Imagen
Being diagnosed with a complex and serious disease like Parkinson’s is never easy. Patients and caregivers immediately start considering what changes will be necessary in order to make day-to-day life easier and safer for the recently diagnosed. There are several things you can do to improve your daily routine while living with Parkinson’s. Many of these changes  include small adjustments and renovations to your home, which should be your safe place. To help you with all these overwhelming changes, we’ve put together a list of tips based on suggestions from the Michael J. Fox Foundation. These tips will help you improve your life and safety while living and coping with Parkinson’s symptoms. 1. Don’t change all at once: It’s important that you don’t change the whole scene all at the same time; do it at a slow pace and start by making small changes.

Your Choices for Tattoo Removal

Imagen
A tattoo should be looked at as permanent body art, so when you're deciding to get one, plan on it adorning your body forever. That said, no matter how much you love your tattoo when you first get it, your opinion can change as time passes. There are tattoo removal options available, but be warned that they carry risks and may not be 100 percent effective. About Tattoo Removal The ink used in tattoos is designed to be permanent. Tattoo removal isn’t a viable backup in case you don't like your tattoo because you can’t count on any method working to remove every trace. Tattoo removal can be very expensive, take weeks or months to complete, and may even require surgery. Most important, tattoo removal methods aren't always successful — though they may minimize the appearance of a tattoo, they may not always completely get rid of it or restore skin to a flawless state. Above all, you should never attempt to remove a tattoo yourself or have it done at a tattoo parlor. Ins

3D Printed Clip Turns Smartphone into Powerful Microscope

Imagen
Modern smartphones feature incredible image sensors that are much better than professional equipment from only a few years ago. They’re great for microscopy and simple attachments in front of the lens can give great views of blood, cells, and other specimens. The only problem is that the sample has to be illuminated and having LEDs inside of smartphone clip-on microscopes made them quite large. Now engineers at the ARC Centre of Excellence for Nanoscale BioPhotonics in Australia have developed a clip-on dongle that uses the phone’s built-in light, or even the sun, to bathe the samples in light and magnify them to a resolution below 1/200th of a millimeter. Both brightfield and darkfield microscopy is possible with the device and it has already been verified for imaging animal and plant cells, as well as for assessing sperm motility. There’s no batteries to think about nor any other electronics to break. The attachment is purely optical in nature. The device can be printed and

X-RAY DETECTORS FOR DIGITAL RADIOGRAPHY: 11 TIPS TO PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT

Imagen
Treat your DR detectors like a Corvette. Rad techs often ask us for best practices for protecting DR detectors. My number one suggestion? Handle them with care. Many medical imaging providers have upgraded from CR to DR imaging because the technology is more efficient, quicker, and, most importantly, requires less dose to the patient. With fast and efficient DR technology, providers can see more patients and gain higher utilization of their assets. However, a broken DR cassette can bring the streamlined workflow to a halt. Following are 11 tips to help protect your investment in this crucial piece of diagnostic imaging equipment. Additionally, administrators need to educate their radiology technologists about the value of this DR asset. Some rad techs might not understand that the investment in a DRX detector – and thus the financial impact of damage – is much greater than the CR cassettes they handled in the past.

4 posibles causas del Parkinson

Imagen
While the exact cause of Parkinson’s disease is currently unknown, scientists have come up with four possible theories according to the Mayo Clinic. 1. Genetics There are certain genes which, when they become mutated, cause Parkinson’s disease. However, these mutated genes are very rare, except in cases where Parkinson’s runs in the family. There are also some gene variations which seem to slightly increase the risk of developing Parkinson’s. 2. Environment Researchers think that there are some environmental factors and toxins which may trigger Parkinson’s disease, although they feel the increased risk is small. 3. Presence of Lewy bodies Changes happening within the brain may also be a trigger for Parkinson’s disease. Lewy bodies are proteins found in brain cells which are biomarkers of the disease and may hold the key to finding out the exact cause. 4. Alpha-synuclein in Lewy bodies There are many different substances found in Lewy bodies, but scientists are focusing
