Rigidity Aspects of Penrose's Singularity Theorem.

In this paper, we study rigidity aspects of Penrose's singularity theorem. Specifically, we aim to answer the following question: if a spacetime satisfies the hypotheses of Penrose's singularity theorem except with weakly trapped surfaces instead of trapped surfaces, then what can be said about the global spacetime structure if the spacetime is null geodesically complete? In this setting, we show that we obtain a foliation of MOTS which generate totally geodesic null hypersurfaces. Depending on our starting assumptions, we obtain either local or global rigidity results.

Mothers prefer a hybrid model of postpartum care: a pilot mixed method study.

Background: Telehealth, including video consultation (VC), has become prevalent during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the experience and concern of women using VC for postpartum care has yet to be adequately studied but is crucial for their adoption. The study aimed to assess the experience and attitude of postpartum mothers (PPM) towards using VC as a novel model of care delivery and the factors that could potentially affect their adoption.

Type 1 diabetes: immune pathology and novel therapeutic approaches.

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is characterized by the progressive destruction of insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. Despite improvements in insulin monitoring techniques, there remains no cure for T1D. Individuals with T1D require lifelong insulin therapy and some develop life-threatening complications.
