Dependence on sex "kills" the psyche

Men who constantly think and talk about sex, women not only annoying but also representatives of a strong half. But no whining from these people - Canadian researchers recently found that the dependence on sex present, most mental illness, which can be successfully cured.
According to the sexologists, the number of adult inhabitants of the planet addicted to sex, unseen ever increasing pace. Psychologists say that the sex-bias in its pool no different from the drug addicts and alcoholics, which leads to depression and uncontrolled behavior.
Various sources agree that 3-5% of the population can recognize sexoholic, with 75% of them - men. Among these people very little paedophiles - most painfully addicted to sex have a standard heterosexual, rarely - homosexual sexual conduct.
American Patrick Karns, which deals with sex the years 1980, identified four stages of the disease:
1. Sexual obsession that requires constant stimulation;
2. The creation of special erotic rituals in front of a contact to enhance sexual feelings from sex;
3. Mental dependency on such rituals and the absolute loss of control;
4. In the end - the inevitable despair and depression

It is believed that the dependence on sex linked to a specific structure of the brain, but no scientific data on this confirmed yet been received. The experts are inclined to what can be attributed to heavy sex childhood. In families sick parents never talked about sex and do not encourage the open expression of emotion, coupled with the lack of expressions of tenderness to each other.
Modern technology, particularly the Internet, only contribute to the development of painful addiction to sex.
It's no secret, if a person has once visited the dating site, then very often he would visit him and even more. The first step to recovery from dependence is the recognition of man that he is sick, and then agree on a course of treatment. Sometimes the doctor prescribe specific medications to reduce sexual attraction, but, according to doctors, these drugs are not always effective in the case of Internet-sexual thinking.

Ebola virus is now safe for researchers

According to the LookInfo.org.ua, American researchers managed to defuse a dangerous killer Ebola virus through the removal of a single gene. This discovery now enables the study of the virus in normal laboratory conditions, rather than the increased security requirements. Scientists from the University of Wisconsin (University of Wisconsin) in Madison, under the leadership of Yoshihiro Kawaoka (Yoshihiro Kawaoka) removed the Ebola virus VP30 gene, which controls the formulation of the protein necessary for the replication of the virus. In so doing was halted reproduction of the virus in normal cells.

The next phase of research was modified monkey kidney cells, which scientists are forced to produce protein necessary for reproduction of the virus. Now the specialists have an opportunity to study the virus to replicate perfectly safe. This virus is now reproduces only caged monkeys, which contain the protein necessary for him, but he does not play in a normal cell.

Ebola virus has the ability to easily spread from person to person and in about 80% of cases are fatal.

So far, studies of the virus may proceed only in a high level of security, which provide specially equipped laboratory. Specialists had to be at work using special protective suits in a room while maintaining a reduced atmospheric pressure in order to prevent the possible "leakage" virus. If further study confirms the safety of the virus, this will result in an opportunity to work on the Ebola virus will receive the usual laboratory and much more expertise. This, in turn, will facilitate more rapid development of new vaccines and treatments for Ebola.
