Published: July 2021

We present observational confirmation of Hawking's black-hole area theorem based on data from GW150914, finding agreement with the prediction with 97% (95%) probability when we model the ringdown including (excluding) overtones of the quadrupolar mode. We obtain this result from a new time-domain analysis of the pre- and postmerger data. We also confirm that the inspiral and ringdown portions of the signal are consistent with the same remnant mass and spin, in agreement with general relativity.

The study of transient and variable events, including novae, active galactic nuclei, and black hole binaries, has historically been a fruitful path for elucidating the evolutionary mechanisms of our universe. The study of such events in the millimeter and submillimeter is, however, still in its infancy. Submillimeter observations probe a variety of materials, such as optically thick dust, which are hard to study in other wavelengths.

Background: Compared to ischemic stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) has higher mortality and more severe disability. Asian such as Chinese and Japanese and Mexican Americans, Latin Americans, African Americans, Native Americans has higher incidences than do white Americans. So, ICH is an important cerebrovascular disease in Asia.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focused on identifying risk factors that influence recovery in patients with basal ganglia cerebral hemorrhage who underwent neuroendoscopy, as this type of hemorrhage is a significant cause of strokes.
  • A total of 130 patients were analyzed, using various machine learning models to evaluate important radiomic features and predict functional independence six months after discharge, with promising accuracy results (AUC values).
  • Ultimately, the findings suggest that advanced imaging techniques and machine learning can help evaluate outcomes for these patients, potentially guiding better treatment strategies.

Aim: We aimed to investigate whether a combination of inflammatory and radiological biomarkers can improve intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) hematoma expansion (HE) prediction.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients with primary supratentorial ICH within 6 h of symptom onset between September 2021 and April 2022. Predictors were explored using univariate and logistic regression analysis.

Introduction: Developmental outcomes for children and young people with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) are optimised if their needs are identified early. Yet, health workers miss vital opportunities to identify and respond to FASD due to a lack of support, knowledge and skills.

Methods: Through surveys and interviews, our study investigated what child and family health workers in an Australian metropolitan local health district understand, already do and want to learn about FASD.
