The earliest evidence of cancer is found in the fossils of human mummies in ancient Egypt. In earlier days the cause of cancer was not certain hence people blamed the Gods if anyone was affected by cancer [1-5]. According to Hippocrates the human body had four fluids they are blood, phlegm, yellow bile and black bile. If the body fluids were balanced then the person was considered to be healthy...

Beta-Cyclodextrin (BCD), a cyclic oligosaccharide that binds cholesterol and bile acids in vitro, has been previously shown to be an effective plasma cholesterol lowering agent in hamsters and domestic pigs. This study examined the effects of BCD as compared with cholestyramine on cholesterol and bile acid metabolism in the LPN hamster model model for cholesterol gallstones. The incidence of ch...

If string theory describes nature, then charged black holes are not described by the Reissner-Nordstrøm solution. This solution must be modified to include a massive dilaton. In the limit of vanishing dilaton mass, the new solution can be found by a generalization of the Harrison transformation for the Einstein-Maxwell equations. These two solution generating transformations and the resulting b...

Bile is at the center of the traditional medicines of many cultures. For the ancient Greeks and Romans, each of the four macrocosmic elements that comprised the natural world, fire, earth, air, and water, had a specific microcosmic reflection in the four humors from which the body was constructed, yellow bile, black bile, blood, and phlegm. The view that imbalances in these components cause dis...

In congenital nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (cNDI), polyuria and polydipsia are present from birth, as the kidney is unable to concentrate urine despite elevated concentrations of the antidiuretic hormone arginine-vasopressin.1 In ancient Greek medicine, physiology was, needless, to say, an as yet fairly undeveloped specialty among medico-philosophers, based as they were mainly on the Hippocra...
