Major Medical Break through
What a Big Break!!!!
Medical Breakthrough
have you ever woundered how X-rays and penecillin was made of how it was discovered? well you will be able to find out right here in this flyer.
Insulin
•The breakthrough: the discovery of the hormone that regulates the level of sugar in the blood.•Moments: in 1921, Canadian doctors Frederick Banting and Charles Best injected insulin into a dog whose pancreas (the organ that produces insulin) had been removed.•Impact: millions of people suffer from diabetes, a disease that limits the body’s natural production or use of insulin.
X-Ray
•The breakthrough: photographing the insides of a human bodies including the skeletons and brains.•Moments: the first picture of a persons insiders was an x-ray taken by Wilhelm Conrad Rontgen in 1895.•Impact: the breakthrough allows the doctors to identify problems within a patients body. Without cutting the patient open.
DNA
•The breakthrough: the discovery of the code that unlocks the secret of how human body develops.•Moments: in 1953, James Waston and Francis Crick discovered that peoples traits or distinguishing features are encoded in DNA.•Impact: the traits encored in DNA are passed from parents to children. These traits can include diseases. Unlocking the code could help prevent the diseases or lead to a cure.
So many Break throughs
There are so many medical break throughs that its hard for scientists to keep track. a lot of people wonder how things are done and how they were made, these are questions that people ask every day. when was the X-ray made, who discovered DNA?
Anesthetics
•The breakthrough: Drugs that can numb the pain.•Moments: nitrous oxide was first used in a medical procedure in 1844 when Horace Wells, an American dentist used it on himself and then extracted his own molar. •Impact: Anesthetics are used over 40 million times a year in the United States.
Transplant
•The breakthrough: healthy organs and tissues give dying patients a new chance at life.•Moments: the first successful organ transplant occurred in 1954, when a man gave me once of his kidneys to his twin brother. •Impact: every year transplants give hope to thousands of people whose organs or tissue are failing.
Antibiotics
•The breakthrough: medication that combat germs.•Moments: in 1928 Alexander Fleming discovered a mold that killed bacteria. It was ;later used to help , make one of today’s most widely used antibiotics. Penicillin. •Impacts: we were once at the mercy of bacteria but today antibiotics fight those that are threaten by bacteria.
