2021-08-19 11:34:29 ​​ | What is 'Happy Hyopxia' ? |

Happy hypoxia is when patients have low oxygen saturation, but do not feel any symptoms. They do not get alarmed till the disease has progressed and there is severe damage to lungs.

The phenomenon is particularly seen in younger people because their immunity is high. They withstand some amount of hypoxia and are comfortable even at 81 saturation level. This is the reason for late admissions.

Intresting #Fact

Uranus appears to be a featureless blue ball upon first glance, but this gas giant of the outer solar system is pretty weird upon closer inspection. First, the planet rotates on its side for reasons scientists haven't quite figured out.

The most likely explanation is that it underwent some sort of one or more titanic collisions in the ancient past. In any case, the tilt makes Uranus unique among the solar system planets.

2021-08-17 12:56:04 | How do Nails grow? |

Nails start growing from the nail roots. When the new nail cells are formed, they push out the old nail cells. The old nail cells are the ones we see on our fingers and toes. They harden because of keratin and grow flat on the nail bed. The nail root originates from the cuticle.

#Fact
Shridhar Chillal, from Maharashtra, India holds the Guinness World Record for having the longest fingernails on one hand. When you add up the length of each fingernail on Shridhar's left hand, the total length is 909.6 cm - that's almost 10 meters long (or about the length of two cars)!
