Syndactyly is a condition where two or more fingers or toes are fused together. It's simple if it involves just the skin and complex if bones and tissues are involved as well. /science

I'm using my profile to talk about medical conditions and preventions. Today I'm talking about a very common and deadly disease: Cirrhosis. Cirrhosis is a chronic liver disease characterized by the formation of scars (fibrosis) in the liver tissue, resulting from continuous damage to the organ. This damage can be caused by various factors, such as excessive alcohol consumption, hepatitis B and C, autoimmune diseases, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (hepatic steatosis), and exposure to toxins.

How to enhance bone density and prevent osteoporotic fractures? Studies show that weight-bearing exercises are more effective than supplements. These exercises, which transmit forces through the skeleton and stimulate bone growth, include high-impact activities such as jumping, aerobics, and running. In contrast, low-intensity exercises like walking and swimming appear to have insufficient impact on bone density in the spine, wrist, or overall skeleton, but it has been shown to significantly improve hip bone density when they are done in sufficient frequency and intensity. Note that weight-bearing impact exercises may not be advisable for patients with severe osteoporosis or a recent history of fractures.

What if psychedelic use itself is much less psychologically beneficial than the mere fulfillment of all the many conditions that must be met before one can use psychedelics at least somewhat pleasurably?

"Mathematicians have long studied how shapes can fit together to cover surfaces without gaps. However, their typical approach – using shapes with sharp corners and flat faces – is rarely seen in the natural world. Instead, living organisms use a dazzling array of patterns to form and grow, for instance in muscle tissues. Most strikingly these patterns are characterised by shapes with curved edges, non-flat faces, and few, if any, sharp corners. Up to now, how nature achieves geometrical complexity using these ’soft shapes’ has eluded mathematical explanation. The answer... is a new class of mathematical shapes called soft cells. These shapes have a minimal number of sharp corners, and cover space without gaps." https://www.ox.ac.uk/news/2024-09-12-mathematicians-discover-new-universal-class-shapes-explain-complex-biological-forms#:~:text=A%20team%20of%20mathematicians%20from,sea%20shells%20to%20muscle%20cells.

How hard would it be to kinetically launch mass to escape velocity without it burning up in the atmosphere? If we built an electromagnetic launch rail atop Mount Everest on 1 kilometer-tall pylons to begin with as thin of an atmosphere as possible, how long would it need to be to hypothetically work? We need cheaper and more sustainable ways to enter space. Would floating a launch rail at, say, 10km altitude with balloons and tethering it with a very long power cable—then floating payload up to it—be more feasible?

super excited to see how paperQA2 will help us do literature review more efficiently and hopefully more accurately much better than getting med students and residents to read hundreds of abstracts https://www.futurehouse.org/research-announcements/wikicrow

The Moon has always been better than Mars as our next habitat. It’s 45% oxygen by mass and 40% at the surface. Solar radiation is abundant for intermittent thermoelectric power generation.
