Linear Acceleration Is a Primary Risk Factor for Concussion

This study challenges the prevailing hypothesis that rotational acceleration is the primary cause of concussion by demonstrating through direct in vivo measurements that linear acceleration is a significantly more precise predictor of injury, leading to the development of a liquid shock-absorbing helmet technology that could reduce concussion risk by up to 73%.

Implementation of a Radiation Protection System at Four Hospitals in Ethiopia

This study assesses the implementation of radiation protection systems in four Ethiopian hospitals, revealing that while background and idle radiation levels are safe, poor operational practices and a lack of monitoring equipment lead to dangerously high exposure for staff during active X-ray procedures, necessitating immediate training, modern equipment, and dedicated radiation protection oversight.
