Time-restricted eating (TRE) is a type of intermittent fasting (IF). Food can be consumed as desired during the eating period, but not during the remainder of the day. Studies suggest that many of the health benefits of fasting may not simply be the result of weight loss, but also due to the body's responses to the fasting that lead to improved metabolic functioning.

As a practicing clinical nurse, a phenomenon I experienced at times was the sudden acute sense that something was going wrong with a person in care at the sub-critical unit in the hospital where I worked. In fact, many hospital nurses have their story of "something's not right" in relation to a person they were caring for/with, in that the day started with them on a coherent path to healing and then suddenly the nurse feels something is going very wrong, and yet there is nothing observable that would justify such a feeling. This feeling would be called "intuition" by many nurses, a concept most notably theorized in nursing by Patricia Benner in her extensive program of scholarship.

After its introduction in the ICD-10-CM in 2016, sarcopenia is a condition widely considered to be a medical disease with important consequences for the elderly. Considering its high prevalence in older adults and its detrimental effects on health, it is essential to identify its risk factors to inform targeted interventions. Taking data from wave 2 of the ELSA, using ML-based methods, this study investigates which factors are significantly associated with sarcopenia.

Article Synopsis
- Metatarsal fractures, particularly affecting the fifth metatarsal, are common injuries, making up 5-6% of outpatient fractures, with zone 2 fractures—specifically Jones fractures—being difficult to manage due to poor blood supply and higher nonunion rates.
- Surgical treatment, particularly open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF), is preferred for Jones fractures, as it leads to better healing rates compared to conservative treatment methods.
- The surgical technique involves careful anatomical marking and using a guidewire for screw placement to compress the fracture, followed by a recovery period that includes non-weight-bearing and gradual weight-bearing activities.*
