How to control emotionsItalian researchers are experimenting with one named “dream machine” which, if revealed effective, could be the solution for the 12 million Italians who have insomnia. The announcement of the test launch took place during the Congress of the European Society of Clinical Neurophysiology, at the Catholic University of Rome.

This is a portable device that emits electrical stimulation (low doses and painless) able to act on the frontal and parietal areas of the brain or those for the emotional control and the level of care.

The device tested by Italian researchers, consists of moving plates, able to move about the patient’s head, connected to a battery-powered stimulator.

The current sent to the brain plaques of low intensity “with various doses to test what we know in theory: we know the circuits involved in the process of numbness and know that these electric currents are capable of inhibit or excite neurons,” explained Paolo Maria Rossini, the experiment coordinator and professor of neurology at the Catholic University.

“Our experiment will evaluate both possibilities, inhibition and excitation and try to position the electrodes also on mastoid bone behind the ear.
In this position, you will create a flow of current through the brain stem, where are located the brain centers that regulate sleep, “he added.

About 20 young people between 22 and 28 years, agreed to undergo the study, which is weekly, consisting of a stimulation of 15-20 minutes. Then spend the night at the Sleep Laboratory of Psychophysiology of the University Sapienza, controlled by an electroencephalogram.

This stage of the test is conducted on healthy subjects and only then may proceed with the analysis of sleepless individuals.

How do I save babies born prematurelyIn the extreme cases, they are babies that fit in the palm of a hand. In certain circumstances, these young are born very prematurely, and the only way to survive is to complete gestation in an artificial way, i.e. in an incubator simulating the conditions of the womb, as long as necessary.

Fortunately, unlike what happened a few years ago, today the recovery of premature babies is becoming higher. New criteria, such as
prioritize contact with their parents, as well as huge medical advances, have contributed to a marked improvement in the super wind rates of these infants worldwide.
For information on premature birth comes more and more sectors of the population in our country is being held from next Monday October 4, the first week of prematurely, organized by UNICEF Argentina, and of which more than 70 maternity in 45 cities in 17 provinces.

The occasion will be used to communicate about the rights they have mothers and premature babies, and each health center will organize different activities. Among them: talks, games, children’s shows, video conferencing, training sessions,
and more. The idea is to repeat the event every year.

ORGANIZING According to World Health Organization (WHO), the premature infant is one born before 37 weeks of pregnancy and one of the features found in low birth weight. According to the same source, is considered low birth weight below 2,500 g, very low birth weight to less than 1,500 g, and extremely low birth weight below 1,000 g.
These little ones are born when they are not ready to do so, since many of its vital functions like breathing, are not yet developed.

Unfortunately, the leading cause of infant mortality, i.e. during the first year of life, prematurely, and in this case, the key insight is the weight they are born. While virtually all infants less than 2500g survived, not so with the smaller, less than 1,500 or 1,000 g.
Given that early births are partly preventable, unique campaign aims to raise awareness of the major risk factors that trigger, and relevant to the lives and work of women, poverty, issues biological and psychological.
