"The researchers have not tested the process on humans, and it’s not clear what dosage of dye or delivery method would be necessary. Human skin is about 10 times thicker than that of a mouse, according to the researchers.

“Looking forward, this technology could make veins more visible, easing … the procedure of drawing blood or administering fluids via a needle — especially for elderly patients with veins that are difficult to locate,” said senior author Guosong Hong, a Stanford assistant professor of materials science, via email.

“Moreover, this innovation could assist in the early detection of skin cancer, improve light penetration for deep tissue treatments like photodynamic and photothermal therapies, and make laser-based tattoo removal more straightforward.”"

Yesterday I went out to the beach with my family and it was really fun although I fell on my knees and hurt myself but I still walked! Today I found myself lost so I sat down and wrote down all the important and silly tasks that came to mind and things I wanted to do and more and more are still floating around and I won't be able to finish them all in one day but I want to focus on the more important things so I will finish the simple now

So :

1.Looking for a suitable sports schedule for me

2.I agree with my sister to prepare healthy meals for me in exchange for money (I know how to cook but I hate it)

3.Search for a psychological improvement course (I had it but I don't know where I lost it!)

4.Clean the room

Johnson & Johnson is currently, like right this minute, trying to extend their patent on the TB drug bedaquiline, keeping it out of generic for another four years. TB killed about 30,000 people last week and is the world's deadliest infectious disease.

If this drug does not go generic now it could affect 6 million people in the next four years (the time it would take the "new" patent to run out). Out of those millions of people who get TB, but can't get bedaquiline, most of them will die. From a PREVENTABLE DISEASE.

Why is this happening? Money. But also, because TB is not an issue in countries like the US. We can afford its $1.50 a pill price. But if you live in a poor country, that's too much money to spend on something you need to take for up to four months.

J&J needs to let this drug go public and do its job in places that can't currently afford it. They need to help people, instead of trying to wring the last few drops of money out of one of their many products, at the cost of human lives. @sizzlingsandwichperfection-blog does a waaaay better job of explaining this than me. Check out the video and the video description for links and ways to help!

I took a medical physics exam today. I did well, but I'm still worried because I need a high grade,Because the grade that the physics doctor gave me was a little, and I was shocked.as It was the grade of someone who did not submit reports or was always absent. I objected and some of the students objected. I was really upset,No plans today, just sleep if I want to continue over the coming days

The pharmacologist James Whyte Black was born on 14th June 1924, in Uddingston, Lanarkshire.

During his lifetime James Black was involved in the development of two different treatments, Propranolol, (Inderal) a beta blocker used to treat high blood pressure and Cimetidine ( Tagamet), used for heartburn.

He attended Beath High School where his teacher persuaded him to take the competitive entrance examination for St Andrews University. An intelligent boy, he managed to earn the Patrick Hamilton Residential Scholarship. Going on to study medicine but decided against a career as a doctor instead going on to lecture at University College before moving to Singapore and then back to University of Glasgow

It was in Glasgow Blacko built a research laboratory providing the most advanced cardiovascular technology and developed an interest in the effects of the hormone adrenaline on the human heart.

He was persuaded to leave the academic life and joined ICI Pharmaceuticals in 1958. His years with the company led to some extraordinary discoveries in medical science. He collaborated with scientists in his team to develop propranolol which is a beta blocker used for the treatment of heart disease. The discovery of propranolol is considered one of the greatest breakthroughs in the treatment of heart disease.

Along with the development of propranolol, Black was also working on developing a similar method of treatment for stomach ulcers. However, ICI was not interested in pursuing research in this direction. Thus, Black resigned in 1964 and joined Smith, Kline and French, it was with them he developed a new drug called cimetidine, now you might not have heard of it by that name but the company branded it as Tagamet in 1975, used in the treatment of heartburn and peptic ulcers it became the world’s largest-selling prescription drug.

Black was knighted in 1981 and was awarded the 1988 Nobel Prize in Medicine along with Gertrude B. Elion and George H. Hitchings “for their discoveries of important principles for drug treatment.”

In 2006 Dundee University honoured him with the opening of the Sir James Black Centre, the following year King’s College London followed Dundee by also opening a centre named after Black.

Black died, aged 85, on the morning of 22nd March 2010 after a long illness and is buried at the Ardclach cemetery near Nairn. Upon hearing of Black’s death, Professor Pete Downes, Principal and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Dundee said Black “was a great scientist, but he was also a great man to know” while the BBC said he was “hailed as one of the great Scottish scientists of the 20th Century”. He was described by The Daily Telegraph as the man who earned the most for the pharmaceutical industry through his drug development, though he received little personal financial gain from his work.
