Medicine & TechnologyScientists have found that Rabies possess the potential to kill tumor cells. What is the principle of the virus in treating cancer? How did the scientist correlate the virus’ ability to cure cancer?
Laser is a very great adjunct in the treatment of brain cancer. The analysis of brain cancer and extent of tissue removal can be determined through laser.
Could the cure from brain cancer rest in the hands of polio? Scientists from Duke University believe it could be. They have re-engineered the polio virus and actually adapted it to cure brain cancer, with hopes that it could further be modified to even cure other types of cancers, as well.
Four patients involved in experimental trials conducted by Duke University researchers are cancer free after being injected with a modified form of polio virus.
While diabetes is often known as a disease affecting the breakdown of sugar, most do not know about the implications of the disease's affects on the circulatory system. As a disease that limits blood flow, as well as organ health, diabetes has been known to cause other dreaded ailments, that if left unchecked, may have a debilitating effect on a person's life.

A recent study published in the journal Diabetes found that type-one diabetes may affect another organ in children in particular-the brain. The study saw a difference in brain development of children with diabetes, compared with children not suffering from the disease.
