Detection and Treatment of Nerve-Related Disorders Combined in Single Procedure
he peripheral nervous system (PNS) serves as the communication network that links the brain and spinal cord to every other part of the body. It consists of two parts: the somatic nervous system, which governs voluntary movement and sensory
information, and the autonomic nervous system, which manages involuntary functions like heart rate and digestion. Essentially, the PNS is critical in almost all diseases due to its role in signal transmission throughout the body. Problems such as overacCont’d on page 15

epsis, a condition marked by an excessive immune response to infection, presents a formidable diagnostic challenge, with significant implications for global health and healthcare budgets. Annually, sepsis is responsible for more fatalities than the combined total of all cancer types and huge expenses for healthcare systems. Sepsis survivors often endure severe, lasting impacts on Cont’d on page 12
Reducing False Positives in Breast Cancer Screening

adiologists typically detect one case of cancer for every 200 mammograms reviewed. However, these evaluations often result in false positives, leading to unnecessary patient recalls for additional testing, which not only causes patient anxiety but also consumes valuable medical resources. Now, a new study has shown how artificial intelligence (AI) can improve the accuracy of breast cancer screening by min-
groundbreaking artificial intelligence (AI) tool can predict a patient’s health trajectory by forecasting future disorders, symptoms, medications, and procedures, thereby aiding in clinical decision-making and improving healthcare. See article on Page 2

Biomaterial Combined with Microsurgical Approach Speeds Up Soft Tissue Recovery
oft tissue recovery and regrowth largely depend on the formation of new blood vessels to deliver oxygen and nutrients. However, this process, known as vascularization, can be slow, affecting recovery and regrowth after severe injuries or illnesses
like cancer. Clinicians typically use bulk hydrogel scaffolds — crosslinked polymer networks — to aid blood vessel formation during reconstructive surgery, but these scaffolds have limitations. They can cause delays leading to complications like seroma (fluid Cont’d on page 22
