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

 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 Double cataclysm to end age of the dinosaurs There is speculation that a double cataclysm is the cause of the extinction of the dinosaurs that before were weakened by a huge volcanic eruption in India and then wiped out permanently fifty thousand years later by the impact with the Earth of a huge asteroid into what is now identified as Gulf of Mexico; in fact analyzing the composition of fossil shells researchers spotted two distinct peaks about a significant increase in temperatures. It is thought that due to the release of large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere the temperatures in the Antarctic Ocean climbed several degrees centigrade, making it melt even the icebergs and with planetary changes, then the disastrous impact of the asteroid gave the so-called coup de grace to the dinosaurs. Previously it had been noticed that dinosaurs were dying out at a faster rate than that necessary for restocking. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jul 06, 2016 n°: 3191 Curious behaviours of macaques to the study Is possible to analyze the individual personalities of macaques to have signs in general on economic behavior, at least for the opinion of researchers in Canada who would have studied at a temple in Bali the curious habit of some monkeys (documented in different parts of the globe) who steal objects to tourists, then barter with the unfortunates of the food in exchange for the return of stolen property; but sometimes the haggling does not end with the first offer and continues until the animal does not receive the liking food. The macaques proves to be rather audacious coming to take the sunglasses of tourists waiting for negotiation begin, not have an aggressive behavior and is remain amazed that sunglasses stolen not have a scratch. It is thought that there might be some human influence in this behavior but then spread like cultural attitude. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jun 28, 2016 n°: 3184 An air conditioner made with plastic bottles Recycling plastic bottles is possible make a simple air conditioner, at least according to a Bangladesh inventor that claims that can lower the temperatures from thirty to twenty-five Celsius degrees in the hot country homes and thereby enhancing the feeling of well-being with a difference of about five degrees. To make the conditioner just cut the plastic bottles in half and spilled on a rectangular panel mounted with the neck of the bottles toward the panel and then we proceed to install this panel out of a window; in practice due to the expansion of hot air that passes in the necks of the bottles towards the open wider the air cools as this happen when the gas expands rapidly. It is easy to build, not consumes energy, is easy to find materials and can improves the living conditions of the Bangladesh population. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jun 04, 2016 n°: 3164 Is thought to be billions planets suitable for life After the discovery with a small telescope along just sixty centimeters in Chile, but made by astronomers in Belgium, of three new perhaps potentially habitable planets that revolve around a dwarf ultra-cool star at thirty-nine light years from Earth, researchers speculate that planets like Earth may not be quite as unique and there might be in the Milky Way billions of planets suitable for life. For the moment with the current technology provides the distances do not allow to reach them (thankfully saw how man is reducing the Earth) and for example a spaceship would take about tirty thousands years to bring the astronauts on one of the new planets discovered. To make this type of research on new planets is record the intensity of the light emitted by the star and verifying any changes can roughly calculate the mass, distance and times of revolution of the planets. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: May 04, 2016 n°: 3137 A medicine experienced in Australia for Alzheimer's For the first time is try to stop or slow to five to ten years the progression of Alzheimer's disease before dementia manifests using a new innovative medicine in a clinical trial of large proportions made in Australia. With a brain scan was done to verify the presence of amyloid plaques considered responsible for disease in volunteers participating in the experiment; then is proceeded to select a group of one hundred individuals, a half of which will be given an antibody and other medications to eliminate amyloid plaques, while the other half a placebo to perform audit checks. Treatment is aimed at correcting that sort of jamming mechanism leading to the degeneration of the brain, whereas for the time being have not yet been found effective treatment although some argue that the real cause would be a faulty gene. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: May 02, 2016 n°: 3135 New theory about the extinction of dinosaurs It was thought that the extinction of the dinosaurs was caused by a huge asteroid that hit the Earth about sixty-six million years ago from a point identified currently as Gulf of Mexico, but British researchers claim that were already declining tens of millions of years before the impact from the space of the rocky body decreed the final order. The dinosaurs were dying out at a faster rate than that sufficient to maintain the population of these large reptiles that had dominated the land; moreover apparently the long-necked sauropods were undergoing a fast decline, while it was more gradual in the theropods (group of the famous Tyrannosaurus). It is also obvious that the situation of the dinosaurs is similar to that of many species that now are dying out because of climate change caused by man and are exposed to a possible final annihilation. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Apr 20, 2016 n°: 3126 Mind - training * The author doesn't assume some kind of responsibility for the bad use of the articles councils (all rights are reserved) |
