A prototype of a wearable gadget has been created that can save a patient from an opioid overdose An international group of scientists has created a device that can save a patient from an opioid overdose. The principle of operation of the gadget is described in the journal Scientific Reports. Experts from Canada and the United States have created a wearable gadget that analyzes the concentration of opioids in the blood in real time and prevents overdose. If the lethal dose is exceeded, the device will inject naloxone into the blood. This antidote is used for overdose of opioids, primarily heroin. Scientists have compared the work of the gadget with an insulin pump, which is worn on the stomach and is used in the treatment of continuous subcutaneous insulin administration. The prototype device, which has the potential to save the lives of patients, is equipped with an accelerometer to measure

Scientists at the University of Queensland have linked octopuses' behavior to unique brain properties To do this, the researchers analyzed tomographic images of the central nervous system of four species of cephalopods, which made it possible to compare the unique structures of the brain and associate them with behavior. The results of the scientific work are presented in an article published in the journal Current Biology. Biologists have found that the brains of octopuses differ depending on where the species lives, how it interacts with other animals and at what time of day it is active. They analyzed the central nervous system of a deep-sea octopus, as well as a nocturnal mollusk and two reef dwellers awake during the day. It turned out that mental abilities significantly affect the anatomy of the brain. The octopus, found in deep waters, had a smooth brain, like the brain of marsupials and rodents,
