Activation of thermoreceptors mediates raw garlic's burning pungency

The worldwide popularity of garlic as a food ingredient and its therapeutic stature in folklore both stem in part from the distinctive pungency associated with its raw, uncooked state. Researchers this week report that this pungency, manifested as a characteristic mixture of burning and prickling sensations and flavor, can be ascribed largely to the effects of a particular compound and its abilit...

Molecular thermometers on skin cells detect heat and camphor

The human brain is like a general in a bunker. Floating in its bubble of cerebrospinal fluid, it has no direct window to the outside world, so the only way for the brain to observe, comprehend, and order the body into action is to rely on information it receives. This information comes to it through a sophisticated system of sensory neurons that connect the brain to organs like the eye, ear, nose...

Study Finds Moderate Hypothermia A Safe Treatment For Traumatic Brain Injury In Kids

A first-of-its-kind multi-center trial has shown that cooling the body can have positive affects on children who suffered traumatic brain injury. The study's lead investigator, Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh neurosurgeon P. David Adelson, MD, and fellow researchers determined that induced moderate hypothermia initiated after severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a safe therapeutic inte...

Research reveals inner workings of immune system 'thermostat'

When bacteria, viruses or parasites attack, immune system cells unleash the soldiers. These "hot" protein compounds kill invaders ?but also trigger inflammation, which, if unchecked, can destroy tissue, induce shock and kill the host. So immune system cells let loose another protein compound to cool down the immune response. Precisely how this immune system "thermostat" operates is unclea...

Heart has enough oxygen to survive hypothermia, CPR crucial

Researchers from Norway may have ruled out insufficient oxygen supply to the heart as the critical variable in whether a mammal's heart survives while in a hypothermic state. Writing in the July issue of the American Journal of Physiology-Heart and Circulatory Physiology, researchers found no significant difference in the amount of oxygen available to the heart between rats exposed to one...

Thermal Cycling Profile for Standard PCR

It is very important to denature the template DNA completely. Initial heating of the PCR mixture for 2 minutes at 9495C is enough to completely denature complex genomic DNA so that the primers can anneal to the template as the reaction mix is cooled. If the template DNA is only par...

Blood test developed for malignant hyperthermia

Experts have developed a blood test to determine the genetical predisposition for a rare condition// called malignant hyperthermia. Malignant hyperthermia is an inherited disorder that can affect the patient during or after general anesthesia. This condition may be triggered by volatile anesthetics or depolarizing muscle relaxants that have to work together with a genetical predisposit...

Whole-body hypothermia reduces risk of death in Encephalopathy in infants

Among infants, hypoxic–ischemic encephalopathy due to acute perinatal asphyxia remains an important cause of neurodevelopmental deficits in childhood//. Infants with moderate encephalopathy have a 10% risk of death, and those who survive have a 30% risk of disabilities. 60% of infants with severe encephalopathy die, and many, if not all, survivors are handicapped. Treatment is current...
