LA ESTUPIDEZ HUMANA COMO DECISIÓN CORPORATIVA EN GOOGLE

definitivamente se prohibe la edición en Google... todo se ha vuelto lamentable e indudablemente parte de la discrecionalidad de la corporación para con los contenidos que intentan evitar se conozcan por este medio... Google demostró su intención en 2019 al hacer desaparecer Google+ y hace lo propio en octubre de 2020 con los Blog´s... seguramente siguiendo un criterio de censura y de destrucción de la propiedad intelectual así como del derecho creativo inherente al ser humano... esta conducta refleja la iniciativa nazi-sionista que envuelve a todo el planeta Tierra y que ha transformado al mundo en un campo de concentración semejante al ghetto de Varsovia... lo que sigue no será bueno... y lo que venga, tampoco... cuando un puñado de idiotas se apropia del futuro de la humanidad, el único resultado posible es la tragedia, cursó con el holocausto y está siendo transitado por estas horas. Triste. el editor. Octubre 19, 2020.-

Update on the NIH Science of Behavior Change Common Fund Program

The NIH Science of Behavior Change program was established with two major long-term goals: 1) to promote a systematic approach to discovering the mechanisms underlying successful behavior change, and 2) to provide blueprints for developing behavior interventions that could reliably improve health outcomes. We are excited to be co-funding another five years of the SOBC Resource and Coordinating Center. (NIH co-funders are NIA, NCATS, NCCIH, NICHD, NIDA, NIDCR, and OBSSR.)

In celebration of the program’s 10 years of Common Fund support, we are pleased to announce the SOBC Common Fund Program’s Capstone Conference, to be held remotely Feb. 22-23, 2021. The conference will feature SOBC science advances and accomplishments, highlight innovative examples of mechanisms-focused behavior change science, and bring together experts from around the world to discuss future opportunities for strengthening the field. Visit the meeting website for more information about the agenda. Registration and other details will be available on this website in the coming months, and registration is free and open to the public

Study Provides New Insights Into Changes in Brain Function in Fibromyalgia

Pain at the time of testing, rather than the presence of a chronic pain condition, is primarily responsible for changes in the functioning of the brain’s default mode network in patients with fibromyalgia, according to the results of a study recently published in the journal NeuroImage. The study, conducted at the National Institutes of Health and McGill University, was partly funded by the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health’s intramural research program.

Comparing the Neural Effects of Placebo Pain Relief in Fibromyalgia Patients and Healthy Individuals

Although fibromyalgia is associated with changes in brain function and neural pathways, researchers saw no differences in responses to placebo pain relief between fibromyalgia patients and healthy volunteers in a new study. This research, funded by the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH), was recently published in the journal Pain.

Study Explores Relationship Between Pain and Cognitive Impairment

A recent study exploring the association between pain and cognitive impairment (CI) found that pain and CI each increase the severity of the other; that is, when pain progresses from acute pain to high impact chronic pain (HICP), the severity of CI increases, and as the severity of CI increases, the severity of pain increases. Further, the study found that people with comorbid chronic pain and CI are in a much higher state of self-reported disability than people with either alone. The study, published in a recent issue of The Clinical Journal of Pain, was supported by the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH), a component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

PIEZO2 Ion Channel Critical Mediator of Urinary Tract Function

New research in has uncovered the mechanisms by which bladder stretch is sensed and the urethral reflexes involved in urination are controlled. The findings pinpoint the gene PIEZO2 as a key mechanosensor for interoception, which is the sensory regulation and awareness of what’s happening inside our bodies. The research, conducted jointly by the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, and the Scripps Research Institute was published in a recent issue of the journal Nature.
