How watching horrors movies can actually relax you

How watching horrors movies can actually relax youHow watching horrors movies can actually relax youTo calm ur nerves after a long day, some of us turn on a television show to make us laugh. But as performer Lady Gaga recently pointed out, for some of us, the most calming activity we can do is watch a horror movie designed to frighten us. In a video with Vogue, she shared that she watches horror movies to relax.This sounds counterintuitive to me, a lifelong scaredy cat. When I recently watched the 1978 film Halloween, even the scenes where Jamie Lee Curtis is not actively hiding from a deranged man had my heart racing. I finished the movie feeling unsettled and wanting to check the rooms in my apartment for strangers. But for people like Lady Gaga, unterstellung films can be soothing. Heres the psychology behind whyHow horror on screens can relax usWhen you are dealing with anxiety, it helps to remember that there are worlds outside of your own anxious brain, even if these worlds are fictional.Psychologists say horror films can provide a perspective into another world where anxiety happens under known formats. For some anxious people, escaping into a compelling story is a way to better manage real-life anxiety. Whether they use the content as a distraction or as a way to gain ideas about mastery, these viewers purposefully seek out anxiety-provoking content, Dr. Janet Scarborough Civitelli, who holds a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology, said. Horror films filled with terrifying monsters can provide a structured environment for viewers to confront personal fears.For horror fans, it can also be a way to release pent-up feelings in a controlled environment.In one Reddit thread on the subject, a horror film fan shared that it can be a way to put their own problems in perspective. There is something relaxing about forgetting your own daily fears and being fully emerged in other peoples fears and horrors, the redditor wrote. Seeing someone stalked by a psycho killer mak es your daily fears seem doable. It also is exhausting for your body to be so heightened and on edge for a long time so it wouldnt surprise me that you would be exhausted afterwords.Mathias Clasen, a researcher who has studied the biological effects of horror films, told Broadly that we can find pleasure in knowing that a movies anxiety is controllable. Exposure to horror films can be gratifying when the negative emotions caused by the film are manageable, Clasen explained. Moreover, theres psychological distance when we watch a horror film. We know its not real- or at least, some parts of our brain know it isnt real.Your day may have been awful, but hey, at least, you are not running for your life from a bloodthirsty monster. Once you see someone living out a worst-case scenario, it can help you better understand how you can survive through your own.

