We all remember the technocrats and the so-called “experts” and other proponents of medical tyranny repeated “follow the science” over and over during COVID and beyond, all the while they were lying to our faces with prevaricating mantras such as, “safe & effective.” One notorious instigator, Anthony Fauci, of the democide actually said he was the “science.” Given he controlled billions of dollars of grants and also controlled those who would get them, he was in full control of the scientific research environment. While he had a job at the NIH, he seemed to be the top biowarfare man of the USA in charge of making sure there were plenty of contagious pathogens that could be used against humanity. Culling humanity was the ultimate agenda. What he should have said is “I am the Scientism.” It is not speculation that we have been subjected to a democide, and as of this writing no one has been held criminally accountable. Thus, they will try again…. after all… why not?

Personalized nutrition based on an athlete’s genetic profile has emerged as an effective strategy for optimizing performance in soccer. This review aims to analyze how nutrigenetic-guided personalized nutrition can enhance soccer performance. Nutrigenetics identifies genetic polymorphisms that influence key physiological processes, including carbohydrate metabolism, muscle recovery, strength generation, aerobic endurance, and thermoregulation. Key genes such as ACTN3, ACE, IL6, BDKRB2, and AMPD1 play critical roles in these processes, directly impacting athletic performance. Personalized nutritional strategies tailored to these genetic insights can optimize glycogen utilization, modulate inflammatory responses, enhance muscle strength and oxygenation, and support adequate hydration. The application of nutrigenetics in soccer not only enhances on-field performance but also reduces injury risk and accelerates recovery, representing a valuable tool for the nutritional management of high-performance athletes.

Electric vehicle (EV) technology has experienced remarkable development and progress globally over the past decade. Driven by the urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, dependence on fossil fuels, and to mitigate urban air pollution, governments and automakers have heavily invested in EV technology, leading to significant advancements.

Surgery has undergone tremendous transformation over the centuries from the time of the pioneer surgical team of the likes of Lord Lister and other eminent surgeons of the time and era. They pioneered the use of aseptic technique-using carbolic acid and surgical scrubbing in operating theatre, minimizing or eliminating microbial invertion and contamination of surgical wounds. The significant improvement in surgical practice has essentially been aided by sophisticated technological development in medicine and surgery over the years.

Long Covid arises in individuals previously infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), irrespective of whether they exhibited symptomatic or asymptomatic infection. This condition typically emerges around four weeks following recovery from the acute phase of the illness, persisting for weeks, months, and sometimes even years thereafter. Clinical diagnosis relies on a history of new, recurring, or ongoing health issues, often presenting with a perplexing array of symptoms and typically normal test results, leading to a delay in the diagnosis and management. The documented common symptoms of long-term COVID-19 are fatigue, insomnia, post-exertional malaise, cognitive dysfunction, and muscle aches [1].

We report the case of a patient with a 2-year history of IgA nephropathy who was prescribed an SGLT-2 inhibitor. Within a month of initiating therapy, the patient developed onychomycosis, which was confirmed by fungal culture. Treatment with antifungal agents resulted in significant improvement. This case underscores the potential for fungal infections to occur in areas beyond the genito-urinary region in patients taking SGLT-2 inhibitors. Although the link between SGLT-2 inhibitors and onychomycosis is not well documented, our findings suggest a need for further investigation into this association and the risk factors involved.

Nested in the majestic pines of Himachal Pradesh, lies the Parvati Valley. The very place whose beauty Shiva is said to have named after Parvati; an eye catching landscape in Himachal Pradesh, which attracts thousands of visitors each year.
During the floods of 2022; the mesmerising valley in Kasol, was ravaged by floods; the region experienced high level of inundation, causing damage to property, infrastructure, crops, and ecosystems, including erosion of soil, displacement of wildlife, and contamination of water sources, also leading to significant disruption and loss of life in affected communities.

Cyclic shear tests are a proven method for evaluating the load-bearing capacity and deformation behaviour of masonry walls under dynamic horizontal loads, such as those that occur during earthquakes. These tests reproduce the realistic behaviour of stiffening masonry walls in combination with floor slabs, as in real buildings the walls are subjected to both vertical and horizontal in-plane forces. The interaction with the reinforced concrete slabs leads to restraining effects which create counteracting bending moments and can be simulated using cyclic shear tests.
This paper describes cyclic shear tests on eight storey-high masonry walls made of highly thermally insulating clay units, which were carried out in the Laboratory for Structural Engineering at the University of Applied Sciences Regensburg (OTH), Germany. The failure mechanisms were documented by digital image correlation. The test results are then compared with the expected calculated resistance values of the current design approaches according to DIN EN 1996-1-1/NA. Based on the calculation and the failure patterns from digital image correlation, it was possible to show that the standard correctly depicts the failure of the shear wall in some cases. For the majority of the wall configurations analysed, however, the results are on the safe side and show additional load-bearing capacity reserves.

