What is the Physiology of Vomiting?
Discussion Regurgitation is a passive expulsion of ingested material out of the mouth. It is a normal part of digestion for ruminants such as cows and camels. Nausea is an unpleasant abdominal perception that the person may describe as feeling ill to the stomach, or feeling like he/she is going to vomit. Anorexia is frequently observed. Nausea is usually associated with decreased stomach activity and motility in the small intestine. Parasympathetic activity may be increased causing pale skin, sweating, hypersalivation and possible vasovagal syndrome (hypotension and bradycardia). Retching or dry heaves is when there are sp...

Science weekly podcast: the Higgs boson, Orion and crabs in pain
There's something physicists haven't told you – until now. This week on Science Weekly we have an extract of Sean Carroll's lecture at the Royal Institution entitled The Particle at the End of the Universe in which he reveals that secret. Sean is a theoretical physicist at Caltech in Pasadena, California. You can watch the whole lecture on YouTube, the Q&A session afterwards, and an interview he gave about what happens next at the Large Hadron Collider.Also this week, Alok Jha meets astronomy blogger Stuart Clark to discuss last week's announcement of a Nasa/European Space Agency Orion collaboration: a programme of missi...

Blood-based biomarkers may lead to earlier diagnosis of Parkinson's disease
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurological condition. At present, it is usually diagnosed only when motor features are present. Hence, there is a need to develop objective and measurable biomarkers to improve PD diagnostics during its earlier stage, prior to its motor onset. In this pilot study, researchers identified and tested the first blood-based circulating microRNA (miRNA) biomarkers for PD.

Identifying Early Molecular Targets Related To The Reprogramming Process In Leprosy Infection To Prevent The Progression Of Infection
Leprosy is a bacterial disease that spreads to muscles and other tissues in the body, causing neurodegeneration and muscle weakness. A new study, published by Cell Press in the journal Cell, reveals that the bacteria responsible for leprosy spread infection by hijacking specialized cells in the adult nervous system, reprogramming them into a stem cell-like state, and converting them to muscle-like cells. These findings could lead to the development of new therapeutic strategies for combating bacterial infections and degenerative diseases as well as new tools for regenerative medicine...

Bath-salt constituent MDPV more like methamphetamine than ecstasy
This article, from the National Institute on Drug Abuse, is complementary to another similar article we recently reviewed, and by some of the same authors. Even though the paper gets super-granular about molecular mechanisms and contains more than most people want to know about how bath salt components — the synthetic cathinones MDPV, methylone, and mephedreone — act at the cellular level, there are some important points to be gleaned from among the weeds: MDPV is the most prevalent synthetic cathinone identified in ER admissions because of bath salt exposure.

New Potential Site For Medications To Target Persistent Seizures In Epileptic Patients
In a promising finding for epileptic patients suffering from persistent seizures known as status epilepticus, researchers reported that new medication could help halt these devastating seizures. To do so, it would have to work directly to antagonize NMDA receptors, the predominant molecular device for controlling synaptic activity and memory function in the brain. "Despite the development of new medications to prevent seizures, status epilepticus remains a life-threatening condition that can cause extensive brain damage in the patients that survive these persistent seizures," said David E...
