Strong chest and back muscles linked to lower heart attack risk

Researchers at the University of Edinburgh used AI to analyse hospital scans of 1,722 patients, mostly in their 50s, who had chest pain. The analysis suggests that people with greater muscle density in the chest and back area are less likely to suffer a heart attack or die prematurely. Scientists believe this is because such individuals tend to exercise more.

Should torso muscle strength testing become standard in cardiac diagnostics?

Overdoing it at the gym landed one man in hospital with rhabdomyolysis

A man was hospitalised in January 2025 after his first bootcamp class due to exertional rhabdomyolysis, a condition where overworked muscles release proteins that can damage the kidneys. The condition is becoming more common as high-intensity workouts grow in popularity. Doctors warn that sudden, extreme exercise without adequate preparation is especially dangerous.

Should gyms be required to warn clients about rhabdomyolysis before HIIT classes?

First complete papyrus scroll from Herculaneum library fully deciphered

For the first time, researchers have fully deciphered a papyrus scroll from the ancient library of Herculaneum, the Roman city destroyed by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD. The Herculaneum scrolls had long been considered impossible to unroll without damage due to their carbonisation. The breakthrough represents a major advance in the study of surviving ancient texts.

Should digital decipherment methods replace physical archaeological examination of ancient scrolls?

CD Projekt dev: Cyberpunk 2077 scenes were far harder to make than Witcher 3's

A developer working on Cyberpunk 2 has revealed that creating first-person perspective (FPP) scenes is radically more complex than third-person (TPP) ones. Scenes in Cyberpunk 2077 were extremely more difficult to produce than equivalent ones in The Witcher 3. The difference stems from the need to perfect every detail visible directly from the player's viewpoint.

Is first-person perspective better for RPGs than third-person?
