Using Apple Vision Pro during surgery 16.03.2024

The medical team at Cromwell Hospital in London used Apple Vision Pro for the first time during two spinal surgeries. This event confirms the headset's potential as a medical tool that will change the way surgical practice is performed. Although the doctors themselves did not use Vision Pro, the operating room nurse worked with virtual reality using glasses while preparing and performing procedures. The headset made it possible to view virtual screens in the operating room, select instruments and monitor the progress of the operation. Software developed by eXeX, a company that specializes in creating artificial intelligence-based applications for surgery, has significantly improved the patient care process. Using Apple Vision Pro opens up new opportunities for developing healthcare applications such as clinical education, surgical planning, training and medical imaging. Implementation of Apple Vision Pro in the medical industry ... >>

Carbon storage in the North Sea 16.03.2024

Norwegian Energy Minister Terje Åsland has announced the launch of the Longship project, which aims to create a central carbon dioxide storage facility in the North Sea. This ambitious project is valued at $2,6 billion and aims to apply CCS (carbon capture and storage) technology to mitigate the impact of climate change. Norway already has experience in CCS, thanks to the successful Sleipner and Snohvit projects, and is now looking to increase the amount of carbon sealed beneath the seabed. Longship's plan calls for capacity to capture and store 1,5 million tons of carbon annually over 25 years. Despite the positive outlook, there are concerns about the long-term consequences of such storage. However, proponents of the project argue that offshore carbon storage has a number of advantages, including minimal environmental impact. The Longship project is carried out with the participation of Equinor, Shell and TotalEnergies through the joint venture Northern Li ... >>

Mini-organs grown from human amniotic fluid 15.03.2024

An international team of scientists led by Professor Fan Xiulin from Zhejiang University has developed a unique method of growing mini-organs from cells found in human amniotic fluid. This significant medical breakthrough could lead to improved diagnosis and treatment of congenital diseases. The organoids, which are three-dimensional cellular structures that mimic organs on a smaller scale, were grown from lung, kidney and small intestine cells found in amniotic fluid. This method opens up new possibilities for studying various fetal conditions and may be the key to early diagnosis and treatment of birth defects. Although no treatment has yet been attempted, the scientists hope their research will help combat the serious congenital diseases that affect millions of newborns each year. This breakthrough could change medical interventions by making it possible to diagnose and treat congenital diseases. ... >>

Electrical stimulation of the brain will increase willpower 21.12.2013

Neurologists at the University of Texas and UC San Diego have successfully demonstrated a unique technique for enhancing one of the most important forms of self-control. The new technique consists of electrical stimulation of the brain and in the future will be able to help many people with various addictions, obsessive-compulsive disorder, attention deficit disorder, hyperactivity, Tourette's syndrome and many other severe disorders of the self-regulatory mechanism.

Nathan Tandon and his colleagues were able to control the willpower of the patient with the help of electrodes implanted in the brain
"In the brain, there is a circuit for inhibiting (inhibiting) responses to any stimuli," says lead author of the study, MD Nathan Tandon (Nitin Tandon). "We were able to increase the action of this inhibitory system using brain stimulation."

What does this mean on a simple, "worldly" level? Let's take a simple example: when we eat a delicious bun, we experience pleasure. However, at some point, we realize that we are full or think about how hard it will be to “drive away” the consequences of this bun in the gym. At this moment, a certain area of ​​the prefrontal cortex of the brain is activated, and inhibition begins: as a result, overpowering our own desire, we refuse the next bun. Unfortunately, the braking mechanism does not always work as it should: incredibly appetizing food with a dozen flavors, a cigarette, a glass of wine, hurtful words tearing from the lips, a thirst for revenge and uncontrolled aggression - all this is the result of a lack of self-control. Unfortunately, there are still no reliable methods for controlling the self-control mechanism - its operation depends on many factors, and in the event of a disease, restoring the mechanism's performance is a very difficult task.

However, scientists may have found a way to solve this problem. They conducted a unique experiment on direct electrical stimulation of the prefrontal cortex. To do this, the electrical activity of the brain of volunteers was recorded during the process of inhibition in order to determine the specific regions of the brain responsible for this process. Then, these areas of the brain were stimulated with electrical impulses, as a result of which an artificially created inhibition was observed, which increased self-control in "controversial" situations.

Unfortunately, the technique still has a significant drawback: it requires direct electrical stimulation, that is, electrodes must be placed directly into the patient's brain. So far, scientists have decided to do this only in relation to patients with severe epilepsy, who took part in the experiment. Nevertheless, it is now clear that stimulation of the prefrontal cortex has great prospects, which means that research in this direction will continue. It is possible that it will be possible to achieve an increase in the level of self-control with the help of non-invasive transcranial stimulation, which works through the bones of the skull and does not require surgical intervention.
