Dance rhythm for patients with Parkinson's That patients with advanced Parkinson's disease were able to accomplish in special conditions some movement had been found in a Dutch patient able to ride a bike and not to walk (usually without tremor or uncertainties) and now a Canadian study tries to investigate using brain scans on why some patients with this crippling disease that progressively removes the ability to move in coordination and balancing are able to dance quite smoothly almost surpassing suddenly every hindrance that limits their movement. The study still in its early stages would have shown how an hour of dance exercise increases alpha waves in the brain, and this also means an improvement in the balance of the body during rhythmic movements, but now it remains to be confirmed whether is a neuroprotective feature that remains over the time. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jan 25, 2017

 Antimatter detected by a laser Using a laser to accurately measure the optical or spectroscopic properties of antimatter captured in some kind of trap containing antihydrogen researchers at CERN in Geneva would have discovered that hydrogen and antihydrogen have the same properties; in fact even the theory supports the hypothesis that in the violent explosion called Big Bang at the origin of our universe were formed equal amounts of matter and antimatter that then are annihilate into other particles and energy due to the process whereby the particles interacting disappear since the sum of their quantum numbers is zero. Concepts that are difficult to understand and to set an example on the topic the mathematician Paul Dirac (discoverer of the Positron in 1930 as antiparticle of the electron) said that like x² = 4 has two solutions x = 2 or x = -2 even in the universe there are two solutions, one positive and one negative. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Dec 23, 2016 n°: 3336 Mouth bacteria maybe responsible for headaches People who suffer from migraines among the various directions that should be followed according to the guidelines is to avoid processed foods for example containing nitrates (which added to the meat improves flavour and colour) and now researchers have found that in the mouth of individuals who often have headaches a significant presence of microbes that act on nitrates in order to convert them into nitric oxide in the blood stream, with effects on the caliber of blood vessels by improving circulation. The abundance of these bacteria in the mouth so it may also be responsible for a dilation of the blood vessels of the brain and the head causing migraine. Medicines containing nitrates are prescribed in cases of cardiovascular problems, but it was also noticed that these patients complaining then headaches as a side effect. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Oct 26, 2016 n°: 3287 Monkeys perceive whether someone is doing wrong In an experiment carried out by seeing a man a movie by an actor wearing a costume like King Kong while hiding an object in one of two boxes and then when the man went away moves the object to another place scientists studied the behavior of some orangutan while concerned the movie noting that these great apes identified the eye movement of the protagonists of the experiment and were able to figure out that the man would try to search the object in the wrong place. These capabilities typical of chimpanzees, bonobos and orangutans are very similar to those of human type to anticipate future actions and previous studies had already shown that monkeys can to realize the various thoughts simulated in experiments depending on what their partners see; so could be much smarter than usually think. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Oct 10, 2016 n°: 3272 A sheet of paper to make the stethoscope Using a simple trick that sometimes kids use to play in 1816 the French doctor René Laennec (Quimper 1781-1826 Kerlouanec) picked up a sheet of paper rolled up and supported it on the chest (in Greek "stethos") of a patient to hear (in Greek see "skopein") the heartbeat without having to support directly the ear on the chest of the woman, whereas at that time doctors usually don't ever touched patients and were limited to evaluate symptoms of diseases. The technique was described in an important "Treatise on mediated auscultation" of 1819; in fact this is the first medical anatomoclinic text that comparing the symptoms of diseases and the various lesions in organs to reach the diagnosis. Stethoscope initially was a kind of a wooden cylinder, then was disassembled for easy portability, afterwards it very evolved until to the use of electronic elements. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Sep 29, 2016 n°: 3263 The pigeons are able to distinguish written words Showing in an experiment on a screen a series of words in English consisting of four letters to the pigeons researchers would have found that the birds are able to distinguish the words with meaning by those who have not, at least from what emerges from a study carried out in collaboration between New Zealand and Germany who claims as pigeons are the first non-primate species with some ability to spell able to distinguish the orthographic. To check whether the four birds involved in the experiment simply just memorize the words of sense the researchers tried to add in the series displayed new words that the birds had never seen before finding the correct distinction in significant rate between words of sense by those meaningless perhaps identifying a couple of letters more characteristics of the true words. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Sep 20, 2016 n°: 3255 Maybe an effective therapy for Alzheimer's A new therapy aimed at reducing the characteristics plaques of amyloid protein typical of Alzheimer's disease and try at the same time to reduce the mental decline associated seems to have shown an effectiveness; in fact American and Swiss researchers have involved a study of one hundred sixty-five patients at half of whom received a placebo and the other a monthly injection of an antibody called aducanumab who made beta amyloid protein plaques regress both in soluble form that in the case of insoluble as fibers. The real difference of this therapy compared with those of the same kind attempted above would be in stabilizing the memory; because it had already been shown that to reduce amyloid plaque is not enough to give a positive effect regarding the mental decline and loss of memory, but apparently it's also important to intervene early in the disease. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Sep 06, 2016 n°: 3243 Found a well preserved pterosaur fossil In southern Argentina in Chubut province lying in the cold region of Patagonia being close to the South Pole has been found by a group of Argentine and German researchers a pterosaur fossil (close relative of dinosaurs, but with wings) of approximately one hundred and seventy millions years ago in excellent condition with skull not crushed and perfectly preserved and which therefore could help to shed light on the origins and neuroanatomy of pterodactyls considered as close relatives and very similar. Rebuilding the brain cavity is possible understand the adaptations that occur in the brain of the pterosaur to be capable of flight; moreover this fossil shows how much still remains to be discovered of the Jurassic in the southern hemisphere. Studies carried out in the past assumed such as birds and bats derived from pterosaurs that became extinct probably due to a number of factors and not only because of the impact of an asteroid. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Sep 02, 2016 n°: 3240 Mental support for Fort McMurray citizens Unable to resume normal daily activities the citizens of Fort McMurray Alberta province in Canada after the disastrous fire in May powered by strong winds and unusually high temperatures for the period destroyed entire neighbourhoods of the city; in fact more than twenty thousand people have requested mental support to the health facilities, lamenting for example to be paralyzed by fear, of not being able to sleep for the vivid images of flames that come back to memory and a nervousness that blocks the stomach. The affair had worried also for the presence of large petroleum deposits threatened by uncontrollable flames, then the air quality had become for the continuation of these fires really bad with the whole city population (ninety thousand people) forced to flee. Now seems from some stories of citizens that after an initial rejoicing is replaced by an heavy sadness. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Aug 13, 2016 n°: 3224 Fake eyes designed to fool the Lions A trick to fool the lions that they shred the cattle in Botswana was experienced by Australian researchers who designed the fake eyes easily visible and intimidating on the rump of one third of a herd of sixty-two cows testing after ten weeks that the Lions had killed three cows that had not been painted. Typically according to researchers if the hunter animal believes was seen from prey renounce to the attack; in fact some butterflies in nature have fake eyes on the wings as a deterrent for the birds, then this trick is used by woodcutters in India wearing a mask painted in the back of his head to simulate a face to defend themselves from aggression of the tigers that attack by surprise. The polyps use more sophisticated tricks to fool the predator by changing suddenly livery design showing a whole variety of colors and shades. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jul 12, 2016 n°: 3196 Mind - training * The author doesn't assume some kind of responsibility for the bad use of the articles councils (all rights are reserved) |
