Surfing is enjoyed by many people around the world. A common problem in surfers is back pain during the "take-off," specifically the "pop-up." This article describes each part of the "take-off, and introduces an alternative to the "prone pop up" - called the "knee pop-up." This alternative is a suggested technique to alleviate the stress in the lumbar spine during surfing.

Article Synopsis
- - The study examines the use of a temporary high-dependency unit (POPUP-HDU) versus the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) for post-operative care of children undergoing spinal surgeries for scoliosis, aiming to assess the safety and effectiveness of POPUP-HDU in situations where PICU resources are limited.
- - Out of 111 children analyzed, 49 were treated in the PICU and 62 in the POPUP-HDU, with the two groups matched on various health-related metrics; results showed similar readmission rates to PICU and a shorter overall hospital stay for the POPUP-HDU group.
- - Complications were noted in both groups, with a slightly lower incidence in the PICU, indicating that while POP

Administering medications to patients with documented drug hypersensitivity reactions (DHR) poses a significant risk for adverse events, ranging from mild reactions to life-threatening incidents. Electronic healthcare systems have revolutionized the modern clinical decision-making process, with built in warnings. However, as these alerts become a routine part of healthcare provider's workflow, alert fatigue becomes a challenge.

Stretchable optoelectronic devices are typically realized through a 2D integration of rigid components and elastic interconnectors to maintain device performance under stretching deformation. However, such configurations inevitably sacrifice the area ratio of active components to enhance the maximum interconnector strain. We herein propose a 3D buckled height-alternant architecture for stretchable OLEDs that enables the high active-area ratio and the enhanced maximum strain simultaneously.

Background: The rapidly aging population and the growth of geriatric medicine in the field of internal medicine are not supported by sufficient gerontological training in many health care disciplines. There is rising awareness about the education and training needed to adequately prepare health care professionals to address the needs of the older adult population. Massive open online courses (MOOCs) might be the best alternative method of learning delivery in this context.

Liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) are a class of stimuli-responsive materials that have been intensively studied for applications including artificial muscles, shape morphing structures, and soft robotics due to their capability of large, programmable, and fully reversible actuation strains. To fully take advantage of LCEs, rapid, untethered, and programmable actuation methods are highly desirable. Here, a liquid crystal elastomer-liquid metal (LCE-LM) composite is reported, which enables ultrafast and programmable actuations by eddy current induction heating.
