Technologies

Introduction

Technology is one of the pillars that underpin modern society and this is not a derogation in the study of medical sciences, for these reasons we will give a look at different technologies proving useful in studying basic science of medicine.

In the study of human Anatomy is essential we manage some information and techniques, but it is also important to have proved necessary implements such as saws, formalin, tweezers and gloves. In Histology the tecnology results more necesary, for example we need a microscope, ligths, differents tipes of stains like eosin, and in Physiology we need the same things that in Histology and Anatomy but the Physiology studies the function of the human body.

Body:

In medicine there are a lot of theories and tecnology is one of the tools we possess in order to prove these theories, but the technology not only helps provide theories but also vital to meet our world more fully and in the case of medical science the human body, both in its physiological, histological and anatomical level. For these reasons, I can assert that the medical technology is one of the better tools for investigation today.

In Histology results fundamental the use of microscope, stains, ligths and human histological cuts, but the technology is not everything at the same time we need a person trained, with sufficient studies and intelligence in order to use these tools and demostrate theories achieve or discover a new stings for example, in Anathomy we need lees tools but this tools results very importants for example tweezers and formalin are essential tools for creating a good Anatomical body, In Physiology we need tools and skills rather similar but not identical.

Is ideal to have people prepared, good technological materials, curiosity and research methodologies to obtain effective results in the future, if any of these elements are missing is almost impossible to achieve good results at the level of scientific development


Conclusion

Technology alone is not sufficient to guarantee human development but with intelligence, human curiosity and the scientific method are the four key pillars that underpin the development and medical research

It concludes that without technology we could not have such high levels of knowledge, not only in the area of medical science but in all areas as mathematics, physical, physical architecture, antropology, physiopatology, genetic, robotic, paleontology among others. But it is equally important to have a profecional prepared to handle this level of technology.

Technology is the basis on which human knowledge is based, besides technology protects us from the outside world.

Travel Experience


Since I was a baby I like travel, I like be in the car with the window open and see the different landscapes with the wind brushing my face.
Maybe if I had a lot of money so I only dedicate to travel and learn about different cultures in the world.
But my situation is not this, and I have to conform with travel when I have time or when I'm on vacation.

When I know that I'll travel I get very anxious and start to prepare every detail, to avoid any unforeseen. For example when I go to the beach, which is usually always in the summer, and I know that I'll stay for at least 3 weeks, beginning more than a week before leaving to buy either sunscreen, hawaianas, clothes etc.. I don´t no why but I do.

My favourite place to go is the beach, because I can go with my family and meet with some friends. Also I like the beach because I love bathing in the sea. I recomended to go to Coquimbo because this place had everything you want from tours,discos, bike paths, pubs, malls, museums, beaches, etc.

This year when I went to Coquimbo with my family and my boyfriend, was a day when we went to visit some friends who were in Tongoy, where they were was a distant land to the people and the road was dirt, what happened is we had to bend and my uncle got into a pit of sand and the ligh truck stalled. All we had to get off, and stay in the middle of nowhere without a tree that shaded us. My uncle tried to remove it but it was worse and there were about an hour while our friends arrived in another car with a rope. After that I just wanted to take a large glass of water and power going to go to throw the water to pass the terrible heat.

The Films of my Life


Hi everyone today I I will talk about movies :)

I love watching all kinds of movies except science fiction because I hated.
The kind of movies I like to see are the romantic with a touch of suspense, accompanied an unexpected outcome like A lot like love for example or Black Book that combines historical facts with suspense and romance.

I sometimes like to go to the cinema to watch movies, but only major releases as Harry Potter, big romantic and horror movies, because the screen is very big and the sound is much louder that makes you wrap in the movie.
I like too see movies in my home because I have a sound theather and with my mom prepare a good hash, we took to the piece, we lie and we get to enjoy a good movie without paying the high costs of going to the cinema.
My favorite movie is pride and perjudice, I never get tired of seeing it, nor read the book. The story is based on Jane Austen's novel about five sisters - Jane, Elizabeth, Mary, Kitty and Lydia Bennet - in Georgian England. Their lives are turned upside down when a wealthy young man (Mr. Bingley) and his best friend (Mr. Darcy) arrive in their neighborhood.

I have to say I'm no good for Chilean movies because they always associate everything with sex, but there are exceptions like "La vida de los peces".
One of the films that had left a trace upon me is "Prime" because when I saw the film for the first time I said "I never fall in love with someone younger than me", and am now engaged to someone younger than me.

Now I'm anxious to go see the film one of the last parts of harry potter. I'll go with my mom and my boyfriend.

