HEART PACEMAKER
October 8, 1958 - Karolinska Institute of Stockholm
Dr Ã…ke Senning implanted the first internal heart pacemaker. Earlier the same year, Rune Elmqvist (born in 1906) invented this pacemaker, designed to be implanted in a subcutaneous pouch in a patient suffering a cardiac disease. It used only two transistors and was the size of a hockey puck. The apparatus sent pulses to the cardiac muscle to establish normal and regular contractions. Dr. Senning (born in 1915) carried out the first pacemaker installation at the Karolinska Institute of Stockholm. Although this prototype worked for only three hours, the Swedish man, Arne Larsson, who received this pacemaker, 40 years and 26 pacemakers later was still enjoying a full, normal life at age 83.

about Eyesight Myth and Fact
Myth: Staring at a computer screen all day is harmful to the eyes.
Fact: Spending the day staring at a screen can tire or strain your eyes, but it will not hurt them. Make sure lighting doesn't create a glare on your screen. When spending long periods at your keyboard, take a break now and then to rest your eyes to reduce fatigue. Also, don't forget to blink. Your eyes need to stay lubricated to feel comfortable.
