The mentally ill man has been involved in a similar incident.

Last week, Greensboro authorities arrested a mentally ill man who, allegedly, entered into a senior living community to sexually harass a resident. The deranged individual has been under scrutiny after pulling a similar ‘stunt’ at the establishment.

Mentally Ill Man Allegedly Asked Resident About Seeing Genitals

On Saturday, the authorities arrested Martell Brothern, a mentally ill man, after an Aldersgate Apartments resident accused him of indecent exposure.

Nancy Vaughn, the victim, told the authorities that on Saturday morning, the suspect knocked on her door, asking for a glass of water. Before she went to fetch the requested item from the kitchen, Martell allegedly told her that he’s waiting for his grandmother.

When Nancy returned with the glass of water, the mentally ill man asked her how long has it been since she saw a man’s penis. Before the retirement home resident could react, Martell dropped his pants, exposing his genitals.

The woman told the authorities that she asked Martell to leave and never to return. After the mentally ill man left her apartment, Mrs. Vaught called the authorities to report the disturbing incident.

Upon his arrest, the authorities discovered that the incident reported by Mrs. Vaughn wasn’t singular. According to police records, the mentally ill man has been accused of groping a senior woman’s chest. Furthermore, the two incidents happened in the same location.

Conclusion

Martell Brother was taken into custody and charged with sexual battery, breaking and entering, and indecent exposure.

Although a court-appointed psychiatrist ruled him mentally unfit to stand before the court in April, the man’s still expected to answer for his charges.

Moreover, Guildford County Sheriff’s Office is still trying to determine why Martell exposed himself in front of the two women. The mentally ill man will face the judge on the 17th of August.

Ohio Patrolman Booted from Police After Pulling Over His Daughter and Boyfriend

June 26, 2018 By Waleed Javed

patrol cruiser

The Ohio patrolman says he’ll be going to challenge the contract termination.

Last week, John Kovach Jr., an Ohio patrolman, has been fired after a police-conducted investigation uncovered that the man used his position to pull over her daughter and arrest her boyfriend. The woman confronted her father about using his badge and uniform to intimidate her.

Ohio Patrolman Told Daughter’s Boyfriend That He’s Going to Come Up with a Charge

According to the summary of the internal investigation, on the 18th of April 2018, the Ohio patrolman ordered the driver of a silver car to pull over. Interestingly enough, Kovach failed to announce the dispatch about the traffic stop.

Inside the car were 18-year-old Katlyn Kovach, the patrolman’s daughter, her boyfriend, later identified as 18-year-old Makai Coleman, and one of Kovach’s friends. All this time, the dashcam on Kovach’s patrol cruiser was running.

The internal investigation revealed that the Ohio patrolman had no clue that his daughter would be inside the vehicle.

After Coleman stopped the vehicle, Kovach allegedly ordered him out of the car. He also told his daughter’s boyfriend that he’s going to prison.

When the man asked Kovach why he was pulled over, the patrolman told him to get in his police cruiser. Once inside, the law enforcement officer allegedly told Kovach that he would make up a charge.

Apparently, the entire scene had been witnessed by Kaitlyn’s mother who called 911 as soon as she saw her husband pull over Coleman’s car.

Conclusion

The internal investigation also revealed that Kaitlyn and the Ohio patrolman had an off-cam argument.

Kaitlyn told his father that he should not use his badge and uniform to intimidate her and Coleman just because he does not approve of their relationship.

Before taking her boyfriend into custody, Kaitlyn demanded to hear a legal reason for detaining Coleman.

Stephen Hawking’s family released the scientist’s final legacy as a message to space.

This Friday, humanity is going to pay its last respects to Stephen Hawking. During a ceremony at Westminster Abbey, the family of the renowned physicist will release a special message to space containing Hawking’s voice. This message will be sent to a black hole together with pieces of music composed by Vangelis.

 

A Message to Space from Stephen Hawking

 

On June 15th, everyone who wants to bring a final homage to Stephen Hawking can attend a special ceremony in London, at Westminster Abbey. During this religious service, the family of the physicist will deliver a really special message to space. This is a recording of Hawking’s voice that will be sent to a black hole accompanied by music.

