"If there is an abnormal growth of some sort in your breast it will stand out clearly on the thermographic image as a "hot spot." Although accepted by Duke University, this diagnostic tool is not a mainstream technology. "...The establishment ignores safe and effective alternatives to mammography, particularly trans illumination with infrared scanning," Dr. Epstein points out." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"A typical hot spot is where the left main coronary artery splits into the anterior descending and circumflex arteries. Once cholesterol becomes wedged in the arterial wall, a chemical process may take place in which the fatty molecules are damaged by free radicals to form oxidized LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol. Soon the ever-vigilant immune system takes notice that something is amiss and needs attention. The system goes into action. Local cells surrounding a distressed site release immune chemicals that initiate an inflammatory process." - Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.)

"Another hot spot of biodiversity - and yet another World Heritage Site threatened by global warming - is the Cape Floristic Region of South Africa. Covering a huge coastal arc inland from Cape Town, it is home to the greatest concentration of higher plant species in the world outside the tropical rainforests. Its inauspicious rocky soils and arid Mediterranean climate support 9,000 different plants, more than 6,000 of which are found nowhere else on the planet. The most iconic plants in the region are the proteas." - Mark Lynas, Six Degrees: Our Future on a Hotter Planet (Get the book.)

"This area is another hot spot of pharmaceutical development; second-generation and third-generation oral hypoglycemic agents are marketed along with new agents, and much more is in development. This enormous marketplace ranks with statins and, as we shall see, the anti-hypertensive agents. Here, too, the advisers to the medical associations and the members of the panels often have financial ties to the marketplace, one way or another." - Nortin M. Hadler, The Last Well Person: How to Stay Well Despite the Health-Care System (Get the book.)

"The gut of humans and mammals in particular is one such "hot spot" for gene transfer. Studies have confirmed that antibiotic resistance genes from soil organisms have transferred into the human and animal intestinal tracts, as well as the human mouth.19 Several characteristics of GM crops, however, may overcome the natural barriers to transfer, making gene exchanges between GM foods and gut bacteria much more frequent. 1. Antibiotics: Gene transfer among certain bacteria increases one-hundredfold in the presence of the antibiotic tetracycline." - Jeffrey M. Smith, Genetic Roulette: The Documented Health Risks of Genetically Engineered Foods (Get the book.)

"In other words, the crud was a hot spot of free-radical activity. The question that arose was: is this a late event, or did these free radicals play a part in the process itself? Examination of very early atherosclerotic lesions (fatty streaks) yielded the same findings. One of the main culprits associated with hardening of the arteries is high levels of oxidized LDL cholesterol. It is impossible to overstate how important this concept is: high levels of oxidized LDL cholesterol are dangerous, but unoxidized LDL cholesterol appears to be harmless, even if levels are high." - Russell L. Blaylock, M.D., Health and Nutrition Secrets (Get the book.)

"He was at another hot spot on 9/11 when a terrorist-controlled jetliner crashed into the Pentagon. Haplea told me with evident pride that he was back at work by noon on the same day. The naval intelligence expert hadn't left active duty for long at all when Sidney J. Caspersen, New Jersey's brilliant director of the Office of Counter-Terrorism, offered him the assistant director's position. ("The kind of talented people we want here at homeland security," Caspersen tells me later when we're back at his office in West Trenton.) "We have to work with every aspect of the community," Haplea says. " - David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the Global Warming Meltdown (Get the book.)

"During the winter months, south-east Asia is a drought hot spot, whilst the Amazon, Siberia and part of West Africa suffer most during the summer. Even areas that get more average rainfall, such as the higher mid-latitudes, will see this extra wetness coming in winter, outside the main growing season when crops cannot benefit as much. The study sums it all up with an ominous phrase: 'worldwide agricultural drought'." - Mark Lynas, Six Degrees: Our Future on a Hotter Planet (Get the book.)

