By Elissa Kawamoto, Hearing Care Professional at HearUSA From creaking doors and howling winds to the sudden shriek of a movie soundtrack, certain sounds seem almost designed to make our skin crawl. But what is it about these eerie noises that trigger such an instant, visceral reaction even when we know we’re perfectly safe? The answer lies deep within the way our brains have evolved to process sound and identify threats. The Science of Non-Linear...

Picture this: you’ve just started a diet to lose weight. You got some info from TikTok, Reddit, or YouTube, and now you’re sitting in your kitchen staring at another plate of plain chicken and brown rice — the third one today. You can’t help but think to yourself, do people who look good on TikTok always eat like this? Should I be eating the same way? Eventually, you’ll get tired of following whatever cookie-cutter diet...

One of the key aspects of rehabilitation is ensuring patients have access to the resources and knowledge they need to actively recover. This may be especially true for athletes and sports enthusiasts, for whom the concept of being sedentary for weeks on end can have very real psychological and physiological impacts. While much may depend on the nature and severity of the individual’s injury or condition, resuming movement gradually, without allowing muscles and ligaments to...

The quest to slow down aging has captivated humanity for centuries, but recent scientific breakthroughs are transforming this ancient dream into tangible reality. Modern research reveals that aging isn’t an inevitable decline but rather a complex biological process that can be significantly influenced through targeted interventions. Understanding these mechanisms opens unprecedented opportunities for extending both lifespan and healthspan. The Science Behind Cellular Aging At the cellular level, aging occurs through multiple interconnected pathways. Telomeres, the...

Assisted reproductive technologies are a lab-based treatment that fertilises sperm and eggs outside the human body. ICSI is known to improve fertilisation rates for patients with past conception failures or those with male factor infertility. ICSI treatment is a specialised type of assisted reproductive technology procedure. The procedure is a type of IVF treatment. It is performed with a micromanipulation technique. This involves the use of fine surgical tools and a high-powered microscope. Sperm is placed...

Early imaging integration and planning avoid trial delays, protocol amendments, and concerns over data quality. Introduction Imaging is central to many modern-day clinical trials, especially in therapeutic areas such as oncology, neurology, and obesity/weight loss. Proactive and therapeutically aligned decisions about imaging processes are a benchmark of clinical trial success, providing the data needed to evaluate treatment response and the cohesion and clarity needed for regulatory acceptance. Both of these aspects are required to bring...

Preclinical in vivo imaging offers real-time, non-invasive insight into disease mechanisms, therapeutic effects, and drug behavior, supporting the smarter and faster translation of science into new treatments, diagnostic tools, and healthcare interventions. Introduction Translational research bridges the gap between laboratory research and clinical, real-world application, taking the findings from controlled clinical studies and translating them into practical interventions. Where some research focuses on understanding biological mechanisms with no direct link to patient care, and other...
