Potential use for intraoperative recurrent laryngeal nerve monitoring?
A noninvasive, continuous monitoring system for the larynx can diagnose conditions like dysphagia and dysphonia, help tweak treatments and provide biofeedback during rehab exercises.

For more details about the work on how the gut microbiome relates to human social networks, and how you can identify friends through their poop, as featured in this interview today on @scifri.bsky.social www.sciencefriday.com/segments/you... here is a thread:
The bacteria in your gut depend on where you are in the social network around you.
The microbes within us treat our social networks as the extended environment in which they thrive. They can spread from person to person.

Primary aldosteronism is under-diagnosed/treated.
All hypertensive patients can be screened by aldosterone:renin ratio (ARR).
Age 45 or younger with hypokalemia and unilateral adrenal tumor can proceed to laparoscopic adrenalectomy without adrenal vein sampling.
