Some prominent contemporary acupuncture pundits have published assertions that when the was written 2000+ years ago, acupuncture clinicians had no knowledge of anatomy and "limited" clinical knowledge. Historical records as well as medical literature published over the past hundred years evidence those claims are grossly inaccurate. Those erroneous reports have likely contributed to the negative views of acupuncture that continue to be promulgated in the Western (allopathic) medical literature by prominent academic physicians and researchers: specifically, that acupuncture lacks a proper scientific basis, and that its clinical benefits most likely result from a potent ("enhanced") placebo effect.

Background: Hemodialysis relies on accurate body mass (BM) assessment to determine ultrafiltration volumes, but we have not identified published practice patterns disclosing how to handle clothing mass. Here we investigated the potential impact of clothing mass on predialysis BM determination, hypothesizing that a standardized template for clothing mass estimation enhances accuracy, compared with conventional practice.
Methods: Measurements included dressed and undressed BM predialysis.

December 2023
Institute of Energy and the Environment, University of São Paulo, Av. Prof. Luciano Gualberto, 1289 - Vila Universitária, São Paulo, 05508-900, Brazil.
Background: Climate change is having adverse effects on the livelihoods of small-scale populations, particularly in relation to their subsistence practices. Scientific literature widely acknowledges that smallholders must first perceive climate changes to take necessary precautions and adapt to the new conditions. However, variations exist in the terminology used across the literature, and in how it conceptualizes these perceptions.
