Strangely plain and cheap water can fight the corrosive acid by washing it away!

    Acid attacks now so widespread public need training in helping victims, warn doctors

    Acid attacks are now so prevalent that the public needs to be trained in helping victims, the Royal College of Emergency Medicine (RCEM) has said. The London alone, the number of attacks rocketed from 261 in 2015, to 454 last year, an increase of 73 per cent. Doctors at the RCEM and Barts Health NHS Trust say that bystanders who come to the aid of victims should be taught to quickly remove contaminated clothing and wash off the acid with copious amounts of water, which can lessen scarring and the need for plastic surgery. They also called for legislation to make the carrying of corrosive substances in the street illegal. “The number of high profile “acid” attacks has been increasing in recent years, especially in London,” said Johann Grundlingh consultant emergency physician at Barts Health Trust, writing in the British Medical Journal (BMJ). “The attacks, involving a range of corrosive substances, have brought into sharp focus the need for clinicians, law enforcement officers, and our lawmakers to find ways to deal with this latest menace on our streets. “The assailants’ intention is not to kill, but to maim and disfigure. Corrosive substances now seem to be a replacement for carrying knives. “Bystanders who come to the aid of the victim of an attack can have an important role in minimising further injury.” Home Office Minister Sarah Newton on recent acid attacks 01:03 Carrying corrosive substances is currently legal with no restrictions on volume or strength, although the government is considering changing the law. In 2002, after similar attacks, Bangladesh banned the open sale of acid and imposed stringent punishment of offenders, which saw the number of attacks fall by 15-20 per cent a year. India and Cambodia have also implemented legislation to combat acid attacks but have yet to introduce laws restricting the ease and availability of acid. Last month two teenage boys were arrested following six acid attacks in the streets of London in a 72 minute spree. Just days before a man was arrested for flinging acid into the face of an aspiring model in the capital. Although acid attacks are rarely deadly, victims are often left scarred, blinded and heavily traumatised. The substance used is usually sulphuric or nitric acid and, unlike most other countries, in the UK men are more likely to be victims than women. Since police clamped down on knife crime, gang members frequently conceal acid in water bottles. Chart: Acid attacks across the UK

The utter dependence of the kids in U.S.A, to open their e mail a/c, to verify the weather for the day, to switch on th T.V set, to adjust the volume, to play music etc do not make me feel happy. :(

In future even holding a remote control may become hard work- even though the remote control itself was invented to remove the hard work of walking up and down to the gadgets all the time! :(

[h=3] Artificial skin transplants could be used to treat diabetes [/h]Skin grafts made using CRISPR gene editing are preventing mice from developing diabetes, and scientists claim they could prove beneficial for humans too. In a proof-of-concept study, researchers at the University of Chicago edited stem cells from newborn mice to controllably release glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1). The genetically modified skin grafts were then given to mice that were fed high-fat diets to induce obesity.

    What You Need To Know About Next Week's Full Moon & Lunar Eclipse

    This article was originally published on August 17, 2016. Then, later that day, there will be a partial lunar eclipse that, unfortunately for you U.S.-based stargazers out there, won't be visible. While you'll be able to see only one of these lunar events, you'll be sure to feel the effects of both.

    Researchers create instant hydrogen from water and aluminum

    Hydrogen power seemed all the rage for awhile, until we had to face the practical considerations of using it. Yes, it's clean and abundant, but it's also incredibly difficult to transport. One team may have accidentally found the key to jump starting this struggling economy, though; researchers at the US Army Research Laboratory at Aberdeen Proving Ground Maryland made a chance discovery when they poured water on a new aluminum alloy. It began to give off hydrogen automatically.
