Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby.

migraine pills cause migraines 02.10.2012

People who regularly take medications such as aspirin, paracetamol, and triptan may never get rid of their headaches. These medications may provide more pain than relief, according to a study from the National Institutes of Health NICE. Specialists of the center warn against excessive use of drugs. In their opinion, taking pills for headaches for 15-20 days a month for three months only exacerbates the pain. In the UK alone, more than 10 million people suffer from regular or frequent headaches. This is the most common cause of complaints - 1 out of 25 trips to the doctor.

Most of the relevant drugs are effective in the treatment of "occasional" pain associated, for example, with excessive fatigue or alcohol abuse. However, scientists have calculated that in one case in fifty regular headaches are caused precisely by the excessive use of painkillers, and women abuse this 5 times more often than men.

Typically, such people take medications such as triptan "just in case" to prevent a headache from the anticipated hard work. Such irresponsibility leads to the fact that the effectiveness of the drug is reduced to nothing, the pain intensifies and occurs more often. At this moment, having tried all the allowed drugs, the patient goes to the doctor, who is very difficult to solve the problem.

NICE's verdict is that taking headache medication more than ten or fifteen days a month can put the patient in a vicious cycle of headaches getting worse, more and more medications making the situation worse.

Although headache is the most common neurological symptom, it can be a sign of a variety of conditions that can often be successfully treated. People are afraid to see a doctor, and as a result, they drive themselves into a corner, making their own life and the life of their loved ones unbearable.
