Article Synopsis
- Early hominins likely had access to open, grassy areas and may have relied on underground storage organs (USOs) for their diet, particularly during drier seasons.
- Geladas, a primate species that primarily eats grass, shift their diet to include more USOs when grass is scarce, making them an interesting case study for examining dietary strategies.
- Research showed that while male geladas increased their movement during dry months, they actually had higher energetic status, suggesting that USOs might be energy-rich rather than fallback foods, indicating potential advantages in their consumption for early hominin diets.
Anesthesia for patients with life-threatening injuries is an essential part of post-accident care. Unfortunately, there is variability in trauma anesthesia care and numerous nonstandardized methods of working with patients remain. Uncertainty exists as to when and how best to intubate trauma patients, the use of vasopressors, and the appropriate management of severe traumatic brain injury.

This study assessed the performance of GSI, like bioretention basins, in accumulating metals. Twenty one GSI basins were considered for this study, which were located in New York and Pennsylvania, USA.

Anaesthesia involvement can provide valuable input using both advanced diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. Commonly performed interventions may be complicated in this setting including airway management, damage control resuscitation, and acute pain management.
