STOP WAR

   In my opinion war is something unavoidable nowadays, but maybe in the future, if society changes or their thinking way changes, will be avoidable.

Because of the wars,  inocent people is dying, and I think that that's unfair. They're losing their homes and lands, but there's something more important than that, is that they're losing their families and childs. We all should do something to stop this.

Man 'frozen to death' comes back to life

26-year-old Justin Smith was walking home from his local bar in Pennsylvania last February, when he faint and stayed reclining unconscious in the snow until the next morning.

 

His father, Don Smith, found him at morning and called the emergency services, but when paramedics arrived Justin was already dead.

He was taken to hospital where doctors thought he could still be revived. Using a procedure usually used to save patients from other illnesses or attacks, doctors were able to revive Justin.

Justin lost all his toes and his little fingers on both hands because of the frostbite, but he has not suffered neurological damage.

Similar proteins protect the skin of humans and turtles, new research shows.

In a genome comparison by a working group of the University Department of Dermatology at MedUni Vienna, discovered that genes for important skin proteins arose in a common ancestor shared by humans and turtles 310 million years ago. 

The aim of the turtle shell is to defend and it clearly distinguishes turtles and tortoises from other reptiles. In the study, the working group investigated the genes responsible for the skin layers of the shell of the European terrapin and a North American species of turtle, in order to compare them with the genes of human skin.

The study findings suggest that a hard shell was formed as the result of mutations in a group of genes known as the Epidermal Differentiation Complex (EDC).


What is remarkable is that the basic organisation of the EDC genes is similar in humans and turtles.
