๐ง๐ท APPLE VISON PRO ADOPTED BY BRAZILIAN SURGEON
For the first time in Brazil, a surgeon successfully used an Apple Vision Pro headset to optimize a surgical procedure.
Surgeon, Bruno Gobbato:
"Shoulder arthroscopy surgery uses a camera inside the joint and surgeons perform it by looking directly at a screen. With this device, I was able to see the image on the size of a movie screen with high resolution, as well as being able to see the patient's exams and 3D models in real-time."
Experts expect the device to be used routinely in Brazilian healthcare soon.

Clinical Explanation for the curious minds:
1. Tobacco contains carcinogenic chemicals like nicotine and tar that can lead to various cancers such as lung, mouth, throat, esophageal, and bladder cancer.
The more and longer someone smokes, the higher their risk.
2. Marijuana contains THC which can impair short-term memory, attention, and learning.
Frequent heavy use starting in adolescence may impair brain development and cognition.
However, occasional use in adults is less clearly linked to significant long-term cognitive effects.
3. Psychosis involves losing touch with reality through hallucinations, delusions, or disorganized thinking.
High concentrations of THC in some marijuana strains may trigger psychotic episodes in susceptible individuals, but more research is needed on causation.
4. Tramadol is an opioid painkiller that can cause confusion, anxiety, and hallucinations in some people, especially at high doses.
However, delusions are less common side effects.
5. "Skunk" refers to potent strains of marijuana with high THC levels.
Smoking any type of marijuana can damage lung tissue and create respiratory issues like coughing, wheezing, and increased infection risk.
Skunk may pose higher risks.
6. Rohypnol ("roofies") can cause anterograde amnesia or trouble forming new memories, often at high doses.
It is also associated with "blackouts" where someone cannot remember events. It does not destroy previous memories.
7. Ecstasy (MDMA) can rarely trigger seizures, especially at high doses, though the mechanism is not fully understood.
Risk is higher if combined with other stimulants.
8. High doses of codeine and other opioids depress respiratory function and can lead to coma or even death.
This risk is exacerbated when taken with other sedatives like alcohol.
9. Cocaine constricts blood vessels in the brain, which can cause strokes, seizures, headaches, and other damage with chronic use.
10. Nitrous oxide inactivates vitamin B12 which can lead to nerve damage over time.
This risk can be reduced by supplementing B12.
11. PCP can cause a toxic psychosis with delusions, hallucinations, and agitation which resembles schizophrenia.
These psychotic effects are temporary and resolve after the drug wears off.
In summary, all substances carry risks, some more than others.
Dose and frequency of use also play a role.
However, people may value short-term enjoyment over long-term health consequences.
Ultimately it is up to each individual to weigh pros and cons in moderation.
