TYPES OF FACEBOOK DISEASES AND DISORDERS
Please comment if you find out any other FB Disorders !!!
1.LIKOSIS.
symptoms- the patients likes every status and
pics that they come across with.
2.LIKOPHOBIA
symptoms- the patients dont like any
interesting pics or status they come across
with coz they think that the likes will get
firnished.
3.SHYFBMIASIS
symptoms- the patients log on to f.b after a
very long time then they log off and then log
in later after more than two weeks. its like
they shy away from f.b.
4.TAG SYNDROME
symptoms- the patients want to be tagged in
each and every photo they come across with.
5.SAD SYNDROME
symptoms- the patients tend to update sad
posts. e.g i hate love, i hate my life and so on.
6.REQUEST SYNDROME
symptoms- the patients tend to randomly
send friend request to many people without
any consideration.
7.COMMENTOLARIA
symptoms- the patients seem to be
commenting in each and every post that they
come across with.
8.RUBISHTOSIS
symptoms- the patients tend to be
commenting rubish or negative things on
other peoples posts.
9.POST REMOVIASIS
symptoms- the patients tend to be removing
their posts that received very little or no likes
and comments.
10.ADICTOMIOLOGY
symptoms- the patients cannot stay for more
than 24hours without thinking of facebook.
CONTROL: The above disorders can be
controlled by doing the exact opposite of the
symptoms above

Medical Robot Keeps Kids Calm during vaccination: study
Researchers in Calgary, Alberta, have tested a new robot programmed to distract children during flu shots. The study, published in medical journalVaccine, found the "MEDi" robot reduced pain and distress in children getting the flu vaccine at Alberta Children's Hospital.
The robot, named MEDi™ (which stands for Medicine and Engineering Designing Intelligence), was purchased by the University of Calgary’s Shulich School of Engineering from Aldebaran Robotics — a French startup company headquartered in Paris — and can mimic many things a child can do.
Reducing children's pain and distress towards flu vaccinations: A novel and effective application of humanoid robotics
Objective
Millions of children in North America receive an annual flu vaccination, many of whom are at risk of experiencing severe distress. Millions of children also use technologically advanced devices such as computers and cell phones. Based on this familiarity, we introduced another sophisticated device – a humanoid robot – to interact with children during their vaccination. We hypothesized that these children would experience less pain and distress than children who did not have this interaction.
Method
This was a randomized controlled study in which 57 children (30 male; age, mean ± SD: 6.87 ± 1.34 years) were randomly assigned to a vaccination session with a nurse who used standard administration procedures, or with a robot who was programmed to use cognitive-behavioral strategies with them while a nurse administered the vaccination. Measures of pain and distress were completed by children, parents, nurses, and researchers.
Results
Multivariate analyses of variance indicated that interaction with a robot during flu vaccination resulted in significantly less pain and distress in children according to parent, child, nurse, and researcher ratings with effect sizes in the moderate to high range (Cohen's d = 0.49–0.90).
Conclusion
This is the first study to examine the effectiveness of child–robot interaction for reducing children's pain and distress during a medical procedure. All measures of reduction were significant. These findings suggest that further research on robotics at the bedside is warranted to determine how they can effectively help children manage painful medical procedures.

'iKnife' Tells Surgeon Whether Tissue Is Cancerous !!!!
An experimental surgical "knife" can accurately identify cancerous tissue as a surgeon cuts through it, creating the potential for shorter cancer surgeries that remove all traces of tumor, according to a study co-written by the device's developers.
The "iKnife" uses electricity to cauterize surgical incisions as they are made, and then samples the resulting smoke to determine whether the tissue being cut is healthy or cancerous.
The iKnife accurately identified cancerous and healthy tissue 97 percent of the time in recent human trials, according to the study published July 17 in the journal Science Translational Medicine
Intraoperative Tissue Identification Using Rapid Evaporative Ionization Mass Spectrometry
Rapid evaporative ionization mass spectrometry (REIMS) is an emerging technique that allows near–real-time characterization of human tissue in vivo by analysis of the aerosol (“smoke”) released during electrosurgical dissection. The coupling of REIMS technology with electrosurgery for tissue diagnostics is known as the intelligent knife (iKnife). This study aimed to validate the technique by applying it to the analysis of fresh human tissue samples ex vivo and to demonstrate the translation to real-time use in vivo in a surgical environment. A variety of tissue samples from 302 patients were analyzed in the laboratory, resulting in 1624 cancerous and 1309 noncancerous database entries. The technology was then transferred to the operating theater, where the device was coupled to existing electrosurgical equipment to collect data during a total of 81 resections. Mass spectrometric data were analyzed using multivariate statistical methods, including principal components analysis (PCA) and linear discriminant analysis (LDA), and a spectral identification algorithm using a similar approach was implemented. The REIMS approach differentiated accurately between distinct histological and histopathological tissue types, with malignant tissues yielding chemical characteristics specific to their histopathological subtypes. Tissue identification via intraoperative REIMS matched the postoperative histological diagnosis in 100% (all 81) of the cases studied. The mass spectra reflected lipidomic profiles that varied between distinct histological tumor types and also between primary and metastatic tumors. Thus, in addition to real-time diagnostic information, the spectra provided additional information on divergent tumor biochemistry that may have mechanistic importance in cancer.
