Could Sex have adverse side effects on your memory Livescience tells the story of a woman who, an hour after having sex, began experiencing an episode of temporary global amnesia. Stephanie Pappas stanley cup writes that people in their 50s and 60s can suffer bouts of amnesia after intense physical activity. In this case, first reported by The Journal of Emergency Medicine, the woman was 54-years-old, and by the time she had left the emergency room, her symptoms had cleared. So what triggered the amnesia specifically It could have to do with a lack of valves in the jugular vein, which allow deoxygenated blood to flow back up into the brain. The best guess for what might be happening is that patients unwittingly trigger the transient global amnesia by raising the pressure inside their stanley thermobecher abdomens. This is called the Valsalva maneuver, familiar as the bearing down people might do when lifting weights, defecating or even having sex. The increased pressure increases the resistance to blood flowing down the jugular veins, and insufficient valves may allow deoxygenated blood to push ba stanley cup ck up the neck. Oxygen-poor blood then piles up in the veins draining the brain, especially in central brain regions that are key to memory formation. The result could be transient amnesia. If there was ever a tasteful reason to be opposed to the idea of old people having sex, this would be it.

So why s stanley cup hould you care that the Internet weighs next to nothing Well, strictly speaking, you shouldn ;t 鈥?because as NPR Robert Krulwich points out, the true weight of the Internet is measured not by electrons, but by ideas: You can weigh the Internet t stanley bottles ill you are blue in the face, but the grams won ;t tell you anything important. The Internet connects people. What it is doesn ;t matter. What it carries, that matters. Ideas aren ;t like chairs or tables. They have their own physics. They make their own weight. So the Internet weighs about as much as a strawberry It can still stop tanks.
