Vaccinations have the merit of saving millions of life. The idea of the vaccinations lies in the concept of raising the immunity of the person by getting a very small and harmful amount of the virus or the microbe. The first scientist to reach a vaccine was the English physician Edward Jenner (1749-1823) and the first vaccine was smallpox vaccine. The other most important vaccinations are Polio vaccine that was discovered by the American virologist Jonas Salk’s (1914-1995), Measles vaccine which was discovered by the American microbiologist Maurice Hilleman (1919-2005) and the Tetanus vaccine was discovered by the French veterinarian and microbiologist Edmond Nocard (1850-1903).

Adding fluoride to the water and toothpaste saved thousands of people from dying due to teeth abscess, as it would cause horrible pains that will lead to the starvation of the patient. United States of America was the first country to add fluoride to water.

Pasteurization is another life saver, pasteurization is the a method to keep foods and drinks healthy by heating it then cooling it immediately. Pasteurization kills a number of the micro-organisms that causes diseases.

Pacemakers that was first invented in the year 1950 by a Canadian engineer John Alexander Hopps (1919-1998) is one of the life savers. The pacemaker nowadays has become totally different from the first one, it became much smaller and more effective in regulating the heart beats.

Lifestraw is a water filter invention for the people who have problems in getting a supply of clean drinking water.

There are other types of anemia that accompany some chronic diseases, there are also other sorts of anemia as Hemolytic anemia, Idiopathic aplastic anemia, Megaloblastic anemia, Pernicious anemia, Sickle cell anemia and Thalassemia.

There are some common reasons that can cause anemia as injuries caused by accidents, hemorrhoids, gastritis (ulcers), surgeries, the wrongly repeated blood donation, childbirth and menstruation in case of women that have very heavy periods.

There are several symptoms that would accompany anemia as headache, fatigue, feeling discomfort and loosing concentration, sometimes people suffering from anemia have problems in breathing.

In case of Sickle cell anemia there are other symptoms as yellowing of the eyes and skin, delayed growth and puberty and pains in the joints.

But the doctors gets sure of the presence of anemia by ordering some blood tests as:
Blood levels of iron
Blod levels of vitamin B12
Blood levels of folic acid
Blood levels of other vitamins and minerals
Red blood count
Hemoglobin level
Reticulocyte count
And in the case of Sickle cell anemia there are other tests that should be done as bilirubin, blood oxygen saturation, CBC, hemoglobin electrophoresis, Sickle cell test, serum creatinine and potassium

Treating anemia differ by the difference of the type of anemia, as the lack of iron, b12 or the foilc acid can be treated by nutritional supplements. In severe cases a blood transfussion can help in the treatment. In other cases of anemia other solutions are available as Corticosteroids or Erythropoietin. In case of Thalassemia the most possible treatment is a bone marrow transplant.

About Parachute And The Parachute Jump

Posted on by Leave a comment

About Parachute And The Parachute JumpThe idea of parachuting is to slow the fall of the human by creating a drag. The parachute is usually made from nylon because it has the advantage of being light and strong.

The first idea of the parachute was in a drawings made by an anonymous Italian in the year 1470. Leonardo Da Vinci made a design of a parachute in the year 1485 in the shape of upside pyramid with a square frame from wood. Fausto Veranzio the Croatian inventor changed Leonardo Da Vinci design in the year 1595, by changing the squared part to a sail like part.

A great progress appeared in the year 1783, by the France inventor Louis-Sébastien Lenormand, Lenormand tried the parachute by himself. Lenormand’s parachute was close to the modern parachute and two years later he gave his design the name parachute. Jean-Pierre Blanchard changed the fibers that are used in the parachute from Linen to silk in the year 1790. André Garnerin invented a parachute with ventilation  which increased the stability of the parachute, he was also the first to make a parachute without a wooden frame.

Paul Letteman and Kathchen Paulus were the first to reach a way to fold the parachutes and pack it in a bag.

In the year 1907 Charles Broadwick reached to the idea of pulling the parachute out from the bag using a static line. Grant Morton made a successful jump from a plane in the year 1911, while Franz Reichelt failed to make a jump from the Eiffel tower in the year 1912. The Slovakian inventor Stefan Banic invented in the year 1914 an actively used parachute.

Parachute is the common equipment in several sports now as parachuting, skydiving, suit-jumping and base-jumping.
Andre-Jacques Garnerin was the first to start skydiving in the year 1797.
In the year 1919, Leslie Irvin was the first to make a free-fall.
In the year 1960, parachute jumping (parachuting) was treated as a sport.
In the year 2012, Gary Connery the British stuntman started the first suitjumping or wing suit.
The previous parachute uses are from planes or hot balloon in the the case of Andre-Jacques Garnerin while the base-jumping is using a the wing suit and jumping from a high base.
