This article reconceptualizes the Neolithic transformation in Southwest Asia as a cumulative and recursive process shaped by the interplay of symbolic cognition, ecological thresholds, ritual innovation, and demographic intensification. Departing from linear or monocausal models, it proposes that the emergence of agriculture, sedentism, and monumentality resulted not from discrete breakthroughs but from feedback loops between communication, cooperation, and cosmology. Drawing on recent archeological evidence from sites such as Göbekli Tepe, Körtik Tepe, WF16, and Jericho, as well as theoretical insights from cognitive evolution and ritual theory, the paper argues that symbolic institutions-ritual, architecture, and myth-were not consequences of surplus, but preconditions for its development.

Background: Physiologic hydronephrosis in pregnancy is usually asymptomatic, however, definitions of symptomatic hydronephrosis vary, pain being the only criterion in some cases. We found no literature validating physiologic hydronephrosis as a cause of emergent right abdominal pain. We aimed to evaluate whether the incidence of hydronephrosis is higher in patients with right abdominal pain and no other identifiable cause, as compared to asymptomatic pregnant women (APW).

Introduction: Medical training often induces stress and burnout, exacerbated by competition and imposter syndrome, which can collectively contribute to trainee distress. Drawing from narrative theories, this conceptual paper examines how myths of the heroic doctor and discourses of exceptionalism contribute to this distress, suggesting that little stories may be harnessed to counterbalance these myths and promote more collaborative and inclusive practices.

Theoretical Framing: The doctor as hero myth promotes selflessness and excellence, but it simultaneously overshadows the contributions of day-to-day acts and of the collective healthcare team.

Emergence of shield immunity during spatial contagions.

Contagions spreading across space-including epidemics, infodemics, and socio-economic turbulence - generate complex geo-spatial patterns shaped by contagion state and risk-driven population mobility. Distribution of resources for mitigating these contagions adds further complexity. We present a concise, generic framework to model various contagion types within a space characterized by bounded risk disposition parameters and generalized resource effectiveness.
