Voyce’s Post

💡 Did you know that the first languages of North America trace back to two distinct Siberian language groups from 24,000 years ago? A new study by UC Berkeley linguist Johanna Nichols, published in the American Journal of Biological Anthropology, used linguistic typology and statistical analysis to trace the evolution of these languages. By comparing and organizing languages based on shared criteria, they uncovered patterns that link early North American languages to their Siberian origins. The findings show how these ancient languages shaped the linguistic landscape of Canada, the U.S., and Mexico. 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇲🇽 This research highlights the deep roots and interconnectedness of human language—a mission we live by every day.

For this week's MTM we are looking into an essential medical device that saves lives – the defibrillator. It’s a life-saving device that delivers an electric shock to the heart, helping to restore a normal rhythm during a cardiac emergency. There are various types of defibrillators, including AEDs commonly found in public places, and advanced units used in hospitals. Understanding how these devices work can be crucial during emergencies. At Voyce, our mission is to help patients from all linguistic backgrounds understand their care. This includes comprehending the significance and usage of medical devices like defibrillators. Clear communication is critical in emergencies. Curious about other medical terms or tools?

This Medical Term Monday, we're highlighting 'epidermis.' The epidermis is the outermost layer of the skin, acting as a shield against environmental threats and helping to keep our bodies protected. 🌍🩹 Knowing about the epidermis is crucial for skin health. This layer not only defends us from harmful elements but also regulates temperature and prevents water loss. Got questions about other medical terms? Drop a comment below! ⬇️ We're here to make healthcare terminology easy to understand, one term at a time. #Voyce #Epidermis #MedicalTermMonday
