New Digital Veterinary Refractometer has Species Specific Scales
Cleveland, OH (ContentDesk) May 1, 2006 -- MISCO introduces the new VETMED Refractometer; a portable digital testing instrument designed for the analysis of animal blood and urine in a clinical veterinary practice or testing laboratory. The VETMED may be used to instantly and accurately measure urine specific gravity, blood plasma protein concentration, peritoneal, pleural, and other bodily fluids. Veterinarians have long used refractometers designed for humans to test animal blood and urine, says Michael Caminer, MISCO Director of Marketing. However, research has shown that certain species, such as felines, cannot accurately be measured using traditional refractometers. The VETMED instruments are programmed with species specific scales for testing canine and large animal urine, as well as separate scales for testing feline urine. The instruments rely on the proven proprietary optical-engine in MISCOs Palm Abbe Refractometer platform for testing and analysis.A simple, user-friendly...

FrequenSea With Marine Phytoplankton Creating an Amazing Story Relating to Diabetes and Cancer
(ContentDesk) January 23, 2006 -- Marine Phytoplankton created in the ocean is the oldest food known to mankind. A sea farmer named Tom Harper harvests this Phytoplankton for his shellfish. As chance would have it, he became ill with diabetes and a rare cancer. So he did the unthinkable and ate the Phytoplankton. He has now recovered and created the newest superfood available to humans.The sea farm owned by Tom Harper is situated in British Columbia, Canada.
The $30 million dollar facility has the exclusive technology to extract the phytoplankton from the ocean to the land. This is a remarkable achievement considering how tiny these single-celled plants are. Phyto means Light and Plankton means Floating/Suspended .NASA scientists theorize that Phytoplankton are 3 1/2 billion years old or so. These single celled plants have the ability to convert sunlight, warmth, water and minerals into protein, carbohydrates, vitamins, and amino acids. Phytoplankton are responsible for making...

THE ETIOLOGY OF DIABETES MELLITUS
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease characterized by relative or absolute deficiency of insulin, resulting in glucose intolerance. It occurs in 4-5 million persons in the United States (approximately 2% of the population). The classic symptoms of diabetes mellitus result from abnormal glucose metabolism. The lack of insulin activity results in failure of transfer of glucose from the plasma into the cells. This situation so called "starvation in the midst of plenty".
The body responds as if it were in the fasting state, with stimulation of glucogenolysis, gluconeogenesis and lipolysis producing ketone bodies.The glucose absorbed during a meal is not metabolized at the normal rate and therefore accumulates in the blood (hyperglycemia) to be excreted in the urine (glycosuria). Glucose in the urine causes osmotic diuresis, leading to increase urine production (polyuria). Stimulation of protein breakdown to provide amino acids for gluconeogenesis results in muscle wasting and weight...

Cosmeceuticals: The New Wave in Skin Care Solutions
Cosmeceuticals are the new wave in skin care. They are topical cosmetic-pharmaceutical hybrids intended to enhance the health and beauty of the skin. Skin is the largest organ in the body, both by weight and surface area.
In adults, the weight of your skin accounts for about 16% of your total body weight.
The skin separates the internal environment from the external.
It is essential to protect and preserve the skin for your own personal health and self esteem. Cosmetic skin care products only serve to cleanse and beautify. As opposed to cosmetics, cosmeceuticals will alter the structure and function of the skin. Let's take a look at some of the ingredients and the science behind why they work.Centella Asiatica is a botanical agent, which increases collagen production by inducing its precursor enzyme. This ingredient has a shelf life of 6 months, which is why you will not find it in stores.
This amazing material reduces the appearance of stretch marks and...

How Do Plasma Televisions Work?
Plasma TVs have been one of the most popular home entertainment solutions on the market for several years. They offer outstanding resolution and a quality picture and are usually capable of displaying HDTV signals, allowing you to watch all of your favourite HDTV programs. Compared to rear projection TVs, plasma technology offers some of the best viewing angles- no need to fight over the best seat anymore- and offer uniform screen brightness.But how does plasma technology work? It's pretty simple. Some form of inert gas- say Xenon, for example, is inserted between two plates, which are held together, between which are over two million pixels, capable of producing a mind-boggling array of colors. The gas is then energized by a charge which turns it into a viscous substance, creating an ultraviolet light, which allows each pixel to display the appropriate color.
Unlike rear-projection TVs, each pixel in a plasma display contains red, blue, and green phosphors, there is no need for...

The Facts About DLP VS Plasma TVs
With advancing technology revolutionizing the television viewing field, consumers have more choices than ever before. And as is often the case with electronics, it can be confusing. Terms and acronyms are used in the electronics industry that you just don't find anywhere else, and if you aren't careful it can keep you from buying newer technology simply because you don't understand it well. That can certainly be the case with modern TV monitors.
The old analog TV sets of yesteryear did not have to have a very advanced monitor because the TV signal was only so good anyway, So CRT monitors lasted as the screen choice for decades. But now with HDTV moving the entire viewing experience forward in dramatic fashion, better ways of producing the on-screen image is in full production.
Two of those competing screen technologies are plasma TVs and DLPs (digital light processing TVs).
Both types of screen technologies have been around for a while, although DLPs...
