Did you know that your bones can benefit from electrical stimulation? Scientists have discovered a cool way to help bones regrow using a material called piezoelectric hydrogel. This hydrogel contains tiny particles called BaTiO3 nanoparticles, which create electric signals. When these signals intera
These days, with the explosion of data and the growth of the internet of things, we need devices that can sense and process information in many ways at once. Taking a cue from how our human senses work, scientists have created a clever system called an optoelectronic-memristor-based reservoir comput

It's got radar and sensors that can spot enemies from far away. The Poseidon can even drop special buoys
Accurately tracking the costs of medical processes is crucial for enhancing value and efficiency. Let's talk about a method called Time-Driven Activity-Based Costing (TDABC) and how it can be applied to otolaryngology. This study aimed to explore TDABC in ear, nose, and throat care and identify pote
In August 2021, Austin Hospital's emergency department (ED) saw 7, 641 patients, but surprisingly, 452 of them left before getting care. That's about 6% of all patients. These people are called "DNW" patients, short for "did not wait. " Let's dive into why they left and who they were. First, who we
Epilepsy is a tough nut to crack. Doctors often use meds or deep brain stimulation to tackle seizures, but these methods have their limits. Some people don't respond well to meds, and seizures can be unpredictable. Recently, scientists have come up with new ways to tackle these challenges, like resp
