A Sumatran orangutan called Rakus applied chewed leaves of a particular plant to heal a wound on his face
For the first time it was observedmedicinal use of plants for the treatment of a wound in animals. A group of researchers from the German Institute Max Planck driven by Caroline Schuppli e Isabelle Laumer confirmed that a Sumatran orangutan named Greedy applied a chewed leaf of a plant known for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties to a facial wound. As Dagospia reports, the treatment worked perfectly.
It is known that animals usually self-medicate, for example by ingesting some plants to eliminate parasites or rubbing leaves and roots to relieve skin inflammation, but it had never been established whether these treatments were effective. Greedy to cure himself he used the leaves of Fibraurea tincture o Yellow Root, a tympanic vine from Sumatra which is also used in local traditional medicine. After chewing them, he applied the paste to the wound for several minutes. The treatment lasted several days.

The Impact of Social Isolation on Brain Cells: New Study Reveals Disturbing Findings
A recent study published in the journal “Brain Structure and Function” has revealed concerning effects of social isolation on brain health and social cognition in mice. The research emphasizes the critical role of social interaction in early life and provides insights into the cellular changes that occur due to isolation.
Previous studies have already established a correlation between social deprivation and various brain alterations in both humans and animal models. These changes often affect areas involved in emotional processing and social interaction. However, there are still gaps in understanding the specific cellular modifications triggered by isolation and how these changes manifest in behavioral outcomes.
To address these gaps, the researchers conducted a neurodevelopmental study using male C57BL/6 mice. These mice were divided into two groups: one experiencing social isolation and the other being group-housed as a control. The isolated mice were housed individually to simulate a lack of social interaction, while the control group mice were housed in groups of four.
The impact of isolation was analyzed through a combination of behavioral tests and biological assays. The researchers utilized the Crawley’s Three-Chamber Social Approach Test to evaluate social interaction preferences and the ability to recognize previously encountered mice.

A majority of doctors are concerned that the savings will have a negative impact on the ability to retain and recruit staff. Close to one in four state that they are considering leaving the profession, and almost twice as high a percentage are considering reducing working hours.
This is shown by new figures from the Medical Association.
– Nearly seven out of ten doctors are worried that the cuts will have a negative impact on the opportunities to recruit and retain staff. The provision of expertise is a matter of fate for healthcare, therefore the state is now required to take greater responsibility for governancesays Sofia Rydgren Stale, president of the Medical Association.
A new member survey from the Medical Association shows that nearly one in four, 23 percent, of doctors have considered leaving the profession in the past year due to the workload. Four out of ten have considered reducing working hours. The figures should be seen in the light of the fact that roughly eight out of ten believe that the savings will mean that their workload will now increase.
Stintfang Youth Hostel: Inexpensive overnight stay in Hamburg with a view of the Elbe |> Guide Travel
As of: May 2, 2024 1:02 p.m
The youth hostel on the Stintfang is located on a hill directly above the Hamburg jetties, with a view over the harbor. It is also located on the only vineyard in the Hanseatic city.
Only a few accommodations in Hamburg can boast a similarly exclusive location – and at typical youth hostel prices. The in-house terrace offers a great panoramic view over the harbor and the Elbe. There is a subway and S-Bahn stop directly below the building. It is only a few steps to the landing stages where the harbor tours start and the Elbe ferries depart.
Reeperbahn and fish market right next door
The youth hostel is located elevated on the Stintfang behind the jetties.
It is also not far to the Reeperbahn, and the fish market, which takes place every Sunday morning, is also easy to reach on foot. No wonder that the Stintfang youth hostel is one of the most popular in Germany in terms of the number of overnight stays. Around 360 guests can stay overnight in the 88 rooms.
An overnight stay with breakfast costs from 27 euros.
Social Isolation Linked to Decreased Brain Cells and Impaired Social Recognition in Mice, Study Finds
Social Isolation: A Threat to Brain Health and Social Cognition
A recent study has shed light on the detrimental effects of social isolation on brain structure and function. The research, published in the journal Brain Structure and Functionreveals that not only does social isolation impair the ability of mice to recognize other mice socially, but it also leads to a decrease in brain cells.
The Importance of Social Interaction
Previous studies have established a connection between social deprivation and various brain changes in both humans and animal models. These changes particularly affect areas involved in emotional processing and social interaction. However, there is still much to learn about the specific cellular alterations that occur due to isolation and how these changes manifest behaviorally.
