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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Many people with dementia dispersed in Japan

Requests to find people with dementia away from home submitted to the authorities in Japan would have reached a record, there are seventeen thousand cases in 2018 that were then found within the year, but for almost two hundred people the searches did not successful. The figures show an increase of more than a thousand people compared to 2017; moreover the cases would have doubled since these statistics were recorded in 2012, so some point to the importance of broad community support to help these often disoriented people to find their way home. Usually more than seventy-three percent of people reported missing are found on the same day as the report made by family members, then in more than ninety-nine percent of cases however are found within a week, but for many people are found lose track (involved perhaps in tragic accidents). It seems that people with dementia often feel the desire to go to the house where they spent their childhood and then lose their orientation.

Brush the teeth to prevent dementia

The blood vessels of the triangular area formed figuratively from the mouth and nose are very close to those of the brain and therefore according to the researchers to be identified as dangerous since any untreated infections caused by bacteria for example for plaque of teeth and inflammation of the gums could reach the brain and cause dementia or degenerative diseases including Alzheimer's. Should also be careful to wash well the hands before approaching them to the face and especially in the mouth and nose area, then better not to touch the pimples of the face that can be a real bacterial outbreak near the brain. If do not constant brush the teeth after each meal (or when drinking sugary drinks) maintaining the hygiene of the mouth can form a little plaque that over time increases in thickness favoring the proliferation of bacteria that produce proteins that destroy nerve cells.

Various hypotheses on the Neanderthals extinction

The extinction of the Neanderthal man, characterized by a clear complexion and artistic capacities supported by a great brain, would seem to coincide with the arrival of the man Sapiens of dark complexion as if was eliminated in belligerous clashes; but there have probably been several factors that have lead to a slow decline in ten thousand years or less (they had dominated in a cold Europe from about four hundred thousand to forty thousand years ago) at least according to the researchers that with mathematical models would have simulated the typical scenario of a decrease in environmental resources that lead to a decrease in fertility and therefore women who had fewer children who had to grow in more difficult situations of exploitation of the territory. Others say that it was a reversal of the Earth's magnetic field that favored the Sapiens, still others that there was a real extinction but hybridization of the two species since they would have been found Asian areas where they lived for long time; in fact the climatic variations of temperature caused continuous migrations.

Leonardo da Vinci artist, scientist and writer

The personality of Leonardo (1452 Vinci - Amboise 1519) is as varied and mysterious as some of his famous paintings, but surely we are in front of one of the greatest minds of mankind seen for example his contributions to artistic progress with the famous blurred and thanks to the studies on inertia, hydrostatics, communicating vessels and constant flow. Often defined as neoplatonic artist, although for Plato art is nothing of a copy of the copy of the idea, it exploits above all the vibration and the glare of light on elements of nature carefully studied with experimental observations, instead it serves of a halo of shadow on human figures to give a sense of admirable softness, as evidenced by its treatise on painting. Man also unprejudiced that in practice in a famous letter he presented himself to Ludovico il Moro as an expert in military arts, then did not scruple to serve at the infamous Cesare Borgia.
