Yes, I know that Evolution is a world wide accepted topic but these points always about makes me doubt whether evolution is real or not
I want to first start by saying that evolution is a hypothesis made by charles darwin. In the late 18th century, naturalist George Louis Leclerc suggested that life on Earth was 75,000 years old and that men had descended from apes. Another step in evolution theory was taken by Erasmus Darwin, Charles Darwin’s grandfather, who said the Earth was millions of years old and that species did evolve, even if he could not explain how. When charles darwin had introduced this topic any information about where we had come was unknown so people believed darwins theory very easily and did not contradict it. the scientists dint even bother to verify the theory until now.
The greatest claim that i can introduce is that evolution has never been observed. Now people will say that we have never see god so how do we know god exists but the truth is that we just assume god to exist there is no proof just like evolution. As for fossils people just find the fossils of different animals and they are so desperate to find a relation they connect different fossils and call it evolution.
Everyone says that we have evolved from apes but where is the proof a couple of fossils of apes and humans proves nothing like that we can say we have evolved from mice after all they are 98% similar to men and apes are also similar around the same percentage.Creationists claim that evolution relies on certain types of evidence that do not give reliable information about the past.
A common objection to evolution is that it is simply too unlikely for life, in its complexity and apparent “design”, to have arisen “by chance”. It is argued that the odds of life having arisen without a deliberate intelligence guiding it are so astronomically low that it is unreasonable not to infer an intelligent designer from the natural world, Even darwin had realised that there are so many questions that could come up about his theory infact when the question about how such a complex organ like eye could be developed one scientist due to lack of proof had said that the eye was designed by god.
Also if we really come from apes then why are other apes alive around the world why dont they become human as well?
Prostate cancer is a common type of cancer in males, but it is highly treatable in the early stages. It begins in the prostate gland, which sits between the penis and the bladder. The prostate gland is a very valuable organ in males that performs a lot of functions. Prostate cancer is the most common type of cancer found in males.
Symptoms
difficulty starting and maintaining urination
a frequent urge to urinate, especially at night
blood in the urine or semen
painful urination
in some cases, pain on ejaculation
difficulty getting or maintaining an erection
pain or discomfort when sitting, if the prostate is enlarged
Possible Causes
diet
smoking
exposure to chemicals, such as the herbicide Agent Orange
A breech pregnancy occurs when the baby (or babies!) is positioned head-up in the woman’s uterus, so the feet are pointed toward the birth canal. About 3-4 pregnancies result in the baby being breech. In a “normal” pregnancy, the baby will automatically turn inside the womb into a head-down position to get ready for birth, so a breech pregnancy presents a few different challenges for both mother and baby.
There are three different types of breech pregnancies: frank, complete, and footling breech, depending on how the baby is positioned in the uterus. With all types of breech pregnancies, the baby is positioned with its bottom toward the birth canal instead of the head.
Reasons for breech baby
if a woman has had several pregnancies
in pregnancies with multiples
if a woman has had a premature birth in the past
if the uterus has too much or too little amniotic fluid, meaning the baby has extra room to move around in or not enough fluid to move around in
if the woman has an abnormally shaped uterus or has other complications, such as fibroids in the uterus
if a woman has placenta previa
baby is not considered breech until around 35 or 36 weeks. In normal pregnancies, a baby usually turns head-down to get into position in preparation for birth. It’s normal for babies to be head-down or even sideways before 35 weeks. After that, though, as the baby gets bigger and runs out of room, it becomes harder for the baby to turn and get into the correct position. Your doctor will be able to tell if your baby is breech by feeling your baby’s position through your stomach. They will also most likely confirm that the baby is breech using an ultrasound in the office and in the hospital before you deliver.
Pneumonia, according to me is a disease that is taken very lightly but the actual disease is very lethal and kills a lot of people around the world. Infact when people are infected with COVID they get pneumonia and die. Pneumonia is an infection that inflames your lungs’ air sacs (alveoli). The air sacs may fill up with fluid or pus, causing symptoms such as a cough, fever, chills and trouble breathing.
Symptoms
Cough, which may produce greenish, yellow or even bloody mucus
Fever, sweating and shaking chills
Shortness Of breath
Rapid, shallow breathing
Sharp or stabbing chest pain that gets worse when you breathe deeply or cough
Loss of appetite, low energy, and fatigue
Nausea and vomiting, especially in small children
Confusion, especially in older people
Bacterial pneumonia, which is the most common form, tends to be more serious than other types of pneumonia with symptoms that require medical care. The symptoms of bacterial pneumonia can develop gradually or suddenly. Fever may rise as high as a dangerous 105 degrees F, with profuse sweating and rapidly increased breathing and pulse rate. Lips and nailbeds may have a bluish color due to lack of oxygen in the blood. A patient’s mental state may be confused or delirious.
