Nanoparticle Combination Painkiller to Save Lives at Home and on the Battlefield

Sunday, November 15th, 2009

DailyTech – Nanoparticle Combination Painkiller to Save Lives at Home and on the Battlefield.

Morphine + special new drug + polymer nanoparticles = a lifesaver.
With injury, chronic or sudden, comes pain.  The severity of pain can cause a variety of detrimental effects and dangers.  One of the most common pain-relievers, used both on battlefields and in hospitals at home, is Morphine.

Morphine is a powerful pain reliever, but it has the unfortunate side effect of lowering blood pressure and depressing normal breathing.  Both effects can cause a shortage of oxygen in the blood stream, a potentially deadly stress on an already injured patient.  Typically in a hospital setting the effects are controlled with an antimorphine agent such as Naloxone, but on the battlefield, without the extensive monitoring equipment of a hospital, this becomes a dangerous art.

Now researchers at the University of Michigan have devised both a new drug and a new delivery system that promises to help control these side effects and bring safer, more effective pain relief to hospitals and to our soldiers serving overseas.

The new drug, a Naloxone derivative, transforms into Naloxone, only when blood oxygen levels dip to low, indicating the Morphine is interfering with breathing.  Describes Baohua Huang, Ph.D., the study’s first author and a research investigator at the Michigan Nanotechnology Institute and in Internal Medicine (MNIMBS), “When respiratory distress is too severe, that will trigger release of Naloxone, the antagonist (morphine-suppressing) drug. When the oxygen blood levels go up, that will stop the action of the antagonist drug and more morphine will be available.”

Honda Reveals ‘Personal Mobility’ Device

DailyTech – Honda Reveals ‘Personal Mobility’ Device.

Honda recently showed off a new personal mobility technology that closely mimics a robotic unicycle designed to help disabled people move around.

The new device, the U3-X, has a seat height a bit higher than an average person’s waistline, and riders must jump up a bit before they can put their feet on a foot rest.  Honda designed the U3-X so it can move forward and backwards, sideways and diagonally.

Riders simply need to lean the direction they wish to go in, and it has a top speed of 3.7 MPH.

NASA Announces “Significant” Amount of Moon Water Discovered

DailyTech – Mission Success: NASA Announces “Significant” Amount of Moon Water Discovered.

The Shepherding Rocket then flew through the over 350 tons of excavated material, relaying readings back to Earth, before making its own crash-landing on the Lunar surface.  After a month of analysis, NASA announced the results at a triumphant press conference at NASA’s Ames Research Center at Moffett Field near San Francisco, California.

Describes NASA scientist Anthony Colaprete, “I’m here today to tell you that indeed, yes, we found water. And we didn’t find just a little bit; we found a significant amount.”

He says an estimated dozen two-gallon buckets of water (in other words, approximately 24 gallons of water) was detected in the excavated debris — a significant amount of water.  This provides the most compelling evidence to date in thelong running debate over whether the Moon has water frozen in its rocky soil.  The composition was analyzed using spectrometers onboard the tailing rocket.

English Russia » Hot Gaming.

Not so long ago in Moscow there was held a tournament of Counter Strike 1.6 game.The event didn’t promise too much, just a usual competition between two Russian top teams. They are Virtus.pro and forZe, the most famous game crews not only in their homeland, but worldwide also. In the beginning everything’s was as usual, teams were preparing for the game, setting up their devices and etc. Tho there was one “but”: some nameless girls, of which nobody knew, were sitting and walking around the gaming-room. And when the game started, the whole room of a playground turned into a dance floor with loud music and half-naked hot girls. It seems that sponsors of the event wanted to make a surprise for boys and test them for firmness. Let’s see what was more important for hi-tech gamers, pretty girls or their score in the game?

Ai Sp@ce is a Japanese virtual 3D massively multiplayer online social game (MMOSG) developed by several companies that form the Ai Sp@ce Production Committee which was launched on October 15, 2008, despite an earlier announcement of a summer 2008 release.[1][2] Beta testing commenced between mid-September and mid-October 2008.[3] Primary development was handled by Headlock, with Dwango providing the world’s infrastructure and Internet service. Dwango’s subsidiary Niwango ties in the Nico Nico Anime Channel from the Nico Nico Douga video sharing website by providing users the opportunity to upload gameplaysequences online.[4]

A downloadable client program enables its users to interact through motional avatars with each other and primarily with bish?jo game heroines from three visual novels:Clannad by Key under Visual Art’sShuffle! by Navel under Omegavision, and Da Capo II by Circus.[5] After a player creates an avatar, one of the bish?jo game heroines is selected as a personal character doll, or “chara-doll”, to live with on one of the game’s three virtual “islands” which are patterned on the worlds featured in the three visual novels. The islands are connected by a central Akihabara Island where players with their chara-dolls can gather for chatting and events.[1] The first theme song for Ai Sp@ce is sung by Kotoko.[1]
