Rigoletto, composed by Giuseppe Verdi, is one of the most commonly performed operas around the world. At the time of its 1851 premiere in Venice, the work was remarkable for its portrayal of a main character with a spinal deformity. Through the music of Rigoletto, Verdi explored the societal tensions surrounding physical deformity in the 19th century, providing valuable lessons about the importance of approaching patient care with compassion and empathy in the present day.

Immigrant adolescents in Canada face challenges accessing accurate sexual and reproductive health (SRH) information and services. Many challenges stem from taboos associated with SRH, cultural and religious restrictions, and social beliefs regarding the unnecessity of SRH education for adolescents. We explored the SRH experiences of immigrant adolescents in the context of their cultural and religious perspectives.

Non-human-associated microbial communities play important biological roles, but they remain less understood than human-associated communities. Here, we assess the impact of key environmental sample properties on a variety of state-of-the-art metagenomic analysis methods. In simulated datasets, all methods performed similarly at high taxonomic ranks, but newer marker-based methods incorporating metagenomic assembled genomes outperformed others at lower taxonomic levels.

Hydrogel sensors are widely recognized in the fields of flexible electronics and human motion monitoring due to their multiple properties and potential applications. However, how to prepare hydrogels with multiple excellent properties simultaneously and how to improve the compatibility of conductive fillers with hydrogel matrices remain a major challenge. Therefore, in this work, liquid metal (LM) droplets stabilized by cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) were utilized to initiate the polymerization of acrylamide monomer (Am), which was used as a conductive filler.