In order to achieve the goals of sustainable development [1], especially "Life Below the Water", we have developed an innovative study exploring how to raise public awareness of Ocean Plastic Pollution by using Virtual Reality (VR).And we developed a VR project for the CAVE2 ™Virtual Environment [2]. By utilizing the interactive experience with VR technology, our main goal is to show the public the huge damage of plastic pollution on whales and the ocean ecosystem. The reason why we designed this game was to allow players to experience the serious consequences of plastic pollution in person and to show some positive changes after successfully cleaning up the ocean. Our Virtual Reality experience emphasizes a practical solution by using "Aspergillus tubingensis" [3], a plastic-degrading fungus. After playing the game, players not only realize a deep understanding of the bad influence of plastic pollution in the ocean but also see the effectiveness of our solutions for reducing plastics. So that we can pay more attention to Sustainable Development Goals.

Digital escape games are getting attention for educational purposes, typically by letting students play a certain game to engage with a new topic and gain knowledge. But what about letting students design escape games instead of just playing them? By following a design-oriented learning approach, this paper explores the educational potential of students creating their own escape games as part of their coursework. We introduce the Escape This! Canvas, a visual inquiry tool that supports the process of designing educational escape games from creating a first idea and theme, over specifying a game structure, to reflecting and measuring the actual learning objectives. Our canvas aids in exploring, structuring, and communicating key design elements important for building new digital escape rooms. This paper contributes to understanding the components necessary for crafting educational escape games, offering a practical tool for iterative planning and project communication, and sheds light on the value of the design of escape rooms for educational purposes.

Orthognathic surgery during growth is a contentious yet critical area of craniofacial management, particularly for severe dentofacial deformities that impair function and esthetics. This review examines the considerations, challenges, and benefits of orthognathic surgery in growing patients, with a focus on optimizing outcomes while managing growth-related risks.
Mandibular and maxillary deformities often necessitate surgical intervention to improve facial harmony, occlusion, and psychosocial well-being. However, performing surgery during growth carries risks such as relapse, unpredictable outcomes, and interference with skeletal development. Delaying surgery, on the other hand, may exacerbate functional difficulties and psychological distress, particularly in cases of bullying or social stigma linked to facial appearance.
Advancements in growth modulation techniques, such as condylar repositioning and early surgical interventions, offer new possibilities for managing complex cases. Research indicates that procedures for mandibular retrognathism and vertical maxillary excess, when carefully timed, can balance growth dynamics and long-term stability.
Psychological and social factors also play a significant role in decision-making. Early intervention may improve self-esteem and social confidence, but it must be carefully weighed against the risk of additional procedures due to ongoing growth.
This review underscores the importance of individualized treatment planning, integrating growth assessments, surgical timing, and multidisciplinary care. By addressing functional and psychosocial needs, early orthognathic surgery can significantly enhance quality of life for growing patients when guided by evidence-based practices.

I begin this article with the description of the birth of the two most influential medical journal of the present – the Lancet and the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM). They are now indispensible for expanding our medical knowledge in various fields. Unhesitatingly, I should admit at the outset, this is an overview, NOT comprehensive review, of the milestones of developments in medicine. A number of important fields remain outside my discussion.

Nanotechnology (the mechanics of Quantum Theory) is science, engineering, and technology conducted at the nanoscale, which is about 1 to 100 nanometers (1 billionth of a meter) on the metric scale and involves imaging, measuring, modeling, and manipulating matter at this length scale (10 ^-9). Therefore, nanotechnology, nanoscience and nanobiology involve the ability to see and to control individual atoms and molecules “the internal movement of matter with a certain external cause” (Tudor 227) at the nanoscale. The focus of this discussion is on the “miracles” described in the Judeo/Christian Old Testament and the Christian New Testament. This paper postulates that God, Jesus, the heavenly angels, and their human emissaries (Moses, Aaron, Elijah, the disciples/apostles) harnessed and applied similar scientific techniques (albeit far advanced beyond what mankind has done today) to accomplish what are often referred to as “miracles” (secular “magic”). Therefore, what we in the religious communities have long referred to as “miracles” (as are recounted throughout Holy Scripture and non-canonical Scriptures) were actually the result of advanced technologies applied.
In the case of most of the Biblical “miracles,” the creation, restructuring and/or replication of physical matter were conducted at the atomic and molecular levels (10 ^-9). However, one in particular may have been conducted at the giga scale (10 ⁹) when “…the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.” (Joshua 10:13). Nonetheless, this discussion proposes that these extraordinary events, manifestations of Divine intervention, were all accomplished in either of two ways: (1) A force of energy - referred to in Scripture as the Holy Spirit -- was tapped, harnessed, calibrated and channeled directly by way of Divine Word - the voices/ commands of God and Jesus -- to the intended target and (2) A force of energy - the Holy Spirit - was tapped, harnessed, calibrated and channeled indirectly by way of conduits such as rods, by way of Divine and human hands and the human body to the intended target. As the reader will come to realize over the discussion of this Theory, the ways in which these supernatural events came about sometimes overlap. Moreover, not all of the Biblical “miracles” will be discussed here.

