Using Biotechnology to Detect and Treat Disease

Image
Let it is any disease, ranging from a fever (which is the symptom of many diseases) to HIV, COVID-19, diagnosis at an early stage is very important for giving specific treatment. Whenever I go to a doctor, he asks me things like stomach pain, fever, body pain, headache, running nose, throat pain, etc., then, he checks pulse, then he uses his stethoscope, he then gives all the possible antibiotics! Yes, really, this happens in most cases. Then, if my problem is not fixing up in a week, he'll ask me to take a blood test, this, that, and, all! Nothing wrong in  this, because he can't ask everyone coming to him to take a blood test at the very first sitting, then, no one will visit him back saying he sucks out blood all the time! But, it is okay to have a blood test after a week, but, not after a month! Diagnosing a disease after it had reached a severe stage is comparatively less significant than diagnosing at an early stage. So, how to diagnose? Antigen-Antibody! ...

D ear readers, I apologize that I stopped writing since last year. I don't have any great excuse other than poor planning. It feels so good to write here, after a long (so long, in fact) gap.

And, after 20 years of life under the warmth of my parent’s wings, I have finally managed to spread my own wings, out of the home. BHU entrance gate ( Singhdwar) Institute of Agricultural Sciences BHU Yes, I have come out of my small city , to a big city – Varanasi, which is over 1800km long from my home city this number really obscures me sometimes It feels good in one way yes of course I am one of the 30k students currently enrolled in this majestic mini-city, an education hub harbouring brilliant minds and personalities every year, in every possible field of education that you can think of. But the other? No! It’s not feeling so go...

Book Reading | The Gene: An Intimate History

Image
"This book is the story of the birth, growth, and future of one of the most powerful and dangerous ideas in the history of science: the "gene," the fundamental unit of heredity, and the basic unit of all biological information. I" ~Siddhartha Mukherjee There can be nothing better than reading books but it becomes quite a luxury when we add the time constraint. Having oversubscribed myself to quite a good number of magazines, I find it hard to commit myself for a book. However, the other day while browsing through the non-fiction section of the Public Library I stumbled upon the second book by Siddhartha Mukherjee; The Gene: An Intimate History.   The author has mathematically noted down each milestone in genetic science in this book, rather descriptively. But with all this, the author ensures that his readers do not lose their focus from the fact that study of genes is not anymore just a progressive or evolutionary aspect in science and medicines, rather it is a s...

Egg Facts

Image
That's funny I remember when my parents buy fowl, and remembering my older sis cleaning the fowl we had found eggs of the fowl without the shell tho. And when we used the eggs for breakfast the yolk was orange always found that weird but it's naturally not weird after all ActuallyEgg yolks should be a darker orange, as opposed to the bright yellow. The store brand egg light in color displays that the hen was malnourished, or fed unnatural chemicals/feed. Yolk, orange in color display more nutritional value of a positive and healthier diet feed
