Digital and mechatronic methods, paired with artificial intelligence and machine learning, are transformative technologies in behavioral science and biology. The central element of the most important pollinator species-honey bees-is the colony's queen. Because honey bee self-regulation is complex and studying queens in their natural colony context is difficult, the behavioral strategies of these organisms have not been widely studied.

Objective: To assess the feasibility of remotely training glaucoma patients to take a 10-session clustered virtual reality (VR) visual field (VF) test (Vivid Vision Perimetry [VVP-10]) at home, analyze results for test-retest variability, and assess correspondence with conventional perimetry.

Design: Cross-sectional study.

Subjects: Twenty-one subjects with glaucoma were enrolled and included in the feasibility assessment of remote training.

Background: Instability can lead to poor functional results after tricompartmental total knee arthroplasty (TKA). We identified a group of patients who appeared to have anteroposterior (AP) instability in early-range flexion (ie, 20 to 30° range) associated with anterior knee pain and feelings of instability. The purpose of this study was to assess the clinical results in terms of stability and anterior knee pain after revision TKA with a medial-pivot implant and to assess the effect of the implant positioning used in the revision technique.

Epidemiology and definition of PPH worldwide.

Best Pract Res Clin Anaesthesiol

December 2022

Postpartum/peripartum hemorrhage (PPH) is an obstetric emergency complicating 1-10% of all deliveries and is a leading cause of maternal mortality and morbidity worldwide. However, the incidence of PPH differs widely according to the definition and criteria used, the way of measuring postpartum blood loss, and the population being studied with the highest numbers in developing countries. Despite all the significant progress in healthcare, the incidence of PPH is rising due to an incomplete implementation of guidelines, resulting in treatment delays and suboptimal care.
