Virus to kill HIV Virus

An Australian researcher has developed a gene therapy that turns the HIV virus against itself. The inhibitor (a modified protein) has been tested in the lab and the results were quite promising. Such a treatment could give people infected with HIV the possibility of maintaining a healthy immune system, which means they wouldn't develop AIDS. This is a fantastic breakthrough, but there is still more work to be done.

Digital Protractor :

Digital Protractor :
============
Are you interested in mathematics? OR Are you learning mathematics as your subject in your school or college? If you are having problem while taking exact measurement with your protractor than now you do not need to worry about it because now the technology has developed up to that stage that it has introduced the latest device called Digital protractor with which you can perform absolute measurements. With the help of this protractor even you don’t need to guess for certain angles.

You can measure the absolute measurement only by paying $19.99. This device can measure the angles with more accuracy as compared to previously plastic protractors. While measuring an angle than the user must measure accurate angle if the user made small mistake than the result may not be accurate but this digital protractor helps to find out exact angle as your choice.

Jugular Venous Pressure Measurement (JVP)

Jugular Venous Pressure Measurement (JVP)

The technique for examination for CVP (central venous pressure)
Patient reclining with head elevated 45 °
Measure elevation of neck veins above the sternal angle (Lewis Method).

Add 5 cm to measurement since right atrium is 5 cm below the sternal angle.

Normal CVP <= 8 cm H2O

Light should be tangential to illuminate highlights and shadows.
Neck should not be sharply flexed.

Using a centimeter ruler, measure the vertical distance between the angle of Louis (manubrio sternal joint) and the highest level of jugular vein pulsation. A straight edge intersecting the ruler at a right angle may be helpful.

If the internal jugular vein is not detectable, use the external jugular vein. The internal jugular vein is the preferred site.
