Fish die on the dock of Marina Vallarta.

Officially unknown causes of this phenomenon, a group of fishermen in the area say it's normal, because of the red tide.

But another part says that it is the result that fuel boaters thrown into the sea.

The truth is that at an early hour, it was the death of fish ecology any municipal authority, or state representation and
federation, had been present at the scene.

Fact that drew the attention mainly of residents and tourists who were in that area, which has restaurants that open early.

This means of communication, received the first report of the occurrence of fish past eight in the morning of Thursday 25 October, which marks Puerto Vallarta, 10 years Hurricane Kenna.

The presence of dead fish at some point of the bay, is not new, it is a topic addressed and work by fishermen who have noted this phenomenon is due to the presence of red tide, and in other cases the phenomenon of the child.

Based on the water temperature changes in the sea.

Although it is possible that the fish kill, obey the contaminated water after the area of ​​Marina Vallarta, full of yachts and boats.

Residents of Marina Vallarta, owners have seen fuel boats when thrown into the sea, one of the arguments do not rule could also have been the cause of fish kills.

Red Tide

Note that the red tide phenomenon is recurrent in the seas of the world and Mexico is no exception.

Due to his status in the Pacific Ocean, Puerto Vallarta has had consequences as a cause of fish kills.

Red tide or "hemotalasia" (= blood Hematos thalasos = sea), is a phenomenon that causes a change in the color of the sea due to the proliferation of millions of tiny algae. Even in ancient times it exclusively related red algae, today the term is used for any massive proliferation of algae.

Among the various agencies responsible for red tides, the most common are the dinoflagellates. These tiny organisms are able to synthesize potent biotoxins. Dinoflagellates are part of the food of bivalve molluscs (mussel, scallop, mussel, clam, etc.) And gastropods (snails), agencies that concentrate toxins and yet not suffer any change in color, odor or taste so that , to "naked eye", you can not detect their toxicity.

His appearance is favored by different conditions, such as absence of wind, the pollution caused by man, the high temperature or the presence of certain organic substances in water that promotes the development of algae. His disappearance, usually sudden, might respond to various factors such as the depletion of nutrients or oxygen and predation.

The major groups of toxins found in these algae are the amnesic, paralytic toxins and toxins gastric.

The red tide poisoning is manifested at first by a tingling in the lips, tongue, mouth and face. May appear paralysis, difficulty breathing, nausea, dizziness and vomiting. These symptoms usually appear within 30 to 60 minutes after ingestion. If shellfish concentrate a large amount of toxin poisoning can be fatal, and develop in a very short time. There have been reports of death after fifteen minutes of intake.

The toxin type depends on the species of dinoflagellates and against it, at present, there is no known antidote.
This toxin is 100 times more potent than strychnine and is the most potent natural toxic than known so far. Diminishes their power in alkaline solutions and loses toxicity to various oxidants. Alcohol consumption increases absorption, not inactivated by cooking and activity increases with added acidic (lemon juice and vinegar).

The preferred basic treatment is to induce vomiting by administering warm salt water or by any other method. Rescue breathing is essential in acute cases. Never administrársele patient alcohol or coffee and should carry him to the doctor immediately.

It is important to note that intoxication only occurs from eating shellfish and not touch or make any kind of tampering with them, even when they contain high levels of toxin. Nor is dangerous accidentally drinking seawater.
This phenomenon does not affect fish, octopus, squid and prawns. But it does affect shellfish and sea snails, so do not eat these shellfish until they have passed at least 30 days after the disappearance of the red tide o

Experts suggest analyzing lipoproteins INC 'protective' to improve diagnosi

High density lipoproteins fats transported through the blood to the liver where they are removedThe high density lipoprotein may be protective in accordance with their size and the amount of lipids containing

MEXICO CITY (20/OCT/2012.) - Researchers at the National Institute of Cardiology "Ignacio Chavez" (INC), determined that the "protective" for cardiovascular risks of high density lipoprotein (HDL by its acronym in English) , is related to its structure and composition.

High density lipoproteins are composed of cholesterol, phospholipids, and triglycerides, and its main function is to transport fats through the blood to the liver, where they are processed and eliminated.

In the words of Dr. Oscar Perez Mendez, head of the project, high-density lipoprotein may be protective according to their size and the amount of lipids (fats) they contain.

The study was conducted in Mexican patients divided into three categories: no coronary calcium (equivalent to absence of a lesion in the coronary arteries), with limited reservoir of calcium and high calcium in coronary arteries to measure the amount of high density lipoprotein, and determine the structure.

The results found that patients with high coronary calcium, are those with increased risk of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular problems. This is because low levels of high density lipoproteins, as these are identified structure larger and less phospholipids and cholesterol.

In patients without coronary events levels of high density lipoproteins were normal and their size was smaller.

The specialist of the National Cardiology Institute said the study suggests studying the different components of high density lipoproteins to reach a better cardiovascular risk assessment.

