Finger Print

For What?

Use as a signature - The Ancient Babylonian Civilization.

Identification of the criminals - After the 19th century

Why?

The patterns which are made by epidermal ridges are unique from person to person.

32nd batch - Faculty Of Medicine, Uni. of Ruhuna

Page 22: Recent Medical Adventures

EvolutionTraditional ink fingerprints typically contain rolled and flat prints

Today, digital scanners capture an image of the fingerprint. To create a digital fingerprint, a person places his or her finger on an optical or silicon reader surface and holds it there for a few seconds. The reader converts the information from the scan into digital data patterns. The computer then maps points on the fingerprints and uses those points to search for similar patterns in the database.32nd batch - Faculty Of

Finger print reveals NOT ONLY YOUR IDENTITY, If you have,

history of illegal drug abuse.handled explosives and armed weapons.Even specific medical conditions.

New Gene Therapy to Reverse Heart Failure

¨ The therapy works by raising diminished levels of the protein S100A1, a calcium-sensing protein in the diseased heart muscle cell, to normal.

¨ Previous research suggests this will prevent against heart failure development, particularly in people who have had a heart attack

32nd batch - Faculty Of Medicine, Uni. of Ruhuna

Page 27: Recent Medical Adventures

profile of S100A1 is a unique one as it targets and reverses the underlying causes of heart failure: deterioration of contractile performance electrical instability energy deprivation.

Gene therapy reversesParkinson”s

symptoms

In patients with Parkinson's disease, their brains get overactive after losing the normal supply of a chemical called GABA.

Scientists have developed a novel gene therapy called NLX-P101.

32nd batch - Faculty Of Medicine, Uni. of Ruhuna

Page 29: Recent Medical Adventures

For patients who got the gene therapy, doctors drilled a hole into their brains while they were still awake.

Doctors then slipped in a virus engineered to bring in billions of copies of a gene to help the brain pump out more GABA.

32nd batch - Faculty Of Medicine, Uni. of Ruhuna

Page 30: Recent Medical Adventures

Patients who received NLX-P101 showed a significant reduction in the motor symptoms of Parkinson”s, including

tremor

rigidity

difficulty initiating movement

Page 33: Recent Medical Adventures

Rice University, has developed a new method to connect and reconstruct blood vessels by using nanotechnology.

The flesh welder could weld the artery perfectly.

32nd batch - Faculty Of Medicine, Uni. of Ruhuna

Page 34: Recent Medical Adventures

There is a successful research going on at Rutgers University to produce nanorobots that will be injected into the bloodstream and administer a drug directly to an infected cell.
