How does the body 'learn' from immunosuppressants to keep an autoimmune condition in remission?

Posted: 27 Jan 2022 08:37 AM PST

For autoimmune conditions where the treatment is immunosuppresants to get the condition into remission, it would seem intuitive that the moment you stop taking the immunosuppresants the condition would return/flare up. But in some cases remission is maintained even when you stop taking the immunosuppresants, which seems counter-intuitive. How does the body 'learn' to stay in remission without the drugs?

Does cellular communication use radio waves or microwaves?

Posted: 27 Jan 2022 11:15 AM PST

May be a stupid question for a subreddit way more scientific than I could ever be, but I'm having trouble finding defined ranges for both radiowaves and microwaves and so I'm also having trouble categorizing cellular communication into either one. I was always pretty sure it was radio but now I'm having doubts from what I'm seeing on the internet.

(I sort of guessed the flair, my bad if it is incorrect)

If you get animal blood on fabric, is simply washing the item enough to mitigate disease risk?

Posted: 27 Jan 2022 01:47 PM PST

If you're helping an injured animal (e.g. bird hit a window) and you get blood on a towel or other item, is it enough to just wash the item in a standard cycle? I know human blood is considered a significant biohazard but not familiar with animal blood.

Asking because I've got a towel with bird blood on it that I just threw in the washing machine (no bleach on hand).

Why do severe injuries often not hurt the instant they happen?

Posted: 26 Jan 2022 11:46 PM PST

When I touch something unbearably hot, I feel the pain almost instantly. I've heard many people who have been shot often don't realize it. I understand that adrenaline masks pain, but how quickly does it take to kick in?

Another example, I smashed my face into the ground (unintentionally) and broke my nose some months ago. The initial impact was painless; I obviously could tell I hit a hard surface, but the only sensation I experienced was the pressure of the ground. Was adrenaline released as I was panicking and falling? Did my body not have enough time to process the pain? I've heard it takes a couple of minutes for adrenaline to be in effect, but of course I'm not an expert.

I'm not sure of this is caused by something else, but I'd love to understand it better.

What does the 'm' refer to in 178m2Hf?

Posted: 27 Jan 2022 10:14 AM PST

I came across the "Hafnium controversy" wikipedia page and am very confused to what 178m2 refers too. My understanding is that 178Hf would be a hafnium nucleus with 178 nucleons, so what on earth does the 'm2' part mean? Does it just mean it's in an excited state or something?

Why didn't whole households die of consumption?

Posted: 26 Jan 2022 11:53 PM PST

In movies and old books, people are often shown with this very long, protracted illness. They're always coughing, and then one day they cough into a white handkerchief and it's stained with blood and you know they're a goner.

But you never see the people they live with get sick or even appear to be concerned about contracting the illness, even though they share the same house and are always in proximity with the sick person. Why is this? And how did the sick person contract it to begin with if it's apparently non-transmissible?

Do screens use more energy depending on the color being displayed?

Posted: 26 Jan 2022 02:46 PM PST

For example, will a cell phone displaying a solid white background die more quickly than one with a solid black background?

How is it possible for turtles (and any other creatures underwater) to yawn underwater?

How does it actually work?

Do other species yawn, and is imitative (dogs maybe), for the same reasons as humans (tired), or something else?

When our adult teeth grow out, do the holes in which they were fill out? If yes, how and when?
