Mothers' Assistant for Labor analgesia (MALA): a novel artificial intelligence interactive avatar for patient education in obstetric anesthesia.

Background: Epidural analgesia is the gold standard for labor pain relief, yet performing patient education remains challenging due to time constraints, language barriers, and variable health literacy. Traditional educational approaches often fail to ensure adequate patient understanding. Artificial intelligence (AI) interactive avatars offer a novel solution for delivering standardized, empathetic, and accessible patient education.

Introducing "Papyrus Graft": A Versatile and Reliable Backup in Challenging Structural Rhinoplasty.

Background: Structural rhinoplasty is a complex surgical procedure that aims to restore and enhance nasal structure and function by reconstructing the underlying framework. Robust grafting material is required for durable results. For revision or secondary rhinoplasty cases where septal and conchal cartilage reserves are exhausted, autologous rib cartilage grafting remains the cornerstone of structural reconstruction, providing comprehensive solutions.

Synthetic MFG MVIRI Level 1.5 VIS channel data of Europe from 2006-2020 for long-term climatological research.

Geostationary satellites observe the Earth, providing essential data for climate research and weather forecasting. Understanding long-term changes in cloud cover is particularly important, as changes in cloud albedo can affect global temperatures directly. The Meteosat programme has been monitoring Europe and Africa since 1977, providing a good basis for long-term climatological research.

Effects of biochar amendment at various soil depths on maize roots and growth indices.

Biochar application in the soil has shown its potential for improved plant growth, root structure, and nutrient availability. However, uncertainties remain regarding the optimal depth for biochar application and its interaction with roots, which significantly influence plant growth and development. This transparent rhizobox trial consists of five treatments: control treatment (T1) with recommended dose of fertilizer, and four biochar addition treatments with different depths viz.

The NYEE-Orbis oculoplastic surgery online curriculum: global access to oculoplastics education.

Purpose: This study investigates the global reach of two novel, interactive, online, and free courses entitled "Basics of Oculoplastic Surgery" (BOS) and "Intermediate Oculoplastic Surgery" (IOS) and assesses how effectively they enhanced knowledge of oculoplastics conditions and procedures.

Methods: The two courses were developed and uploaded online via the e-learning platform of Orbis International, Cybersight. Pre- and post-course surveys were administered to all enrollees to assess for demographics, course progress, baseline experience, and learning outcomes.
