Progress Vs Virus, Bacteria, & Bad Hearts, Note Travelers: covid
Neil #Gershenfeld directs #MIT’s #Center for Bits and Atoms. He teaches one of the most popular classes, “#How to Make Almost Anything”. One of his students used to run all the computers at Twitter. Another built and runs all the computers at Facebook.
During covid, one of the groups he assembled showed #ventilators are not panaceas. Instead, we must intervene long before ventilating. The world’s full of great people, but traditional pathways limit them. We need new organizations to utilize them. Conventional medicine follows regulation and rules. However, better results come from #soft power and many players #opting in.
Progress Vs Virus, Bacteria, & Bad Hearts, Note Travelers: antibiotics
It’s a never-ending arms race with #bacteria. Tens of thousands of Americans die each year from common bacteria resistant to drugs. Those bacteria grab the drug and deactivate it, rendering it useless. Most #antibiotics come from naturally occurring compounds that other bacteria produce. Researchers are restructuring antibiotics so bad bacteria can not recognize the old drug’s molecules.
Progress Vs Virus, Bacteria, & Bad Hearts, Note Travelers: heart-patch
Pacemakers consist of rigid components that do not blend well with moving heart muscle. A new device is the first that’s rubbery and compatible with heart tissue. It won’t damage the heart muscle as it beats. It tightly covers a broad surface of the heart. This #patch accurately measures temperature, strain, and electrophysiological activity. The patch even administers treatments, such as heart pacing and thermal ablation. Amazingly, it harvests power directly from the beating of the heart.
To heal while awaiting progress, visit Mexico. In the state of Jalisco, one of the most colorful towns is officially designated “Magical”, on #Lake Chapala. The original population of #Ajijic estimates that about 20,000 foreigners live with them. Most come from America, Canada, and England. Hardly any expats ever return for healthcare, it’s so great in Jalisco. To arrange your appointments and lodging, etc, contact DocTours.