This black hole lies in a binary star system called 1A 0620-00, with an orange dwarf at its center. The system lies quite far away from Earth, namely 3,300 light-years away from the constellation of Monoceros.

 

This Is the Last Ceremony in Memory of Stephen Hawking

 

The Hawking family know how loved the physicist was. Therefore, they thought this was a great opportunity to leave one last legacy from him and send his message to space. Since they first made this event public, they have received around 25,000 questions about it. This means they expect quite a big number of people to attend it.

Three months after his death, Hawking’s ashes will finally be laid in the ground. Given his great scientific achievements, he will be given a special tombstone in a place of honor between two other reputable scientists, Charles Darwin and Sir Isaac Newton.

The scientist’s family will send the message to space directly, but people at the ceremony will still find out what it is about as everyone will receive a copy of the message. This talks about love, peace, unity, and the need to live in harmony.

French Hospital Employs Virtual Reality to Curb Patient’s Pain

June 13, 2018 By Waleed Javed

Virtual reality

Future pain management solutions could rely on virtual reality systems.

Virtual reality has insinuated in almost every conceivable domain – from the gaming industry to architecture, and not medicine. As part of an experimental painkiller-free therapy, a team of French medical researchers has used VR headset to ease the discomfort of patient’s undergoing surgery.

Virtual Reality Could Replace Standard Painkillers

A team of St. Joseph’s Hospital has put together a fully immersive virtual reality system to help patient’s cope with pain.

Dr. Olivier Ganasia, St. Joseph’s Hospital’s head of ER, declared that the novel approach to pain management is already showing impressive results.

The head of ER explained that the virtual reality therapy is very similar to hypnosis, in the sense that patients are distracted using visual and auditory stimuli. In a series of experiments, the St. Joseph’s Hospital grad team asked patients with a dislocated should shoulder to wear a VR headset during surgery.

The images projected by the VR system vary in accordance with the patient’s preferences – they could choose to see a snowy mountain peak or a Japanese Zen garden. Of course, the 3D images were accompanied by a soothing soundtrack.

Dr. Ganasia declared that the patients who agreed to wear a virtual reality headset deal better with surgery and post-surgery pain compared to those hooked on painkillers. He said that the study’s results are encouraging enough to be tested in other medical fields.

Of course, using virtual reality in medicine is not entirely known. For example, surgeons use VR headset to plan an operation based on the patient’s MRI scans.

Conclusion

Although the grad team’s approach offers painkiller-free pain relief, some neuroscientists argue that VR might not be a good idea in the long run. They’ve explained that the use of VR to curb pain could actually rewire our brain’s response to it.

MIT Think-Thanks Designed the World’s First Wireless Medical Implant

June 5, 2018 By Waleed Javed

A team of MIT researchers designed and manufactured a milestone deep-body implant, capable of running without a battery. The novel device, considered to the world’s first fully operating wireless medical implant, can potentially help Alzheimer’s and dementia patients who require deep-brain stimulation.

Wireless Medical Implant is No Bigger than a Grain of Rice

In a bid to reduce the size of medical implants, a team of researchers from Massachusetts Institute of Technology recently declared that they’ve successfully tested a deep-body implant that operates on radio waves.

Medical implants are commonly used for a plethora of purposes – from monitoring physiological parameters to regulating the brain’s electrical activity. Although most of these implants are arguably small in size, they do require a battery to function.

In fact, according to a member of the MIT team who devised the wireless medical implant, in pacemakers, the devices commonly used to regulate the heart’s electrical activity, most of its surface is taken by the battery.

However, the new wireless implant requires no battery to operate, meaning that future medical implants will take miniaturization to the next level.

The MIT team declared that the wireless implants use radio waves to communicate with a computer. These waves are powerful enough to penetrate the skin and tissue but not enough to cause any harm to the patient.

The preliminary tests reveal that the wireless medical implant can operate at full capacity even buried in 10 centimeters of tissue.

Conclusion

According to the MIT team, these devices could greatly enhance the quality of medical care in patients with Parkinson’s or epilepsy. More than that, these implants could be used for a wide variety of treatments such as deep-brain stimulation, light therapy, and even drug delivery.

For the moment, the device is roughly the size of a grain rich, but the team is working on making the device smaller.
