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.

The Hindu dated 2-7-2015.
