Shocking Science: FBT -Full body transplant

Rekha Sahay2 Comments

Doesn’t it remind us of the Hindu mythology story of lord Ganesha’s head transplant with that of a baby elephant’s , performed by Lord Shiva?

Lots of controversies are going on this issue but scientists claim successful FBT transplant.

Such transplants are banned in many counties in the world but not in India. There is news that this project is going on in India Secretly –

Yours is a short, lean body. But when you wake up after a long slumber, you find your head resting on a tall, broad body. An idea even a bad sci-fi movie won’t take? But Italian neurosurgeon Sergio Canavero is set to perform the world’s first head transplant — on 30-year-old Russian Valery Spridinov, who suffers from a genetic muscle-wasting disease.

चोट

Rekha Sahay28 Comments

शरीर पर लगे

छोटे से छोटे चोट की

मरहम पट्टी हम तुरंत करते है .

पर दिल पर लगे चोट

मन के घाव के लिए

कुछ भी नहीं करते …

क्यों ……??

क्योंकि वह दिखता नहीं ??

I have dyed myself

In the colour of Rama / Lord;

It’s the only die

That doesn’t spoil or run.

All the others, says Kabir,

Fade in the sun,

like a Kite on a string

Growing Saint in the sky.

हमने खोजा ,

बड़ी आवाज़ें दीं.

हर सदा गूँज बन कर

वापस आ गई .

तुमने आने में बड़ी देर कर दी .

यह ज़िंदगी अपनी हीं नहीं रही.

तुम्हें कहाँ शामिल करे ?

Gene discovery may help ‘turn off’ nightmares

Rekha SahayLeave a comment

TOKYO: Scientists have identified a pair of genes that regulate how much one dreams, an advance that may allow them to ‘switch off’ nightmares in the future.

Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, a mysterious stage of sleep in which animals dream, is known to play an important role in maintaining a healthy mental and physical life, but the molecular mechanisms behind this state are barely understood.

A research team led by scientists at the RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics Research (BDR) in Japan has identified a pair of genes that regulate how much REM and non-REM sleep an animal experiences.

During REM sleep, our brain is as active as it is during wakefulness, and this stage is believed to function in memory consolidation.
