Q3727659 Inglês
    Recent research suggests that about one in seven life-threatening allergic reactions are caused by foods not currently listed on mandatory allergen labels.

    Food allergies are rising, yet regulations, such as the European Union’s 14-item allergen list from 2011, have not been updated in years.

   To identify overlooked triggers, Dominique Sabouraud-Leclerc and colleagues analyzed 2999 cases of food-induced anaphylaxis reported between 2002 and 2023 to the Allergy-Vigilance Network. They found that goat or sheep milk, buckwheat, peas, lentils, pine nuts, kiwi, apples, beehive products and alpha-gal (a sugar that can trigger an allergy to red meat and other mammalian products) were responsible for about 14% of reactions. Goat and sheep cheese caused particularly severe outcomes, including two deaths, and hidden exposures in processed foods increased risks.

      Based on these findings, the researchers recommend adding goat and sheep milk products, peas, lentils, buckwheat and pine nuts to Europe’s mandatory allergen labelling. They argue that clearer information is crucial for protecting allergic individuals and could inspire broader international policy updates.

    For over 35 years, Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, in United States of America, has been helping infant patients and their families through a volunteer cuddler program.

    When families are away from the hospital’s neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), volunteers comfort infants with cuddles. Families can’t be in the hospital all the time, but the babies had needs after they left. The staff understood these needs and volunteer cuddlers helped. A lot of the volunteers are parents whose children were in the NICU before. After undergoing extensive training, they are using their experiences and skills to provide other parents a sense of relief and security.

    Studies show that interactions like holding, rocking, singing, reading and talking to the infants reduce stress and pain, and they improve their overall physical health.

How to Minecraft


Create! Explore! Survive! The basics for getting into the game! Minecraft is a game about placing blocks and having adventures. It's a survival experience about staying alive in your own fantastic world, that's also a creative space to build almost anything you can imagine!

We know Minecraft can be intimidating to newcomers, so we've assembled this simple guide to get you started. Trust us, you'll be a miner expert in no time!

[…]


Starting Out and Survival Tips!


Select Singleplayer in the Main Menu, then Create New World. You'll see this:


The health bar (the hearty looking one). Don't let it drop to zero. Otherwise, it's game over!


The food bar (the tasty looking one). When it's full, your health will regenerate, so keep snacking!


[…]

The secrets to survival are having a steady supply of food and staying safe from monsters. Luckily, building a shelter is easy. Your hand is your first mining tool, so use it to hit trees or dirt until they turn into blocks. These blocks will appear in your toolbar, and you can then place them right in front of you.



Build your shelter, making sure there’s no way for monsters to get in! Later, you'll be able to build doors, windows, etc., but for now, focus on surviving! Most monsters come out at night, so stay inside until sunrise and you'll be safe. Animals are everywhere and only take a few attacks to finish off. They’ll drop meat which restores health. There's also apples, melons and other veggie options to be found if you're vegetarian […]. Hmmm, you've got a point.


The first shelter you build will likely look like this, er, 'cosy' one here. Hey, we all start somewhere!

We often hear older generations talk about how much more difficult they had it when they were young—and doctors are no exception. It’s not uncommon to hear older physicians and younger physicians argue about whose training was more difficult. But how does medical school today actually compare to medical school in the past? Let’s explore both sides of the argument to determine who had it tougher.

Medical students today have much more information to learn compared to previous years. According to a 2011 article, the doubling time of medical knowledge in 1950 was approximately 50 years. In 1980, it was 7 years. In 2010, it was 3.5 years.

And today, medical knowledge is believed to double every 2-3 months.

Although there is a lag between the primary literature and the information that is added to medical school curricula, students are still learning much more information today than in previous years. Despite these vast increases in knowledge, medical school is still the same duration that it has been for decades. Students complete 2 years of preclinical coursework followed by 2 years of clinicals. This means that students have to cram much more learning into those 4 short years.

That being said, the way that today’s medical students learn is very different than what it was for students in the past. We have a much better understanding of how to optimize learning today. People have developed countless methods to be more efficient with studying. From the Pomodoro method to the Feynman technique and spaced repetition, we have hacked our study strategies so that we can learn more in less time.

In the past, medical students had to flip through their textbooks or notes to find the information they needed. Nowadays, you can take out your phone, put your question into Google, and have more information than you could want on whatever topic you’re trying to learn.

Beyond the amount of information and resources, however, there is also the fact that many schools nowadays are transitioning to pass-fail curriculums. In fact, within the last year, USMLE Step 1, which has long been the most important test in determining your competitiveness for residency, has also become pass-fail.

The goal of these changes has been to decrease stress and burnout among students as research has shown that student wellbeing is enhanced and academic performance is not negatively affected by pass-fail curriculums. That being said, due to the nature of these curricula, students may need to spend more time on extracurricular activities such as research and leadership to stand out for residency applications.

