Videos of the “butterfly children” are difficult to watch. The name comes from the delicate skin of people who have epidermolysis bullosa, which is reminiscent of the fragility of a butterfly’s wings. The slightest touch evokes painful blisters and peeling skin. “I was born with the worst disease you never heard of,” says a young girl, Rafi Lily, in one video. “I know mom doesn’t want to hurt me, but taking off bandages is hard. It feels like fire is beating me up and sharp dogs teet more here http://logicalscience.com/2018/02/gene-therapy-for-the-butterfly-children/

The topic of this blog coincides nicely with Charles Darwin’s birthday week. The techniques that we use to study evolution have changed drastically since Darwin’s time, but we still ask many of the same questions. This week, we’ll be discussing genetics and evolution in one of the dominant malaria mosquito vectors of malaria. Mosquitoes are often cited as the world’s deadliest animal. This is because mosquitoes can carry various types of diseases, including yellow fever, dengue, Zika, and ma more here http://logicalscience.com/2018/02/should-we-worry-about-genetic-diversity-in-mosquitoes/

Neil Harbisson who was color blind had implanted an antenna in to head in 2004 to ‘cure’ his color blindness. The sensor in the antenna has the ability to convert the light waves into vibrations, that could be decoded by his brain. This antenna protrudes from his head. He often claims that he is the world’s first official cyborg and the first of many such ‘non-humans’ or 'cyborgs'. Neil Harbisson, also adds that since his British passport shows him with his antenna, the government conside more here http://logicalscience.com/2018/02/worlds-first-cyborg-says-it-is-time-the-world-start-accepting-people-with-tech-parts/

The most common ear infection is that of the middle ear. Its fancy name is otitis media. It is a common affliction if you happen to be a child under the age of three. In most cases, ear pain is caused by pressure that develops when something interferes with the drainage of the Eustachian tube. This is the tube that runs from your ear to your throat. When you hold your nose and blow while in an airplane, it is the Eustachian tube in which you are trying to force air to "pop" your ears and more here http://logicalscience.com/2018/02/those-pesky-ear-infections-the-science/

A man, called Noah by the international media, has claimed to be a time traveller who has returned from 2030. And what’s spookier is that he has passed a lie-detector test on his predictions on US President Donald Trump and domestic help robots, among others. He has made some bizarre predictions and it is tough to say if it’s mere imagination or a real case of time travel. Noah himself has opted to remain anonymous as he fears that he might be attacked for revealing what holds for the world more here https://logicalscience.com/2018/02/a-time-traveler-who-saw-world-in-2030-passes-lie-detector-test/

A good place for the diabetic to walk is 'well lit area where there are no obstacles or loose items'; items that can hurt a diabetic or increase his/her chances of a fall. Explanation: An individual who has had diabetes for sometime and especially if this diabetes was poorly controlled, will have mild to moderate degree of decrease in ability to see clearly (vision). Many of these patients are above the age of 45 to 50 years and have been physically inactive for some time. An injury or a more here https://logicalscience.com/2017/07/what-special-considerations-should-a-diabetic-observe-when-going-for-a-walk/

If you wince when you brush or eat hot food, you suffer from having sensitive teeth. Even taking cold drinks can trigger tooth sensitivity. This article discusses five common causes of tooth sensitivity and suggests what you can do to change for the better. Vigorous Brushing When you brush energetically, the enamel (hard white substance) on the surface of your teeth gradually wears off. This exposes the microscopic canals in your teeth, and the nerves in there will be exposed to the hot more here http://logicalscience.com/2018/02/5-causes-of-sensitive-teeth/
