long time.


People commonly use paracetamol of 500 milligrams. These tablets should not be used 

continuously. There should atleast 4 hours gap between successive tablets.

Eating paracetamol of 6 grams a day may even lead to death.

Paracetamol overdose is one of the main reason for acute Liver Failure

In general activated carbon is generally to used to cure these as activated carbon has high adsorbing capacity so it will adsorb the toxic medicals from our body

A news has been reported in TamilNadu, India that a person who used to have heavy dose medicines frequently is now suffering from an unknown disease. The effect is that now he cant use any other medicines
In case of medical over dosage consult a doctor or Physician immediately
