MORPHINE

Image
Hi Folks!! Follow our blog on  Instagram INTRODUCTION Morphine  is a strong opiate that is found naturally in opium, a dark brown resin produced by drying the latex of opium poppies ( Papaver somniferum ). It is mainly used as an analgesic (pain medication). There are numerous methods used to administer morphine: oral, sublingual via inhalation, injection into a muscle, injection under the skin, or injection into the spinal cord area transdermal or via rectal suppository. It acts directly on the central nervous system (CNS) to induce analgesia and alter perception and emotional response to pain. HISTORY                                                                                                                                                       Morphine was first isolated between 1803 and 1805 by German pharmacist  Friedrich Sertürner . This is believed to be the first isolation of a medicinal alkaloid from a plant. Merck began marketing it commercially in 1827. Morphine was mor

BACKTRACKING OF MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS USING ANCIENT HUMAN DNA

Hi Folks!! Follow our blog on  Instagram Researchers have created the world's largest ancient human gene bank by analyzing the bones and teeth of almost 5,000 humans who lived across Western Europe and Asia up to 34,000 years ago.                    By sequencing ancient human DNA and comparing it to modern-day samples, the international team of experts mapped the historical spread of genes – and diseases – over time as populations migrated. Northern Europe has the highest prevalence of multiple sclerosis ( Multiple sclerosis is a neurodegenerative disease in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the insulation surrounding the nerve fibers of the brain and spinal cord. This causes symptom flares, known as relapses, as well as longer-term degeneration, known as progression) in the world. A new study has found the genes that significantly increase a person's risk of developing multiple sclerosis (MS) were introduced into north-western Europe around 5,000 years ag

THYMUS REMOVAL RISKS

Hi Folks!! Follow our blog on Instagram  LAB IN THE BOX THYMUS REMOVAL RISKS Removing the thymus in adults raises their risk of developing or dying of cancer in comparison with the risk for adults who do not undergo thymus removal according to a study published in  The New England Journal of Medicine  by researchers from Harvard University in Boston, Massachusetts.  The study also shows that thymectomy in adults who have not had a prior infection, cancer diagnosis, or autoimmune disease diagnosis may also place them at higher risk of developing an autoimmune disease. 1420 patients who had undergone thymectomy and 6021 controls were included in the study; 1146 of the patients who had undergone thymectomy had a matched control and were included in the primary cohort. At 5 years after surgery, all-cause mortality was higher in the thymectomy group than in the control group (8.1% vs. 2.8%; relative risk, 2.9; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.7 to 4.8), as was the risk of cancer (7.4% vs. 3.

XPOSAT - STUDY ABOUT BLACKHOLE(A GIST)

Hi Folks!! Follow our blog on Instagram  LAB IN THE BOX XPOSAT - STUDY ABOUT BLACKHOLE (A GIST) Last year was a huge success with Chandrayaan-3. Our ISRO Scientist did a lot of unexpected acts and surprised us all. On January 1st, when this year started, India has proved to be a leading country in the world, not only on land, but also in the sky.  There are a lot of things in our universe that we don't understand. One thing that we don't understand is black holes. These black holes exist in a lot of places in space. From the fact that we are in a black hole, to the fact that all the earth and sun will disappear one day in a black hole, this is something that we don't understand. From the biggest scientist to the modern technology scientist, everyone is looking at this black hole as a mystery. To study this, India has launched a special Mission on January 1st named XPoSat( X-ray Polarimeter Satellite). On January 1st, India launched 10 different satellites throug
