🍼 #Chorioamnionitis: A Rare Yet Crucial Link to Preterm Birth (PTB) While bacterial causes are common, Actinomyces spp. is a rare yet significant pathogen linked to a higher risk of preterm delivery. This underscores the importance of: 🔍 Thorough microbiologic and histopathologic examination of the placenta in PTB cases. 💊 Ensuring targeted antibiotic management for both mother and baby. https://brnw.ch/21wPy8C #PretermBirth #MaternalHealth

💡 Functional Ultrasound Imaging (fUSi) is shaping the future of brain research with high spatiotemporal resolution. The exciting potential of fUSi lies in its ability to simultaneously capture both cortical and subcortical structures, and when combined with techniques like #electrophysiology and optical imaging, it opens up new avenues for studying neurovascular interactions across various brain states. Dr. Antoine Bergel and colleague's review discusses the milestones achieved in functional ultrasound over the past decade, highlights the challenges we face, and proposes future directions for studies involving freely behaving and head-fixed animals. With the right advancements, fUSi could trigger a paradigm shift in systems #neuroscience. https://brnw.ch/21wPxyT McGill University #BrainResearch #Neuroimaging

🩺 Access vs. Quality: Rethinking Healthcare Risks A recent narrative review by Mr. Augustine Kumah sheds light on a critical issue: the growing global burden of preventable deaths due to "poor quality care"—now surpassing mortality due to "lack of access". 📊 From 2015 to 2024: - Mortality from poor quality care rose from 5M to 6M - Access-related deaths steadily declined We must focus on strengthening healthcare systems, prioritizing "quality care" alongside equitable access. https://brnw.ch/21wPvWh #HealthcareQuality #GlobalHealth

https://brnw.ch/21wPvII 🧠 Targeting #Alzheimer’s Disease: A Spotlight on #AdipoRon Dr. Masaru Tanaka et al's review synthesizes findings from six studies on AdipoRon-based therapy, highlighting its potential to: ✅ Reduce neuroinflammation ✅ Improve mitochondrial function ✅ Mitigate tau hyperphosphorylation ✅ Address synaptic deficiencies and cognitive decline By leveraging in vitro and in vivo models, this research underscores AdipoRon's neuroprotective effects and its mechanisms of action. However, gaps remain—calling for further studies and clinical trials to fully realize its therapeutic potential.

Advancements in surgical staplers are enhancing #bariatric procedures, and the Beluga® endoscopic stapler is a prime example of this innovation. Study by Dr ATHAR KHAN MS,MRCS,FMAS,CPHQ,CPPS et al evaluating its performance across various bariatric procedures shows promising results. ✔️ Key Findings: - No conversions, deaths, or leaks. - Minimal change in haemoglobin. - Only minor complications (4 patients). Further studies are needed to explore long-term outcomes, but the results so far suggest it could be a valuable tool for improving patient safety and surgical efficiency in bariatric surgery. https://brnw.ch/21wPu5o

🌐 #Cyberspace: The New Battlefield of Modern Conflicts In today’s armed conflicts, "cyberspace" is more than a tool—it's a dynamic domain that reshapes traditional warfare. 🔹 Technologies like #AI and the Internet of Things (IoT) enhance capabilities in hybrid and informational warfare. 🔹 Disaster resilience mitigates cascading cyber disruptions. 📢 A call by Prof. Dr. Vladimir M. Cvetković et al for policymakers and practitioners: Align strategies with emerging tech to secure our future. https://brnw.ch/21wPsHi #CyberSecurity #ModernWarfare

🚧 Transforming Construction Cost Estimation with #DataScience Most companies still rely on manual data gathering and processing—leading to inconsistencies, misclassifications, and inefficiencies. By combining data mining & expert knowledge, Dr. Lamine Mahdjoubi and the team developed a method with 97.5% accuracy for standardizing project cost data. 🏗️ This new approach promises to streamline cost estimation, enhance project efficiency, and enable real-time comparisons for better decision-making. https://brnw.ch/21wPsxO #ConstructionTech #DataMining #CostEstimation

Research by Dr. Amparo Oliver Germes et al highlights that #frailty, influenced by well-being, depression, and social connectedness, plays a significant role in myocardial infarction risk. 💔 Key Findings: - Frailty explains 15.5% of cardiovascular risk factor variability. - Psychological and social factors predict 27% of heart attack occurrences. This underscores the need for a holistic approach to cardiovascular health, addressing both physical and mental factors. https://brnw.ch/21wPsmO University of Valencia
