Schillaci, on personal shortage contribution of the residents Health and Wellbeing
(ANSA) – ROME, MARCH 28 – To combat the shortage of doctors, which will be exacerbated in the next 3-4 years by many retirements, it is necessary on the one hand to tackle the phenomenon of token holders and on the other to work for full inclusion in the ‘Ssn of residents. This was explained by the Minister of Health Orazio Schillaci, in a hearing at the Social Affairs Commission of the Chamber on the situation of emergency medicine and emergency rooms in Italy. “There is a shortage of personnel in the doctor sector – the minister points out -. However, if you look at the fact that cooperatives with token operators find doctors, then a question needs to be asked. Last year in the Bills decree we looked for very clear way of removing token doctors from the national health system.
Because it is the only way to ensure that those doctors then perhaps return to the NHS with different and fairer conditions.” “The shortage of doctors – he adds – must also be addressed in the next 3-4 years by giving greater space and greater professional dignity for trainees: before Covid there were 5,000 a year, now in the 3-4 years post Covid we have reached as many as 15,000.

Shohei Ohtani (30) of the Los Angeles Dodgers of the American Major League Baseball (MLB) completely denied the rumors of his involvement in the ‘illegal gambling controversy involving interpreters’. However, an American sports business expert continues to raise suspicions, saying, “Did Ohtani really not know?”
American sports business expert Joe Pompliano posted a post on his personal SNS (social network service) on the 26th (local time). He said, “Although Otani denied the allegations against him through a press conference, questions still remain.”
“There are two questions,” Pompliano said. “First, there was no explanation as to how the interpreter, Ippei Mizuhara, was able to access Otani’s account.”
He continued, “We will also have to explain how Otani did not know that a large amount of money was being withdrawn over several months.” At the same time,
Innovative therapeutic helmet promises advances in the treatment of Alzheimers

Electrical stimulation of certain areas of the brain can potentially treat degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s. This is what scientific studies in recent years have shown, says Dr. Bekim Osmani, co-founder and CEO of Bottneuro, a spin-off from the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Basel.
However, the targeted stimulation of brain areas through the skull is a difficult undertaking. Different head shapes and brain sizes make standard therapy impossible. With the neurostimulator Miamind, Bottneuro now offers a personalized solution. The system developed in Basel consists of a precisely fitting helmet equipped with 34 electrodes. The exact shape of the helmet and the placement of the electrodes is determined for each patient using an MRI scan of the head and brain and modeled on the computer. A 3D printer produces the finished helmet that fits perfectly on the head.

