The recently reported observation of VFTS 243 is the first example of a massive black-hole binary system with negligible binary interaction following black-hole formation. The black-hole mass (≈10M_{⊙}) and near-circular orbit (e≈0.02) of VFTS 243 suggest that the progenitor star experienced complete collapse, with energy-momentum being lost predominantly through neutrinos.

For this to occur it must be ensured that intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring devices are safe to bring into the MR imaging suite.

- In pre-antibiotic times, treatments for treponematoses relied on multiple arsenical and bismuth injections, highlighting the importance of population census and addressing both clinical and latent cases.
- With the advent of single-dose penicillin and global health initiatives, a significant decrease in disease incidence was achieved, though initial efforts in local health surveillance were often lacking.
- This led to a resurgence of the disease, particularly in Africa, necessitating a return to mass therapy combined with multipurpose immunization strategies.
