Friday Popocatepetl’s has 35 eruptions with a crater glow

Cenapred reports that the giant had 35 eruptions in the last 24 hours, accompanied by steam, water and gas and minor amounts of ash

Recorded on Popocatepetl‘s crater glow

PUEBLA, June 1. – The Popocatepetl had 35 eruptions accompanied by steam and gas and minor amounts of ash, during the last 24 hours, according to the National Center for Disaster Prevention (Cenapred).

Also, the federal agency said the vents registered at 03:17, 05:10 and 6:50 hours, as containing large amounts of ash, reached on average a mile high and headed southwest.

Between 11:00 and 21:44 yesterday, recorded 9 hours of high-frequency spasmodic tremor and from 08:00 hours on Friday, started a new episode of high-frequency spasmodic tremors and also had segments continuous tremors for 2 hours totaling approximately one hundred.

At night, he added, it was observed a slight glow above the crater of the volcano and at the time of this report (11:00 hours), the gas plume was diffuse, between 100 and 300 meters above the crater rim and goes west and southwest, toward Tetela Volcano.

Therefore, it was reiterated that the volcanic alert level remains at Yellow Phase 3, which implies the probability of observing the following scenarios:

“Explosive activity of intermediate-scale with high dome growth and possible expulsion of lava, explosions of increasing intensity and raining ash on nearby villages noticeable in smaller quantities and more remote populations, depending on the direction of the winds.”

Most beautiful solar eclipse of the year!

In Mexico, the solar eclipse as seen in Chihuahua, Baja California, Guadalajara, Mexico City and Monterrey

What a beautiful solar eclipse

Direction of Civil Protection called on the community not directly observe the solar eclipse that will be presented in Ciudad Juarez, said the Director General of Ecology and Civil Protection, Raul de Leon Apraez. .

It was necessary to use special eye protection, because to do so could have severe eye damage, even losing it.

He said that not just any sunglasses protect the eyes, so consider it necessary to ask the experts what type of material is indicated.

Another way to observe the eclipse is to make a hole in a card so that the light is projected on the floor.

The eclipse occurs when the Moon’s shadow does not cover completely the Sun and the star is seen as a luminous ring.

Was also observed in Baja California Norte, Baja California Sur, Chihuahua, Guadalajara, Mexico City and Monterrey.

IN ASIA AND THE UNITED STATES ALSO BE APPRECIATED

Millions of people in Asia and the western United States on Monday witnessed an annular eclipse of the sun, marveling at the strange spectacle of a “ring of fire” across the heavens.

The annular eclipse, in which the moon passes the sun, but leaving only a golden ring around its edges, was also witness to a singular event as virtually had a return in time, because it was seen first Monday morning in Asia and then in the last afternoon of Sunday in the western U.S..

In some parts of the United States were sold cameras with special filters to take pictures of the astronomical phenomenon. In several parts, as in Reno (Nevada) and Oakland (California), meetings were organized to witness the eclipse.

 

The ring of fire our beautiful world!

There were also people from neighboring states and Canada who traveled to Albuquerque, New Mexico, to enjoy the eclipse in one of the best places to watch. Older people threw shouts and the children screamed with excitement when the moon crossed the sun and started to form the halo of light.

In Japan, organized tours to better see the eclipse, either to pleasure boats and private aircraft. Similar events were held in China and Taiwan.

The eclipse was broadcast live on television in Tokyo, where there was not a solar eclipse since 1839. The Taipei Astronomical Museum opened before dawn on Monday and Hong Kong Space Museum set up telescopes with solar filters outside their building on the waterfront of Kowloon.

Japanese television sent teams to observe the phenomenon from the top of Mount Fuji. They also sent a team to a zoo south of Tokyo to capture the reaction of chimpanzees, but they do not seem to notice.

A light rain fell in Tokyo at the beginning of the eclipse, but the clouds thinned as the eclipse reached its maximum, which gives almost perfect condition.

“It was a very mysterious,” said Kaori Sasaki, who joined a crowd in downtown Tokyo to see the phenomenon. “I’ve never seen anything like this.”

