The District Administration launched an active network of
Ambulances named as 'RAKSHA' to ensure real time availability of
medical assistance during medical emergencies, accidents and
disasters. The Honorable Chief Minister of Kerala, Shri. Oommen
Chandy inaugurated the District level launch of RAKSHA Project on
26.07.2015 at 12.00 noon. The venue of the programme was Durbar
Hall Ground, Ernakulam .
The firing of a single neuron leads to new memories being
ormed. Researchers have finally found a specific region in the brain-
medial temporal lobe-that plays a key role in rapidly forming
memories about everyday events. The medial temporal lobe is
ssociated with episodic memory-the brain's ability to recall
ituations like meeting a friend in, say, a mall. Episodic memory logs
uch happenings and very rapidly forms new associations in the brain.
People suffering from Alzheimer's and other neurological disorders
have this type of memory affected .Hence the results of a study
published in the journal Neuron on 2-07-2015 has great clinical
ignificance. The study also found that firing of a single neuron led to
new memories being formed in the human brain. This study was
onducted by Dr.Matias J.Ison from University of Leicester, USA
The Hindu dated 2-7-2015 by Mr.R.Prasad.
Exposure to ionizing radiation at high doses causes Cancer.
But there is uncertainty at low doses typically received by radiation
workers and patients undergoing diagnostic radiation procedures. A
and mark study of 308297 radiation workers employed in France,
U.K., and U.S.A. published on line in The Lancet Hematology (21-6-
2015) provides strong evidence of positive association between
protracted low –dose radiation exposure and Leukemia. The study
provided strongest support yet for the idea that long term exposure to
ow dose radiation increases the risk of Leukemia, although the rise is
only minuscule.
