clipper's remarks: Our tax dollars pay for all sorts of inventions, research, etc. All of it may be licensed and sold for a profit and/or improved upon. These are healthcare related - so there is one on a different treatment for AIDS and another for a different way to isolate viruses for vaccine production. Not exactly money for nothing but one of the users reading this might be in the market - eh?

The Relative Size of Things

Back in the 70s or 80s, IBM made a video called The Power of 10, which showed the relative size of things from the universe to the cell and the effect of adding a zero. In other words going from 1 meter to 10 meters to 100 meters and so on.

Now in the age of nanotechnology, and manipulating materials on the molecular scale, it's nice to see an interactive that shows the relative size of the small things. We're talking everything from coffee beans to carbon atoms. With viruses, bacteria, red blood cells and a host of other structures in between.

Cell Size and Scale is made possible by the Genetics Science Learning Center at the University of Utah. It's so great. Go ahead and interact.

Stop Paying for Windows Security; Microsoft's Security Tools Are Good Enough

Stop Paying for Windows Security; Microsoft's Security Tools Are Good Enough

Microsoft Security Essentials is a Great Antivirus Application

The release of Microsoft Security Essentials has changed the landscape of antivirus software. We've finally got a completely free application that protects against viruses, spyware, and other malware—without killing system performance like some of the "suites" tend to do. In my personal experience, it barely slows down the machine and rarely affects my work—and during a deliberate attempt to download some viruses (for testing purposes), it immediately found and blocked them from doing anything.

Stop Whining About "Outbound" Firewalls

Keep Windows Updated

Keep Applications Like Acrobat and Flash Updated, or Uninstall Them

We've got you covered with the five best software update tools for any OS, but my personal recommendation for Windows is for Secunia PSI.

H1N1 Virus Can Be Killed by Acidic Ozone Water

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 02:47:53 GMT

clipper's remarks: This is great!
But with so many supposed alternative "cures" that we've seen around, it's a little hard to trust this new one. Sounds good though and it's always good to keep the hopes up, right?

Scientists have found that acidic ozone water can effectively kill H1N1 viruses, with the advantages that it leaves no environmentally harmful residue and is inexpensive to prepare.

Scientists have found that acidic ozone water can deactivate H1N1 viruses very effectively, offering a promising disinfectant for the millions of people trying to avoid the disease. Acidic ozone water (AOW) is made from regular tap water mixed with a small amount of acid such as hydrochloric acid, along with an ozonized gas that can be produced in the lab. After deactivating the virus, the substance eventually decays into plain water, leaving no residue or harmful materials in the environment.

AOW also has the advantage that it may cost significantly less to prepare compared with chemical disinfectants.

Flu prevention

Take care of your health to reduce or eliminate your risk of contracting the flu. The key is to keep your immune system strong by following these guidelines:

Eliminate sugar and processed foods from your diet. Sugar consumption has an immediate, debilitating effect on your immune system.
Take a high quality source of animal-based omega 3 fats like Krill Oil.
Exercise. Your immune system needs good circulation in order to perform at its best for you.
Optimize your vitamin D levels. Vitamin D deficiency is the likely cause of seasonal flu viruses. Getting an optimal level of vitamin D will help you fight infections of all kinds.
Get plenty of good quality sleep.
Deal with stress effectively. If you feel overwhelmed by stress, your body will not have the reserves it needs to fight infection.
Wash your hands. But not with an antibacterial soap. Use a pure, chemical-free soap.

However, I have been an evolution enthusiast and also an activist for educating public about the theory of evolution for a long time. I could not imagine a better tattoo: Darwin’s finches arranged to look like a butterfly…I got it in 2009–Darwin’s 200th anniversary and On The Origin of Species‘ 150th anniversary.

Making healthcare better

clipper's remarks: Interesting look at the need to move to a more evidence-based approach.

Clip Source: www.nytimes.com

For most of human history

doctors have done more harm than good

Yet patients continued to go to doctors, and many continued to put great in faith in medicine.

There was a strong intuitive logic behind those old treatments

They made a lot more sense on their face than the abstract theories about germs and viruses

In the end, of course, the theories about germs and viruses won out. They had the advantage of being correct, and doctors — haltingly and skeptically, but eventually — embraced them.

But there is one important way in which medicine never quite adopted the scientific method.

once a treatment enters the mainstream — once we know whether it works in certain situations — science is largely left behind. The next questions — when to use it and on which patients — become matters of judgment, not measurement. The decision is, once again, left to a doctor’s informed intuition.

As a result, different doctors frequently end up coming up with different answers to the same question.