6 Ways Engineers Heal a Broken Heart

6 Ways Engineers Heal a Broken Heart 6 Ways Engineers Heal a Broken Heart 6 Ways Engineers Heal a Broken HeartTo an engineer, the heart is an electromechanical pump that can keep going for 80 or more years without needing a single repair.I cant think of any human-made device, be it a valve, a pump or anything, that can do that without breaking down, said Ajit Yoganathan, associate chair for translational research and director-founder of the Cardiovascular Fluid Mechanics Lab at the Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering partnership of Georgia Tech and Emory University.Yoganathans work focuses on understanding complex cardiovascular problems using fundamental engineering and science. As he says on his labs website The main objective of my lab is to provide answers to life-saving clinical questions using engineering approaches. Register today for ASMEs Offshore Wind SummitEngineers at his lab, recognized as pioneering in studying the function and mechanics of heart val ves and other complex cardiac defects, and others at Coulter are playing a key role by applying engineering methods to detect and fix heart issues.These six promising breakthroughs are undergoing pre-clinical, clinical trials or other human test phases. Top Story Air Taxi Drones Ace Test FlightThis collagen patch is stitched to the heart to shore up weak tissue.1. Mending a Broken Heart (Literally)During a heart attack, blood flow is blocked to part of the heart, damaging the tissue. The scarred tissue then lacks mechanical integrity and could inflate and rupture. During the attack blood vessels that feed the hearts outer tissue with a regenerative protein called FSTL1 are destroyed.Some patients dont respond well to current treatments so a kollektiv began seeking aleidher way to encourage healing. They learned that no new cells were needed if they could replace the depleted FSTL1 protein, which encourages regeneration. Led by Vahid Serpooshan, an assistant professor at Coulter, the team developed a collagen patch that is stitched to the heart covering an area a little larger than the dead tissue. It not only structurally shores up the weak tissue but also has an FSTL1 component that is released over time. In order for the technique to further boost production of cells and stimulate healing, the patch needed to emulate the force dynamics of embryonic heart tissue.Related Innovations in Biomaterials Create New Roles for EngineersThe biological pacemaker is minimally invasive.2. Biological Pacemaker Eliminates Invasive SurgerySome 350,000 electronic pacemakers are implanted in the U.S. each year to treat arrhythmias, or irregular heartbeat. Although the battery-powered small generators work reasonably well, the procedures to implant and readjust them are invasive. The devices have wires that lead through a blood vessel to give the heart electric impulses. Occasionally, a part fails, which again requires surgery. In babies and children repeated surgeries also are necessary to make adjustments as they grow.Researchers have developed a biological pacemaker, a device nearly identical to the hearts natural pacemaker nodes, using a minimally invasive injection of messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) through a cardiac catheter. The mRNA, a family of molecules that conveys genetic information, converts ordinary heart muscle cells into pacemaker cells. One key member of the team, engineer Phil Santangelo, developed the RNA solution as part of his work building RNA solution treatments for disease. His contributions stem from developing and engineering new molecular imaging technology, in this instance, a single molecule-sensitive muster for imaging ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules.This is an important milestone indicating the usefulness and safeness of engineered RNA solutions.In the News Young Engineer Takes Great Strides with Prosthetic FootManu Platts (left) lab brings together engineering, cell biology and physiology to understand the impact and re sponse of cells.3. Biding Time with Stem Cell InjectionsBabies born without a left side of the heart must have surgery immediately and then two more in the next three years to re-route all their blood through the right side of their heart. The initial goal is to keep a child alive until a transplant heart is available, which is much scarcer for children than adults.The surgeries put even more stress on the only ventricle, so a solution was sought to be able to improve heart tissue until the transplant. A research team believed that stem cell therapy might be a solution since therapy for children with congenital heart defects has been advancing. But identifying which stem cells carrying microRNAs (the molecules that convey genetic information) work best in improving heart tissue was a challenge because there are thousands of them.Georgia Techs Manu Platt used data mining to computationally determine the stem cells with the best potential, narrowing the options down to a few dozen to make the selection easier. Platts lab brings together engineering, cell biology and physiology to understand the impact and response of cells related to their mechanical and biochemical environments for repair and regeneration in health and disease and then contributes that knowledge to the health care community.The researchers also found that strategically depriving the cells of oxygen resulted in the most robust response from heart tissue cells into which they were injected. The team is also developing a heart patch with stem cells to treat adults who had heart attacks that could make it available for children, too.Related The Engineering Behind Brain ResearchEngineers believe they may have found a better way to treat a-fib by inserting a gel via a catheter through a small incision.4. Less Toxic Treatment for A-FibPatients with atrial fibrillation (a-fib), the most common arrythmia, often chronic, are frequently treated with a drug in use since the 1980s. Although its the most eff ective therapy to date, the drug can be toxic to the liver, lungs, and thyroid.Researchers began to think if they could target the effective drug specifically to the heart that it may not be so harmful to other organs. Their idea was to apply a hydrogel containing the drug onto the outside of the affected area. One of the biggest challenges the team faced was embedding the drug in a gel because hydrogels are made mostly of water, and the drug is hydrophobic. To resolve that, the drug was clustered in large chunks and a mesh made tight enough to hold them. The drug slowly breaks up and enters the tissue. The gel then bio-decays.The engineered gel is inserted via a catheter through a small incision in a procedure requiring only a local anesthetic. Once inserted, the catheter curls into a circle. The nano-hydrogel is squirted inside the circle where it sets and forms a patch. After the patch solidifies, the catheter straightens out and is removed from the patient. Researchers believe t his localized approach could open the door as a treatment strategy for other cardiovascular diseases.Big Webinar How to Design a Wind Turbine in 25 Minutes5. Early Warning Signal for Congestive Heart PatientsFor sufferers of congestive heart failure, whose hearts just dont pump enough blood, fluid backs up in the lungs, extremities, and other parts of the body. The exact amount of medication is critical in helping the patient.Currently, frequent hospitalization is required for patient observation, which is costly, inconvenient, and disruptive. A team led by Omer Inan, associate professor at Georgia Tech, developed a wearable device that monitors vibrations from the heart and helps doctors advise patients on dosing. Its like measuring a tiny earthquake in your chest, Inan said.The device works in conjunction with a smartphone app that collects data while the patient does a six-minute walking task. The combined data can indicate whether the patients condition has declined, and a docto r can adjust medication over the phone, eliminating the need for hospitalization and observation.6. More Affordable, Non-invasive Detection of Coronary Artery DiseaseThe best diagnostic tool for early detection of coronary artery disease is a coronary angiogram, but its costly and invasive. CT scans are many times less costly and non-invasive and can even serve to pre-screen whether an angiogram is necessary at all. But there is a drawback Since the heart is almost always in motion, it may take several attempts to get a good CT image, which exposes the patient to three times as much radiation as an angiogram. Even using electrocardiograms is not enough to pinpoint the exact time to capture the image.Researchers used another tool, an accelerometer placed on the patients chest during the CT, to detect the split second when the heart is motionless between beats. The device measures the vibrations of valves opening and closing and the resulting seismographic data makes the timing much m ore precise. This allows the technologist to snap the image at just the right moment. The key is coordinating the ECG and the vibrational pattern from the accelerometer, a software solution, to hit the right split second to trigger the CT scanner.Nancy S.

4 Ways to Get a Promotion

4 Ways to Get a Promotion Everyone wants to get ahead at work, but many factors have to align for a promotion to come about. Timing, performance, and office politics all play a role. You may workin an organization withlimited room to grow. Your boss may not be going anywhere for a while.If youre departureing to feel concerned about your professional future, dont start searching for new employment opportunities just yet. Here are a few steps you can take at work to start moving your career forward1. Talk to Your Manager About GrowthA promotion is only going to come from your boss, and sometimes, the first step is to simply ask for one.Carve out some time on your managers calendar to talk about your professional development, what your goals are, and the kind of career path your manager sees for you within the organization. This will give you a better idea of the opportunities available within the company and maybe even a timeline for when you can expect to advance.2. Ask to Take on More WorkOne of the best ways to get a promotion is to start doing the work before you have the title. Are there tasks and responsibilities your boss would love to permanently walk away from if only they could find someone who would pick up the slack? Ask to take on additional responsibilities wherever you can. Once youre actually doing mora, your case for officially receiving a promotion will be stronger.3.Initiate Projects That Impact the Companys Productivity or RevenueShow your boss you can put ideas into motion. Track your projects to prove they have increased productivity, boosted revenue, or yielded other positive results. Doing these things will put in you a strong position from which to start negotiating a promotion. If you have more innovative ideas youre hoping to set in motion when you get the promotion, your case will be even better.4. Dont Limit Yourself to Only Accepting Promotions That Come With RaisesSure, its nice to get a salary bump, but company budgets arent always aligned with your career growth plans. You may find youll have an easier time getting the professional satisfaction youre looking for in a promotion if you let your boss know youre willing to renegotiate compensation at a later date.A version of this article originally appeared on theAtrium Staffing blog.Michele Mavi isAtrium Staffings resident career expert.
