It's tiny puncture mark,

The procedure is less painful than a regular biopsy,

Humans can live longer without food,
. . . then they can without water?

Cape Town, South African,
. . . is the first major city to face the threat of
. . . running out of drinking water.

Despite covering about 70% of the Earth's surface,
. . . water, especially drinking water,
. . . is not as plentiful as one might think.
Only 3% of it is fresh.

Over one billion people lack access to water, and another
. . . 2.7 billion find it scarce,
. . . for at least one month of the year.

Here are the other 11 cities most likely to run out of water:
1. São Paulo
2. Bangalore
3. Beijing
4. Cairo
5. Jakarta
6. Moscow
7. Istanbul
8. Mexico City
9. London
10. Tokyo

. . . following an operation.

Scientists from the University of Wisconsin, Madison,
. . . have developed an experimental app known as
. . . "WoundCare".

In a test of the app,
. . . 40 vascular surgery patients were instructed,
. . . to regularly upload photos of their wound,
. . . answering a few onscreen questions regarding any symptoms,
. . . daily for 2 weeks.

Nurses reviewed each submission, detected
. . . 7 wound complications, and
. . . 1 false negative.

"We set out to come up with a protocol,
. . . where patients could become active participants in their care, and
. . . allow us to be in closer communication, and
. . . monitor their wounds after they leave the hospital.
This approach allows us to intervene at an earlier time,
. . . rather than waiting for patients to come back in,
. . . after the problem has already developed,
. . . past the point of being able to manage it,
. . . on an outpatient basis."

. . . it all has to do with sleep.

It has long been understood that sleep plays a vital role in the process of,
. . . consolidating memories from short-term storage to long-term,
but, how this plays out biologically has been unclear.

The theory was that memories are saved during sleep, when
. . . 2 types of brain waves fall into sync.
. . . The faster waves known as sleep spindles,
. . . need to perfectly fall into line with deeper slower waves,
. . . for memories to be properly consolidated.

As we age,
. . . our brain increasingly fails to accurately coordinate these
. . . 2 types of deep-sleep brainwaves, and
. . . this results in an inability to accurately retain new memories.
"The mistiming,
. . . prevents older people from being able to effectively
. . . hit the save button on new memories,
. . . leading to overnight forgetting rather than remembering,"
