With the tools and knowledge we have today why do we still have diseases we can not cure?
There is no disease we cannot investigate and see how it works yet we must be realy stupid not to be able to find ways around it.
If anybody states money as the reason
Then how is it that we say our species is intelliigent when it is downright stupid by allowing itself to be trapped in such a silly excuse.

I have been hearing the talk of stem cells lately. I'm not sure if it's for the good or bad, but I'm writing an editorial on this subject for school and was wondering if I can have some opinions..Do you think stem cell research is actually a good idea or not? (Try to stick to one answer) And also tell me why?

people who are paralyzed from neck down can, most times not move conscious muscles in their body, but my wonder is why other muscles like the heart or the ones located around the oesophagus, intestine and stomach, still show signs of muscular activity.

I have really bad muscle and joint pain. Went to this specialist but he is really weird, kinda rude, and I cant understand his accent half the time. Well he proscribed me naproxen. I took it once and it did nothing for me but give me a headache and bad cramps. But later I did some research on it and it says that people that take it are at risk of heart attach and stroke. And for people with heart disease in their family not to take it. I know I remember telling this docotor that heart disease runs in my family. So I stoped taking it.
I was just wondering if anyone else had every taken this medication before?

I'm a radiolography student and the one thing they don't teach us in school is where to start with kVp and mAs. I realize that there can't be a single correct technique chart that works everywhere, but I was wondering if the techs out there that have technique charts at their facilities would mind putting up a copy of their chart so that I can collect them and at least work out some basics to start from. The newer Merrill's has some such charts in it, but there are certain differences, like Merrill's standard SID is 48in. and every clinical site I've been to uses 40in. So I'm sort of at a loss, but I'd really like to learn this...

Can a blood test diagnose things such as brain tumors and cancer? Are blood tests a good way of spotting problems and disease? What part of a blood test would diagnose these things, would it be a full blood count or another specialist test?