"The discussion occurred following Gallo's presentation, "On the Origin of Human Acute Myeloblasts Leukemia: The Virus-'Hot Spot' Hypothesis." Gallo was joined by Dr. Wu, who presented two related papers as an emissary of Litton Bionetics.32 During the session's open discussion, Gallo questioned whether the genetic "Hot Spot" that caused cells to become cancerous was responding to an external or internal virus-like particle: Gallo: Are there viral (type-C RNA tumor virus) genes in some normal cells? Everyone by now must believe that there are some virogenes in at least some normal cells." - Leonard G. Horowitz, D.M.D., M.A., M.P.H., Emerging Viruses: AIDS And Ebola : Nature, Accident or Intentional? (Get the book.)

"Unfortunately, Jesse managed to scratch it before a good solid scar could form and the 'hot spot' began to spread. "I was researching the healing power of garlic during this time. I came across a testimonial from one pet owner who had applied liquid garlic from Japan topically to heal her pet's wound. And then I read about a Russian soldier who used garlic as a natural antibiotic to treat his gangrenous wounds with. I figured, 'What have I got to lose?' So, in desperation, I applied some of this 'Russian penicillin' from Japan on my dog's 'hot spot." - Dr. John Heinerman, Natural Pet Cures: Dog & Cat Care the Natural Way (Get the book.) "My beloved Lab, Jesse, came down with a nasty 'hot spot' on his back. I bathed the raw area, put triple antibiotic cream on the wound, and tried everything to help heal it.

"The interests of bioprospecting corporations are not the same as those of people who live in a biodiversity "hot spot," many of whom are barely eking out a living. As the search for wild species whose genes can yield new medicines and better crops gathers momentum, these rich habitats also sport more and more bioprospectors. Like the nineteenth-century California gold rush or its present-day counterpart in Brazil, this "gene rush" could wreak havoc on ecosystems and the people living in or near them." - Leslie Taylor, ND, The Healing Power of Rainforest Herbs: A Guide to Understanding and Using Herbal Medicinals (Get the book.)

"Hard water is usually associated with well water in regions where the rocks contain a large proportion of iron-bearing minerals. hot spot A place on the surface of the earth where hot magma rises to just underneath the surface, creating a bulge and volcanic activity (see volcano). The Hawaiian Islands (see Hawaii) are thought to have been created by a hot spot. humidity (relative and absolute) The amount of water vapor in the air. Humidity is measured in two ways: i. Absolute humidity is the percentage of water vapor actually present in the air. 2." - E. D. Hirsch, The Dictionary of Cultural Literacy (Get the book.)

"Live-bird markets crowded with customers are common in densely populated Asia, a hot spot where new flu strains arise. If an animal virus recombines with a human one, the resulting new strain can be especially virulent and set off a global epidemic, because the human immune system will have never seen anything like it, and will have few clues about how to fight it. That's how the great pandemics have started." - Elinor Levy, Mark Fischetti, The New Killer Diseases: How the Alarming Evolution of Germs Threatens Us All (Get the book.)

"Where mountains appear in clusters or along ranges, they are formed from magma created by one plate sliding under another (along the west coasts of the Americas) or by a plate moving over a rising plume of magma (a "hot spot") from deep in Earth's interior. Folded Mountains The collisions of Earth's plates of crust that give rise to some volcanoes are related to the activity that causes folded mountains. These occur when plates push against each other also. Most of the great ranges of our world, such as the Alps and Himalayas, are folded mountains." - The New York Times, The New York Times Guide to Essential Knowledge: A Desk Reference for the Curious Mind (Get the book.)

"Litde did she know the varicose veins on one leg and a "hot spot" on the other would virtually disappear, too. "When I was off my feet, that hot spot—a lot of litde broken blood vessels—was fine. Then I would be on my feet and it would turn bright red. The varicose veins are much, much less in evidence now," says the 53-year-old Toronto day-care worker. Some experts say carrying extra body weight, especially in the form of abdominal fat, actually slows the flow of blood back to the heart. Losing weight can help prevent and ease varicose veins." - Gale Maleskey, Brian Kaufman, Home Remedies: What Works: Thousands of Americans Reveal Their Favorite Home-Tested Cures for Everyday Health Problems (Get the book.)
