Former child actor Jake Lloyd, now 35, opens up about his journey with schizophrenia and the support he's receiving. After a frightening incident in 2023, where he stopped his car on a busy road, Lloyd spent 18 months in a mental health facility in Southern California. His mother, Lisa, shared that
Half a century ago, the medical community got a game-changer. Sir Graham Teasdale and Bryan Jennett introduced the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) in The Lancet. They wanted a clear, easy-to-use tool to rate coma levels. Back then, doctors used different words for consciousness. It was confusing. The GCS c
When you tear your anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), it's not just one part of your knee that suffers. Often, other structures in your knee get hurt too. These are called secondary stabiliser injuries. Some common ones are medial meniscus ramp lesions (MMRLs), lateral meniscus posterior root tears (
Ever wondered what makes some athletes better than others? It might have a lot to do with their vastus lateralis muscle. This muscle, part of your quadriceps, can tell a lot about your sports performance. A recent study looked into how the architecture, quality, and stiffness of this muscle affect a
In New York City, drivers have always found creative ways to avoid paying tolls. Now, with the introduction of congestion pricing, some folks are already plotting how to bypass these new fees. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) relies on tolls to fund its operations, including subways,
Powder X-ray diffraction, or PXRD, is a major tool used to study materials. While it’s commonly used, the part where humans have to manually analyze the data is tough, and automatic methods aren't great at fine details. Predicting exact crystal structures from PXRD has been a challenge. That's where
On January 4th, the hockey and basketball courts were buzzing with action. In girls' hockey, Willmar shut out Litchfield-Dassel-Cokato 4-0.

In Moscow, scientists have been investigating the tiny particles of dust that float in the air, specifically those smaller than 1 micron, called PM1. This dust is found in traffic zones, residential parking areas, and parks. They discovered that the types of metals and metal-like substances, or MMs,
Scientists have created a cool new 3D crystal structure using barium and a special acid. This structure, called a metal-organic framework (MOF), is built from long, rod-like building blocks. These blocks are connected by a type of acid called terephthaloylbis(azanediyl)diacetic acid, or TPBA for sho
