Clinical Trial
First Clinical Trial in Medicine Changed World HistoryMilton Packer revisits a 1747 medical landmark and its tortuous aftermath - by Milton Packer MDAugust 15, 2018 Clinical investigators spend their entire careers in the hope that they might participate in one or two trials that actually change medical practice. Many researchers fail to achieve that goal. And for those who succeed, the results of their work are often ignored by colleagues for many years. Undoubtedly, if physicians are thinking about pursuing a career as a clinical investigator as a means of achieving a sense o... mais »

[image: elephants] A resurrected gene may protect elephants from cancer *LIF6* instructs damaged cells to self-destruct before the disease has a chance to take hold BY AIMEE CUNNINGHAM 2:23PM, AUGUST 14, 2018 Elephants rarely succumb to cancer. That’s surprising given how large the animals grow and how long they can live, which should provide more opportunities for cells to morph into cancer cells. A newly described gene that was brought back from the dead may take part in protecting the animals from the disease. A deep dive into elephants’ evolutionary history revealed a defunct g...mais »
Stress and Emotions

I found myself completely incapacitated to erect the pillars of my daily life — too cognitively foggy to read and write, too physically weak to work out or even meditate. The temporary disability soon elevated the assault on my mind and body to a new height of anguish: an intens... mais »

Som: antigravidade
Som é um tipo de antigravidade, pois tem massa negativa: estudoPor Natasha Romanzoti, em 13.08.2018 De acordo com um novo estudo da Universidade de Columbia (EUA), o som tem massa negativa, o que significa que sobe muito lentamente para longe, como uma estranha fonte de “antigravidade”. A descoberta quebra o nosso entendimento convencional sobre as ondas sonoras como ondulações sem massa que atravessam a matéria, dando às moléculas um empurrão, mas balanceando qualquer movimento ascendente com um movimento descendente igual e oposto. Os cientistas afirmam que esse é um modelo simples... mais »