“We are developing the first medical device that offers personalized electrical stimulation therapy in a mobile device,” says Bekim Osmani. The helmet also includes a shoulder belt,
Breast implants, more guarantees for women who choose them for aesthetic purposes or after cancer
by Vera Martinella
The national register which collects data relating to all devices implanted in Italy is now active. Their traceability is thus ensured and the safety of those who carry them is improved. In our country 57 thousand are sold per year
It was established by law in 2012 and, after 12 years, it is now finally active: the National registry of breast prosthetic implants it became operational in 2023 and to date it collects the implantation or removal operations of each breast prosthesis carried out in almost all of Italy. «Almost all» because the national register is fed with data arriving from regions and autonomous provinces and only Basilicata is missing, which has not yet started its own regional register.
Despite the long process, our system is a model to follow for other countries: «We are among the first in the world: our Registry is the only mandatory one and the only one managed by the highest national authority on health (the ministry of Health, ed.), two decisive elements for the vastness and objectivity of the data collected” clarifies Stefania de Fazio, president of the Italian Society of Reconstructive-Regenerative and Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (Sicpre).
Texas Reports Second Human Case of Bird Flu in Dairy Cows: Potential for Human-to-Human Transmission Raises Concerns
Data Shows Second Human Case of Highly Virulent Bird Flu in Texas
A person in Texas is currently undergoing treatment for bird flu, marking the second human case caused by a highly virulent virus that has also affected dairy cows across several states. Federal and state officials provided updates on the situation on Monday.
The patient, whose only symptom was eye inflammation, was tested for flu last week and received confirmatory testing from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) over the weekend. They are currently being treated with oseltamivir, an antiviral drug.
According to Texas officials, the infected individual had direct exposure to dairy cattle suspected to be infected with avian influenza.
Potential Concerns Regarding Human-to-Human Transmission
Disease trackers have expressed alarm about the recent case as it raises concerns of human-to-human transmission of this pathogen. Although such transmissions occur infrequently worldwide and typically involve family members working with animals, it prompts questions about increased mammal-to-mammal transmission possibilities.
Federal officials emphasized that this infection does not significantly change the health risk assessment associated with bird flu among the general public in the United States. The overall risk remains low unless individuals have close or prolonged exposures to infected birds or other animals,
NASAs Curiosity Rover Explores Gediz Vallis on Mars to Uncover Mysteries of Ancient Water Disappearance
JAKARTA – Mars is one of the planets that is believed to have lakes until rivers dry up. Even though liquid water is difficult to find, the Curiosity robot is still continuing to explore the planet.
NASA, the developer of Curiosity, recently stated that their rover had arrived in an area called Gediz Vallis. This area was visited not to look for water, but to look for evidence that water once flowed and filled Mars.
Scientists believe that Mars was a very wet planet about billions of years ago. However, due to reasons that are still a mystery, liquid water disappeared forever from the surface of the Red Planet.
By exploring Gediz Vallis, NASA wants Curiosity to find signs of when liquid water started to disappear and what caused it. NASA also deliberately chose Gediz Vallis because the area is believed to have been a river in the past.
Gediz Vallis is a channel filled with rocks and large debris. Scientists want to know where it all comes from. Rivers may be the cause because their energy is strong enough to unite rocks with the bed.
Before exploring the Gediz Vallis region,

Reducing Square Jaw with Botulinum Toxin: New Treatment Option Approved
【Health & Wellness News】 While many people want their faces to appear smaller and slimmer, many attempts have been made to reduce benign masseter hypertrophy, also known as square jaw.
Surgical resection of the masticatory muscle, which is the main cause of square jaw, and liposuction have been used, but recently a treatment to reduce square jaw by injecting “botulinum toxin” into the jaw has been approved and is widely used square.
“Botulinum toxin” has been used cosmetically to reduce wrinkles between the eyebrows and around the eyes, but is also used in other fields due to its temporary muscle-reducing effect.
Meanwhile, Professor Kim Beom-jun and Professor Seok-jun from the Department of Dermatology at Chung-Ang University Hospital (director Kwon Jeong-taek) published an article on the results of a large-scale phase 3 study on effects of botulinum toxin (PrabotulinumtoxinA, Nabota, Daewoong) on the square jaw (Efficacy and safety of PrabotulinumtoxinA in subjects with benign masseteric hypertrophy: an open-label, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, multicenter extension study) has been published.
In a joint study with Professor Yangwon Lee’s team at Konkuk University Hospital, the research team administered botulinum toxin injections and placebo injections of normal saline to 180 patients,
These habits last 24 YEARS 2024-04-02 08:26:43
American researchers have talked about good habits that can extend life by about a quarter of a century.
Publika.az CNN reported about it.
According to research from the Million Veteran Program, presented at NUTRITION 2023, the annual meeting of the American Nutrition Society, scientists have named the eight most effective habits for prolonging life.
About 720,000 war veterans aged 40-99 participated in the study. Experts studied the lifestyle of each of the participants and determined which habits have a positive effect on life expectancy.
According to them, the implementation of these eight habits will extend the life of those who are already 40 years old by 24 years, those over 50 by 21 years, and those over 60 by 18 years.
So, the most effective way to prolong life is physical exercise. According to the lead author of the study, Xuan Mai Nguyen, people who exercise regularly and a lot have a 46 percent longer lifespan than those who don’t.
Second on the list for life expectancy were study participants who were not a ddicted to opioids — both powerful prescription painkillers and illegal drugs. According to one study,
