Doctor On Duty : Patient Out Of Tragedy

I heard about a cancer which a woman had had, considered incurable by many doctors and hospitals here was saved by my uncle. Wow what an effort.

The lady met my uncle when she was said that you can be cured, but when she met this oncologist she had developed a ray of hope in her mind with the confident speech of the doctor. Boosting the confidence in a patient is one of the important duties of a doctor. Well done and the first step in curing her was done.

He analyses the patient and found his patient suffering from psedomyxoma peritoni. As said before this case was rejected by many hospitals the oncologist with the use of special drugs which acts on the cancer cell leaving behind normal cells. So the cancer cells were targeted leaving the normal cells untouched.

Along with a crew of Doctors they decided to remove the cancer from the body. So the call for the hour was to go for a surgery. During the course of the operation this doctor was monitoring the cancer very dutifully and applied chemotherapy when needed so that the treatment gets carried to the intricate parts effectively.

And finally the patient was cured. The patient was aged 71 and she felt very happy to have been back on normal condition after removal of about 15 kg jelly like substance which was collected in her body.

Oscillations of the Universe

We all have studied the concept of expanding universe. It is said that in the initial stage every matter in the universe was concentrated in a single dense cloud of matter. With the fusion reaction taking place and the pressure mounting up inside the core caused this dense matter to explode with tremendous push outwards.

These caused every particle to move outward and lead to the formation of current universe. This expansion of universe is proved by the Doppler study and also the galaxies repelling each other. Further study on the expansion concept reveals that expansion taking place from one single point.

Further researchers believe that the expansion has limit. The ever expanding universe at a point of time will start contracting. In this process the big player like stars will eat up the smaller bodies present. Over a period contraction will be completed and every particle merges to form the parent atom from which they evolved. Now the entire process repeats itself.

ORGANIC FARMING: FACTS AND FALLACIES

Any method of cultivation that does not use any manufactured chemical (such as urea, pesticides, fungicides, etc.) for raising a crop or during its transit through harvest, storage, processing into foods and distribution is regarded as "organic."

Organic farming is being touted as the panacea for a whole range of maladies afflicting third world rural society. These range from low agricultural output to wasteful dumping of massive doses of farm chemical on cultivated lands as to reach toxic levels. It is cited as being the viable relief from the fatigue of Green Revolution besides heralding holistic solutions to rural poverty alleviation providing employment opportunities to rural women. And it includes claims that organic foods are healthier for human and animal consumption.
