EINSTEIN ROBOT

November 13th 2009 15:35
The great scientist of all times Albert Einstein looked around, made eye contact and smiled. The renowned scientist has been dead for more than 50 years but he was reincarnated in the form of an empathetic robot that pushes the boundaries of automation by being able to interact with people using emotional nuances. The rubberized rendition of Einstein’s head and shoulders with piercing movable eyes, a shock of white hair and distinctive moustache dazzled the audience. The robot Einstein follows people with his eyes and smiles or frowns as appropriate. This is the only robot that can understand feeling and mimic.

Added salt increases hypertension

November 13th 2009 15:32
Health experts are urging people to avoid food with high salt content because it may lead to health problems like hypertension and strokes. Customers must be vigilant, read food labels, and demand low salt food in stores and restaurants.
Of the estimated one billion people living with hypertension, about 30% can attribute it to excess salt intake. According to them, populations, such as the Yanomami Indians in South America, with very low levels of salt intake do not have hypertension.
In contrast, Japan, with a salt intake of 15 g per person, has high rates of hypertension and the highest stroke rates in the industrialized world. Health Experts recommend a maximum daily intake of 2.8 g for active young people, and 2.2 for older adults.
The correct default should be no added salt in food we purchase, leaving those who still wish to do so free to indulge at their own risk.

Myocardial bridging

November 6th 2009 20:44
Myocardial bridging – where portion of coronary is buried in myocardium, causes narrowing of artery when heart muscle contracts during systoly leading to decreased blood flow and pain. Usually benign with mild symptoms. If severe significant symptoms are present –deroofing of myocardial bridge segment or bypass grafting is required.

Indications for stress ECG test

October 22nd 2009 05:43
Stress ECG Test is useful to detect any evidence of decreased myocardial blood flow when patient symptoms are not clear cut and when ECG and Echo are not suggestive of coronary artery disease. It is useful to assess severity and prognosis of coronary artery disease. Also useful in advising fitness and workload for patients during rehabilitation period.

Left ventricular hypertrophy

October 15th 2009 05:35
Left ventricular hypertrophy is increased myocardial wall thickness due to increased load on the heart muscle due to high BP or left ventricular outflow obstruction. Increased muscle mass with fibrosis and inadequate myocardial capillary growth results in imbalance between myocardial blood supply and demand which may present like angina, arrhythmia and diastolic dysfunction which may cause abnormal filling pressures and failure in long term cases.

Whooping Cough - Treatment

October 8th 2009 03:52
• Garlic is one of the most effective remedies for whooping cough. The syrup of garlic should be given in doses of five drops to a teaspoon, two or three times a day, to treat this condition. It should be given more often if the coughing spells are frequent and violent.
• Ginger is another effective remedy for whooping cough. A teaspoon of fresh ginger juice, mixed with a cup of fenugreek decoction and honey to taste, is an excellent diaphoretic. The fenugreek decoction can be made by boiling one teaspoon of seeds in 250 ml of water till it is reduced to half.
• Syrup prepared by mixing a teaspoon of fresh radish juice with an equal quantity of honey and a little rock salt, is beneficial in the treatment. It should be given thrice daily

Computer Virus

October 7th 2009 03:42
1) Viruses are small programs that are created to cause harm to the computer by deleting or corrupting the data in them.
2) These are spread through data carriers like floppy discs and CD and now more frequently through emails. The virus lodges itself in the computers in infects and begin to destroy its host either immediately or on a trigger like a specific date that it is programmed to activate.
3) Computers that are protected by anti-virus software and firewalls mostly manage to destroy the virus and remain unaffected. Those without these precautions may succumb to the virus and lose valuable data. Data carried from an affected PC to another usually harbor the virus as well

Sonet - Optical Network

September 26th 2009 06:26
Sonet (Synchronous Optical Network) is a high-speed, physical layer network designed to carry large volumes of traffic over relatively long distances on fiber optic cabling using lasers or light-emitting diodes (LEDs). It provides a standard interface for communications carriers to connect networks based on fiber optic cable to handle multiple data types (voice, video and so on). Sonet defines a technology for carrying many signals of different capacities through a synchronous, flexible, optical hierarchy. This is accomplished by means of a byte-interleaved multiplexing scheme. Byte-interleaving simplifies multiplexing and offers end-to-end network management. Sonet was proposed by Bellcore in the mid-‘80s and now an ANSI standard. It is a successor to other well-known communication technology implemented on fiber optics network called PDH (Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy).

It possesses several characteristics that make it good for the internet today: It defines clear interoperability standards between different vendors’ products. It can carry nearly any higher-level protocol (including IP), and includes built-in support for ease of management and maintenance. Sonet has emerged as a powerful protocol which is extensively used for large and high performance networks
