When I read articles like the one from the Wall Street Journal, it triggers a dual conflict within my own reflections. On one side, there's the allure of Longevity Escape Velocity (LEV), a concept championed by futurist Ray Kurzweil, suggesting that scientific progress might one day enable us to live more years than we age. It sparks a fascination with the prospect of technological advancements reshaping the trajectory of our lives. On the flip side, I grapple with a more personal belief — the idea that the length of life isn't the sole measure of its richness. For me, it's about the quality of the moments lived within that time. I contemplate how longevity, rather than being an end goal, should serve as a tool, a means to craft a life filled with purpose and significance. Yet, even as I ponder these philosophical tensions, I can't help but acknowledge that for individuals like the person who received the first full eye transplant, as mentioned in the Wall Street Journal, life surely changed for the better. It's a testament to the transformative power of medical breakthroughs and the profound impact they can have on an individual's lived experience.
A team of New York surgeons has performed the world’s first whole-eye transplant on a human, a breakthrough that could change vision.

Iris Reijmerink presented our work on stress and fatigue in the operating theatre at the International Meeting on Behavioural Science Applied to Surgery and Acute Care. - Fatigue causes a decrease in effort investment, leading to a drop in performance. This is unless the stakes are high. - Surgeons will uphold effort investment despite fatigue, demonstrating a high level of motivation. - In residents, effort investment decreases when fatigued, possibly as the stakes are lower due to the presence of a supervising surgeon. - While the effort investment will most probably protect task performance, future research should focus on the integration of quality indicators to confirm this.

🔃 A framework for decision-making, Cynefin Workshop This full-day workshop is set to take place on Sunday, the 5th of May in Cape Town, South Africa at ICIGS 2024 🌍 🏥 #Cynefin workshops are designed to engage participants in thinking differently about a generic area of a specific problem/collection of problems within their context. The design is constructed based on insights from complexity and cognitive science. The Cynefin framework is a sense-making #framework that can guide #decisionmaking and #management approaches. Workshops are designed to break pattern entrainment and allow for ritual dissent. Approximately 80% of the training is participative, with 20% instruction and guidance by a trained facilitator. Register here: https://lnkd.in/gKpQDHtV Facilitated by Dr Charmaine Cunningham, as part of UCT Global Surgery. Dr Cunningham is a senior lecturer in the Division of #EmergencyMedicine at the University of Cape Town.

Just added to the program! If you have been recently diagnosed with Chiari, with or without a syrinx, you may ponder many challenging questions about your future. Conference Host, Dr. Gerald Grant, will help answer some of these questions: 🔹What is the long-term risk of conservative management (no surgery)? 🔹Is surgery inevitable and should I just get it over with now while I am younger? 🔹Will Chiari shorten my lifespan? 🔹Does Chiari and or syrinx ever resolve on its own without surgery? Learn more about Dr. Grant: https://lnkd.in/eR362z3y #dukeuniversityhospital
