Article Synopsis
- - Spatial data plays a vital role in archaeology, utilizing tools like orthophotos, digital elevation models, and 3D models for site mapping and monitoring, aided significantly by the rise of affordable UAVs for photogrammetry in the last two decades.
- - The paper discusses data collected from various sensors at Chalcolithic archaeological sites in Romania and emphasizes the need for effective data storage and dissemination due to the large volumes created by laser scanning and photogrammetry.
- - Over five summer campaigns, 19 archaeological sites were accurately mapped using techniques like airborne laser scanning and multispectral photogrammetry, with all data made publicly available on a dedicated website and open-data platform for broader access.
Article Synopsis
- The Linearbandkeramik (LBK) Neolithic communities were pioneers in spreading agriculture across Europe and this study showcases genetic data from 250 individuals to understand their ancestry.
- The findings reveal a notable difference in ancestry, with eastern LBK sites having a higher percentage of western hunter-gatherer genetics compared to western sites, indicating separate genetic paths for these groups.
- Additionally, the research suggests a patrilocal social structure, featuring more genetic connections among males within sites, and points out that the massacre at Asparn-Schletz likely involved individuals from a large population rather than a small community.
Objective: The COVID-19 pandemic had profound effects on society, including those living with chronic pain. This study sought to examine pandemic impacts on individuals enrolled in pragmatic clinical trials focused on nonpharmacological treatments for chronic pain.
Methods: We evaluated responses to a questionnaire on COVID-19 impacts that had been administered to participants (n=2024) during study enrollment in 3 pragmatic clinical trials for chronic pain treatment.
Background: Veterans transitioning to civilian life often have chronic pain from service-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) with higher risk for substance misuse. Many seek VA (Department of Veterans Affairs) compensation for MSD. Use of Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment for Pain Management (SBIRT-PM) by VA Post-9/11 Military2VA (M2VA) case managers presents an opportunity to engage these veterans in VA pain care and address substance misuse.

Regardless of the accessibility of several well-established pharmacological treatments, the percentage of patients achieving adequate blood pressure (BP) control is still significantly lower than recommended levels. Therefore, the pharmacological and non-pharmacological management of HTN is currently the major focus of healthcare systems.
