The use of cosmentic solution may change very soon. The stem cell therapy can soon make it possible. Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, said that the stem cell treatment can take the place of cosmetic surgery and the technique will be free from any side effect or problems that the traditional techniques bring with. In traditional , plastic and reconstructive surgery bags full of saline or silicone are used to plump up breasts. Chunks of fat are taken from one area of the body and grafted into another. The technique brings many problems. The researchers would separate out multi- or pluripotent adult stem cells and grow them in a petri dish. Depending on how they’re grown and what materials they’re grown in, the stem cells can be coaxed into taking on into different specialties, such as fat or cartilage. Those cells would then be injected into the patient, where they would continue to grow and divide, creating a small amount of natural tissue. No surgery is required.

Australian researchers have found out the specific relationship between the gender and colorectal cancer outcomes over time in patients newly diagnosed with the disease. The researchers have found out that female colon cancer patients aged below 50 have much better odds of surviving the disease than their male peers. But the opposite is true of older women with the disease.

The research study presented at the 22nd Annual Meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies has proved that unlimited driving at night impairs an individual’s driving performance. The study, presented at the SLEEP 2008, is based on a study on 14 young men. They drove in three nocturnal driving sessions (3 to 5 a.m., 1 to 5 a.m. and 9 p.m. to 5 a.m.) on an open highway. Inappropriate line crossings in the last hour of driving of each session, sleep variables, self-perceived fatigue and sleepiness were analyzed.