The symptoms of viral pneumonia usually develop over a period of several days. Early symptoms are similar to influenza symptoms- fever, a dry cough, headache, muscle pain, and weakness. Within a day or two, the symptoms typically get worse, with increasing cough, shortness of breath and muscle pain. There may be a high fever and there may be blueness of the lips.
One of the biggest and most important science stories of the past few years will probably also be one of the biggest science stories of the next few years. This is the powerful new gene editing technology known as CRISPR.
If you haven’t heard of CRISPER yet, the short explanation goes like this: In the past nine years, scientists have figured out how to exploit a quirk in the immune systems of bacteria to edit genes in otherorganisms — plants, mice, even humans. With CRISPR, they can now make these edits quickly and cheaply, in days rather than weeks or months. (The technology is often known as CRISPR/Cas9 also)
This is a powerful new tool to control which genes get expressed in plants, animals, and even humans; the ability to delete undesirable traits and, potentially, add desirable traits with more precision than ever before.
So far scientists have used it to reduce the severity of deafness in mice, suggesting it could one day be used to treat the same type of hearing loss in people. They’ve created mushrooms that don’t brown easily and edited bone marrow cells in mice to treat sickle- cell anemia. Down the road, CRISPR might help us develop drought-tolerant crops and create powerful new antibiotics. CRISPR could one day even allow us to wipe out entire population of malaria- spreading mosquitoes and ressurect once extinct species like the passenger pigeon.
Abortion is probably the most controversial topic out there. Everyone has different views on whether abortion should be allowed or not. Personally as a women I feel that abortion should be the mothers choice, as the mother has to take care of the baby for the rest of her life. Most people argue that abortion should be banned as that will help in prevention of teen pregnancy but just for that one category why should the others suffer. If someone wants to abort their child they will do so whether they get it done professionally or not. Abortion is not always done because the mother cant take the responsibility of the child there are numerous other reasons like pregnancy due to sexual assault, pregnancy harmful to life of mother or child etc. Of course abortion for the wrong reason example in case the couple is having a girl child but they wanted a boy for these reasons abortion should be banned.
I don’t know about all you but I have always found the female body very fascinating, anyways a placenta is an organ attached to the lining of the womb that delivers oxygen and nutrients to the growing baby. The placenta is crucial to keeping your baby alive and well during pregnancy.
Structureand function
The placenta is a large organ that develops during pregnancy. It is attached to the wall of the uterus, usually at the top or side. The umbilical cord connects the placenta to your baby. Blood from the mother passes through the placenta, filtering oxygen, glucose and other nutrients to your baby via the umbilical cord. The placenta also filters out substances that could be harmful to your baby and removes carbon dioxide and waste products from your baby’s blood. The placenta produces a number of hormones that are needed during pregnancy, such as lactogen, estrogen and progesterone. It keeps the mother’s blood separate from the baby’s blood to protect the baby against infections. Towards the end of the pregnancy, the placenta passes on antibodies to protect the baby after birth.
Location of the placenta
The placenta often develops low in the womb but moves to the side or up as the womb stretches. The position of the placenta will be checked at your 18-week ultrasound. The placenta is expelled from your body after the birth, usually about 5 to 30 minutes after your baby is born. After the baby is born you will continue to have mild contractions. You will have to give one more push to deliver the placenta. Sometimes your abdomen will be massaged or you will be given an injection of oxytocin and the umbilical cord will be gently pulled to help deliver the placenta.
If you have a c section, the doctor will remove the placenta at the same time. It is important that the whole placenta comes out after pregnancy. If any fragments of the placenta stay inside, they will have to be surgically removed to prevent bleeding and infection
Options for placenta after birth
Options for the placenta after the birth
In some cultures, families bury the placenta in a special place.
There is also a rare practice, known as placentophagy, in which women cook and eat the placenta. Some commercial service providers will offer to turn your placenta into capsules for you to swallow.
However, these practices should be treated with caution since there is no regulation in Australia either of these products or the providers of placenta pills.
Recent research shows there are no known health benefits from eating the placenta, but there may be a risk of infection from poor production standards.
Cardiac arrest, sometimes called sudden cardiac arrest, means that your heart suddenly stops beating. This cuts off blood flow to the brain and other organs. It’s an emergency and is deadly if not treated immediately. Call 911 right away!
