Siyamthanda (Siya) Kolisi OIG (1992-) is the first black captain of the South African rugby team (Springboks) in its 128 years of existence. The Springboks have long been associated with Afrikaner people and a history of racism. Siya had to navigate a tumultuous upbringing in an environment characterised by various issues such as socioeconomic inequalities, high unemployment among Black people, and lack of resources.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to estimate the prevalence and characteristics of uncorrected refractive errors (URE) among individuals seeking eye care in Colombia from 2015 to 2019, using national health data.
- The overall prevalence of URE among eye care consultations was 30.26%, with astigmatism being the most common issue, particularly in those under 40, and geographic variations noted with higher cases in the Andean region.
- The findings indicate a rising trend in URE, emphasizing the need for targeted prevention programs and increased awareness among health professionals and government authorities to address this public health concern.
Federal legal and regulatory aspects of contingency management incentives.

November 2023
Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, University of California, San Francisco, United States of America.
Objective: Incentives are an integral part of Contingency Management (CM) Programs for substance use disorder treatment, primarily for the treatment stimulant use disorders, but because stimulant use often co-occurs with opioid use, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) permits the use of CM incentives as a part of its State Opioid Response grant program. However, incentives implicate federal laws and could result in either financial penalties or criminal sanctions against programs that use them.

Cardiomyocytes derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC-CMs) are a promising cell source for cardiac repair after myocardial infarction (MI) because they offer several advantages such as potential to remuscularize infarcted tissue, integration in the host myocardium, and paracrine therapeutic effects. However, cell delivery issues have limited their potential application in clinical practice, showing poor survival and engraftment after transplantation. In this work, we hypothesized that the combination of hiPSC-CMs with microparticles (MPs) could enhance long-term cell survival and retention in the heart and consequently improve cardiac repair.
