I was going to make my own special fish proteolytic mix for flavoring soups. I went to the local oriental market and… Continue reading Covid-19 Protease

Diurnal Variations in Temperature and work potential This image comes to us from Souissi  (2007).  These authors wished to test the hypothesis that the time of day affects the performance a short, all out test of anerobic capacity of skeletal muscles.  This YouTube video gives an idea of how this test works. In infections like… Continue reading Antipyretics

"Each sense receptor responds to different inputs (electromagnetic, mechanical, chemical), transmitting them as signals that travel along nerve cells to the brain. The signals are then processed in the brain, resulting in immediate behaviors or memories. Changes in the structure and functioning of many millions of interconnected nerve cells allow combined inputs to be stored… Continue reading Sense of Smell