What exactly happens
Your heart has an electrical system that keeps it beating regularly. Cardiac arrest can strike if the electrical signals go haywire and cause an irregular heartbeat, or arrhythmia. There are different types of arrhythmias, and most aren’t dangerous. One called ventricular fibrillation triggers cardiac arrest the most. If this happens, the heart can’t pump enough blood to your body. That’s life-threatening within minutes.
Symptoms
Cardiac arrest is quick and drastic: You suddenly collapse, lose consciousness, have no pulse, and aren’t breathing. Right before it happens, you could be very tired, dizzy, weak, short of breath, or sick to your stomach. You may pass out or have chest pain. But not always. Cardiac arrest can happen with no warning signs at all.
What causes cardiac arrest
Major blood loss or severe lack of oxygen
Intense exercise, if you have heart problems
Too high levels of potassium or magnesium, which could lead to a deadly heart rhythm
Your genes. You may inherit certain arrhythmias or a tendency to get them.
Changes to your heart’s structure. For instance, an enlarged heart or changes caused by an infection.
But one thing to note is that a cardiac arrest is not a heart attack, aheart attack is where the blood flow to the heart stops whereas in cardiac arrest the heart stops. sometimes heart attacks can trigger a cardiac arrest.
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation commonly known as CPR is an emergency lifesaving procedure performed when the heart stops beating. Immediate CPR can double or triple chances of survival after cardiac arrest. We have seen someone do CPR in movies or maybe in real life too but knowledge of proper CPR is extremely essential because it can save someone’s life. If we go more into detail CPR varies in different people based on their age but this is the basic method of CPR.
Step 1. Call 911
First, check the scene for factors that could put you in danger, such as traffic, fire, or falling masonry. Next, check the person. Do they need help? Tap their shoulder and shout, “Are you OK?” If they are not responding, call 911 or ask a bystander to call 911 before performing CPR.
Step 2. Place the person on their back and open their airway
Place the person carefully on their back and kneel beside their chest. Tilt their head back slightly by lifting their chin. Open their mouth and check for any obstruction, such as food or vomit. Remove any obstruction if it is loose. If it is not loose, trying to grasp it may push it farther into the airway.
Step 3. Check for breathing
Place your ear next the person’s mouth and listen for no more than 10 seconds. If you do not hear breathing, or you only hear occasional gasps, begin CPR. If someone is unconscious but still breathing, do not perform CPR.
Step 4. Perform 30 chest compressions
Place one of your hands on top of the other and clasp them together. With the heel of the hands and straight elbows, push hard and fast in the center of the chest, slightly below the nipples. Push at least 2 inches deep. Compress their chest at a rate of least 100 times per minute. Let the chest rise fully between compressions.
Step 5. Perform two rescue breaths
Making sure their mouth is clear, tilt their head back slightly and lift their chin. Pinch their nose shut, place your mouth fully over theirs, and blow to make their chest rise. If their chest does not rise with the first breath, retilt their head. If their chest still does not rise with a second breath, the person might be choking.
Step 6. Repeat
Repeat the cycle of 30 chest compressions and two rescue breaths until the person starts breathing or help arrives.
We have learnt throughout our lives that mice are used for experiments around the world, but do we really know why mice are used. Is it because they are hated around the world? They is actually a variety of reasons for this. Did you know that mice are 85% genetically similar to humans? Some other features that make them the perfect experimental animals are as follows:-
Adultmice multiply quickly.
They can reproduce as often as every three weeks (they mate on the day they give birth), so scientists have lots of mice to work with. The time between a mouse being born and giving birth (generation time) is short, usually around 10 weeks. This means several generations can be observed at once.
2. The mouse has a short lifespan
The mouse has a short lifespan (one mouse year equals about 30 human years) which means scientists can easily measure the effects of ageing.
3. It is easy to manipulate the mouse genome
It is relatively easy to manipulate the mouse genome, for example, adding or removing a gene to better understand its role in the body. This provides a powerful tool for modelling specific diseases when a mutated gene is known to play a role in the disease.
4. Mice are cost effective
Mice are cost effective because they are cheap and easy to look after. Also the mouse is small, so convenient to house.
But ultimately a mouse is a living thing so there is a lot of controversy surrounding whether mice should be used for experiments or not.
We all know how important female hygiene is. Our private areas are extremely sensitive and infection prone, if we don’t keep our genitals clean these infections can lead to harmful diseases. Some ways to maintain female hygiene are as follows:-
Use fresh towels
Wash and replace towel and washcloths after you use them. Reusing towels isn’t wise because bacteria can cling to these surfaces. And that potentially puts you at risk for an infection
2. Keep the vagina clean and dry
Cotton is breathable, making it an ideal fabric selection for underwear. It can down on moisture as it keeps your skin cool and dry. With breathable fabrics like cotton, you have a reduced risk of bacterial growth and infections. On the flip side, fabrics like satin retain moisture. That reduces airflow, creating irritation and friction. And that encourages yeast and bacteria growth, which can lead to infections. You should also change out of sweaty workout clothing and wet swimsuits to help prevention infections.