INC Research also led HDL phospholipids used as markers to identify the presence of kidney damage, in this case the experts at this institution are in the process of evaluating these results. 

Started selling bulbs cost 40 cents but will make $ 1
In 1877 he invented the phonograph

While at school said it was not good for studies, he became a prolific inventor

MEXICO CITY (17/OCT/2012.) - In Valencia, Spain still exhibiting signs of outbreak that invented the American scientist Thomas Alva Edison, who died on October 18, 1931, and since Sept. 1 have prohibited production in the European Union.

In a text published on the web site "lift-emv.com" recalls that the inventor is first turned a light bulb on October 21, 1879 in his lab, that would change the history in the world for over a century .

In Valencia you can see traces of publicity that highlighted the benefits of this lighting system, but because it wastes 95 percent of the energy consumed in the European Union was not produced since 1 September.

Thomas Alva Edison was born on February 11, 1847 in the state of Ohio, son of Samuel Ogden Edison and Nancy Matthews, who emigrated from Amsterdam, Holland, to 1831 and settled in New Jersey.

His grandfather John fought during the War of Independence of the United States in favor of the British and finally took refuge in Nova Scotia. Then moved to Bangham, Canada, but a rebellion in 1837. Samuel joined the insurgents and fled to the United States.

According to information published in their lives portals "wikipedia.com" and "biografíasyvidas.com", in 1840 the Edison established a lumberyard in Milan, Ohio. Nancy had seven children, three of whom died at the seventh was called by an ancestor Thomas Alva Alva after the captain Bradle.

In 1855 Edison went to school, but his teacher called him a "sterile and unproductive." His mother managed to awaken their intelligence and the miracle happened when I gave the book "School of Natural Philosophy" by Richard Green Parker.

Thomas was fascinated by the book and wanted to perform all experiments. Aided by his mother, he installed a small laboratory be convinced inventor. At 12 he considered making money with his inventions.

In 1859 he began selling newspapers in the morning train running from Port Huron to Detroit, and vegetables, butter and blackberry. There he met the reading room of the Youth Association and read every book in the lower shelf.

He tried different experiments from scientific books. An empty wagon used as a laboratory and put a hand Tamper with a friend the "Detroit Free Press". The result was the "Grand Trunk Herald", pulling 400 copies weekly.

Then Edison served as telegrapher and in his free time researching. In Boston built an apparatus for recording votes and offered it to Congress, where it was deemed so perfect that was accepted.

The inventor swore to be innovative, practical and cost effective. Formed a partnership and went to work. He perfected the telegraph machine and invented an apparatus for transmitting the oscillations of securities.

In addition, he helped build the first typewriter and gave practical application to your phone through the adoption of the carbon microphone. His name became known, his inventions already reported benefits.

He bought equipment and hired workers, who were paid by the piece, giving positive results. At age 29, when he bought land in Menlo Park, New York, built a new workshop and home. He married in 1871 to Mary Stilwell.

Locally focused on a new device to record sound vibrations, an old idea but no one had been able to reproduce. In 1877 created the device and everyone heard a song he had sung one employee minutes before.

Thus was born the phonograph. But it was not all victories, many of its investigations ended in failure, but always kept trying. In 1879, the challenge to achieve and maintain a light bulb long time.

Edison found carbonized bamboo filament and displaying his pragmatism, set up a workshop for manufacturing the same bulbs, and began selling at 40 cents, although it will cost more than a dollar.

This increased demand and managed to produce large-scale, reduced costs to 37 cents: the business began to go smoothly. His fame spread throughout the world. After the death of his first wife visited Europe and was well received.

Returning to the United States created several companies, his inventions were patented and immediately exploited. His only concern was his health, for not making weight, was irregular in his meals, went to bed late and got up early, never made sport.

In the 1920 polls appointed him as the greatest man in the United States. Edison earned about $ 30 million a year, equivalent to the national wealth for a period of half a century.

In 1927 he was elected to the National Academy of Sciences and President Coolidge delivered the engraved gold medal by Congress. He was 84 when an attack of uremia struck his last energies on October 18, 1931.

This is not a photo of a brain bulging out of someone's head.

Doctors reported in the New England Journal of Medicine that they diagnosed a case of a rare condition called cutis verticus gyrata, which causes the folds in the scalp to form - specifically, "ridges and furrows resembling the brain's surface," write Dr. Karen Regina Rosso Schons and Andre Avelino Costa Beber of Hospital Universitario de Santa Maria in Brazil.

These scalp changes started showing up two years before doctors saw the 21-year-old patient. He didn't display symptoms of neurological or psychiatric conditions, but he did have intellectual or learning impairment.

Doctors did not attempt an intervention because "the patient had no associated disorders and the condition did not bother him cosmetically."

After a year, the patient's presentation of his condition was the same, according to the report.
