Don't converse with AI Artificial intelligence has long passed the Turing test and this means that it is difficult to notice that are conversing with a machine instead of with a person if, for example, it is not present in "flesh and blood", so in order not to train artificial intelligence with conversation it is advisable not to use applications with software that learn from what is said. Lately hundreds of researchers have raised the alarm on the future of humanity given the growing danger represented by generative artificial intelligence and that regulations must be established to curb its development, but some argue that it is now like wanting to stop an avalanche with your hands; in fact, after having developed these neural networks for decades it is really difficult to stop them even if in theory it is still possible by disconnecting all the plugs and therefore also widely used applications. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: May 31, 2023

Mindfulness meditation useful against anxiety Social anxiety and panic attacks are a widespread disorder in the world aggravated in part due to the Covid-19 pandemic, climate change, social tensions or financial uncertainties and a study would have shown that mindfulness meditation (a type of meditation that aims to empty the mind by focusing on silence) is more effective than common medicines used to treat states of anxiety and also behavioral therapies based on education. As it is well known for health and mental balance is harmful to think continuously about unpleasant events, so it is useful to take some breaks by emptying the mind of negativity; then in order not to get depressed should try to concentrate in that kind of emotional emptiness that can be found in a prolonged silence. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Nov 11, 2022 n: 5180 Cases of mental fog from n-Cov contagion From the stories of some people infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus emerge cases of a kind of mental fog with forgotten appointments, lapses, confused conversations and memory loss that could put in difficulty the people who have to face this lack of clarity in reasoning. To try to recover a minimum of lucidity, for example, it may be appropriate to organize yourself calmly, breathe deeply, recover concentration, positively influence yourself for example with naturalistic images as well as meditation, sleep hygiene, mild physical exercise and stretching. Neurological problems and loss of taste and above all smell have long been reported, with inevitable disorientation; but generally these are passenger disorders that tend to subside a little with time until the return to normal apart from cases of long Covid. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Mar 12, 2022 n: 4973 Children's behaviors during the pandemic The nCoV pandemic has disrupted the lifestyle habits of many families and children in the opinion of some may suffer from behavioral disorders not being able, for example, to take advantage to avoid any infection of useful services for learning in the process of growth such as kindergartens, kindergartens, places of aggregation and leisure with consequences on character development. Apparently it may also happen that children do not remember the time when they could meet someone who did not wear the mask; then we talk about problems that can be linked to states of anxiety, insomnia, speech development issues, little concentration and in some cases tend to gain weight. In general children should not spend too many hours in front of the television and video of an electronic device (computer, tablet, smartphone..) by encouraging manual arts and physical activity. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Mar 24, 2021 n: 4667 Difficult reasoning linked to 19-nCoV virus It has long been known that the Covid-19 coronavirus caused neurological problems affecting the nervous system and an Australian study would verify how the virus is able to infect brain tissues with effects on the structure of the cortex; then on memory, consciousness and language causing lack of support and nutrients to neurons (it replicates in cells abounded in the central nervous system such as astrocytes). Variation also in the concentration of neurotransmitters and other substances such as potassium with neurological and neuropsychiatric consequences on patients for example difficulties of reasoning, headhache, fatigue, anxiety two months after contagion. It should be noted by changing the topic that in the United States almost eight million infections have been monitored, while in the world the official victims of the virus would be over one million and one hundred thousand. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Oct 17, 2020 n: 4534 Neurological problems in patients cured by 19-nCoV The consequences of Covid-19 coronavirus infection could affect the central nervous system and cause neuropsychiatric outcomes as well as loss of sense of smell and taste up to more strokes (in more severe patients), then to complete the research was also referred to data from previous viral respiratory epidemics. The long-term neurological consequences of SARS-CoV-2 disease are not yet known, but it is conceivable that they could last years without considering any damage to the integrity of the immune system; among the causes of this possible neuropsychiatric sensitivity perhaps a receptor for an enzyme of the 19-nCoV virus present in the cells surrounding neurons. Other research shows that antioxidants could be useful in mitigating the stress in the body caused by the disease. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Apr 18, 2020 n: 4379 Mental consequences linked to 19-nCoV pandemic The living conditions imposed by containment measures for the Covid-19 virus and the inevitable stress, perhaps linked to social and economic difficulties, with inevitable unpositive thoughts about the future, can put a strain the nervous and psychological resistances; then some also say that this is the most serious crisis since the Second World War, perhaps more human crisis than health damage since it affects social relations in particular. Hiding reality and for example declaring few cases of contagion and victims (as some countries apparently do) cannot be a solution to the problem even if it would actually be appropriate for the media not to display images of patients and lanes of hospitals. To mitigate stress it may be useful to spend a few minutes on meditation freeing the mind as much as possible from the clouds of negative thoughts. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Apr 01, 2020 n: 4363 Irrational attitudes linked to COVID-19 The scenes seen in some Italian regions affected by the outbreak of COVID-19 coronavirus with brawls at supermarkets and rows to buy the latest masks apparently also occurred in France in various areas such as in the Paris suburb Saint Denis and other towns including Nice; but this irrational attitude exposes to contagions, then the states of agitation make minds less lucid leading to mistakes regarding respect for appropriate distances and hygiene. An agitated person generally also tends to move uncommited and touch his face frequently, thus conveying the virus in the body, so it is advisable to try to keep calm. Lately it seems that even in Los Angeles in the United States the crowds have emptied supermarkets and shops, vying for the latest food and hygiene products available, confirming this tendency to the irrationality. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Mar 07, 2020 n: 4338 A stroke involves patient and family members A stroke patient, due to the loss of nerve cells in the brain left without nourishment, often feels frustrated that cannot perform daily actions normally and irritable with consequences for family members who have to cope with this further to provide for treatment and rehabilitation that sometimes lasts for the entire life of the subject. International health organisations warn to increase the focus on prevention and treatment on the occasion of world stroke day, so as to be able to provide better care to patients trying to improve their condition and consequently to family members. It is appropriate to carefully analyze the symptoms of the disease that has a significant impact on the patient's life, then do regular rehabilitation exercises starting as soon as possible to improve recovery skills and prevent from being have another stroke. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Oct 29, 2019 n: 4227 Healthy lifestyle against genetic dementia People who fear getting sick for some form of dementia due to a high genetic risk due to family factors are better off worrying about leading a healthy lifestyle, at least according to researchers who argue that it is useful in these cases adopt a balanced diet, exercise, limiting alcohol consumption and not smoking. The study carried out only on ethnic groups of European origin in practice shows that the risk of getting Alzheimer's and other dementias decreases by a third by leading to a healthy lifestyle in case of high genetic risk (compared with people at low risk), but it would also be necessary to investigate other genetic groups to verify that this relationship is always real. Other studies indicate that Alzheimer's affects women more for biological reasons and not because they have a higher life expectancy than males, then it seems that the disease spreads in the brain differently with certain specific genes responsible for this progression. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jul 17, 2019 n: 4137 Mind - training * The author doesn't assume some kind of responsibility for the bad use of the articles councils (all rights are reserved) |
