Scientists have discovered after six years of research that—the Protungulatum donnae is the common ancestor to all mammals, from humans to horses to lions
The insect-eating critter reproduced just like us, having a two-horned uterus and a placenta, which held the baby and provided nourishment until it was fully formed like humans or chimps

Labiaplasty
Surgery to reduce the size of Labia Minora
Reasons for seeking Labiaplasty
• Personal hygiene• Interference with
Intercourse• Discomfort while walking,
sitting, cycling, wearing jeans…
• Cosmetic appeal
Reconstruction of labia minora defects secondary to trimming labia reductions is very successful using a combination of clitoral hood flaps, wedge excisions, and YV advancements
• One of the most common female genital aesthetic surgeries today
• JL Walden, plastic surgeon,Texas has done 25-50 procedures annually during past 9 years
• A 2011 study in the Journal of Sexual Medicine shows that male physicians are more likely to recommend cosmetic labiaplasty than their female counterparts

This is Barney & his pregnant ‘MOM”
• This woman in England suffered from anxiety & post-traumatic stress disorder
• She wanted her therapy dog which helped her to stay calm to be present during her birth
• She didn't ask for her husband, but asked for her dog Barney
• The dog was present in LR when she gave birth on 28th January 2013
• There was a lot of backlash among British doctors who said it is unhygienic. The dog might communicate diseases.
• “We should not open the door to every barnyard creature even when the mom-to-be says that she would like to have her pet at her birth”
• But can we make a case for some, such as this woman who has a special relationship with her pet?
• Or a blind woman who wants her guide dog?
“If we can make a case for letting men in the labor room, why can we not let a dog or a cat be there?

• in 1969 Lanza distinguished himself by transferring genes from black chickens to white ones when he was just 14
• Lanza’s team cloned endangered species first
Therapeutic Cloning
• If one can create a human embryo genetically identical to the adult, one can replace any tissue without fear of rejection
• The breakthrough promises cures for several terrible diseases
Lanza has devised a new technique to derive embryonic stem cells in mice, which avoids the destruction of the embryo This technique could shift the moral & ethical aspects of debate on Humans

First ‘Functional Cure’ in HIV
• Baby delivered on 03.03.13 at 35 wks to HIV + Mother who had no prior anti retroviral Trt
• At 30 hours of age, the infant was started on anti-HIV drugs
• HIV + status confirmed by PCR on the 2nd day
• On discharge 1 wk later, combination therapy started
• On Day 29, the infant’s viral load had fallen to < 50 copies of HIV per ml
• five months later, blood sample revealed undetectable HIV levels (less than 20 copies/mL) and no HIV-specific antibodies.
• Ultrasensitive viral RNA and DNA tests revealed extremely low viral levels.
• Presently the child is on no antiretroviral therapy with no identifiable levels of HIV.
• Conclusion: Antiretroviral therapy within the very first few days of life to infants infected with HIV through their mothers via pregnancy or delivery may achieve a “cure”.
• French researchers reported 14 adults who experienced a similar remission from HIV.
• The patients had been off HIV medications for up to 10 years.
• "I know that the U.S. term is 'functional cure’, in France, we speak about 'remission.' … The patient controls the virus, but they still have the virus."