Neuromyth


Hi everyone today I'll speak about Dr. Maldonado's paper neuromyth. One caught my attention " We only use 10% of our brain"

A lot of times we hear that the people said we use only 10% of our brains, but dr. Maldonado said in his paper that this typical sentence is False.
After to read this paper I belive this sentence like any of you, but recently the scientists have found that this is false.
In 1930 one scientist explorer the brain using electric shocks and many areas, as many areas of the brain did not react to this shocks and he concluded that this areas had not function. Maybe before this results the people started to talk about we do not use the 100% of our brains.
But with the time, this theory was annulled. Years ago with the technology the scientists found that the brain is organized in multiple areas, such as vision, hearing, etc.. But if we're seeing us when we are also listening, we're moving, talking is, our brain is activating a number of areas for everything we do everyday is very difficult that only a part of our brain will be active.

Now if we think more deeply, we realize that even when we sleep we are using our brains, or do not you dream? when I read this article never in my life I had been thinking about this, and now I realize it's true, if we dream it should be because some part of our brain is active and if we add to this all the above areas is definitely impossible to think not to use all our capabilities.

I found this article fascinating because I was one of the persons that believe that we use only 10% of our brains and the doctor showed me with simple examples that this phrase was just a big myth.

Work stress!


What is stress?
Many people ask this question and I think that stress is a growing problem, disabling either in the university and at work where he has a personal cost, socially and economically very important. The costs and losses for the cost of stress are many and increasing year after year, as some articles I've read the rate of absenteeism, low productivity in companies, occupational accidents and low morale at work are some of these losses.

Stress usually starts with a set of environmental demands received by the individual, which should give an adequate response, launching their coping resources. When demand from the environment (work, social, etc.) is excessive compared to coping resources owned, will develop a series of adaptive reactions, resource mobilization, involving physiological arousal. This stress response includes a number of negative emotional reactions, of which the most important are: anxiety, anger and depression.

In my physiology classes I have learned for example that the human body has a great set of protection mechanisms for almost any situation that produces stress or affect organ function. This reaction causes the body maintain balance. The stress response is not negative in itself, but on the contrary, it facilitates more resources to deal with situations that pose exceptional.
This is because what happens to me is that many times when an activity does not generate a minimum of stress eventually becomes boring and uninspiring and consequently becomes stressful

Finally I believe that the stress in a just measure is necessary for our development nevertheless when this one becomes slightly disagreeable and we use enormous mental and organic energy we have to stop and consult a specialist.

A healthy lifestyle


In these times is extremely difficult to live healthy because we have a lot of tentations.

But what does that mean? In general, a healthy person doesn't smoke, is at a healthy weight, eats healthy and exercises. Sounds simple, doesn't it?
The trick to healthy living is making small changes...taking more steps, adding fruit to your cereal, having an extra glass of water...these are just a few ways you can start living healthy without drastic changes.
Starting with small changes can go creating a routine and get stronger every day diet and exercise as these changes we do not ruin the mood as many people tend to happen

Eating a healthy diet is another part of the healthy lifestyle: eat more fruit, sneak in more veggies, switch your salad dressing, eat low-fat or fat-free dairy, make some substitutes, etc.

Also the habits of a person with a healthy lifestyle are doing exercices, take a walk,use the stairs and leave the elevator,etc.
The weekends are fine to go perfect for exercising and thus maintain a healthy lifestyle, for example you can go to the mountain bike and get to the virgin.
Another option is if you do not have much time in the week to go to gimasio go on the weekends and so do the exercise that could not be done in week.
For this is recommended use clothes to use light clothes and good sneakers.

Is difficult follow this, but all is posible, even more if it's your own life.

My favourite get-away


Hi!

When I think of a place I go when I feel stressed or tired many places come to my mind and I think is very difficult to know which is my favorite.
Place depends on how I feel.
When I feel stressed soil tell my boyfriend to go to Sculpture Park, is a nice place in Stgo. It is a few meters from the underground " Salvador". I like this place because is silence, there are many green areas where you can sit back and look at the sky through the leaves of the trees and it is best that is in a place where you can hear the birds singing. And it is best that I can do in the company of my boyfriend.

Another place I go when I feel tired or stressed is the "Cerro San Cristobal", I think it's because I always went with my parents when we were small and there is a place that brings back memories of childhood and makes me de-stress and think more positive when I have problems.

But the best place is Coquimbo, I go when I can and I always think it's best.
Coquimbo has many places to go, such is the "Barrio Ingles" where there are many places to eat or go to spend a pleasant evening. Another fantastic place is its beaches, which are not many waves, where you can swim far offshore and without much risk. Another thing is that between Coquimbo and La Serena is a great bike path where I can use to exercise and relax.
The problem is that coquimbo is far from Santiago so I go only in vacation, but it is certainly one of the best places to de-stress and I can really go 100% happy.
