HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a kind of virus which attacks the immune system of human being. Immune system is a natural defense system of the body that protects human from falling ill. If HIV is left untreated for a considerable long time, the immune system of the patient becomes weaker and weaker. Immune system can no longer be able to fight against life threatening infections and diseases. This stage of the patient is called AIDS. It normally takes 10 to 16 years, a HIV infected patient become the AIDS patient. AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) is a set of symptoms and illness that develops at the final stage of HIV infections, if left untreated

But if the HIV patient takes a proper treatment in time, then the people living with HIV can enjoy a long and healthy life


HIV is considered an illness that is never cured. Though there is still no reliable cure for HIV, an early diagnosis can stop the virus from damaging immune system. The timely treatment can help the patient to live a normal as well as long life without progressing to the late state HIV, i.e. AIDS


Recently scientists in US have set a landmark towards the treatment of HIV. It is the first time in the world that a woman with HIV is successfully treated. She is free from the HIV for 14 months now. The woman received cord blood from donor with the mutation that blocks HIV entry into cell in the human body. The stem cell treatment may have cured the woman, the scientists believe. There is needed more research on this method of treatment, the scientists involved in the study say. This method is risky to be suitable for most people infected with HIV

 



The US researchers announced that the new approach is potential for curing more people of racially diverse backgrounds


This is the first case of successful treatment of a HIV infected woman in the world. Prior to this, there have been two known cases of HIV treatment, both of them are/were men. One of them lived virus free for 12 years before he died of cancer in 2020. And the next patient also remained virus free. Both of the men received bone marrow transplant treatment from the donor who carried a mutation that prevented the HIV infection

A young South African boy left his country in 1988 at the age of 17 years to avoid the mandatory military service for the nation. He moved to America and joined University of Pennsylvania in 1992. He took the degree of Physics and Economics. He became American citizen in 2002. In his long journey of entrepreneurship, he founded Space Exploration Technology Corporation (SpaceX) in 2002 with the objectives of producing rockets at more affordable cost

Through the ups and downs, recently his company has lunched its first reusable rockets, which has cut down costs by more than 40%. Elon Musk is currently also working with NASA. It is reported that the tie up saved cost of NASA about US$ 500 million in recent period. His company SpaceX is now handling about 20 out of 3o rocket launches of NASA.

Elon Musk, the founder and CEO of SpaceX is currently working for a unique dream Space project. The project is to build a completely self-sufficient colony on Mars and wants to send about one million people to live there permanently by 2050. He has once said that people living on the earth plant will also live on Mars and shall become a multi planetary species. A trip to Mars will take about seven months to reach there after covering about 480 millions km. He also estimates that a round journey cost to/from Mars shall be about US$ 100,000


Elon Musk said in a interview that this high profile dream project shall need a lot of resources. Therefore he is selling all the homes he owed to collect funds for the project. Reportedly he has sold his last house recently. He says that his homes are the barrier for his  DREAM

Successful Implantation of a Pig's Heart in Human Being   

Story

Recently a team of doctors of University of Meriland Medical Centre in America has set a new milestone in the field of medical science. After performing a 7 hours long operation, the doctors’ team has successfully implanted a pig’s heart in 56 years old David Benet, the heart patient. The body of David Benet responded positively to the new heart. But it is still not clear how long it will work.

Story

The operation has opens a new horizon in the medical science. If it shall fully success, then there shall be a big solution for scarcity of organs for patients. Thanks !!!
