Detection of Black Holes01:10

Detection of Black Holes

2.5K
Although black holes were theoretically postulated in the 1920s, they remained outside the domain of observational astronomy until the 1970s.
Their closest cousins are neutron stars, which are composed almost entirely of neutrons packed against each other, making them extremely dense. A neutron star has the same mass as the Sun but its diameter is only a few kilometers. Therefore, the escape velocity from their surface is close to the speed of light.
Not until the 1960s, when the first neutron...

Epistasis

50.2K
In addition to multiple alleles at the same locus influencing traits, numerous genes or alleles at different locations may interact and influence phenotypes in a phenomenon called epistasis. For example, rabbit fur can be black or brown depending on whether the animal is homozygous dominant or heterozygous at a TYRP1 locus. However, if the rabbit is also homozygous recessive at a locus on the tyrosinase gene (TYR), it will have an unshaded coat that appears white, regardless of its TYRP1...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Integrative Oncology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Black salve is an alternative therapy for skin lesions, promoted as a natural skin cancer treatment.
  • Claims of efficacy and safety are not evidence-based, with reported serious complications.
  • The sale of black salve is illegal in Australia.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To educate general practitioners (GPs) about black salve.
  • To enable GPs to discuss black salve risks with patients.
  • To provide an overview of the scientific literature on black salve.

Main Methods:

  • Review of scientific literature on black salve.
  • Analysis of case reports detailing morbidity and mortality.
  • Assessment of online accessibility and promotion of black salve.

Main Results:

  • Case reports indicate significant morbidity and mortality associated with black salve use.
  • Black salve is easily accessible online, with websites endorsing it for skin cancer.
  • GPs are positioned to identify and educate patients on black salve risks.

Conclusions:

  • Black salve poses serious health risks and lacks evidence-based support.
  • GPs play a crucial role in patient education regarding black salve.
  • Awareness and informed discussion are vital for patient safety.
