A nail is a horn-like envelope covering the tips of the fingers and toes in humans, most non-human primates, and a few other mammals. Nails are similar to claws in other animals. Fingernails and toenails are made of a tough protective protein called keratin. This protein is also found in the hooves and horns of different animals. The mammalian nail, claw, and hoof are all examples of unguis [plural ungues]. The nail also reaches a temperature of 90 degrees F.[1] (See image 4 of the scorpion.) The nail consists of the nail plate, the nail matrix and the nail bed below it, and the grooves surrounding it.[2] The matrix, sometimes called[3] the matrix unguis, keratogenous membrane, nail matrix, or onychostroma, is the tissue (or germinal matrix) which the nail protects.[4] It is the part of the nail bed that is beneath the nail and contains nerves, lymph and blood vessels.[5] The matrix is responsible for producing cells that become the nail plate. The width and thickness of the nail plate is determined by the size, length, and thickness of the matrix, while … Continue reading →

A 72-year-old Honolulu woman may soon be able to boast she has a bionic eye. Click here to watch Catherine Cruz's report. A team of doctors at the Eye Surgery Center of Hawaii performed the life-changing operation Tuesday. Doctors say she lost her eyesight two years ago because of a hereditary disease called retinitis pigmentosa. They hope in a few months she will be able to regain some of her sight--specifically--shapes and movement. "If you can imagine if somebody is in total darkness and they are able to see down a hallway and see someone walk down it is a huge impactful impact on their life," said Dr. Gregg Kokame, who performed the operation. The surgery involves implanting a chip in the eye which paired with a camera attached to a glasses could soon will help make out shades of grey. Not color and fine detail. At least not yet. It apparently has been shown to work on patients who've had eyesight and then lost it. But the co-developer of the technology says it offers hope and some sight, even if you've been blind for years.

Cleveland Clinic Researchers First to Demonstrate Significant Blocking of Opioid Tolerance With Mesenchymal Stem Cell …

Posted: Published on March 25th, 2015

Contact Information Available for logged-in reporters only Newswise March 24, 2015, NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. - Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) transplantation reduced opioid tolerance and opioid-induced hyperalgesia caused by daily morphine injections in rats, according to new research. The results could herald stem cell transplantation as an innovative, safe, efficacious and cost-effective therapy to treat pain and opioid tolerance, said researchers, who presented results in a Plenary Research Highlight session at the 31st Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Pain Medicine. Not only was opioid tolerance prevented when the rats were transplanted with MSC before repeated morphine injections, but tolerance was reversed when the rats were treated after opioid tolerance had developed, results demonstrated. MSCs have a remarkable anti-inflammatory effect and a powerful anti-tolerance effect, said the studys principal investigator, Jianguo Cheng, M.D., Ph.D., who led the research team from the Cleveland Clinic, in Ohio. Although clinical trials are still three to five years away, he said, eventually, The results may apply to millions of patients with a wide range of pain states, including cancer pain and other intractable chronic pain that requires long-term opioid therapy.
