When it comes to hip arthroscopy, how surgeons manage the hip capsule during surgery can make a big difference in preventing post-surgery instability. Two techniques are often used: interportal and periportal capsulotomies. The periportal approach is thought to be less invasive and may help reduce t
Imagine squeezing more brains into computers! Scientists are working on making computers smarter by mimicking how our brains work. These new computers, called neuromorphic systems, need lots of tiny parts called synapses and neurons to handle huge amounts of messy data. But fitting all those parts i
Sexual violence faced by LGBTQ+ adults has become a hot topic in research. But how do we make sense of all the studies out there? This review looked at over 10, 000 papers and picked the best ones to figure out what makes LGBTQ+ adults more likely to experience sexual violence. The second part of th
Eighteen family nurse practitioner students dove into a unique project. The goal? To boost their skills in working with older adults, particularly those with dementia. The curriculum was packed with various components to help these future nurses become more empathetic and knowledgeable. Before and
Imagine this: a sunny day at the Astun ski resort in Spain’s Pyrenees mountains. Suddenly, around noon, disaster strikes. A ski lift, standing tall at 15 meters, collapses. How did this happen? One of its pulleys gave way, causing part of the structure to crumble. As the lift fell, the chairs tipped
Picture this: you're in a hospital in Australia, receiving medical and social care. But what about your spiritual needs? A recent study dug into this question. Researchers checked patient files and chatted with staff in mental health units. They discovered that while healthcare workers know spiritua
Parkinson's disease can be a real puzzle. This brain condition makes everyday movements like walking or buttoning a shirt a challenge. But it's not just about the body—it can also lead to anxiety, depression, and sleep troubles. Yoga breathing exercises, or pranayama, have been suggested as a potent
Researchers wanted to understand how the brain's network changes affect seizure relapse when people stop taking their seizure medication. They looked at 24 people who stayed seizure-free (SF-group), 22 who had seizures again (SR-group), and 46 healthy individuals (Control group). They used brain sca
Researchers have been using special maps called saliency maps to understand why certain AI models make specific decisions about glaucoma. They trained these AI models, called convolutional neural networks, to diagnose glaucoma using pictures of the eye's fundus, which is the inner lining of the eye.
Imagine California's wildfire season happening in January. That's what's going on right now in Los Angeles County and nearby areas. The biggest blaze is in Pacific Palisades, destroying houses and racing across the landscape. These fires are being tracked by scientists using maps and charts, but hig
