The above study seems to lend credence to the "idle hands" adage.

What's up with the decline in survival rates of heart transplants after 5 years? Is it attributable to rejection? It seems if your body doesn't reject the tissue after a year you'd be good to go. Or maybe people that need heart transplants are generally older and/or less healthy than most and so they tend to die quickly? |

Eventually we'll be able to just extract a little tissue from the person, apply stem cell magic, and build a replacement part out of the person's own cells. Which would hopefully completely eliminate rejection issues. |

I thought they could currently give donor organs a bath in a "stem cell slurry" of sorts to aid in the process? Our wash it first then bathe it. Whatever.
Maybe that doesn't work with a heart, I assume the allotted time for the exchange is pretty tight. |

NASA Announces Plans To Launch Chimpanzee Into Sun
WASHINGTON—In what is being called a crucial step forward in solar exploration, NASA officials announced Wednesday a new mission to launch a chimpanzee directly into the sun. “Chimpanzees are our closest biological relative, so we can learn a great deal by observing how they react to being deposited into the sun’s plasma core,” said NASA Administrator Charles Bolden, adding that the single-occupant capsule would contain sophisticated instruments that would monitor the effects of the sun’s 27 million-degree interior on the physiological functions of the animal. “Hopefully, what we learn from this mission will pave the way for sending human astronauts into the sun on a regular basis.” Bolden went on to suggest that, should humans be successfully launched into the sun, there may one day be a permanent colony there. http://www.theonion.com/articles/nas...nto-sun,36478/ |

I mentioned in the Poison Ivy thread that I recently discovered that I apparently have a pretty severe allergic reaction to wasp stings.
I developed an extremely uncomfortable itch ALL over my body, hives showed up about an hour after I got stung, and a little bit of chest pain. I didn't have any issues with breathing or slowed/sped up heart rate so I don't think I was dealing with anaphylaxis.. Anyway, the reason I'm posting here is to try and glean some more information. One thing I can't figure out is why I would just spontaneously develop this ****ing allergy in the first place.. I've been stung by bees and wasps in the past and never had an issue. The last time I got stung by a wasp I was roughly 11 and only had to deal with my hand swelling up to twice it's size. About two months ago I was stung by a bee and only had a slight pain. Did the exposure to that bee sting make me allergic to all bee/wasp/hornet venom? GIVE ME ANSWERS, FOLLOWERS OF THE SCIENTIFIC ORDER. |