MEXICO CITY a new medical technique in heart surgery in just three hours

Patients who cannot have open-heart surgery have another option with the aortic valve implantation for the first time in Mexico

The aortic valve obstruction in the heart of Anne was resolved in just three hours without practice an aggressive surgical intervention.

The new valve mounted on a mesh-like spring of a pen was placed using the technique known as catheterization through a small incision in the groin which was introduced into the heart.

This cure is for calcific aortic stenosis for those who suffered and are put at a high risk of developing heart failure because the disease hampers blood flow to the heart.

The device and where you put the valve has added a “ball” that reaches out to destroy the damaged valve and implant the new one is fixed in the myocardium.

The innovative technique of trans-catheter aortic valve implantation was performed for the first time in Mexico, in the XXI Century National Medical Center of the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS) on 8 May. Ana, 69, today it is home.

The novelty is that thanks to the material called nitinol, which has the peculiarity that when subjected to cold contracts, it is now possible to introduce this mesh with the valve to the catheter and take it to heart.

“Heart surgery from 50 to 60 begins to develop and begin to have ideas increasingly invade the body, the problem is that there were materials that could enter through tiny catheters, as is the case the prosthesis or device that travels with the valve, which measures less than nine millimeters, “said Dr. Victor Manuel Lozano, head of the Division of Surgical and diagnostic procedures at the Hospital of Cardiology XXI Century.

This procedure is an alternative for patients who are not candidates for open heart surgery because of age or suffering from diseases such as diabetes, hypertension or kidney problems.

“This valve is indicated for patients who once were inoperable, terminally ill patients who were given only medical treatment was so high because the possibility of dying in surgery we decided not to operate,” he said.

With this technique no more than a decade and there is no need to transfuse patients, or with special catheters multiinvadirlos, which commonly occurs in a conventional operation. Recovery time can be three days, whereas before it was up to three months.

According to Dr. Moises Calderon Abbo, director of the Hospital of Cardiology XXI Century, the world will have about six thousand valves of this type, two thousand 500 in Latin America and two in our country, both on 8 May.

“Anne came to the doctor before being in heart failure, the procedure is relatively low risk, is a small incision in the groin with an awake patient, the valve is placed and if all is well at two, three days you can go home and you leave with a heart healed, because the valve was uncovered, and automatically starts to improve oxygenation and reduces the blood pressure, “explained Calderon, who explained that in addition to do it via the femoral implant can be placed through the axillary artery or the tip of the heart.

In the XXI Century National Medical Center are treated each year about 400 patients for aortic stenosis. Of these, between 10 and 15% are inoperable patients who would be candidates for intervenirlos with this technique.

Popocatepetls’ eruption activity quite high in the last 24 hours

Reported a further increase in the intensity of tremors, accompanied by a column of gas and ash, which reached 4 miles high

PUEBLA, In the last 24 hours, the activity of Popocatepetl “was quite high,” the National Center for Disaster Prevention (Cenapred), reported that at 19:00 pm yesterday it registered an increase in seismic activity of the tremor, which was accompanied by a persistent column of gas and ash, which reached 4 km above the crater and was dispersed by prevailing winds to the northeast.

In the report of this afternoon, also highlighted the eruption of incandescent lava fragments, which spewed down the slopes of the volcano, reaching external distances up to a mile, “this activity lasted until 21:56,” he said.

At 1:12 am this morning, the volcano showed “another important eruption, again with incandescent lava fragments” and with a plume of two miles high, consisting of gases and ash, according to official data.

In this sense, the Cenapred announced  that at 4:16 AM another episode of tremors began, with eruptions and expulsion of lava fragments, which ended at 7:02 this morning.

In total, the federal agency noted that in the last 24 hours there were a total of 63 eruptions of small and medium size, not including trains mentioned.

Therefore, the alert level remains at Yellow volcanic Phase 3.

Today there will be minor ash fallout around the volcano. These models, both scatter and fall, can be accessed directly at the following address prognosis http://132.248.8.24/ ~ / visual /

The volcanic alert level Phase 3 is yellow, which means the chance of observing the following scenarios: medium-scale explosive activity at high, dome growth and possible expulsion of lava, explosions of increasing intensity and rains ash on nearby towns notorious and in smaller amounts in more remote populations, depending on wind direction.