In addition, just because medical school curriculums and Step 1 are pass-fail doesn’t make them easy. Students must still put in significant time and effort to pass while managing their other activities. As such it can be difficult to gauge how much time to put into medical school classes vs studying for boards vs extracurricular activities. Achieving the perfect balance between all of these responsibilities can often feel near impossible.

'Th' sound to vanish from English language by 2066 because of multiculturalism, say linguists

Visitors expecting to hear the Queen’s English spoken on the streets of London in 50 years may need to "fink" again.


By 2066, linguists are predicting that the "th" sound will vanish completely in the capital because there are so many foreigners who struggle to pronounce interdental consonants - the term for a sound created by pushing the tongue against the upper teeth. Already Estuary English – a hybrid of Cockney and received pronunciation (RP) which is prevalent in the South East – is being replaced by Multicultural London English (MLE) which is heavily influenced by Caribbean, West African and Asian Communities. But within the next few decades immigration will have fundamentally altered the language, according to experts at the University of York.

The "th" sound – also called the voiced dental nonsibliant fricative – is likely to change to be replaced an "f", "d", or "v" meaning "mother" will be pronounced "muvver" and "thick" will be voiced as "fick". However the ‘h’ that fell silent in Cockney dialect is set to return allowing ‘ere’ to become ‘here’ once more.

Dr Dominic Watt, a sociolinguistics expert from the University of York, said: “Given the status of London as the linguistically most influential city in the English-speaking world, we can expect to see significant changes between now and the middle of the century. The major changes in the way we speak over the next 50 years will involve a simplification of the sound structure of words, they’ll become shorter probably. By looking at how English has changed over the last 50 years we can identify patterns that seem to repeat. British accents seem to be less based on class these days. Languages also change when they come into contact with one another. English has borrowed thousands of words from other languages: mainly French, Latin and Greek, but there are ‘loan words’ from dozens of other languages in the mix.”

The Sounds of The Future report was produced from a study involving analysis of recordings from the last 50 years as well as social media language use.

Other changes likely to become widespread by 2066 include a habit known as "yod dropping" in which the "u" sound is replaced with an "oo". It means that "duke" becomes "dook", "news" is pronounced "nooze" and "beauty" changes to "booty". Consonant "smushing" is also predicted where two sounds collapse together completely so that "wed" and "red" will soon be indistinguishable. Likewise the "l" at the end of words will be dropped so that the words "Paul", "paw" and "pool" all sound the same. Similiarly, "text" will lose the final "t" to become "tex". And, the glottal stop pronunciation of "t" – a brief catch in the throat when the tongue tip closed against the roof of the mouth – will be the default pronunciation.

Brendan Gunn, a voice coach who is currently working with Pierce Brosnan on his new US series said: “The younger generation always wants to be different from the older generation and that process will continue throughout history.“Text speak which is a form of shortening will become ordinary speak, so you may end up saying ‘tagLOL’ or ‘toteschill’ which means hashtag laugh out loud or totally chilled. Even in the Royal family it is probable that Prince George will speak much differently to the Queen. In London I think we will see the ‘th’ becoming an ‘f’ all the time.”

Technology will also change the way people speak, and the experts predict that as artificial intelligence emerges, the computers could begin to invent new words. Dr Watt added: “It is conceivable that some of the words that will come into English in the next 50 years will have been invented by computers because as computers become more intelligent it may be they start creating words of their own and feeding the, [sic] back to us.”

    In my research recently published in an open access journal, I used a popular language model, GPT-4 by OpenAI, to create simple summaries of scientific papers. These summaries generated by artificial intelligence (AI) used simpler language and more common words, like “job” instead of “occupation”, than summaries written by the researchers who had done the work.

    In one experiment, I found that readers of the AI-generated summaries had a better understanding of the science than readers of the human-written summaries. A second experiment investigated what effects the simpler summaries might have on people’s perceptions of the scientists who performed the research. In this experiment, participants rated the scientists whose work was described in the simpler texts as more credible than the scientists whose work was described in the more complex texts.

    Have you ever read about a scientific discovery and felt like it was written in a foreign language? New scientific information is probably hard to understand — especially if you try to read a science article in a research journal. In an era where understanding science is crucial for informed decision- -making, the abilities to comprehend and communicate complex ideas are more important than ever. Trust in science has been declining for years, and one contributing factor may be the challenge of understanding scientific jargon.

    As AI continues to evolve, its role in science communication may expand, especially if using generative AI becomes more commonplace. Simple science descriptions are preferable to and more beneficial than complex ones, and AI tools can help. But scientists could also achieve the same goals by working harder to minimize jargon and communicate clearly — no AI necessary.
