The Dhaka Times Desk We all know that daily activities are quite difficult for paralyzed and blind people. For those people, Elon Musk's company Neuralink began the difficult task of making wireless computer chips. The company started this work from 2016. Finally, they implanted such a chip in the human brain for the first time.
The chip was successfully implanted in the brain of a man in the United States on January 28. However, the company has not disclosed the name and identity of the person due to confidentiality. Musk confirmed this information on social media X on January 29.
In X Post, Musk said, 'Initially, the results are quite good. The patient's neurons are spiking or the nerve is responding. The patient is recovering'.
Elaborating on this issue, he further said that it can basically be called teletherapy. The reason is that by placing this wireless chip in the brain, the concerned person can control his phone or computer. In this case he does not have to use his hands or feet. Just think about it'.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration last September gave Neuraling permission to implant multiple copies of the chip in human brains. Chips were implanted in monkeys' brains before humans were successfully implanted. But this approach is nothing new. Previously, in 2004, another American neurotechnology company, Blackrock Neurotech, implanted a chip in the human brain. Apart from Neuroling, several other companies are also known to be engaged in making such chips. Source: Reuters.

How to prevent dengue
Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral fever. This fever is different from other viral or bacterial fevers. However, this fever is not contagious in any way. This viral fever can occur alone or in combination with other viruses (chikungunya, yellow fever, Burma forest, flu, respiratory syncytial) and bacteria (pneumococcus).
Dengue fever is divided into two categories depending on the severity of symptoms and fever.
1. Common dengue fever
2. Dengue fever with bleeding.
In the case of common dengue fever, the following symptoms are mainly seen-
1. Sudden high fever lasting 2 to 7 days.
2. Severe headache.
3. Pain behind the eyes.
4. Along with the fever, red rash appears all over the body.
5. Severe pain in whole body as well as back pain.
6. Nausea or vomiting.
7. A rash or red bumps on the skin.
In case of dengue fever with bleeding:
1. Bleeding from nose, mouth or vomiting with high fever within 2 to 48 hours.
2. Fluid accumulation in chest or abdomen along with fever.
If any of these symptoms appear, seek medical attention immediately.
On the other hand
Wait at home for the first 3 days of fever. On the other hand, sponge the whole body with water every now and then. This will reduce the level of fever. Drink enough water and rest. After that, if the fever does not decrease or if it continues to increase after some time, consult a doctor immediately.
Things to do to prevent Dengue:
1. Try to keep the surroundings of the house as clean as possible.
2. If there are flower tubs or broken plastic bottles, can shells, tires or polythene inside the house, clean them quickly and drain the accumulated water from the flower tubs.
3. Spray or fog at least 3 times a week to kill mosquitoes.
4. You can keep mosquito repellent cream with you while going out.
5. After evening, younger and older members of the household should use mosquito nets.
6. Clean up any accumulated rain water, as this is the time when Aedes mosquitoes lay their eggs.
7. On the other hand, you can use mats along with mosquito nets to avoid mosquito infestation.
8. Since Aedes mosquitoes bite during the day, it is important to avoid sleeping with mosquito nets while sleeping during the day. Source: https://dmpnews.org