3. Stay Clean
It sounds simple but it’s important to wipe from front to back until the toilet paper shows no residue. That will help prevent bacteria from getting into the vagina. Change sanitary pads and tampons regularly during your period. If you’re wearing panty liners, change them frequently. However, if you wear them all the time, you may have some irritation.
4. Don’t use products to clean inside thee vagina
Your vagina knows how to take care of itself. It self-cleans and naturally produces some discharge that helps get rid of germs and bacteria from your body. So, douching or using harsh cleaners or soaps can disrupt your natural pH balance and can irritate your vagina and wash away good bacteria. Plus, douching will only mask the smell—not cure what’s going on. Stick with warm water and mild soap on the vulva.
A major part of our Indian society is unaware of the importance of proper female hygiene causing an increased amount of female hygiene related diseases in India. Hence it is essential to spread awareness and educate everyone about this particular topic
Ovarian cancer is the sixth most common cancer worldwide among women in developed countries and the most lethal of all gynecological related problems. We all must have heard about ovarian cancer but what exactly is Ovarian cancer? Ovarian cancer is when abnormal cells in the ovary begin to multiply out of control and form a tumor. If left untreated, the tumor can spread to other parts of the body. Most women having ovarian cancer live in fear of recurrence, which happens in about 85% of cases. Current treatments offer little hope and survival has remained virtually unchanged for almost three decades. New methods to prevent, detect and treat recurrence are urgently needed.
The biggest problem lies with the fact that the symptoms of ovarian cancer resembles the symptoms of other common problems faced by women. So, it is often ignored and taken lightly. Some of the symptoms include
Abdominal bloating
Menstrual irregularities
Difficulty eating
An increase in urination
Menstrual irregularities
Again having these symptoms doesn’t always signify having a disease but definitely get it checked out to be on the safe side. Usually symptoms these types of symptoms are often temporary and respond to simple treatments in most cases. The symptoms will persist if they’re due to ovarian cancer. Symptoms usually become more severe as the tumor grows. Technology needed to treat ovarian cancer are fairly under developed and less so it is always to have it be diagnosed during the initial stages.
Weight loss obviously varies from person to person, As someone who has lost 25 kilos in a year I feel like I am qualified to give you some tips. Just remember that every body is different what worked for someone else may not work for you but you should not be disheartened and also remember that weight loss is possible. I personally thought i would never lose weight but here i am. These tips I am going to give you are tips that you can adopt into your lifestyle even after you have lost the weight, even if you don’t want to lose weight and you want to maintain these tips, will help you. Also if you want to lose weight start now, you cannot give any excuses as it is your life. If you lose weight it will benefit you and if you continue your unhealthy lifestyle it will affect no one but you.
Change your diet.
I cannot stress how important it is to change your diet. No matter how much you workout if your diet is bad you will never lose weight. First thing you need to do is go to a dietician. These people are professionals, they have learnt how to figure out what is the root cause of the weight gain. One thing you need to remember is that everyone gains weight for a reason. A dietician finds that reason and fixes it. Even if you change your diet and workout less you will see a change in your weight. Usually carbs are the main reason for the increase in weight, so your dietician may ask you to lay off of it for a while. When you suddenly change your diet your body is not able to cope and ends up shedding the fat. I understand how hard it is to not eat your favorite food because I have gone through it but trust me the results are totally worth it.
2. Get at least 30 mins of physical activity a day.
Everyday for at least 30 mins you must do some sort of physical activity. it can be walking, cycling, running, yoga, Pilates, dance or you can even go shopping. Your body needs to move. The human body has not been designed to stay in one position for a long time. By not moving your body you are actually doing harm to your body. The muscles built for movement are wasting away. 30 mins a day is all you need. Of course as you lose more weight the time you allocate for exercise needs to increase as it gets harder to lose weight. I personally hate working out in gyms, so I initially at the start of my weight loss used to dance and then now I do a mix of walking and other workouts for YouTube.
