In Nigeria, access to proper medical services is not only costly but also not readily available. We are faced with different problems that require immediate attention (first-aid) to save life before we can get access to proper medical attention from professionals in hospitals and clinics which may be some miles away from our location at that instant. A lot of us do not know how to administer First-Aid in different circumstances that we find ourselves.

Use of medical devices in the magnetic resonance environment is regulated by standards that include the ASTM-F2213 magnetically induced torque. This standard prescribes five tests. However, none can be directly applied to measure very low torques of slender lightweight devices such as needles. Methods: We present a variant of an ASTM torsional spring method that makes a “spring” of 2 strings that suspend the needle by its ends. The magnetically induced torque on the needle causes it to rotate. The strings tilt and lift the needle.

Extra-Vehicular Activity and Intra-Vehicular Activity spacesuits block external sound. This induces sensory deprivation, a side effect is lower cognitive performance. This can increase the risk of an accident. This undesirable effect can be mitigated by designing suits with sound transparency. If the atmosphere is available, as on Mars, sound transparency can be realized by augmenting and processing external sounds. If no atmosphere is available, such as on the Moon, then an Earth-like sound can be re-created via generative AR techniques.

In this study, 31 Chinese patients diagnosed with depression (mean age 26.60±9.21) and 33 healthy control participants (mean age 26.00±7.36) participated, during which emotional picture descriptions and interview dialogues are collected. The experiment underwent review and received approval from the hospital's Bioethics Committee and the school's Medical Ethics Committee, and all the participants signed for the informed consent.
