Today is Remembrance Day.
We'd like to take the time to reflect on the courage and bravery of countless people who fought tirelessly in war.
Not only were they battling opposing soldiers, but they were also battling a catalogue of diseases and illnesses, one of which was a very painful condition called trench foot.

Trench foot or immersion foot is a type of tissue damage caused by prolonged exposure to cold and wet conditions. It leads to swelling, pain, and sensory disturbances in the feet. It can lead to damage to the blood vessels, nerves, skin, and muscles.

🧬World Science Day🧬
Here are some of the pioneering scientists from around the world, who through their studies help advance humanity with their work.

In order from top to bottom & left to right.

Shen Kuo - China 🇨🇳

Shen Kuo was an eminent scientist of the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127). He was an all-around scholar of astronomy, literature, physics, chemistry, calendars, geology, meteorology and medical science. He was also an outstanding engineer, an excellent military strategist and a tactful diplomat. He even made milestone contributions to art and literature. So Shen Kuo was well known for being knowledgeable in ancient China.

Meghnad Saha - India 🇮🇳

Born on October 6, 1893 in Dhaka, Bangladesh, Meghnad Saha’s best-known work concerned the thermal ionisation of elements, and it led him to formulate what is known as the Saha Equation. This equation is one of the basic tools for interpretation of the spectra of stars in astrophysics. By studying the spectra of various stars, one can find their temperature and from that, using Saha’s equation, determine the ionisation state of the various elements making up the star.

Marie Maynard Daly - America 🇺🇸

Born on April 16, 1921 Marie was an American biochemist. She was the first African-American woman in the United States to earn a Ph.D. in chemistry (awarded by Columbia University in 1947).[3] Daly made important contributions in four areas of research: the chemistry of histones, protein synthesis, the relationships between cholesterol and hypertension, and creatine's uptake by muscle cells.[4]

Alan Turing - England 🇬🇧

Regarded as the father of computer science and artificial intelligence, Alan Turing was a distinguished mathematician and logician. During WWII, he successfully broke the challenging German Enigma machine codes thereby reducing the duration of war by a couple of years. The scientist, who was convicted for being gay, has been an inspiration for numerous films, plays and novels.

Carlos Juan Finlay - Cuba 🇨🇺

Before Google doodles, we honored important forgotten figures with postage stamps. Carlos Juan Finlay, the Cuban physician who first linked yellow fever to mosquitoes in 1881, has received both tributes. Given the thousands of lives he saved and the decades of scorn he endured, we'd say he deserved them.

Born in Puerto Príncipe, Cuba, Finlay studied abroad before returning to Havana as a general practitioner and ophthalmologist with a penchant for scientific research. At the time, yellow fever still ravaged the tropics, terrorizing populations.

Dmitri Mendeleev - Russia 🇷🇺

Dmitri Mendeleev (8 February 1834 – 2 February 1907) was a chemist who created the periodic table of elements that we use today.

Mendeleev was interested in science from a young age and his mother moved him from their home in Siberia to St Petersburg to make sure that he received a good higher education. After graduating, Mendeleev taught chemistry at school and at university, and published a very popular textbook on the subject.

It was while working on this textbook that he saw patterns when he tried to organise chemical elements logically according to their properties, which led him to create his periodic table by putting elements together according to their atomic weight.

First aid for a burn.

1. Cool the burn under cold running water for at least 20 minutes.

Cooling the burn will reduce pain, swelling and the risk of scarring. The sooner and longer a burn is cooled, the less the impact of the injury.

2. After the burn has been cooled, cover it with cling film or a clean plastic bag.

This helps prevent infection by keeping the area clean. Cling film or plastic bags provide an ideal covering because they don’t stick to the burn and reduce pain by keeping air from the skin’s surface.

3. Call 999 if necessary.

If you can't call 999 get someone else to do it. The burn may need urgent medical treatment. If you’re in any doubt, seek medical advice and always seek medical advice for a baby or child who has been burned.

What if they are burnt through gloves?

