  Urology - The Urinary System:...

  The urinary system, also known as the excretory or renal system, plays a crucial role in maintaining the body’s internal balance by regulating the composition of the blood, removing waste products, and ensuring proper fluid and electrolyte levels. It consists of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra, each of which plays an essential role in the formation, storage, and excretion of urine. This system is not only responsible for removing waste products but also for maintaining the body’s homeostasis, which is critical for overall health and function. 
  At the core of the urinary system are the kidneys, which are two bean-shaped organs located near the middle of the back, just below the rib cage. The kidneys filter approximately 200 liters of blood daily, removing waste and excess substances, such as salts and toxins. These waste products are transformed into urine, which is then transported to the bladder for storage. The kidneys also regulate important functions, such as blood pressure, red blood cell production, and calcium levels, by releasing various hormones and enzymes. This intricate process allows the kidneys to maintain the body’s internal balance, ensuring the proper function of organs and tissues. 
  The ureters are muscular tubes that connect the kidneys to the bladder. Their primary role is to transport urine from the kidneys to the bladder through a series of peristaltic movements, which are wave-like contractions that push the urine downward. The bladder is a hollow, muscular organ that serves as a reservoir for urine. As the bladder fills with urine, its walls stretch, and stretch receptors send signals to the brain, prompting the sensation of the need to urinate. When it’s time to void, the bladder contracts and expels the urine through the urethra.

  The environmental crisis will not be solved by battery technology. We are looking for answers in the wrong places. 
   
  Life began with the hydrogenation of CO2, and this is the process we must return to in order to heal the planet. Ground-breaking ongoing research into bacterial processes means our knowledge of bacterial processes is ever-expanding, and we can harness this new knowledge to develop a parallel carbon economy using engineered bacteria for fuel, food, and materials. This would enable rewilding on a vast scale, with the small land footprint of bacterial technologies solving the current conflict in land use between farming and fuel and materials production. 
   
  In this fascinating and illuminating book, Peter Forbes shines a light on this crucial technology and offers a tantalising glimpse at what is possible. To solve the big problems, sometimes you have to think small.

  Malaria - From Silent Killer to...

  Malaria is one of the world’s most enduring and devastating infectious diseases, with a history that spans thousands of years. It is caused by a parasite from the genus Plasmodium and transmitted to humans through the bite of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. The disease affects millions of people annually, with the greatest burden in sub-Saharan Africa, though it also impacts parts of Asia, Latin America, and other regions. Despite decades of global efforts to control it, malaria remains a major public health crisis, with significant social, economic, and health-related consequences. 
  Historically, malaria has been a silent killer, often misunderstood and underreported due to its symptoms’ similarity to those of other illnesses, such as flu or viral infections. For centuries, it was a mystery to scientists and physicians, who struggled to understand its causes and transmission. It was not until the late 19th century that the true nature of malaria was discovered, when scientists like Sir Ronald Ross uncovered the link between mosquitoes and the spread of the disease. This discovery laid the foundation for subsequent efforts in prevention and treatment. 
  The global burden of malaria is staggering, with estimates suggesting that over 200 million cases occur each year, resulting in hundreds of thousands of deaths, mostly among children under five years old. The impact of malaria goes beyond just the number of cases and deaths; it also affects economic development. Countries heavily burdened by malaria face reduced productivity, increased healthcare costs, and hindered education, as children and adults alike are repeatedly affected by the disease.