3. Control your snacking
Personally I can talk about this all day. My main problem was snacking. I never ate huge meals, infact I always ate lesser than everyone. But i was a huge snacker. I loved fried food like chips, biscuits, puffs etc. I was a person who ate when I was bored. I could probably finish a huge packet of chips all on my own even now. I also want to say that snacking is not bad, it is essential to snack throughout the day but you must see how much and what you eat. Establishing a control on my mind to help stop snacking was hard but I was able to do it, and I realize that it is harder for some to stop snacking but you can start slow. Its the change that matters. Don’t skip meals because that is going to make you hungrier and in turn is going to make you snack more. Some changes that I brought into my lifestyle were, whenever I was hungry I ate something, never starve yourself. I ate healthier snacks like fruits, nuts, healthy whole wheat biscuits. Ensure that the nuts are unsalted. You need to keep in mind that even the healthy snacks need to be eaten in moderation.
4. Eat homecooked meals
Home cooked meals are the best. They are delicious, nutritious and cost efficient. I cannot deny that fast food or the food you get in restaurants is not good, they are really good but we don’t know what exactly goes into the food. Once in a while food from outside is ok but never make it a habit. You may have noticed that you may eat a lot of food and home and not feel full but if you eat even a little from outside you instantly feel full, this is because of Sodium. The combination of fat, sugar, and lots of sodium (salt) can make fast food tastier to some people. But diets high in sodium can lead to water retention, which is why you may feel puffy, bloated, or swollen after eating fast food.
5. Try to avoid sugar
Did you know that sugar is also known as the ‘White Poison’. Sugar is so tasty but not even its taste can make up for its disadvantages. Increased sugar consumption obviously can lead to diabetes and if you are obese your chances are increased by 75%. In my case I have a family history of diabetes and being obese caused my blood sugar to be really high. I was on the verge of being diabetic but luckily I reduced my blood sugar. Lesser known fact is that most of the fast foods have not only a huge amount of salt but sugar as well.
These are some basic tips that helped me change my life for the better. Nothing is impossible and you are never too late. But first and foremost you need to accept that you are unhealthy and that you need help. So make the first step towards a happier and healthier life.
Ever since we were children we have heard that if we want to save the environment we should follow the 3R’s Reuse, Reduce and Recycle. But have you wondered if recycling is actually good for the environment. You may not know but recycling has many disadvantages. Recycling is really expensive. In order to repurpose certain recycled materials, separate manufacturing plants need to be built and used. This would counteract the advantage recycling has of creating less pollution, since more may actually be generated as a result of the additional factory. It makes us wonder whether it is really worth it to eat the high costs to impact the planet in such a small way over a long period of time? For recycling to work more people need to participate, as the world is getting more advanced more recycling technologies are being introduced but it will take a long time before a significant amount of people start participating. Recycled products are often of lesser quality. Products made from used, repurposed materials simply don’t stand up quality-wise to new material. They’re often fragile and overused. The more a piece of material gets recycled, the worse it gets. Recycling Sites Are Commonly Unsafe, Items thrown into the recycling bin is a form of trash. As with any waste, it has to be transported and processed somewhere. This means there are many locations having potentially hazardous waste. These heaps of trash are grounds for bacteria, disease, and many other diseases. Also recycling sites are also industrial plants. This means they are not without their own forms of pollution. waste produced is frequently mixed with large bodies of water, leading to broader scale pollution. Quite the opposite effect of what recycling advocates are going for. What we can do instead of recycling is we can Reuse. Reusing items is extremely beneficial to the environment because it prevents pollution caused by reducing the need to harvest new raw materials, saves energy also it saves a lot of money.
“Capital punishment is the most premeditated of all murders.” Everyone has different views about capital punishment also known as the death penalty. According to me the death penalty should be given in only very critical situations, eg- if a person keeps repeating the crime even after they have been punished because they clearly show no interest in becoming better and people like this are a constant threat to society. Whether legal or not death penalty is a murder and I believe we have no right to take someone’s life. Criminals who do heinous crimes like murder, rape etc. are supposed to suffer in jail and repent for having done those actions, killing them would do no good. By killing them we are actually letting them go easy. Everyone deserves a second chance because we are humans we can make mistakes. By giving them a second chance I don’t mean freeing them. What I am trying to imply is by placing them in jail they will get a chance to hopefully change for the better. Like Archbishop Desmond Tutu said, “There is no justice in killing in the name of justice,” In case of murder the victims family will not get the victim back the only way they can cope with the immense pain they are going through is by knowing that the killer is suffering in jail. Our justice system must be developed in the way that the right criminal gets the death penalty. But death penalty should be a unanimous choice after all a life is a life. There are many cases where the criminal has done something really bad and they themselves ask for the death penalty because they know that in their cell block whatever they have done will forever haunt them, and if they don’t get the death penalty then end up killing themselves. What we don’t understand are that these criminals are also humans no matter how crazy they are they have a little humanity. It is extremely hard to live with that guilt of doing something wrong.
