Providing first aid for injuries of the musculoskeletal system

Fundamentals of First Aid (OPMP)

Specialists distinguish four main types musculoskeletal injuries: fractures, dislocations, sprains (ruptures) of ligaments, sprains (ruptures) of muscles and tendons.

First aid for all musculoskeletal injuries should be aimed at reducing pain and preventing further damage. It is necessary to help the victim to take a comfortable position, to provide him with peace and immobility of the damaged part of the body. Cold can be applied to the injured area. The victim should be moved only if his life and health are in danger or there is a need to transport him to the road (landing site).

RџSЂRё open fracture it is necessary first of all to stop the bleeding, and then carry out the rest of the first aid measures.

A New Way to Control and Manipulate Optical Signals 05.05.2024

The modern world of science and technology is developing rapidly, and every day new methods and technologies appear that open up new prospects for us in various fields. One such innovation is the development by German scientists of a new way to control optical signals, which could lead to significant progress in the field of photonics. Recent research has allowed German scientists to create a tunable waveplate inside a fused silica waveguide. This method, based on the use of a liquid crystal layer, allows one to effectively change the polarization of light passing through a waveguide. This technological breakthrough opens up new prospects for the development of compact and efficient photonic devices capable of processing large volumes of data. The electro-optical control of polarization provided by the new method could provide the basis for a new class of integrated photonic devices. This opens up great opportunities for ... >>

Primium Seneca keyboard 05.05.2024

Keyboards are an integral part of our daily computer work. However, one of the main problems that users face is noise, especially in the case of premium models. But with the new Seneca keyboard from Norbauer & Co, that may change. Seneca is not just a keyboard, it is the result of five years of development work to create the ideal device. Every aspect of this keyboard, from acoustic properties to mechanical characteristics, has been carefully considered and balanced. One of the key features of Seneca is its silent stabilizers, which solve the noise problem common to many keyboards. In addition, the keyboard supports various key widths, making it convenient for any user. Although Seneca is not yet available for purchase, it is scheduled for release in late summer. Norbauer & Co's Seneca represents new standards in keyboard design. Her ... >>

The world's tallest astronomical observatory opened 04.05.2024

Exploring space and its mysteries is a task that attracts the attention of astronomers from all over the world. In the fresh air of the high mountains, far from city light pollution, the stars and planets reveal their secrets with greater clarity. A new page is opening in the history of astronomy with the opening of the world's highest astronomical observatory - the Atacama Observatory of the University of Tokyo. The Atacama Observatory, located at an altitude of 5640 meters above sea level, opens up new opportunities for astronomers in the study of space. This site has become the highest location for a ground-based telescope, providing researchers with a unique tool for studying infrared waves in the Universe. Although the high altitude location provides clearer skies and less interference from the atmosphere, building an observatory on a high mountain poses enormous difficulties and challenges. However, despite the difficulties, the new observatory opens up broad research prospects for astronomers. ... >>

Jellyfish of the ancient seas 14.04.2002

In a quarry in Wisconsin (USA), where sandstone is mined, thousands of jellyfish prints were found. Some of them are more than half a meter in diameter. Such soft-bodied and ephemeral animals as jellyfish almost never leave a trace in the fossil record (this is only the second largest find of jellyfish prints in the world).

More than 500 million years ago there was a shallow tropical sea. The storm threw thousands of jellyfish onto the sandy beach. Around many of the prints, traces of jellyfish attempts to crawl into the water are visible. Then on Earth there were no birds capable of pecking at this unexpected treat. Therefore, the jellyfish lay for some time on the sand, and the next storms covered them with new layers of sand.

The dead animals gradually rotted away, leaving voids in the sand that repeat their shape. In the future, over millions of years, the sand caked, turning into a stone with the imprints of dead jellyfish inside.