To address this gap, researchers conducted a study focusing on neurodevelopmental perspectives by analyzing the effects of social isolation during a critical post-weaning period in mice.
Unraveling the Effects of Isolation
In this study, male C57BL/6 mice were used due to their well-documented genetics and predictable behavior patterns. The mice were divided into two groups: one experienced social isolation while the other served as a control group living in groups of four.
Facing Rejection from Friends While Battling COVID-19: One Womans Harrowing Experience
I recently contracted coronavirus. I usually like to be sick at home by myself without anyone touching me. I treat myself gently, look the way I want and everything. But this time I got very sick. The first two weeks I had no strength for anything. There was no mention of going to the pharmacy. I didn’t even want to order medicines delivered to my home. I wanted to eat a little, but I couldn’t organize the process either. She lay helpless and prayed that everything would end.
But I was getting worse and worse. On the third day of the illness, the temperature rose and became very high. I realized it was time to ask someone for help.
First, I wrote to my best friend. But as luck would have it, she went to live with her parents in another city. I’m sure she would help me if she was in town.
Although, on the other hand, she couldn’t help but hear in my voice how bad I felt. I do not, of course, ask you to change all your plans and run from another city to me. But it would be possible to offer remote assistance.
The evolutionarily newest part of the human brain is more peculiar than believed
The neocortex, a structure essential for human intelligence, is less than five millimeters thick. There, in the outermost layer of the brain, 20 billion neurons process countless sensory perceptions, plan actions, and form the basis of our consciousness. How do these neurons process all this complex information? That largely depends on how they are connected to each other.
What was known until now about the neuronal architecture of the human neocortex was based mainly on findings made from studying animal models such as mice.
The human neocortex is much thicker and more complex than that of the mouse. However, the scientific community had until now assumed (partly due to lack of data) that it followed the same basic principles of connectivity.
Now, in a new study, for which cutting-edge technology and exceptionally difficult to obtain tissue samples have been used, it has been proven that, contrary to what was assumed until now, the nerve cells of the human neocortex are very connected. different from those of mice.
The study was carried out by a team including, among others, Yangfan Peng and Jörg Geiger, from the Neuroscience Research Center, attached to the Charité University Hospital in Berlin,
Marwin Gonzalezs Advice Leads to Victory for Orix and Espinoza
Orix, Espinoza believed in the “distribution” of Gonzalez
■Orix – Nippon Ham 3-1 (4th, Kyocera Dome)
[Attenzione]All you want to watch is professional baseball, so click here for “DAZN BASEBALL” where you can watch it right away with easy registration.
A voice coming from an unexpected direction led them to victory. Orix pitcher Anderson Espinoza started the game against Nippon-Ham, which took place at his base on the 4th. Despite his pitches, which allow hits every time, he got his fourth victory, tying for first place in the championship, with 6 innings of 99 pitches, 8 hits and 1 run allowed.
I trusted in the “voice of God”. In the 6th inning, with two outs and a man on third base, the score was 3-1 and a two-run lead. After Gunji came to the plate and the count was 2-2, second baseman and infielder Marwin Gonzalez came to the mound to take a breather. After speaking for a few seconds, the stadium erupted in applause.
And then there was the decisive fifth shot. Espinoza made a low curve to the outside corner and Gunji’s club, which had lowered its hips, sliced through the air.
FP Seidl: City Councilor for Health Hacker must ensure cooperation with AUVA to ensure patient care in Vienna 2024-05-04 13:14:35
Immediate measures to improve working conditions in the Brigittenau trauma center are required
Vienna (OTS) – In view of the recently published reports about the outsourcing of operations from the Brigittenau trauma center and the resulting grievances, FPÖ Vienna health spokesman LAbg. Wolfgang Seidl is calling for urgently needed measures to improve the situation.
“The decision to outsource operations for fire safety reasons has placed enormous pressure on staff. What is particularly alarming is the announcement that every second double-staffed night shift will be canceled in May for reasons of economy. This is absolutely unacceptable and endangers not only the health of patients, but also the well-being of our medical staff,” said Seidl.
The Freedom Party underlines the need for AUVA to reconsider plans to reduce night shifts and ensure that working conditions are in line with the high demands of medical care. “We call on AUVA to take immediate action to increase capacity and staffing at all outsourced locations. It must be ensured that every postponement and outsourcing of operations is carried out in compliance with the highest medical standards,” adds Seidl and at the same time reminds Vienna City Councilor for Health Hacker that sensible cooperation with the AUVA is essential.
