Tau plaque analysis in boxers In contact sports where is receive repeated head shots like boxing, rugby and football there would be a risk of getting sick of chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a type of Alzheimer-like dementia with consequent behavioural imbalances, confusion and Loss of memory; so the researchers proceeded to compare the tau amyloid plaques with filaments that tangled in the brain in various cases with an electron microscope verifying that for example in those of boxers and football players are identical, but a little different from those found in Alzheimer's (in deceased patients). This finding could help identify the various types of dementia in the diagnosis and with further research try to understand how plaques form. Other studies raise many doubts about the role of amyloid plaques on Alzheimer's disease and suggest that should also investigate in other directions. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Mar 29, 2019

 Detecting Alzheimer's with a blood test It is possible to detect signs of cerebral damage precursors of Alzheimer's disease with a simple blood test, at least according to the results of a joint study carried out by American and German researchers who would have identified a faulty gene variant that causes the increase of particular proteins and neurofilaments in the blood predictive of cognitive decline. The test was carried out on over four hundred people participating in the study of which two hundred and forty-seven carriers of the defective genetic variant and a hundred and sixty-two healthy in which it had not been found; previously it was preceded by a brain scan and a complete cognitive test and by comparison of the examinations one could find differences sixteen years before the symptoms of the disease manifest themselves. This blood test may also be useful for identifying other neurodegenerative diseases. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jan 23, 2019 n: 3986 Emile Reynaud precursor of the cinema In 1888 the French inventor Emile Reynaud (Montreuil 1844 - 1918 Paris) developed an optical theatre to give figures drawn to sequentially iterate through the illusion of movement, perfecting the Plateau's phenachistoscope, physicist who had discovered in 1828 the persistence phenomenon of images on the retina; but the new artisanal films did not have much luck despite the considerable scope of the innovation and the valuable thorough meticulous artistic work, so that the dishearted author decided to destroy almost all of them. To report changing the subject but always talking about refined minds, the derogatory words present in a letter from Einstein about God defined as the product of human weakness at a short distance from another writing from which it was evident his decidedly racist against the Chinese people. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Dec 07, 2018 n: 3947 Children polluted intelligence Children with intellectual disabilities often live in very polluted areas, at least from the results of an English study carried out comparing the representative data of over eighteen thousand children born between 2000 and 2002, then researchers from other countries have noticed that they would tend to have poor health and less life expectancy as well as provide a proof of how necessary to intervene against pollution. Children with intellectual disabilities live on average (according to the report) for thirty-three percent in areas where the level of the thin particulate matter emitted by diesel engines is high, thirty percent in areas with high levels of nitrogen dioxide, thirty percent in areas polluted by carbon monoxide, seventeen percent with high levels of sulphur dioxide. The incidence is greater in socio-economic less-favoured areas which are, as a tendency, also those where air pollution is greater. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Nov 22, 2018 n: 3934 Observed material ejected from a black hole Using radio and infrared telescopes astronomers would have been able for the first time to observe the material ejected by a so-called black hole (because of the massive mass is not visible with normal telescopes), almost with terms figured as a jet eruption of particles hurled at a great distance from the poles of what appears to be a kind of disc that could help a better understanding of the process leading to the formation of a galaxy; in fact it is assumed that at the center of the galaxies there can be a superconcentrated mass that could be millions of times that of our Sun. Initially this material that is very bright to the infrared had been mistaken as an explosion that occurs at the end of the astronomical life of a supernova, but after six years of observations finding that the phenomenon continued they would understood that it could not be a supernova. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jun 15, 2018 n: 3793 Information transmitted by plants to the study The plants have surprising characteristics despite their apparent static, at least according to a Japanese study that would have identified fifteen senses about the light receptors ranging from ultraviolet to infrared to the comparison of only three of the humans and therefore with a superior sensitivity and precision; then there would be evidence of information transmitted from the roots (even at a distance) and intense electrical activity in various areas of the plant in a similar way to what happens in the brain and in the nervous system of the animals. Hormonal activity is also detected and for example it is cited that vasopressin in the human body regulates blood pressure and a hormone practically analogous in the plant world modulates information about the presence of water in order to adapt to the quantity of water present in the soil optimally from roots to leaves. Is try to modify the peptides to make the plants more resistant to drought and to identify the type of hormone that communicates a possible state of dryness from the roots to the stomata of the leaves so that they are closed by regulating the water vapour exit. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Apr 27, 2018 n: 3751 Interesting geoglyphs discovered in Peru The new lines drawn on the ground discovered in Peru in the Palpa province form geoglyphs that the researchers have defined as spectacular showing about fifty geometrical figures depicting humans, monkeys, different animals and even a whale; but of these only about twenty-five are new because the site with these interesting designs was already known by the local population (being on a hill visible from below). To carry out the aerial observations were used of drones that flew over the area at about thirty meters high and was opened in this way a new door regarding the hypotheses of the function and meaning of the geoglyphs being more ancient of different centuries compared to the famous ones of Nasca and probably made by the Paracas and Topara culture between the five hundred B.C. and the two hundred A.D. and then as if tracing drawings were a kind of cultural tradition even more ancient. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Apr 18, 2018 n: 3744 In race methods to reuse carbon dioxide The systems and technologies to capture carbon dioxide from production plants using fossil fuels and reuse it for example to obtain construction materials and methanol are attracting the attention of energy companies that promote a race with ten finalists more than anything else according to the organizers to open the mind of the population and demonstrate what is possible, then besides avoiding that this gas ends in the atmosphere contributing to the greenhouse effect could reduce the demand for cement that is responsible for five percent of global CO2 emissions and use methanol in the production of many materials and autotraction. Some recently analyzing emissions data say that without a significant reduction in polluting emissions we should extract more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere than we are prepared to do with a ladder at higher steps. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Apr 11, 2018 n: 3738 Big investments on artificial intelligence The so-called artificial intelligence could have a considerable acceleration in the coming years after the announcement of the allocation of large resources made by the main countries that want to compete in this high technology sector considered strategic for the future of thinking machines, but despite the reassuring statements made by some that this new industry will have to follow ethical criteria remains the fear that in reality we could hide a Machiavellian philosophy type "the end justifies the means" (as recently emerged in the case of of development lines made by a leader of a well-known social network) nested behind the artificial connections that simulate the activity of human thought. The logic of artificial intelligence will probably be different from that to which we are accustomed by being able to exploit the possibilities of quantum physics that at first impact are strange, abstract and almost incomprehensible. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Mar 31, 2018 n: 3730 Pollution and behavior of children Cognitive functions of school-aged children may be maimed due to exposure to pollution during fetal life in the womb, at least from a study carried out in Holland on seven hundred and eighty-three children who would have associated exposure to thin particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide to a lower-thickness cortex in different areas of both hemispheres of the brain with consequent behavioral problems such as tendency to impulsiveness, attention deficit, hyperactivity and therefore poor school performance. The relationship between exposure to thin particulate matter and alterations of the brain structure would have been found despite the pollution in the residential area considered for the study was well below the limits set by the European Union and only a virtually negligible percentage of mothers had been exposed to pollution levels considered unhealthy. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Mar 10, 2018 n: 3712 Mind - training * The author doesn't assume some kind of responsibility for the bad use of the articles councils (all rights are reserved) |
