Today, while looking through some university programs on media studies, I came across a very eye and brain catching news in News of the University of Calgary. So what was that..? Seems that Canadian team developed Neurochip technology. I am too far from medicine studies but the importance of this achievement is easier to analyze for me than to think over the process how it was developed so that it helps futurea understanding of how brain cells work under normal conditions and permit drug discoveries for a variety of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.

As scientists evaluate, new technology monitoring of brain cell activity at a resolution never achieved before.

According to University of Calgary, Syed, professor and head of the Department of Cell Biology and Anatomy, member of the Hotchkiss Brain Institute and advisor to the Vice President Research on Biomedical Engineering Initiative of the U of C says: “This technical breakthrough means we can track subtle changes in brain activity at the level of ion channels and synaptic potentials, which are also the most suitable target sites for drug development in neurodegenerative diseases and neuropsychological disorders.”

According to Gerald Zamponi’s, professor and head of the Department of Physiology and Pharmacology, and member of the Hotchkiss Brain Institute, words I could understand more precisely the meaning of all the achievement, “This technology can likely be scaled up such that it will become a novel tool for medium throughput drug screening, in addition to its usefulness for basic biomedical research”.

In the world of so many changes, our health condition also changes and needs different kinds of approaches to be cured. And if placing of human brain on microchip can do so much for diseased people, so why not?! The most important question AFTER great achievement is How much affordable it will be?

I am not sure I am able to discuss deeper about scientists’ works and achievements but I will try to inform BLOGVASION readers about the further developments in this direction. Before that I wish everybody to have the first wealth in the world- Health!

As for those who will be more interested in the new technology from the lab of Naweed Syed, in collaboration with the NRC, can find information in the journal, Biomedical Devices.

Have you ever asked yourself and then Google search, how many websites are there in the world? I did this morning. And the number is really huge. According to Netcraft Web Server Survey, as of April 2010 there are around 205,368,103 websites available on World Wide Web. Seems there is a slight fall as, statistically, the same source says that in December 2009, there were 233,848,493, and even though three of the five major web servers lost hostnames compared to last month, anyway, the number of websites is quite considerable to have some concerns about how to reach your audience effectively and cheaply.

On the basis of some data analysis, and the experience I have on the topic of website promotion, I summarized some of the steps for result-oriented website promotion:

1. The most important is to create the best content that is the key guarantee of attracting the audience. If the reader is caught from the very first visit and then is provided with updated information timely, then the first step is accomplished successfully that leads to easy work of the following steps;

2. Recommend your site at such social bookmarking sites as Digg or networking sites such as Facebook;

3. Work on search engines, as mentioned above, as the best content guarantees responses from the search engines. That is great step forward;

4. Send press releases. It is very effective way to promote your website as there are many free press release submission sites if you do not plan to spend some money yet;

5. An article submission is also a Great tool;

6. Try to post a link to your site for free though do not forget to pay attention to the terms of copyright;

7. Use social community sites such as MySpace or Facebook. There you can find people with the same interests;

9. It will be very productive if you contribute to other websites, different forums and blogs;

10. Comment on other blogs.

I am sure that is not all that may serve the websites as promotion tool but it will be great if you add some and enrich Blogvasion team’s and readers’ knowledge about it.

If you have a dog and do not know where to go to feel comfortable together with your friend, you can use the iPhone app, among many applications, it offers the largest database of dog friendly places and allows to search for more than 10,000 dog friendly places: dog friendly hotels, bed and breakfast and self catering venues, dog friendly camping and caravan sites, dog friendly beaches, dog friendly days out, dog friendly pubs, and also includes valuable resources such as "locate a vet."
