Key things to remember are: the studies are not super accurate but a general approach to speed up the understanding of the torso. I like the approach of using abstract forms of the muscles so I don’t get so caught up in paying attention to every detail and curve of each individual muscle. Also notice how i measured the torso based off the skull(human head). adding and dividing to get proportions.

    FACTOID Human blood becomes blue in colour at 8,600 metres above sea level. At that altitude, the PO2 (or oxygen retention capacity) of human blood drops to 3.2, although professional climbers are still able to function quite well when their blood is at that PO2 level.

    18 Mar 2010 | 2:00 am

  • If you take simvastatin to control cholesterol, watch out for infection, says new report

    18 Mar 2010 | 2:00 am
    Simvastatin might help us control our cholesterol, but when it comes to infection, it's an entirely different story says a new research study. Scientists have shown that simvastatin delivers a one-two punch to the immune system. First it impairs the ability of specialized immune cells, called macrophages, to kill pathogens. Then, it enhances production of molecules, called cytokines, which trigger and sustain inflammation.

  • What is the "Optimal" Diet for Humans? (Part 2)

    17 Mar 2010 | 8:11 pm
    Did we adapt to cooked food, or is that idea—ahem—half-baked? In part 1 of this “optimal human diet” series, I mentioned that there is no single, exact diet that will deliver perfect health for everyone. We’re tough cookies, us humans—and we only made it as far as we did by adapting to whatever happened to land on our evolutionary dinner plates. Mastodon meat, sweet little figs, plant roots—we made food of it all. Even so, there’s a notion in the raw food world that we’re still best-suited for the type of diet we ate back in the good ol’ days. You…

    When I was taking human physiology years ago, the professor warned us that all of physiology came down to chemical interactions, chemistry. This was the dogma of the day. Now I know better. Proteins are usually pretty large molecules, made up of many thousands of atoms. Cells use proteins in a number of ways: The cell membrane separates the outside world from the internal workings of the cell. It builds channels, protein tubes, through membrane to transport some kinds of nutrient and signal molecules Some of them are like gates and open or close the gate base upon the needs of the cell. …

  • Continuous estimates of dynamic cerebral autoregulation during transient hypocapnia and hypercapnia

    Dineen, N. E., Brodie, F G., Robinson, T. G., Panerai, R. B.
    16 Mar 2010 | 7:01 am
    Dynamic cerebral autoregulation (CA) is the transient response of cerebral blood flow (CBF) to rapid blood pressure changes: it improves in hypocapnia and becomes impaired during hypercapnia. Batch-processing techniques have mostly been used to measure CA, providing a single estimate for an entire recording. A new approach to increase the temporal resolution of dynamic CA parameters was applied to transient hypercapnia and hypocapnia to describe the time-varying properties of dynamic CA during these conditions. Thirty healthy subjects (mean ± SD: 25 ± 6 yr, 9 men) were…

  • Acclimation to decompression sickness in rats

    Protection against decompression sickness (DCS) by acclimation to hyperbaric decompression has been hypothesized but never proven. We exposed rats to acclimation dives followed by a stressful "test" dive to determine whether acclimation occurred. Experiments were divided into two phases. Phase 1 rats were exposed to daily acclimation dives of hyperbaric air for 30 min followed by rapid decompression on one of the following regimens: 70 ft of seawater (fsw) for 9 days (L70), 70 fsw for 4 days (S70), 40 fsw for 9 days (L40), 40 fsw for 4 days (S40), or unpressurized sham exposure for 9 days…

Most of the increase has occurred in the mid-and-high latitudes, and there's been little or no increase in tropical regions. The new analysis shows, for example, that at one line of latitude - 32...

    18 Mar 2010 | 11:00 pm
    Scientists imaged cartilage, bone marrow and two types of mineral bone in 20 different skeletal sites from two newborns to learn more about how much radiation is absorbed by the body. They discovered that children have a greater percentage of total mineral bone in direct contact with sensitive bone marrow than do adults. This has implications for radiation treatments and types of chemotherapy used to treat cancer patients, especially therapies targeting pediatric bone cancers.

  • Brain naturally follows scientific method? Less effort to register 'predictable' images

    18 Mar 2010 | 5:00 am
    It turns out that there is a striking similarity between how the human brain determines what is going on in the outside world and the job of scientists. Good science involves formulating a hypothesis and testing whether this hypothesis is compatible with the scientist's observations. Researchers have now shown that this is what the brain does as well. A study shows that it takes less effort for the brain to register predictable as compared to unpredictable images.

    Children whose mothers abused methamphetamine (meth) during pregnancy show brain abnormalities that may be more severe than that of children exposed to alcohol prenatally, according to a new study. While researchers have long known that drug abuse during pregnancy can alter fetal brain development, this finding shows the potential impact of meth. Identifying vulnerable brain structures may help predict particular learning and behavioral problems in meth-exposed children.
