Small Pox
32nd batch - Faculty Of Medicine, Uni. of Ruhuna
Smallpox is a viral infectious disease unique to human.
By the mid 18th century it spread all over the world.

Heart Transplantation
32nd batch - Faculty Of Medicine, Uni. of Ruhuna
The first human heart transplant was performed by Dr. Christian Barnard.
Mr. Tony Huesman was the long lived heart transplant recipient.
The first successful paediatric heart transplant was performed in 1984.

Finger Print
For What?
Use as a signature - The Ancient Babylonian Civilization.
Identification of the criminals - After the 19th century
32nd batch - Faculty Of Medicine, Uni. of Ruhuna
Why?
The patterns which are made by epidermal ridges are unique from person to person.
32nd batch - Faculty Of Medicine, Uni. of Ruhuna
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
Medicine, Uni. of Ruhuna
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 technique

Medical condition can be revealed
Cancers Diabetes conditions Heart disease conditions
There are specific chemicals produced in these conditions & they also secreted in sweat and sebum.

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

Nanotech Medicine to Rebuild Damaged Parts of Human Body
A team of European scientists are able to rebuild damaged parts of human body from scratch & burns using latest developments in nanotechnology
32nd batch - Faculty Of Medicine, Uni. of Ruhuna
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
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.
