As our knowledge of medicine and the human body continues to improve, so does the average life expectancy of people. It turns out that for many terminal illnesses, we have found a cure. As our exploration of the human body continues to deepen, perhaps immortality will no longer be a legend. This article will introduce you to ten studies that may give you immortality in the future.
10.Blood Factory
Blood is vital to our survival, and excessive blood loss can quickly end life, so blood transfusion is an important medical tool. However, there are two main problems with blood transfusions. First, the blood has to come from someone else, which can lead to blood shortages. Second, everyone has a different blood type, and a wrong blood type can lead to immune system attacks and all kinds of horrific complications. Science has managed to solve both of these problems by creating generic O-type red blood cells. This is the first time such blood has been produced in a laboratory, and it could lead to the end of blood donation and the beginning of industrial production of blood.
As our knowledge of medicine and the human body continues to improve, so does the average life expectancy. We have eradicated diseases, discovered effective treatments, and found cures for diseases that once killed us. Right now, we are accelerating in the practice of keeping human alive, moving towards something close to immortality with technology that sounds like it was ripped straight out of science fiction .
09. Breeding body organ
There are some common sci-fi tropes that are at least somewhat believable. When we see interstellar travel, alien life or food turned into pills, we can imagine the possibility of them becoming part of human life. But some things are a bit far-fetched, like growing human organs in the lab.However, like most things, fact is crazier than fiction because scientists are doing it. Not only are lab-grown organs anatomically identical to those in humans, but these organs also function properly in humans. Both the vagina and the nose have been safely transplanted into the human body and proven to have no side effects .
For the first time in history, a woman born without a vagina has a full body by implanting an artificial vagina. The scientists followed the women for eight years before they were satisfied with the results. During this time, the women and their new organs functioned completely normally without any side effects. Those patients who have lost part of their nose due to skin cancer can also regenerate from skin cells and get a new nose.
08.Reversing Paralysis
Spinal cord injury is one of the worst afflictions human beings suffer. The spinal cord transmits information to every part of the body, so damage to this part often leads to horrific paralysis. In the past, there was little modern medicine could do about this injury. patient spends the rest of his life in limited mobility, often in great pain.
Modern scientists have now been able to restore autonomous movement to people who were considered paralyzed for life. In this exciting experiment, the patient was able to move a previously paralyzed body part after applying electrical pulses to the patient's spinal cord. When combined with traditional physical therapy, the improvement becomes even greater, giving hope to thousands of people around the world who hope to one day walk, run and move again.
07.Reversing the aging process
Scientists have discovered a chemical in the blood of young people that could have a major impact on aging in older adults.This isn't some wild one-off study -- three separate groups have all come to the same conclusion in experiments with mice. In the study, transfusions of young blood reversed age-related declines in memory, learning, brain function, muscle strength and endurance.
Two of the groups even claim to have discovered a single chemical responsible for this age-reversing effect. Since these studies were performed in mice, it remains to be seen whether it will work in humans as well, but the researchers are sure it could. The clinical trial is expected to begin within a few years, which could pave the way for true anti-aging injections.
06.Next Generation Drug Monitoring
No matter how long we have existed as a species, the uncanny forgetfulness and laziness of mankind will prevail forever. Medications are an extremely important part of many people's health, and forgetting to take them can be dangerous, even fatal. A medication monitoring system has been developed that not only ensures that you don't miss another pill, but also tracks how your body responds to the aforementioned medications, providing you and your doctor with detailed information on how your body is reacting, so if anything goes wrong with your medication , you can correct it immediately.
05. Animal Hearts
Heart health is the key to a long and good life. The biggest cause of death in the world is not AIDS or any cancer but heart disease . China The number of people suffering from cardiovascular disease is 330 million, including stroke 13 million, coronary heart disease 11 million, pulmonary heart disease 5 million, heart failure 8.9 million, rheumatic heart disease 2.5 million, congenital heart disease Disease 2 million, lower extremity arterial disease 45.3 million.
However, scientists recently succeeded in transplanting a genetically modified pig heart into a baboon and kept it functioning flawlessly for over a year.The research gives hope to the medical community that animals will one day be able to provide a steady stream of animal hearts (and other organs) for transplantation into humans, greatly extending human lifespans.
04. Reducing stroke disability
Stroke is scary and often fatal. In the absence of death, a stroke can prevent patients from performing basic tasks, greatly affecting their quality of life. Independence and autonomy are almost completely deprived, and patients are unable to control their bodies as they used to. Previously, there were very few treatment options for these people. But now, scientists have used a revolutionary new approach to treating these horrific disabilities, bringing hope to all those affected.
By injecting stem cells into patients' brains, researchers have successfully restored their ability to move their limbs and perform tasks that were previously impossible. Those involved in the study saw this as a very encouraging sign for stroke patients.
03. Print a new heart
We have discussed the enormous impact of heart disease on human life and the importance of organ transplantation to sustain human life. With the continuous innovation of d printing technology, some people in the industry believe that they will be able to print a complete "biological heart" in just 10 years. A team of researchers at the University of Louisiana has made huge strides toward fulfilling that prediction.
By utilizing fat cells and collagen , the team succeeded in printing the working parts of the human heart. They used the airplane analogy to explain why a complete heart couldn't be printed, but had to be done in parts. But with the ability to print parts, 10 years seems like a very reasonable time frame to expect the sum of these parts to be done.
02.Bionic Arm
Since the first cyborgs appeared in science fiction, scientists have been searching for a way to create bionic body parts. Doing so will greatly improve the lives of amputee patients, and each study adds to our understanding of the complex communication system between the brain and muscles. It looks like all the hard work is finally paying off. The brain-pulse-controlled prosthesis known as the DEKA arm is no ordinary accessory, it's a true super gadget.
It was invented by the same people who invented the Segway and it can do such fine , fine tasks like zipping the zip of the coat , taking an egg without breaking it, or using Keys open doors, tasks that sometimes seem difficult even for people with full arms. The bionic arm is also very adaptable, making it an option for people with shoulder, mid- forearm, or mid-upper arm amputees. Unfortunately, those with hand or wrist amputation cannot have a skywalker arm, at least for now.
01.Fake death
This is typical science fiction, and researchers don't like to call it suspended animation. One of the top surgeons at the hospital prefers to call it "emergency preservation and resuscitation," although he admits they are lives on hold. Basically, the patient's blood is replaced with a very cold saline solution, creating an induced hypothermia that nearly stops all cellular activity. In other words, it's like turning on a switch that turns off a vital system in the body, giving the surgeon more time to fix the problem. According to Peter Lee, who invented the technology, patients aren't necessarily alive during the procedure, but they also aren't dead.
In 2000, Changyong Lee demonstrated this technique on a pig, and it worked.After suspended animation, the pig was then treated and "resurrected". In most cases, their hearts restarted on their own, with no loss of cognitive or physical function. Now, Changyong Lee and his team just have to wait for the right human candidate.
