Our laser technique can tell apart elephant and mammoth ivory – here’s how it may disrupt the ivory trade

Retrieved on:

목요일, 4월 25, 2024

In recent years, the global trade in elephant ivory has faced significant restrictions in an effort to protect dwindling elephant populations.

Key Points:

In recent years, the global trade in elephant ivory has faced significant restrictions in an effort to protect dwindling elephant populations.
The sale of mammoth ivory, sourced primarily from long-extinct species, however, remains unregulated.
But it’s a significant challenge for customs and law enforcement agencies to distinguish between ivory from extinct mammoths and living elephants.
Now our new study, published in PLOS ONE, presents a major breakthrough – using a well known laser technique to tell mammoth and elephant ivory apart.

This activity not only has commercial implications. It also raises significant ethical and environmental concerns. That’s because it disturbs preserved ecosystems and involves the extraction of resources that have great value to paleontological science.

Laser insights

We use a non-invasive laser technique known as Raman spectroscopy to identify the origin of a piece of ivory.
The technique works by directing a laser light onto the ivory sample.
This released light scatters back with more or less energy than the initial laser light sent to the sample.

Important implications

This makes it an ideal tool for customs officials who need to make rapid decisions.
Our study was conducted on a benchtop spectrometer (a device which breaks up light by wavelength) within a laboratory.
We are working with Worldwide Wildlife Hong Kong and the Foreign and Commonwealth Development Office to develop this technique.

What if flat feet were…normal? Debunking a myth about injuries

Key Points:

Specifically, having flat feet was believed to predispose individuals to future pain and other musculoskeletal problems (i.e.
Flat feet were believed to be a kind of time bomb.
We demonstrate that the theory that having flat feet inevitably leads to pain or other musculoskeletal problems, is unfounded.

Where does this theory come from?

This theory became central to the educational programs of health professionals.
In fact, science has never validated the theory: it has remained at the hypothesis stage.
Nevertheless, over the years up until the present, many health professionals have continued to support the theory that flat feet pose a major risk for developing musculoskeletal disorders.

Do flat feet cause musculoskeletal injuries?

Furthermore, a systematic review and a meta-analysis concluded that runners with flat feet are no more at risk of injury than those with regular feet.
These analyses call into question the idea that people with flat feet have a substantial risk of developing musculoskeletal disorders.
Unfortunately, this frequently results in people having unnecessary interventions, such as using orthopaedic shoes or custom-made foot orthoses for asymptomatic flat feet.

Setting the record straight

Based on current scientific knowledge, assessing whether a person has flat feet to determine their risk of injury is ineffective and counterproductive.
While it is possible for a person with flat feet to develop a musculoskeletal injury, this does not necessarily mean that flat feet caused the injury.
It is quite possible for two variables to be present at the same time without there being a causal link.
A cause-and-effect relationship implies that a change in one variable (the cause) leads to a change in another variable (the effect).

Reducing overdiagnosis in health care

Reducing overdiagnosis in health care has become crucial.
Since overdiagnosis often leads to overtreatment, avoiding unnecessary treatments will help to alleviate patients’ concerns about their flat feet.
It’s time to change our perspective and our approach to the significance of flat feet and to recognize their natural diversity in the context of overall foot health.

HOUSTON, March 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- When marathon runner Caryn Honig could not walk without pain, she was told she needed a knee replacement, and her running days were most likely over.
But Honig wouldn't take "no" for an answer and searched for a doctor who would perform knee replacement surgery and get her back running again.
Since her knee replacement in 2021, the University of Houston professor is back running again.
But after the unexpected suicide of her father in 2022, she turned her passion for running into a fundraiser to support suicide prevention, education, and awareness programs.

KISTA, Sweden, Feb. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Mr. Lamb has inclusion body myositis (IBM), a rare autoimmune disease that primarily affects skeletal muscles with reduced muscle strength and endurance as characteristic symptoms. IBM differs from other types of autoimmune diseases with slowly progressive muscle weakness and muscle atrophy, finger flexor weakness is a central and early presenting symptom. Patients experience challenges in many areas of their lives. Gripping and holding objects as well as fine-motor activities are major parts of the challenges they face. Individuals with advanced IBM have difficulties holding utensils, gripping a glass to drink, holding a toothbrush, dressing and undressing as well as many other activities of daily living requiring grip.
