DEVONPORT Aquatic swimmer Jacob Templeton will this week head to Adelaide for the 2013 Energy Australia Swimming Championships. DEVONPORT Aquatic swimmer Jacob Templeton will this week head to Adelaide for the 2013 Energy Australia Swimming Championships. Jacob has been classified as a multi-class athlete, due to a degenerative eye disease called retinitis pigmentosa. This means that he will swim in the visually impaired S13 class against Australia's best from the recent Paralympics, including world record holder Matthew Cowdrey. With the Devonport Aquatic Centre being reconstructed, Jacob has had to travel from Burnie to Launceston to train. He is also a year 12 student at St Brendan-Shaw College, which means he has had to overcome the difficult task of balancing his study and training loads. Racing in his favoured events _ the 50 metre and 100m freestyle and butterfly, and the 200m individual medley _ Jacob is keen to show his competition that he is up to the challenge. He has done the majority of his training alone and will use this as encouragement and motivation come race day. Olympic stars including James Magnussen and Alicia Coutts will be competing at the championships, as the multi-class events are intertwined with those … Continue reading →

How to Give Yourself a Japanese Face Massage

Posted: Published on September 24th, 2014

There's been much reported on the art of French facial massage, but the Japanese version calledtsubo is just as effective for de-puffing your skin. According to traditional medicine, pushing down or activating a pressure point releases bad qi, which can correspond to certain health and aesthetic concerns like puffiness. Like the French, the Japanese believe face massagescan help to reduce puffiness and increase micro-circulation to the skin. Sonya Nolasco, a makeup artist from Shiseido, showed us how to perform a Japanese tsubo face massage in seven quick steps. Step One: You can perform the massage with or without moisturizer. Start with the first tsubo, in the center of your forehead. Moving out from there, massage in concentric circles three to six times. Step Two: Now push the toxins (if you believe in them) down your nose, in a sweeping motion. Step Three: Repeat a flicking motion starting from your chin. This is purported to keep the skin around the mouth lifted and enhance the production of collagen. Step Four: With a delicate corkscrew-like motion, push your imaginary toxins toward your ears and away from your face. Step Five: Push from the corner of your mouth up toward your temples. Step … Continue reading →

The South African Chamber of Commerce offered a glimpse into the world of stem-cell therapy at a seminar in Bangkok. Don Margolis from Repair Stem Cells Institute in the United States was the featured speaker at the Aug. 20 workshop at the Rembrandt Hotel & Towers, lecturing on the facts and fiction about stem cells. Margolis stated that stem-cell therapy might become the healing method of the future. Meanwhile, major successes have already been made with cancer or problems with the heart, the lungs, the vocal cords, brain, kidneys, and blood. Unfortunately, there are no significant successes in liver disease or bone disease. In this therapy stem cells are used and for many years is the treatment of choice for various types of cancers, such as leukemia. Either endogenous hematopoietic stem cells or those of a donor (postnatal tissue) can be used for adoptive cell transfer.

GMO Answers Provides an Overview of GMOs in Medicine

Posted: Published on September 24th, 2014

With genetically engineered therapies for the infectious disease, Ebola, currently undergoing testing for safety and efficacy, GMO Answers is highlighting the use of genetic engineering in other biomedical applications. The posts author, Richard Green, also looks at whyGMOs, though used in both agriculture and medicine, are more controversial in agricultural applications. The technology of genetic modification orgenetic engineeringwas first developed in the early 1970s, commercialized in pharmaceutical applications in the early 1980s, and then agricultural applications in the early 1990s. The technology has been around for 40 years. It is hardly new. Perhaps if you compare it to the internal combustion engine it is new, but compared to something as recent and ubiquitous as flat screen HDTVs, DVRs, andWi-Fi-friendly touch screen devices like iPhones and Tablets, it is a time tested technology. In medicine,genetic engineering(GE) is used to make biopharmaceutical drugs. Various organisms are engineered for use as factories to produce the drug product.Bacteriaare the preferred option, as they are the easiest to grow and scale-up for production, but depending on the complexity of the drugs molecular structure, other organisms such as yeasts, mammalian cells,etc., can also be used toexpressthe drug product. The first GE drug approved for use wasinsulin. … Continue reading →
