49ers face unfair disadvantage in NFL schedule, but regain lead in NFC West standings

Additionally, the 49ers have been scheduled for two Thursday night games, which creates a shortened work week for preparation and recovery. Despite heading into their post-bye-week game with some rest and the potential return of Deebo Samuel, the 49ers have not enjoyed the usual advantages of having a week off, while their opponents have had the upper hand in multiple ways.

Groundbreaking Robot-Assisted Liver Transplant Successfully Completed at Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis

Surgeons at Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis have successfully performed the first robot-assisted whole-liver transplant in the U.S. The surgery, led by a team from Washington University School of Medicine, took place in May and the patient, a man in his 60s with liver cancer and cirrhosis, has recovered swiftly. The use of robotic technology allows for precise movements and smaller incisions, resulting in a shorter recovery time compared to traditional open liver transplants. This innovation in liver transplants has the potential to improve patient outcomes and expand the availability of transplant procedures.

The Neurological Effects of Extended Space Missions: Brain Plasticity and Psychological Resilience

New research reveals that long-duration space travel leads to significant expansion of brain ventricles in astronauts, requiring approximately three years for full recovery. The study analyzed brain scans from 30 astronauts and found that ventricular enlargement is the most enduring change resulting from spaceflight. The expansion of ventricles is caused by fluid shifts due to the absence of gravity. The findings could impact future mission planning and the timing of repeated space travel, suggesting that astronauts should wait three years after longer missions for their brains to fully recover.
