Home remedies and natural cures: Benefits of health care at home

Home remedies and natural cures or medicines made at home from natural ingredients such as fruits, vegetables, herbs are

catching a lot of attention due to its very nature of cure: simple, no side effects, no chemicals, inexpensive, plus the

pleasure of being able to cure yourself!. Read on for how all this is useful and how people are using these home made methods

in their day to day lives to stay fit and healthy

Genetic clue to brain cancer risk

UK and US scientists identified genetic indicators that someone is at greater risk of developing a glioma - which accounts

for 50% of all brain. 34 SNPs linked with glioma.

Researchers Find Vibrator Use To Be Common, Linked To Sexual Health

Two Indiana University studies conducted among nationally representative samples of adult American men and women show that vibrator use during sexual interactions is common, with use being reported by approximately 53 percent of women and 45 percent of men ages 18 to 60. Not only is vibrator use common, but the two studies also show that vibrator use is associated with more positive sexual function and being more proactive in caring for one's sexual health.

Researchers Create First Targeted Knockout Rats Using Zinc Finger Nuclease Technology

In a paper published in the July 24, 2009 issue of Science, researchers describe the novel application of ZFNs to generate

rats with permanent, heritable gene mutations, paving the way for the development of novel genetically modified animal models

of human disease. ZFN technology will make the generation of such animals faster and will create new opportunities in species

other than mice.

"Until now, rat geneticists lacked a viable technique for 'knocking out,' or mutating, specific genes to understand their

function," said Howard Jacob, Ph.D. Director of the Human and Molecular Genetics Center at the Medical College of Wisconsin.

"This study demonstrates that ZFN technology bypasses the current need to conduct cumbersome experiments involving nuclear

transfer (cloning) or embryonic stem cells and allows rapid creation of new animal models.
