What is Sprain, Tendon Sprain and Bruising?

Taking part in a game of football in the yard or in a fight can result in bruises, sprained ligaments or tendons. What causes these phenomena and what should be done about them? A sprain is an injury to a joint such as the ankle, knee, or wrist. With such injuries, the ligaments can stretch and even tear. This is usually due to stretching, twisting, or a lot of pressure on the joint.

The main symptom is a tumor that appears very soon. When moving, the joint begins to hurt even more, it can also darken. It is best not to move until the injury is established, as the fracture has similar symptoms. Complex sprains are more difficult to treat and sometimes take longer than a simple bone fracture. A sprained tendon is a different type of injury. Here the tendon or muscle is injured. This is usually due to intense exertion, such as when lifting a weight from an uncomfortable position.

Symptoms of a tendon sprain are pain and immobility of the injured limb. To help a person who has received such an injury, it is necessary, first of all, to arrange him more comfortably so that the damaged muscles relax. In some cases, a warm compress and gentle massage can relieve pain by stimulating circulation. The damaged area must be massaged from the bottom up. When rubbing, alcohol can be used to relax tense muscles.

Bruising is another type of injury. It appears from a blow to any part of the body that damages small blood vessels under the skin, as a result of which blood accumulates there and the damaged area swells and darkens. Cold packs can be used to prevent bruising and reduce swelling.

Minor bruises usually do not need treatment. If the skin is damaged at the site of the bruise, then this place is treated like any open wound. But still, probably, the main thing is to be careful during sports and in the game in order to avoid sprains and tendons, as well as bruises!

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

Interaction between two space-time crystals 26.08.2020

Scientists, for the first time in the history of science, managed to witness the interaction between two material formations that are in a special quantum state, known as "spatio-temporal crystals".

The results of this achievement can become the basis of new technologies for processing quantum information due to the fact that the structure of space-time crystals remains stable and maintains its consistency, regardless of changing environmental conditions. And it is this stability that can ensure the reliable operation of the processors of powerful quantum computers, consisting of hundreds and thousands of quantum bits, qubits.

Space-time crystals have practically nothing in common with ordinary crystals, which consist of atoms connected to each other, forming a lattice structure repeating in space. The theoretical possibility of the existence of space-time crystals was substantiated in 2012 by Nobel laureate Frank Wilczek, and already in 2016, scientists managed to create and observe the behavior of the particles of the first real space-time crystal.

The particles that make up the space-time crystals are in constant motion, they oscillate, rotate and move in different directions. But, despite such a complex movement, at strictly defined intervals, the structure of the entire crystal returns to its original form, regardless of any external influences.

An international team of scientists from the Universities of Lancaster and Yale University, Great Britain, Aalto University, Helsinki, has created space-time crystals in the medium of helium-3, a rare isotope of helium, in the nucleus of which one neutron is missing. Superfluid helium-3 has been cooled to a temperature one ten-thousandth of a degree above absolute zero (0,0001K or -273,15 degrees Celsius). And in the superfluid liquid (superfluid) obtained after such cooling, scientists managed to induce two crystals that slightly "affected" each other.

Looking into the volume of superfluid using specialized equipment, scientists saw that two crystals interact with each other. Particles from one crystal, without violating its structure, constantly flow into another space-time crystal and after a while return back in a process known as the Josephson effect.
