Many people use a smartwatch to monitor their cardiovascular health, often by counting the number of steps they take over the course of their day, or recording their average daily heart rate. Now, researchers are proposing an enhanced metric, which combines the two using basic math: Divide your average daily heart rate by your daily average number of steps.The resulting ratio — the daily heart rate per step, or DHRPS — provides insight into how efficiently the heart is working, according to a study conducted by researchers at the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University and published today in…

Swedish sci-fi adventure flick Watch the Skies is using a technique called ‘visual dubbing’ to alter the cast’s lip movements and map them to dubbed English dialogue for international audiences – without reshooting a single scene.That’s thanks to Los Angeles-based movie-making AI firm Flawless, and its TrueSync technology that analyzes the entirety of an actor’s performance, utilizes deep learning to create a volumetric 3D representation of their face, and then adapts their mouth movements in the footage in post-production.TrueSync has actually been around for a few years, and was notably used to remove F-bombs from the PG-13 edit of the…

The Food and Drug Administration’s top vaccine official, Dr. Peter Marks, resigned under pressure Friday and said that Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s aggressive stance on vaccines was irresponsible and posed a danger to the public.“It has become clear that truth and transparency are not desired by the secretary, but rather he wishes subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies,” Dr. Marks wrote to Sara Brenner, the agency’s acting commissioner.

Researchers at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) have developed a tiny sensor that can help keep tabs on metabolites – substances produced or used when your body breaks down food, medication, or even its own fat and muscle in metabolic processes – far more extensively than current methods.This tech could unlock new ways to detect and manage diseases and disorders, track patients’ responses to treatment, and accelerate the development of more effective drugs. What’s particularly interesting is how the sensor follows natural biochemical processes, like the way molecules are transformed and interact inside our bodies.The team from UCLA’s California…

Making an herbal multivitamin tincture is the same process used to make any herbal glycerite, but these specific herbs are a natural source of nutrients and make an excellent vitamin.
