Loss of consciousness.

When to Call for Emergency Help

If 5 minutes after the onset of fainting, the child does not regain consciousness.

If there is a serious injury to the head, neck, or back during fainting.

First aid for fainting

1. If the child is dizzy, sit him down and bend his head so that it is between his knees.

2. Loosen your child's clothes to make it easier for him to breathe.

3. If the child is unconscious, put him on his back and raise his legs 20-30 cm.

4. Do not put a pillow under your head.

5. Turn the child's head to the side so that he does not suffocate if he vomits.

6. When the child regains consciousness, he should lie down for another 5-10 minutes. You can't get up right away.

7. If the child falls during a faint, look for any injuries.

8. If you think your child has a head or back injury, call an ambulance immediately.

9. If the child is unconscious, monitor his breathing and pulse.

ATTENTION!

When fainting, you can not:

splash water in the child's face;
shake him up;
force to sniff ammonia.

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. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

Petgugu Global cat litter 15.04.2024

Taking care of pets can often be a challenge, especially when it comes to keeping your home clean. A new interesting solution from the Petgugu Global startup has been presented, which will make life easier for cat owners and help them keep their home perfectly clean and tidy.

Additionally, the toilet has a large flushable storage capacity, making it ideal for multi-cat households. The Petgugu cat litter bowl is designed for use with water-soluble litters and offers a range of additional ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Secret microwave 11.11.2016

The secret X-37 space plane has been performing orbital flights since 2010. Over the past six years, information about it has not increased, although the US Air Force has already launched four “Test Orbital Vehicles” (Orbital Test Vehicle) from the X-37B series, with the last one launched on 20 May 2015 seems to be flying like that. "It seems to be" because there has not yet been confirmation of the landing, and the scarcely received information suggests the opposite.

According to unnamed sources, one of the experiments currently underway on board the X-37B is testing a microwave space engine with a magnetron and an Emdrive resonator chamber. We wrote several times about this invention that violates the laws of physics.

English engineer Roger Shawyer, who came up with the Emdrive, recently filed a patent for yet another improved version of the engine, and NASA has just published its own test results showing that the device that converts electrical energy into thrust without a propellant actually works, albeit contrary to the law of conservation of momentum. Scheuer himself confirmed in October of this year that the US and British Defense Ministries have long been interested in his invention.

So it is likely that Emdrive flies on the X-37B, especially since, as again unidentified sources indicate, the Chinese space station Tiangong-2, located next door, is also testing the same microwave engine created by Chinese scientists according to image and likeness (and how else) of English.

Researchers from the Northwest Polytechnic Institute in Xian built their version of the engine back in 2008, and in 2012-2014. published a series of articles confirming its performance. True, after that they found out that an error was made in the calculations due to the power cable, and their equipment was not sensitive enough to determine the developed traction. (As mentioned above, NASA specialists did this this year).
