Care of the injured and sick. Urinary monitoring

Fundamentals of First Aid (OPMP)

It is necessary to pay attention to frequency of urination (normally 5-6 times a day, with one or no times per night), the amount of urine (normally 6-8 glasses per day), its color (light yellow is normal, concentrated with an increase in temperature, dark, the color of beer with yellow foam in jaundice, with an admixture of blood and bloody - in renal bleeding). If there are any changes in the urine, it is best to save it for examination by a doctor.

For urination, bedridden patients use a bedpan (women) and glass urinals ("duck") and a night vase (men). With urinary retention, the patient is limited in the amount of fluid, put a heating pad on the lower abdomen; if possible, take a warm bath. Urinary retention is most common in older men due to prostate disease. If these measures do not help, it is necessary to call emergency help or, if possible, take the patient to a medical facility.

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. Startup Petgugu Global has unveiled a unique cat toilet that can automatically flush feces, keeping your home clean and fresh. This innovative device is equipped with various smart sensors that monitor your pet's toilet activity and activate to automatically clean after use. The device connects to the sewer system and ensures efficient waste removal without the need for intervention from the owner. 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. ... >>

Nvidia Parker - new generation single-chip system for the automotive segment 24.08.2016

Nvidia has unveiled a next-generation single-chip system that became the basis for the Drive PX 2 automotive supercomputer.

So, the new SoC is called Parker. Now Tegra is not in the name, which looks a bit strange. Apparently, Nvidia decided to abandon the well-known brand simply because the novelty is not focused on the consumer market, but the automotive market does not care, because there are other selection criteria.

Parker is characterized by a performance of 1,5 TFLOPS. The solution is configured with two Nvidia proprietary Denver 2 processor cores, four Cortex-A57 cores, and a Pascal generation GPU with 256 CUDA cores. Moreover, two processor clusters are interconnected by a special interface, which makes it possible to call the processor of a single-chip system a coherent heterogeneous multiprocessor.

The single-chip system supports LPDDR4 RAM. The bandwidth of the memory subsystem has doubled and reached 50 GB / s. Parker also supports up to 12 cameras, which once again indicates the main market for the novelty - the automotive. Of course, the asset also has the ability to encode and decode video in 4K format at 60 fps.

Parker supports hardware virtualization with the ability to run eight virtual machines simultaneously. This will allow car manufacturers to use one Drive PX 2 system to handle a variety of tasks, including a multimedia system, driver assistance system, and more.
