By Ramana Annamraju Observer Reality- New Patient-centric Model by Ramana Annamraju Observer Reality is the most puzzling and unresolved mystery in physics. The one-hundred-year-old Double slit experiment shakes the foundation of reality itself. ( https://youtu.be/hRFQd_fkzws )   The Electrons, Protons, Neutrons are fundamental constituents of the entire matter that includes you and me. These particles act in mysterious and strange ways. One of the strangest things about them is that we do not know what the electrons are doing before observing or measuring. But they appear like magic when "You need ”  them.  Observer (you) plays a critical role in making a reality.  Electrons come to existence as it “ needed”. That became the central theme of the electronic revolution, producing an array of gadgets like Radios, Televisions, computers, iPhones, etc.. I frequently use these words, " need"  or   “as it needed”   or  observer effect , to demonst...

                                                                             By Ramana Annamraju MedBricks “I have done all that I could”    These are the last words of Dr. Anandi Gopal Rao Joshi ( First Indian Physician in America in 1883) While the first overhead electric wires are being deployed in Roselle, New Jersey by Thomas Edison, the new immigrant from India, barely 18  was arriving in the same town.  She was trying to get admission into medical school in the United States. The year is 1883. To give the context of that period, Thomas Edison is at his prime age, India is under British rule, Queen Victoria is at the helm. India’s famous freedom fighter Gandhi, not so famous then, still in high school. Automobiles were not even inven...

 By Ramana Annamraju The saying, "The same blood runs in your veins," is more figurative, but one man took it to heart and went on a mission to save thousands of lives, if not millions around the world. Dr. Charles R. Drew (1904-1950) an African-American, became one of America's most celebrated doctors, lauded for his pioneering work in establishing blood banks.. Charles Drew was allowed to apply for only two U.S. medical schools at the height of segregation. One was Howard University with its associated Freedom Hospital, and the other was Harvard Medical school. But he chose Harvard of Canada, McGill University at Montreal, without all the hassles of U.S. conditional requirements. That turned out to be best for him; first time living in a society where the color lines were not as strictly drawn as they were in the United States. Charles excelled both in academics and athletics at McGill. That is where young Charles started working with British visiting Professor Dr. John...

                                                                By Ramana Annamraju MedBricks  Most know Marie Curie (1876-1934)  was a true woman of science, but few knew, that she was a modern-day entrepreneur, social media influencer, a prolific fundraiser for her times.   Marie Curie made huge contributions in the world of medicine. Curie studied x-rays and x-ray machines and wanted to build mobile x-ray units for World War 1. Polish Born-French immigrant Marie Curie was frustrated by delays in getting funding from the French military, Curie approached the women’s networking group called “Union of Women of France” and bagged funding for her first X-ray mobile jeep., As world war I raging, more Mobile X-ray cars were needed. She went after true angel investors, wealthy P...

By Ramana Annamraju MedBricks Doctors may not know his name, but he is immortal in the field of oncology. Paul Adrien Dirac (1902-1984) was known among his friends as a quiet man with few words. But he was not so quiet in his brain, which was filled with mind-boggling mathematical equations. One such equation has given birth to the present-day Positron Emission Tomography ( PET) scanner. British-born physicist Paul Dirac imagined a universe through his mathematical logic that is filled with antimatter. We don't know the address of the antimatter, but it is exactly the opposite characteristics of the particles that our universe is made of. The "Electron" is a negatively charged particle, whereas the counter particle of the antimatter is "Positron," which is positively charged with the same mass. The same goes with proton and antiProton. On occasions, the antimatter particles seep into our universe with a destructive force. Before Paul Dirac's publication, th...
