Experimental Biology 2011 - Uterine Transplant : Life Lines

This sub-specialty of physiology compares different species to each other, as well as to members within a species that live in different environments, in order to understand which physiologic features affect the way organisms evolve. I think uterine transplants could be a huge success for women who want a baby but can’t do so because they have something wrong with them. This can make things easier on the mother and baby itself, which can change the rest of both of their lives’. So, I think the uterine transplants could be quite successful. Disorders of the uterus including polyps, fibroids, scarring, etc can lead to infertility requiring would-be parents to either adopt a child or consider hiring a surrogate mother. People get transplants for other organs to help them with their lives. Researchers have now been able to show, for the first time, the feasibility of transplanting a uterus capable of sustaining a normal pregnancy in Sudanese and Ethiopian ewes. Also, the baby could be born with a life changing disorder. Life Lines is a general interest science podcast of The American Physiological Society dedicated to conveying the "phizz" in physiology. Because if she has too many complications she may have to live the rest of her life in even worse condition. Source: I find this post quite interesting, because I’ve wanted to become a midwife when I’m older. A healthy uterus is required for proper implantation of an embryo and development of a fetus. So overall, I think this could be something women should look into if needed. Also, if a woman has a healthy uterus, this could reduce the amount of birth defects to the infant. As well as cut risks down for the expecting mother herself. You can actually watch a video describing this amazing research.

Extra scrutiny for 'grandee grantees'

Vadim Backman no longer relies on coffee to get him through the 100-hour weeks he puts in at his biomedical engineering laboratory at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. Since giving up caffeine, he drops to the floor and does press-ups whenever he needs to clear his head. It certainly takes an alert mind to supervise 20 students, collaborate on clinical trials at 8 hospitals worldwide, and manage 7 grants worth a total of more than US$3 million from the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, Maryland.

At 38, Backman is already a biomedical superstar. He is developing an imaging technology that could detect abnormal structures in cells during the earliest stages of cancer. And a Nature analysis has identified him as one of seven scientists whom the NIH supports with the most grants (see ‘Seven lucky seven’ ). That puts him near the top of a larger group of NIH-supported researchers who will soon be targeted for extra scrutiny beyond the peer-review process.

Would 4 more points on an exam be enough to bring my 89% to an 89.5%?

Good thing it's not a math class...


thats a tough call....you have about a 69% chance it can

University in the UK for a US student?

I am considering applying to schools in the UK and Canada, if they still have slots available for my program. (I'm a US student). So let's give you some information.

Currently, I attend The Pennsylvania State University- University Park
