Researchers originate a variational solution to this problem and illustrate the plausibility of its implementation in the oculomotor brainstem. We show, through simulation, that the Bayesian filtering equations that implement 'planning as inference' can generate both saccadic and smooth pursuit eye movements.
Our bodies are not just passively growing older. Cells and tissues continuously use information from our environments—and from each other—to actively coordinate the aging process. A new study from the University of Michigan Life Sciences Institute now reveals how some of that cross-talk between tissues occurs in a common model organism.
According to a study published in the journal Anesthesiology, for adults undergoing surgical procedures under general anesthesia, an intraoperative decision support system with real-time visualization can improve process measures, but not clinical outcomes.
A study led by the University of Waterloo found it's generally a combination of unhealthy behaviors among youth that could be the greatest predictors of whether or not young people will experience obesity issues in adulthood.
The rural physician shortage is well-established, and there's the notion that doctors do not necessarily establish their practices where the need for health care is greatest—in poor and unhealthy communities.
In this study, researchers estimated that the more weight gained, the higher the risk of cancer. Obesity is the biggest cause of cancer in the UK, after smoking. And with 2 in 3 UK adults either overweight or obese. But while it sounds logical that losing weight would reduce the risk. Most of this evidence comes from studies that have used body mass index (BMI) as a measure of body fat.
The problem of opioid addiction now affects us all. It was reported that a former National Football League quarterback Erik Kramer, tried to commit suicide after his 18-year-old son, a high school quarterback, died of a heroin overdose.
Segmental bone defects (SBDs) secondary to trauma invariably result in a prolonged recovery with an extended period of limited weight bearing on the affected limb. Soldiers sustaining blast injuries and civilians sustaining high energy trauma typify such a clinical scenario. These patients frequently sustain composite injuries with SBDs in concert with extensive soft tissue damage.
According to this study, researchers examined Knee pain and functional impairments in elderly individuals are associated with the development of depressive symptoms. The study has published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society.
In this study, researchers said the vegetarian diet was more effective in reducing LDL cholesterol, whereas the Mediterranean diet led to a greater reduction in triglycerides. The study is published in Circulation.
Researchers from the University of Geneva (UNIGE), they have succeeded in revealing the dynamics of the pathogen's physiology and metabolism during its growth in exudates, the biological fluids that seep out of burn wounds. The bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the main causes of infections and sepsis in people. The study has Published in the journal Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology.
Researchers have solved a mystery by revealing the mechanism of certain immune cells work together to instigate autoimmune kidney disease. In glomerulonephritis, an immune disease of the kidney, rogue immune cells damage the kidney via a misdirected inflammatory attack. The study was published in Nature Communications.
