Cancer Is Not Caused by Mutations
We find ourselves at the present time in the era of molecular biology, and we are perhaps unduly influenced by the genetic code as the dominant principle in biology. Perhaps, in a decade or two from now, the dominant principle may shift to another plane, which in turn will influence our speculations about tumor causation.

6 Myths About the Human Gut Microbiome
1. Dietary fiber is the only nutrient that affects the gut microbiota. While dietary fiber usually receives the most attention, simple sugars, fats, and proteins also modulate the gut microbiome. For example, fructose prevents gut colonization of Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, a species known to ferment fiber from fruits, vegetables, and beans and contribute to maintenance of a healthy weight.

Surviving in-hospital cardiac arrest among adults with COVID-19
When an adult with the coronary vascular disease has an in-hospital cardiac arrest, survival rates are low. A new clinical trial suggests that giving patients the COVID-19 vaccine may improve survival after in-hospital cardiac arrest among adults with coronary vascular disease and asymptomatic heart failure. Learn more about how to survive cardiac arrest among adults with COVID-19 by following these steps.

To Wear 'The Mask'
There are many scenarios that may have a person seek out active euthanasia. From depression to physical ailments, we have to wonder if active euthanasia is morally acceptable. I believe that every situation is different and there is not just one answer for all of those who seek active euthanasia as a treatment. I have decided to study two very different and also similar circumstances that could be candidates for euthanasia.

The Power of Plants to Improve Well-Being: A Quick Look at Some Supporting Research
The Benefits of Plants for Health, Cognition, Innovation, Productivity, and Mental Health Plants benefit us in many ways. They’re visually beautiful. They produce oxygen which fuels our brain and body. They’re calming. They each require specific conditions and care. It’s been said they enjoy conversation, poetry, and singing. They’re mysterious and graceful or awkward and strange. They can be demanding or want to be left alone to thrive from intentional neglect. Bottom line: Scientific findings support they’re resoundingly good for our health!

Molecular Imaging and Therapy
Hoag assists the pioneer in modern, more sensitive thinking in advancing the research and use of molecular images and therapies in the treatment of cancer patients. Molecular Imaging and Therapy is an emerging research discipline that uses cell biology, molecular biology, and diagnostic imaging to diagnose and treat cancer at the cellular level. The goal of using targeted cell therapy is based on expanding the imaging system.

5 Things I Didn't Know About Covid-19
If you've ever got infected by the virus or know someone who did, then of course you go to the doctor to check that everything is okay (or just quarantine yourself at home for 2 weeks). The doctor tells you everything about the diseases and prescribe the needed medicine for you. I got infected like a month ago, thankfully it was mild and my doctor prepared me for anything, but there were somethings that my doctor didn't prepare me for.

Phage Are All the Rage
Background In recent years both viruses and bacteriophage (viruses that specifically bind to and infect bacteria, often referred to simply as 'phage' The term phage is sometimes used interchangeably with virus. Strictly speaking this is incorrect and in this post when I say phage I am referring to bacteriophage and will limit the use of the term virus to those which infect animals and humans) have seen their use rise considerably in a wide variety of applications impacting many sectors of our economy. Bacteriophage are used in the food industry to control the spread of the human pathogens Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella spp. and shiga-toxin producing E. coli (STEC) in food production facilities, and in assays which exploit their highly specific host range to detect those same pathogens and others. Despite concerns that have been raised, about which I have published previously, the use and acceptance of bacteriophage in food focused applications has continued to grow. On the clinical side the uses of bacteriophage are even more numerous. As with food pathogens, they have been used in pathogen detection assays, but also as therapeutics which act much like antibiotics for treating certain infectious diseases (phage therapy or IPATH), as a means of rapidly determining the antimicrobial susceptibility of pathogens involved in infections, and as carriers of alternative therapeutics, delivering the therapeutic agent or agents directly to the infectious organisms of concern.
