PREZADA MAYO CLINIC: Recentemente, fiz uma tomografia computadorizada (TC) do meu peito para avaliar uma pneumonia. Eu n茫o tinha pneumonia, mas obtive um alto 铆ndice inesperado de c谩lcio nas minhas art茅rias coron谩rias. O c谩lcio que eu ingiro pode causar isso? Pensei que o c谩lcio estava relacionado com a sa煤de 贸ssea. No momento estou sendo avaliado pelo meu risco de doen莽a card铆aca e acidente vascular cerebral. Os outros membros da minha fam铆lia devem checar os seus escores de c谩lcio?

Sleep apnea, a common yet underdiagnosed sleep disorder, contributes to the development of dementia among adults 鈥 particularly women, a Michigan Medicine study suggests. At every age level, women with known or suspected sleep apnea were more likely than men to be diagnosed with dementia.
Researchers have developed a compact, wearable ultrasound device that monitors muscle activity. Attachable to the skin with an adhesive and powered by a small battery, the device wirelessly captures high-resolution images of muscle movements, enabling continuous, long-term monitoring. When worn on the rib cage, it effectively monitored diaphragm function for respiratory health assessments. When worn on the forearm, it accurately captured hand gestures, allowing users to control a robotic arm and even navigate virtual games. This new technology has potential applications in healthcare for conditions affecting muscle function, as well as in human-machine interfaces for more natural robotic control.
Quantum technologies promise breakthroughs in communication, computing, sensors and much more. However, quantum states are fragile, and their effects are difficult to grasp, making research into real-world applications challenging. Empa researchers and their partners have now achieved a breakthrough: Using a kind of 鈥渜uantum Lego鈥, they have been able to accurately realize a well-known theoretical quantum physics model in a synthetic material.
