💭 Wisdom tooth extraction, also called removal, is a surgical procedure to take out one or more wisdom teeth. These are the four permanent adult teeth located at the back corners of your mouth on the top and bottom. ➡️ If a wisdom tooth, also known as a third molar, doesn't have room to grow, it can become impacted. 🙌 Here’s a brief overview of the process: 1/ Consultation and examination: Initial assessment and discussion. 2/ Preparation: ➡️ Anesthesia: Local anesthesia (numbs the area), sedation anesthesia (relaxes you), or general anesthesia (puts you to sleep) will be administered depending on the complexity of the extraction and your comfort level. 3/ Extraction:     ➡️ Incision: If the tooth is impacted (trapped within the gum or bone), the dentist will make an incision in the gum tissue to expose the tooth and bone.    ➡️ Bone removal: Any bone blocking access to the tooth root is removed.    ➡️ Tooth removal: The tooth may be extracted whole or broken into smaller pieces for easier removal. 4/ Cleaning and closure: The site is cleaned of any tooth or bone fragments.   ✓ Stitches may be used to close the wound and promote healing (some dissolve on their own).  ✓ Gauze is placed over the extraction site to control bleeding and help form a blood clot. 5/ Recovery: You will be monitored as the anesthesia wears off.   ✓ Post-operative care: You’ll receive instructions on managing pain, swelling, and diet, as well as any prescribed medications. Follow-up appointments may be scheduled to check healing. Note: This is not personalized healthcare advice; for that, kindly refer to a #healthcare professional near you.

The Birth of the AI Scientists cannot replace Humans. Only Humans understand societal needs, directing AI towards research that truly benefits humanity. Scientific discovery is one of the most sophisticated human activities in history. Sakana AI introduced The AI Scientist: Automating Scientific Discovery. In collaboration with the University of Oxford and the University of British Columbia, researchers at Sakana AI have developed a system called "The AI Scientist." This revolutionary approach aims to automate the entire process of scientific research using AI, particularly large language models (LLMs). Key features of The AI Scientist include: → Automating the full research lifecycle, from generating ideas to writing papers → Conducting experiments and summarizing results → Implementing an automated peer review process → Iteratively developing ideas in an open-ended fashion The AI Scientist has several potential implications for scientific research: -Democratization of research: By reducing costs and computational demands, it could make scientific discovery more accessible to smaller labs and institutions. -Accelerated innovation: The system could significantly speed up the pace of scientific progress. -Diverse applications: While initially focused on machine learning research, the approach could potentially be applied to various scientific fields. BUT despite its promise, The AI Scientist is still in its early stages and faces several challenges: -Occasional flaws in generated papers -Ethical considerations regarding AI-driven research -The need for human oversight and verification of results While The AI Scientist represents a significant step towards AI-assisted scientific discovery, it's important to note that it is a tool to augment human scientists rather than replace them. The development of such systems must aim to enhance scientific capabilities and accelerate research, not to create AI entities that function as independent scientists. Only by combining human ingenuity with AI's computational power, we unlock unprecedented scientific potential, accelerating discoveries while maintaining ethical integrity and real-world relevance. ♻️ Repost this if you want your network to learn more about how AI changes science.

Most Food Is Slowly Killing Our Metabolism! 🤬 (Here’s how to prevent/fix it) When it comes to fat loss, diet and nutrition are key. ✅ But it doesn’t have to be complicated. Focus on a calorie deficit and fill the plate with nutrient-dense, whole foods. 🍎🍇🥒 Making meals at home? That’s where the magic happens. Control the calories. Control the portions. Control the results. Nothing wrong with eating out, but cooking at home is a game changer for weight loss. 👀 Here’s a grocery list of staples that fuel the body and support fat loss: PROTEIN Sources: Ground turkey, lean ground beef, chicken breast, eggs, egg whites, tuna, salmon, Greek yogurt, tofu, bison, beans. 🥚🍗 HEALTHY FATS: Avocado, nuts (almonds, cashews, pistachios), nut butter, olive oil, dark chocolate, cheese, Greek yogurt with fat. 🍫🥑🥜 CARBOHYDRATES: Rice (brown or white), potatoes (sweet or white), oats, lentils, fruit (apples, bananas, berries), veggies (broccoli, carrots, bell peppers). 🍚🍠🥔 SNACKS / DRINKS: Water, sparkling water, coffee, tea, unsweetened almond milk, carrot sticks, rice cakes, Greek yogurt, hummus with bell peppers, string cheese, beef jerky, 100 calorie popcorn bags. 💧🍿 Remember: It’s not about restriction, but smart choices. Let these foods power the journey to a healthier, leaner body. PS- Imagine the results when fueling the body with the right foods. Ready to simplify fat loss?

We all have those genetic traits that we wish could have played out a little differently. Maybe a little taller, smarter or stronger. And then, there are the devastating genetic medical conditions that none of us want to have. What if you could pick & choose the exact genetic composition of your unborn child? Would you do it? https://lnkd.in/daQY9XMX 🚫 The Problem: *Natural reproduction is a genetic lottery. We don’t always know how our kids will turn out until they are born — healthy or potentially battling a devastating genetic disease. ➡️ The Current Solutions: #ReproductiveGenetics Through techniques like Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) and Genetic Reproductive Medicine, we can screen embryos before implantation to reduce genetic disorders and improve outcomes. Some see potential benefits as follows; ✅Reducing Genetic Disorders & reducing long-term health burdens. ✅Enhancing Quality of Life, healthier lives, longer lifespans. ✅Empowering parents to gain more control over their decisions. ✅Improving IVF Success, higher chances of healthy pregnancies. ✅Potential for Positive Traits could make the world a better place. Others see potential risks as follows: 🚫Risk of Misuse: The slippery slope to non-medical enhancements. 🚫This tech isnt cheap, creating a genetic divide between rich & poor. 🚫Reduced Diversity, loss of genetic variation could have negative effects. 🚫Children might feel pressured to live up to 'designed' potential. 🚫Ethical Concerns: Are we playing God? Where’s the line? 🚫Unknown unintended Consequences: Is there long-term effects of altering natural selection. Is there a self preserving ''good reason'' why natural selection sometimes ''gets it wrong''. Big shout out to leaders in this space; CRISPR Therapeutics, Genomic Prediction, Igenomix, Part of Vitrolife Group Are you for, or against Reproductive Genetic Selection?