If someone is burnt through gloves (or other clothing) don’t try to take off the glove if it is stuck to the burn. This could cause more damage.
Instead, cool the burn through the glove with cold running water for at least 20 minutes and seek urgent medical treatment. If the glove is not stuck to the burn, you can take it off.

I don’t have immediate access to running water. What should I do?

You can use any cold liquid like juice, beer or milk – the aim is to cool the area as quickly as possible using whatever cold liquid is available. Switch to cold running water as soon as you can.

World Mental Health Day - Sunday 10th October 2021 🧠🌍

Depression is the predominant mental health problem worldwide, followed by anxiety, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.

Here is a PET Scan showing the differences in function between a normal brain and one with depression.

The images can clearly show the part of the body being investigated, including any abnormal areas, and can highlight how well certain functions of the body are working.

If you are concerned that you are developing a mental health problem you should seek the advice and support of your GP as a matter of priority.

Dinner & Dissection
​
STATEMENT 4TH OCTOBER 2021
​
Dinner & Dissection is now celebrating 7 years of sell out live shows across the UK. Each year we approach the human body from a different perspective and 2022 will see us look at human anatomy through the lens of Victorian Medicine. Sam Piri is a highly respected outstanding teacher, holds a PGCE, Qualified Teacher Status awarded from Manchester University the highest teaching qualification in the UK, is a former lecturer and lead teacher in teacher training. Sam has over 10 years’ experience in devising and improving education in settings UK wide. Sam produces our live events in conjunction with experts in the their field and successfully markets them to audiences from a spectrum of backgrounds, some academic, some not. The reason our events are so popular is that they bring the magic of learning alive in a way that isn’t achieved in more formal setting. Each year we procure services to schools, colleges, universities and NHS Trusts UK wide which are rebooked year on year. We are firm in the belief that we are the best at what we do. We recognise that the concept of dissection is one that may be divisive and appreciate it is not for everybody. We fail to see how anybody can comment on the quality or content of our live events without attending one.

The human body is an incredible machine, we approach the study of it using the scientific method, the same methodology that produces non-stick frying pans, makes aeroplanes fly and puts a man on the moon. Science does not discriminate on age, race, gender, sexuality or disability and neither do we, together we all share a human body. By exploring our differences we contribute to a more diverse and enriched society.

Human history is littered with stories of love and hate, opinion divides us but education unites us.

We are very much looking forward to another successful live tour in 2022 where we will explore the legacy of times gone by on today’s medical advancements

As an employer we value the work of our highly skilled academic team, our staff and customers should not be subject to torment, abuse or trolling both in person and in the digital space.

Tickets include a 2-course meal along with the dissection of a variety of anatomical specimens as part of the live show and can be purchased at www.dinneranddissection.co.uk

Dinner & Dissection returns for 2022 and we invite you on a journey through Victorian Medicine. Join us as we look back on The Victorian Greats…

A decellularized heart! 🤍 🤍 🤍

This is the future of regenerative medicine. A giant step closer for millions in need of new organs. This is an experimental ""ghost heart"" which has been decellularized.

Decellularization is a tissue engineering technique designed to strip out all the cells from a donor organ, leaving nothing but the connective tissue that used to hold the cells in place.
In other words, a technique which aims the substitution of artificial scaffolds by decellularized organs.

This process is accomplished by circulating detergent-based solutions through the organ walls. Those solutions destroy and remove all the original living cells without affecting the extracellular matrix tissue which, in the end, results in an 'empty' matrix tissue.

This scaffold of connective tissue - called a ""ghost organ"" for its pale and almost translucent appearance - can then be reseeded with a patient's own cells, with the goal of regenerating an organ that can be transplanted into the patient without fear of tissue rejection.

Decellularized tissues have several advantages with respect to the man-made scaffolds since they reproduce much more accurately the structure of the extracellular matrix in which cells live in-vivo, and may even incorporate some of the chemical and mechanical signals which lead the cells to behave in a determined 'realistic' way.
