Experts from the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, studied the impact of physical activity on people’s mental health. In an experiment that lasted 12 weeks, scientists monitored the condition of 286 patients (mostly 39-year-old women) with anxiety syndrome. About half of the study participants had been living with anxiety for more than 10 years by that time. By drawing lots, the participants were divided into two groups who played sports under the guidance of a physiotherapist three times a week for 60 minutes. The first group was engaged in a moderate regime, and the second – with heavier cardio and strength training. During all 12 weeks, the participants told the scientists about their condition and the severity of anxiety symptoms, including: nervousness, rapid breathing, palpitations and trembling. The results of the experiment showed that in both groups the symptoms of anxiety decreased markedly. Moreover, this also applied to those patients whose

“In 16 subjects, there is an increase in the number of hospitalized in serious condition, which indicates that citizens go to the doctor late,” Murashko said during a meeting of the operational headquarters for the fight against coronavirus. In addition, he noted that 77 percent of patients with COVID-19 receive outpatient treatment, while the rest receive inpatient treatment. More than 4,000 people, according to him, are on artificial lung ventilation and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation apparatus. Earlier, Murashko said that the ideal cure for COVID-19, which could be used at various stages of the disease, has not yet been created.

“Today, despite the fact that the world has been familiar with Omicron for almost two months, there are 103 omicron detections in our country with tight monitoring. These are people who have arrived or people who have been in close contact with them,” she said on the Rossiya-24 TV channel. According to Popova, all foci are localized. She added that the first screening of the test system is already being conducted to identify omicron directly. “We are testing all those who came from risk zones, from high-risk zones we are sending for observation today, and selectively from all those countries where [the virus] has been detected. The number of countries is increasing every day, but we conduct random testing from almost all flights from where Omicron can be brought to us,” the head of Rospotrebnadzor said. The omicron strain will be distributed in In Russia, this is inevitable due to the

This extreme game is really Russian in origin. According to one version, it originated in the XIX century in places of detention: guards forced prisoners to shoot themselves in turn and made bets on who would get the only cartridge. According to another version, the game was invented by Russian officers in order to test themselves for bravery and show prowess to others. For the first time the term “Russian roulette” is found in the American magazine Collier’s Weekly in 1937. Russian Russian George Surdez describes this extreme fun from the words of a French sergeant who served in the Russian army in Foreign Legion: “Have you ever heard of Russian Roulette? When I said I hadn’t heard, he told me all about her. Russian Russian officers believed when he served in the Russian army in Romania, around 1917, when everything was falling apart, that they were losing not only prestige,

1903: the largest fire in the history of the American theater On December 30, 1903, a fire broke out at the Iroquois Theater in Chicago, Illinois. As a result of the disaster, more than 602 people died. This theater fire became the deadliest in the history of the United States: hundreds of people were crushed, trampled or strangled due to the unthinkable panic in the crush at the closed shut-off lattice gates. There were also several fake decorative “doors” in the theater that looked like exits. 200 people died in one such passage. The theater was built by Fuller Construction and, after numerous problems and delays in construction, opened on November 23, 1903. Among the shortcomings of fire safety, the excessive presence of wooden trim and insufficient capacity of fire exits were noted, as well as their small number, there were no fire alarms, telephones and fire hydrants. 1916: the
