A new technology called knee kinesiography is changing the way doctors treat of osteoarthritis of the knee. This form of osteoarthritis affects nearly four million Canadians, or 13.6 per cent of the population, according to the Public Health Agency of Canada.

Osteoarthritis of the knee is most common in people over the age of 60, but it also affects a significant proportion of younger people, even those in their 40s. For reasons still unknown, women are more likely to develop osteoarthritis than men.

In osteoarthritis of the knee, the protective cartilage in the joint wears away over time, and can lead to bone rubbing on bone. The disease is associated with aging, but it can also be caused by injury or other forms of physical stress to the cartilage.

Anatomical abnormalities and other inherited factors can also lead to a mechanical dysfunction of the knee. This may result in

MOREHEAD, Ky. — In this pretty town on the edge of coal country, a high-tech greenhouse so large it could cover 50 football fields glows with the pinks and yellows of 30,600 LED and high-pressure sodium lights.

Inside, without a teaspoon of soil, nearly 3 million pounds of beefsteak tomatoes grow on 45-feet-high vines whose roots are bathed in nutrient-enhanced rainwater. Other vines hold thousands of small, juicy snacking tomatoes with enough tang to impress Martha Stewart, who is on the board of AppHarvest, a startup that harvested its first crop here in January and plans to open 11 more indoor farms in Appalachia by 2025.

In a much more industrial setting near the Hackensack River in Kearny, New Jersey, trays filled with sweet baby butterhead lettuce and sorrel that tastes of lemon and green apple are stacked high in a windowless warehouse — what is known as a vertical

SURFSIDE

There is hope that the remains of all the victims of the Surfside condo collapse will be recovered this week, and the effort to find them is being supported by a special team that trains for disasters like this.

Think of it like a mobile medical examiner’s office; it is a mass fatality team with 175 members, and every one of them is contributing. Their job is to do whatever they can to bring closure to the victims’ families. They offer equipment, personnel resources and have even deployed some anthropologists and fingerprint experts.

“Our anthropology staff can help identify human remains through skeletal elements,” said Dr. Jason Byrd, commander of Florida’s Emergency Mortuary Operations Response Team. And of course, the fingerprint experts are doing fingerprints and then turning them over to law enforcement authorities for identification.”

Identification used to take days, or even weeks. Now, you

At first glance, the deal looks like a head-scratcher. Photovoltaic technology, which uses panels to convert light directly into electricity, is miles ahead of CSP, which uses mirrors to reflect and concentrate sunlight into very high heat, which is then used to produce steam, electricity or hydrogen. The heat is often stored in a medium that is unlikely to cool off quickly, such as molten salt or rocks (in the case of Heliogen). PV is cheaper, takes up less space and has generally had fewer

“Human genome editing has the potential to advance our ability to treat and cure disease, but the full impact will only be realized if we deploy it for the benefit of all people, instead of fuelling more health inequity between and within countries”, said Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO).

The total complement of genes in any organism or cell, is known as its genome.  

WHO said in a news release that the forward-looking reports are the result of broad, global consultations on the different types of gene therapies, which involve modifying a patient’s DNA to treat or cure diseases. These include germline and heritable human genome editing which involves making changes to the genetic material, that can include developing human embryos. 

WHO’s two-year analysis studied the diverse perspectives of hundreds of scientists, patients, faith leaders, indigenous peoples and others.

The pandemic has been the most challenging time period to date when it comes to unemployment. Millions of Americans have lost their jobs due to the coronavirus pandemic, which shut down hundreds of thousands of businesses worldwide.

From my perspective, we witnessed a slowdown during the pandemic in the tech industry overall. The sector saw an overall stall on new jobs being posted due to the uncertainness of the demand for services during these unprecedented times. 

Although some tech services slow down on hiring others were booming by the demand for tools that promote the virtual workforce. Communications such as team collaboration tools and video meeting tools witnessed increased demand by this new way of working virtually. These trends have ultimately changed the way we work and will extend beyond the pandemic. Here are a