Mental health conditions can appear in subtle and severe forms. Few challenges are as significant for patient care as anosognosia, which is the lack of awareness of one’s illness. Individuals with anosognosia genuinely cannot recognize that they have a psychiatric or neurological condition. This is not a matter of stubbornness or denial; rather, it stems from underlying neurobiological changes that affect self-awareness. The repercussions can include refusal of medication, early termination of therapy, relapses, and profound consequences to overall well-being.

Organizational employee health is critical for the success of companies, effectiveness, and efficiency, in addition to maintenance costs. Corporations that commit adequately to wellness care initiatives record remarkable improvements in their financial and organizational bottom lines, reduced medical costs and truancy included. Evidence by Baicker, Cutler, and Song indicates how effective workplace wellness programs bear fruit in reducing healthcare expenditures by $3.27 for every dollar spent towards wellness initiatives and reducing by $2.73 those costs related to absenteeism per dollar invested. Employees with the proper nutritional habits are fully motivated, so they are more productive and active during their working time. As with prior outcomes, these point to integrating wellness activities within organizational management.

Psychoendocrinolgy is a field of study but almost nothing from this field is applied in a practical way that can actually help people. I hope to make a small dent herewith in my discussion of the hormone oxytocin (not to be confused with oxycontin).
I believe oxytocin is perhaps the most powerful neuropsychiatric intervention on the planet. Very few know about it outside its application in Maternal Medicine or how significant an influence it is in all our lives.

Excess moisture accumulation in residential bathrooms significantly impacts indoor air quality (IAQ) and occupant comfort, especially in tropical climates like Dhaka, where high humidity levels from activities such as showering and bathing are common. Inadequate ventilation exacerbates moisture buildup, leading to condensation, microbial growth, and structural damage. This research aims to assess moisture generation and accumulation in residential bathrooms, evaluate ventilation strategies, and propose architectural guidelines to address moisture-related issues. The study was conducted in two bathrooms in Dhaka's Wari area, characterized by hot, humid, and rainy conditions typical of tropical climates. Environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, surface temperature, and moisture accumulation were measured in both the bathroom and adjacent changing room. Ten male participants bathed under various ventilation conditions (High, Low, and Off modes), with standardized bathing styles (showering and tub bathing) and door opening durations. The results revealed that relative humidity in the bathroom reached 100% during bathing, regardless of ventilation settings. Moisture accumulation on surfaces was higher in one bathroom, attributed to floor material differences. Effective ventilation removed a higher proportion of moisture in the bathroom with better airflow, demonstrating the critical role of ventilation and material selection in moisture control. The study highlights the importance of optimizing ventilation systems and architectural design to manage moisture accumulation, improve IAQ, and reduce the risk of mold and mildew growth in tropical residential bathrooms.

Solar cells play a major role in building up energy storage solutions throughout the world. There are advancements happening in the development of more efficient panels, more efficient designs and materials for more efficient light absorption etc. Development of cost efficient PVs have provided a path for the installation of solar PV installations at various sectors throughout the world.

To make real-time driving decisions such as adjusting lanes, avoiding obstacles, and collision prevention, autonomous vehicles (AVs) depend on precise trajectory prediction. Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM)[1] and Bidirectional LSTM (BiLSTM)[2], two conventional deep learning models, are frequently employed for trajectory forecasting. Variable temporal dependencies and dynamic spatial relationships are often not easy for these models to capture. The introduction of spatial and temporal attention processes has improved the accuracy, resilience, and adaptability of trajectory prediction [1].

Dementia, a neuro-degenerative disorder affecting various cognitive functions, including speech and language, presents significant challenges in rehabilitation. This research paper introduces a comprehensive tele-neurorehabilitation system designed for speech therapy in dementia patients, leveraging cutting-edge technology. The system incorporates nine distinct activities, employing text comparison models. Users engage in interactive exercises, where their spoken words are transcribed to text, fostering language engagement and cognitive stimulation. This application explores the dynamic correlation between dementia and speech therapy, analyzing advancements, challenges, and therapeutic applications. The outcomes of our study aim to deepen comprehension of this intricate relationship, providing a foundation for more precise and impactful speech therapy interventions, ultimately contributing to improved rehabilitation for those affected by dementia.

