In recent study British researchers have finally solved the standing puzzle of how human fertilization actually takes place. They revealed that sperms have an appealing sense of direction, smashing into the walls and each other in the race to reach the egg. Male semen contains three hundred to five hundred millions of sperm, but only one sperm isneeded for conception. Sperm swim through the cervix, into the uterus and by the side of the fallopian tubes. When sperm travel through the cervix, different chemical changes mature the sperm to make them capable of fertilizing an egg. Only one sperm becomes able to enter the egg and after that cell membrane hardens and the remaining sperm die. In a joint study by researchers from the University of Warwick and University of Birmingham has found that sperm avoids the middle lane of the female reproductive tract and instead crawl along the channel walls. The sperms also struggle to turn sharp corners and crash into the walls and eac...
Ginseng may help long-standing cancer patients to ward off the tiredness caused by the condition, found researchers from the Mayo Clinic Cancer Centre in US. The regular intake of high doses of the ginseng over two months significantly reduced cancer-related tiredness in patients in comparison to any other medication. Ginseng has long been used as a natural energy booster in traditional Chinese medicine. Fatigue in cancer patients has been associated with the rise in inflammatory cytokines in the immune system plus inadequate regulation levels of the stress-hormone cortical. Until this study, the beneficial effects of ginseng had not been tested extensively against the debilitating fatigue that occurs in more than ninety percent of cancer patients. For their study researchers examined three hundred and forty cancer patients who had completed their treatment at one of forty community medical centers in US. The study participants were given two thousand mi...
