are made here in Cuba".

The Inter-American Court of Human Rights on ruled that a decree

to legalize and regulate in vitro fertilization, signed by President

Luis Guillermo Solís last October, complies with a 2013 ruling from

that court. Justices of the San José-based court issued a report on

the measures implemented by Costa Rica to comply with the 2013

ruling, which overturned an IVF ban adopted in 2000 by the

country’s Constitutional Chamber of the Supreme Court, or Sala

IV. It should be understood that IVF is authorized in Costa Rica and

it must immediately be allowed by both private and public health

services. It says the executive decree demonstrated clear and

concrete evidence of the Costa Rican government’s willingness to

abide by the ruling. The ruling is a clear and specific order for all

Costa Rican government agencies to fully comply with the Inter-

American Court of Human Rights’ orders.

The implementation of IVF in our country both at public and private

hospitals from this moment on is a priority for this administration.

Officials at the Costa Rica-based Central American Association for

Aeronautics and Space (ACAE) on Friday announced they will launch

a campaign to raise $75,000 needed to orbit the first Costa Rica

satellite, a small device called picosatellite.

The 10-centimeter (4-inch) picosatellite is a key element of ACAE’s

Irazú Project and is expected to be deployed into space from the

International Space Station during the second half of 2018. The project

takes its name from Costa Rica’s highest volcano, located in Cartago

province.

Project director Marco Gómez said the research consists of real-time

measurements of temperature, humidity and carbon dioxide fixation.

Data will be collected in a forest in Los Chiles, a mountainous area

near Costa Rica’s border with Nicaragua, and will be used to evaluate

climate change effects on forests.

Data will be used by researchers from various TEC faculties in projects

ranging from climate effects to numerical weather prediction.

Information collected also will be shared on a website as open data so

it can be used by investigators and students all over the world.

operation the first unit, the second in May, the third in

June and the last in July, bringing the total operation of

the plant will be reached in the first half "The process will

be completed when all four units and additional -in its

central ecologically compensation are operating at the

same time. This task will be made following the schedule

established. Blowdown will be the largest and most

turbines of the hydroelectric plant Reventazón

was already connected to the national electricity

system, so that next week will be activated and

inject the first 73 megawatts to the system,

something that will benefit 125 thousand families.

resources to no longer think rehabilitate roads but on

building new infrastructure to help prevent interaction

between vehicles and train, as they have reported lot

of accidents. So the call is urged deputies to support

the project and allow the country to have a modern

train and up to first-world countries and also avoid

difficulties citizens and the country.

Costa Rica decrees emergency to prevent spread of Zika, other

mosquito-borne viruses

Sleep deprivation makes people eat more and worse

New Times Health 9

The spread of mosquito-borne diseases throughout

Costa Rica led the authorities to declare a state of

emergency Thursday 31 cantons located in the

seven provinces.

The executive decree after the recent confirmation of

the first three cases of local transmission of Zika

virus, as well as an increase in cases of dengue and

chikungunya.

Health Minister Fernando Llorca in a press release

said the order was a preventive measure to

"safeguard life, health and safety of the population."

The declaration will remain in effect while the

Executive considers appropriate.

Llorca called on people to help remove all objects

from their homes that can serve as breeding grounds

for mosquitoes.

Dengue and chikungunya cases during the first five

weeks of this year rose more than 600 percent

compared with the same period last year.

In modern society, a growing number of men and women

who sleep less than seven hours a day. Whatever would

imagine is that, besides depleted dawn, wake up, literally,

Hungry.

found that sleep deprivation makes people grow by 33% a

compound known as 2-AG. which stimulates the brain, it is

a mechanism that increases the desire to eat so little

people who sleep make this compound to flow more. In

tests, participants who slept little for four days up to 300

extra calories consumed, while others maintained their

weight or lost weight. Studies show that with just a little

sleep that night, and disorders of insulin are produced and

increases the sugar in the body. In these people, what

happens is that the normal biology is altered, because they

eat at times when the body is not prepared to digest these

foods as revealed by the investigation.


"Despite the study's limitations, such as the

small number of volunteers -14 people- or

the few days that lasted the evidence, the

findings are clearly significant and

consistent," the authors said.

The Health Ministry launched a fumigation

campaign this week with assistance from the

National Police and other public agencies.

They’re also urging the population to eliminate

objects that can collect stagnant water.