Decentralized Finance (DeFi) has once again been in the news for the wrong reasons. Is it time for unsophisticated investors to be proscribed from accessing?
Even before President Trump chinked his first alcohol-free glass in celebration, the DeFi industry was looking forward to a welcome reset after Gary Gensler’s capricious SEC. Many giants of the new economy attended his inauguration. A new era of optimism was palpable.
Nevertheless clouds of concern were not far away. The double launch of the President’s and First Lady’s memecoins, hit hard by two whales dumping at large on 25 February 2025, shows the continuing volatility of memecoins, where intrinsic value is difficult, if not impossible, to discover.

OxTube, a new water treatment innovation clarifies water matrices in tube condition with nature respect within seconds. It can be integrated in ships and other watercrafts. The seas suffer low oxygen, algae, toxins and micro plastics. A cargo ship can clarify sea water 288 000 m³ a day in depth of 4 to 5 meter when cruising without additional fuel consumption.
OxTube generates huge amount of air bubbles along with water clarification. Mixture of air bubbles and water is coherent and viscosity up to ten times lower than water. It can be led under the cruising ship in order to reduce flow resistance and fuel consumption. All kinds of combined processing is economically and environmentally beneficial. According to MIT Group combined energy and water system could provide for millions.

Not only is the global prevalence of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) expected to increase, but concomitantly the global prevalence of vision-threatening DR (VTDR), which includes diabetic macular edema, severe non-proliferative (NPDR) and proliferative disease (PDR), is also projected to increase. The international number of patients with VTDR is estimated to increase by 57% from 28.5 million in 2020 to 44.8 million in 2045 [1]. Screening to detect early sight-threatening lesions of DR for timely monitoring and treatment is an important strategy to reduce the burden of vision loss due to DR.

The study was conducted on fish. My research on fish: their current state, the role of environmental factors in their development, and the study of negative factors affecting their development were given priority.
In the early stages of toxicosis, the body color may be lighter than normal due to the disappearance of black pigment. The most severe signs of toxicosis are shrunken scales or the appearance of ulcers on the body. It is known that all changes in body color are clearly related to the amount of heavy metals in the fish's body. It should be noted that when water is polluted, the skin, gills, and digestive system of the fish are damaged first; then, through the blood, toxicants spread to the muscles, skeleton, liver, kidneys, and gonads. The organs for the main "extraction" of toxic substances from the body are the liver and kidneys, that is, the most harmful substances accumulate in them and morphological anomalies are more noticeable.

Shingles is a painful skin condition caused by the reactivation of the chickenpox virus, which can pose a greater risk to the elderly and those with a weakened immune system. In adults, the most common risk factors are advanced age, stress, other infections (such as AIDS or COVID-19), and immunosuppression. HZ reactivation has recently been observed following vaccination with COVID-19. Different clinical stages with variable clinical manifestations characterize the disease. Some of the symptoms carry a greater risk of complications than others. Postherpetic neuralgia, a chronic pain disease, is one of the most common possible complications. HZ vasculitis is linked to mortality and morbidity. gastrointestinal and renal complications have been reported. Early intervention with acyclovir or brivudine is the cornerstone of therapy. There are second-line treatments available. Management of pain is essential. Vaccination is a protective measure against shingles, and it can be administered alongside the COVID-19 vaccine. Healthy older individuals have access to two HZV vaccines for secondary prophylaxis: a live attenuated VZV vaccine and a recombinant adjuvanted VZV glycoprotein E subunit vaccine. A fully Covid-19 vaccinated patient was treated for Shingles which he received after he recovered from Covid-19. Our case study and recent research indicate a link between COVID-19 and shingles.

Ackerknecht has describe “hospital medicine” quite succinctly in this way – “it was only at the hospital that the three pillars of the new medicine – physical examination, autopsy, and statistics – could be developed” [1].
Following Ackerknecht, “hospital medicine” developed in tandem with the onslaught of industrial revolution in Europe – “These were essentially a consequence of the tremendous influx of uprooted and penniless boys and girls from the country and of the beginnings of the Industrial Revolution” [2]. Such idea is substantiated by other researchers too – “The patients were poor, less articulate, less troublesome, and it was much easier to carry out research on them (especially statistically based research which required large numbers in one place – the hospital). Moreover, the advantage of the poor was that the large numbers of post-mortems that were carried out would elicit no complaints from influential families” [3].

Human beings tend to experience or possess non-material and material objects in the world such as love and care or wealth and power. However, Aristotle contends that the well-being of a human being is to be appreciated in the human-centric fact that he has the distinct ability to exercise reason. If he manages to exercise his reason well then, he can realize his state of well-being as an objective state in the world. Such an objective state of well-being or being virtuous is the telos or purpose of being human and other objects in the world as mentioned above are subservient to this ultimate end of human life.
