Intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRS) are valuable tools for enhancing the intelligence of the propagation environment. They have the ability to direct EM Waves to a specific user through beamforming. A significant number of passive elements are integrated into metasurfaces, allowing for their incorporation onto various surfaces such as walls and buildings.

Methods: The online literature databases, including PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library were systematically searched up to September 2024. The pooled correlation coefficient (r) of studies was calculated using Fisher's z and standard error (SE) of z's of all studies and our final results were reported in six groups including non-twin siblings, monozygotic (MZ) twins, dizygotic (DZ) twins, all-twins, all siblings, and spouse.
Effectiveness of manual therapy to the Cervical Spine on clinical outcomes and electrodiagnostic tests in people with carpal tunnel syndrome: A randomized controlled trial.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of adding cervical spine manual therapy (CMT) to conventional physical therapy (PT) for improving outcomes in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS).
- Forty-eight patients were split into two groups: one received PT alone, while the other received PT plus CMT, with various assessments conducted at baseline, after treatment, and six months later.
- Results indicated that the CMT group experienced significantly better improvements in pain levels and nerve function compared to the PT-only group, suggesting that combining CMT with PT could be a more effective treatment for CTS.
Article Synopsis
- Ganser syndrome is a rare disorder marked by giving almost correct answers to questions, hallucinations, and altered consciousness, often linked to functional neurological symptoms.
- A case study highlights a 53-year-old man who showed these symptoms after sudden left-sided weakness, following a police report of indecent exposure.
- His inconsistent mental status during evaluation suggested he was aware of his thoughts, and previous hospitalization records support that fear of legal consequences triggered his Ganser syndrome symptoms.
Article Synopsis
- The study analyzes how different familial structures influence the heritability and prediction accuracy of Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) using data from 11,818 individuals, including genetic information and family pedigrees.
- It identifies three familial structure scenarios to determine their impact on estimating heritability, highlighting that including families with various disease statuses leads to more accurate results.
- The research reveals that while familial structures enhance heritability estimations, omitting certain families can improve disease risk prediction and strengthen correlations with Polygenic Risk Scores.
