If you refuse to read through my posts you wouldn't have asked this question. There is no entrance examination in TN. I am talking about more than 20 state government aided medical colleges not private colleges. There is no tamil CBSE science books Vernacular education is the primary form of educati...

Prasannasimha, gakkad & supratik, Regarding opposition to NEET coming from southern states is because these states value education more than others. The main reason for this is southern states have less natural resourses & people have always considered education as their only resourse to pro...

Prasannasimha, Assuming Science & Maths are the same worldwide ask a student from californian state education system to write NEET & see how many of the good students get selected. Sitting in a big city & asking a rural student to write NEET is unfair. If MCI is so particular in getting ...

You probably don't know, TN has stopped entrance test few years ago. There is a 15% All India quota in all TN medical colleges. TN wouldn't admit anymore than that. Education is a state subject & each state has deviced its own education system to cater to its need. TN has an education system whi...

Its easy to say about entrance examination based on CBSE for every student in India from a far of place. I come from a reasonably big town in TN (district headquarters) which has a population of 15 lakhs. There are about 2 or 3 CBSE schools for that population. Imagine a student from there who has n...

Students from state board schools & rural students have a significant disadvantage. Why entrance only for medicine? Why not an entrance for engineering, commerce, economics, law, etc? What's the role of school boards? Entrance based on CBSE in english & hindi- there we go why federalism then?

csubash

SC directive to conduct common entrance test is a direct dagger to the spirit of federalism. That too giving 2 days notice is making a mockery of state government's educational roles

Hi, I haven't been watching this thread for a while. I saw something in workplace which is interesting. http://journals.lww.com/oncotimesuk/Fulltext/2012/03000/What_is_the_real_cancer_risk_from_radiation_.1.aspx Everything in life involves taking risk-ie what's the worst risk you can get.

The policy of giving protection and sheltering a leader of some group who is on the run is an old tactic. It gives the protector the ability to control the group. So one can expect, that Pakistanis were trying to control Al Qaeda, Arab jihadists in the region, etc., basically anybody who had pledge...

Something in life makes you happy even though you don't know why. Something in life brings the worst or best in you even though has nothing to do with you. Something in life life makes you a tribe again. Sorry for being drunk.

Jai Hind.

Thanks Somnath for that budget estimates table. Was having a cursory look at the number of educational institutions. While Kerala has 1/10th of AP's or UP's primary schools, even accounting for the population difference the literacy rate is totally opposite. Are these mostly ghost schools?

Hari Seldon, I am not sure what you know of NHS. Even though NHS receives plenty of brickbats in the press it is the one which almost every UKstani will try to protect come what may. If you are a common man or even a person of better means the amount of health security it provides is unmatched. Heal...

That was a wonderful summary Vina. It is true in most parts of TN, NREGS has created a minimum pay scale for any unskilled/semi-skilled labour. I am not sure of other states but TN would easily rank high in one of the most corrupt states in India, but it still manages to grow respectably. GD, once a...

Once again, the miracle cure of stem cells is back. "Unfettered by regulations" is a curse rather than a cure. Unfortunately there is no short cut in researches. Due to desperation of patients, the mushrooming of private stem cell facilities are cheating patients & their relatives. Mos...

RaviBg Karuna & his coterie are probably the most venal bunch you can ever see. Apart from Dayanidhi Maran even though is corrupt to the core atleast has some decency. Less said about M K Azhagiri & T R Balu. I am never a big fan of Rahul G - but if it's him who put the foot down, hats off t...

Hi Sridhar, The question of asking a relative to hold the plate itself is unethical. There should radiation exposure trained/certified personnel to take X-rays.

SanjayM I don't know whether you remember from before the same discussion on stem cell therapy. Apart from cord blood as source of stem cells for bone marrow transplant, there is absolutely no large scale treatment for any disease. There is not even many Phase III trials. To pass off some experiment...

Suraj The Novartis plea as mentioned is just hot air.

hi joey Moles don't disappear usually. If it appears only during summer months it's very very unlikely to be malignant. Keloid or in lay man's term "proud flesh" are excess scar tissue which appears at site of injury(eg.surgical scar) usually in front of chest or near collar bone/neck &...

However the commonest skin cancer called melanoma which develops usually from a mole is uncommon in Indian race, being more common in white skinned caucasian. Having more moles makes y...

Hi Sanjay M, K Mehta, It's true that naevus(moles) represent proliferative potential. Congenital naevus i.e birth marks can be considered as normal tissue in a disorganised fashion. On the other hand acquired naevus can be considered as a beningn tumor with potential for malignant transformation eg....

Hi Sanjay M Agree that drug delivery is an exciting area for pharma companies/researchers. There are drugs which can deliver radiotherapy to just the cancerous cells but not the normal cells. Gamma or beta radiation emitters like yttrium90 or Iodine 131 combined to monoclonal antibodies targetting s...

Oh my god I didn't realise this business of anti-aging cream has gone this far. regarding the daily mail article the company website for peau magnifique states it has telomerase, epidermal growth factor, fibroblast growth factor. Seems a good recipe for skin cancer rather than anti-aging. It costs a...

ksmahesh As SanjayM said folate is needed for regeneration of methionine from homocysteine(homocystenemia causes thrombosis) for which vitamin B12 is needed as cofactor. Methionine is needed for methylation of 5' region of DNA which initiates protein synthesis. Folate is also needed for generating T...

SanjayM I had a read through both the genomic health clinic & mitofusin1 sites. Regarding genomic damage assesment, I am not sure what the test he proposes called cytokenesis block micronuclei(CBMN) assay involves. Whether it involves any DNA stress drugs like Mitomycin & estimating how vuln...

True, we may be behind -- or ahead, if quackery is a skill -- but here's an interesting trial underway: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/6226054.stm Hi SanjayM Yes there are 2 other trials being done. I forget where they are. The pilot work for these were done in 2001/2002. The basic reason why it...

Hi Vipul I am not sure what you mean by testimonial by the patient. This is like an ill man saying that a sadhu cured my illness. You probably would have seen plenty of testimonials from patients saying about the curative potential of naturopathy treatment. Unfortunately they don't constitute eviden...

Hi joey It's upto you to beleive who. When DDM quotes military matters we take it with a pinch of salt. The same holds good for medical matters. It's upto the researcher to prove his research rather than others to disprove it. Anecdotal case reports don't constitute evidence. If it's a proper resear...

Hi joey Funnily I have posted a reply for the news article which never showed up!! Once again I have nothing against such research in India.

Hi Joey Why is that all stem cell research's results in India turn up in DDM rather than scientific journals? Ever thought about it? Most of our experimnets/research in medicine do not have the scientific rigor to stand up in international journals. Don't get me wrong, we still dont have the resourc...

Hi Vipul I mentioned about stem cells in the nukkad thread sometime back.
