The MRI works but using a magnet to align your water molecules in your head to see which ones do not move. The ones that do not move show where the brain had injury in the brain. The MRI then moves the patient out of the machine and then the results become read by the doctor to tell if the patient had the concussion.

In 1998 Harvard Medical School released a study (as cited by Larsen‚ 1998‚ ¶ 1) showing evidence that a product known as Recombinant Bovine Somatotropin (rBST) increased the chances of humans developing cancer. Bovine Somatotropin is a hormone produced by cattle which is also known as Bovine Growth Hormone. The Recombinant status means it was synthetically produced using recombinant DNA technology.

Title: Isolation and purification of bovine milk α-lactalbumin. Abstract: The Bradford assay‚ a colorimetric protein assay‚ is based on an absorbance shift of the dye Coomassie Brilliant Blue G-250 in which under acidic conditions the red form of the dye is converted into its bluer form to bind to the protein being assayed. The (bound) form of the dye has an absorption spectrum maximum historically held to be at 595 nm. Objective: To determine the technique to a series of protein purification
