Complications of COVID-19

The risk of blood clots after COVID-19 has been identified. Swedish scientists have found that the risk of deep vein thrombosis (occurring most often in the legs or pelvis) increases five times within three months after infection. Particularly susceptible to the appearance of blood clots were people who were ill with a severe form of coronavirus, as well as those who have chronic diseases. Complications of COVID-19

Defense strategy

Barramundi cod fry Juveniles have a white background with round black spots and constantly swim head down, some juveniles such as this cod tend to swim vertically with a quick tail wag. They do this to mimic flatworms, sea slugs, which are toxic if ingested. A very smart defense strategy to avoid predators.

Cyber Rodeo

The Cyber Rodeo party we wrote about earlier was a great success. The celebration took place last night at the Giga Texas site, which is now Tesla's global headquarters. During his speech, Elon Musk promised that the Cybertruck and Tesla Semi would be put on the assembly line in 2023. Among the planned products that should appear in the near future, robot taxis and the Tesla Optimus robot were also named.

Mushrooms can talk

This conclusion was made by scientists from the University of Bristol. They found that mushrooms exchange electrical impulses through the mycelium (mycelium). And the structure of these impulses surprisingly resembles that which is characteristic of human speech. The researchers counted up to 50 words. It is likely that such signals help maintain the integrity of the mushrooms - similar to how wolves howl to keep the pack intact - or communicate the detected food to other parts of their mycelium.

Benefits of coffee.

Benefits of coffee. The benefits of coffee for people over 50 are revealed. Scientists from the Australian Institute of Heart and Diabetes named after Baker have found that such an everyday drink as coffee is useful for people over 50 years old. Researchers have revealed that drinking several cups of the drink daily can improve the functioning of the heart muscle. In addition, the experts concluded that coffee has a positive effect on people who already have heart disease. It turned out that in this case, the drink helps to reduce the risk of early death, the scientists noted. They urged not to avoid drinking it, but rather to drink coffee even for those who have heart problems.

Consequences of mild forms of coronavirus for the brain

According to scientists, the disease can provoke the appearance of a large number of foci of inflammation and small hemorrhages. The study was conducted on monkeys that did not experience severe symptoms of COVID-19 during the observation, so biologists did not expect to see a significant negative effect on the body. In some cases, these pathologies led to large-scale death of nerve cells, which formed hypoxia in certain areas of the brain. According to researchers, this phenomenon explains clouding of consciousness and other disorders that occur in the head during the acute stage of the disease.

New research from The Atlantic about the working day

After March 2020, due to remote work, people began to work not from 9 to 5, but from 9 to 22. If earlier workers had 2 peaks of activity, now there are 3 of them - another, small one appears. late evening. This is called "triple peak day". Why is the work day so long? The fact is that remote work is not monolithic: I worked for 20 minutes, flipped through the tape, made tea. Although one can argue about the monolithic activity in the office, the general logic is clear. And endless phone calls lengthen the day - now people have to spend 250% more time in all sorts of meetings.

Dolphins help to catch fish

In the town of Laguna in southern Brazil, dolphins often help local fishermen. A group of dolphins drives a school of fish to the shore, at this time the fishermen stand in shallow water. Then one of the dolphins turns over at the right moment, which serves as a sign for the fishermen to throw the nets into the water. The advantage of dolphins is that they feast on fish that have escaped the nets and swim towards them. No one specifically trained dolphins for this behavior, and the first mention of cooperation dates back to 1847.

Smell

Found a scent that most people like. Scientists from Oxford have found fragrances that all people like, regardless of where they were born. Among these was the aroma of vanilla and ethyl butyrate, which smells like peaches. They also identified the most unpleasant odors, such as isovaleric acid (found in cheese, soy milk, apple juice, and foot sweat).
