Fast Five Quiz: Immune Thrombocytopenia Pathophysiology
Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an acquired or congenital autoimmune disorder that destroys platelets, leading to a range of symptoms including purpura and excessive bleeding. Although most cases are self-limiting, it can cause severe bleeding and intracranial hemorrhage and can have either primary or secondary etiology. Although the primary mechanism has been known since the 1950s, more recent research has shed light on the specific pathophysiology of the disease.

Will a significant plume of Saharan dust reach the US next week?
Forecasters are keeping a close eye on a significant plume of Saharan dust that is making its way off of Africa and through the Atlantic for the possibility that it could reach parts of the United States late next week. Every year, NOAA estimates more than 180 million tons of dust leave the African continent, with the extremely dry air cutting down on thunderstorm activity and tropical cyclone formation. With the help of forecast models and satellites, meteorologists are tracking whether the current plume will survive its trek across the Atlantic Ocean or simply mix out of the atmosphere to be noticeable. If it does survive the trek, it could mark the first major visible dust event of the season across Florida and the Gulf Coast, although it won't be the first wave of dust particles in the skies over the U.S. this year. 2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season Outlook: Here's How Active This Year Could Be Without El Nino, La Nina Patterns During the final days of May, a minor invasion of the particles was detected over parts of the Gulf of America, including the Florida Keys. The event was largely not visible to the naked eye but was confirmed using scientific data from weather balloons. Weather balloons equipped with radiosondes, an instrument that measures atmospheric conditions, picked up signs of mid-level dry air associated with Saharan dust over the Florida Keys on Friday. These devices provide critical data on temperature, humidity levels, and wind speeds and can help confirm the presence of fine airborne particles from Africa. Historically, Saharan dust outbreaks across the Atlantic peak in June and July before tapering off in late August. In 2024, record-breaking amounts of dust affected Europe, leading to hazy skies and subdued tropical cyclone development in the Atlantic basin. The SAL's dry, stable air acts as a suppresses tropical cyclone formation, which is one reason why early-season hurricane activity tends to be confined to the Gulf, Caribbean and western Atlantic. If the current plume maintains its density, it could bring hazy skies and colorful sunrises to Florida and cutdown on thunderstorm activity. During more pronounced events, the dust can also lead to potential health concerns; however, this outcome is fairly rare in the U.S. According to medical experts at WebMD, fine dust particles can irritate the eyes, nose and throat, particularly for individuals with respiratory illnesses. 5 Things To Know About The Saharan Dust PlumeOriginal article source: Will a significant plume of Saharan dust reach the US next week?

North Huntingdon Township battling squatters parked on old restaurant property
After a three-year, drawn-out court battle to get the Rivertowne Pub in North Huntingdon condemned and demolished, the township is now dealing with apparent squatters living in a camper on the property. According to neighbors, the camper trailer has been parked on the lot since before the old Rivertowne Pub along Route 30 was condemned and demolished last year. KDKA-TV spoke via phone with Eric Gass, who is the township commissioner for Ward 7, where this blighted strip of land sits. He says this property has been a headache for years and the camper squatters are just the latest issues they have had. "So we have issued a violation notice, we have given them 20 days to resolve everything," Gass said. "Those 20 days started about two or three days ago. And after that, we are going to issue a citation as we plan to abate or have them removed from the property." Gass says the property is currently owned by an LLC that is largely absent from what has been going on, so dealing with this lot has fallen to the township. He says the two big issues are public health and public safety. These squatters are discarding tons of trash, and that trash attracts rodents and disease. And there is reason to believe that some of that trash may be being burned. "You are only allowed to burn certain things on certain times on certain days in the township. There is an ordinance on that," said Gass. "So yeah, there is concern. And if we were going through a dry season, of course you'd be concerned about spillage of that fire, because it is very wooded and that could find itself to the businesses to the left, to the right, as well as the Dusty Rhodes trailer park." The township hopes that this land will be cleared soon and the company that owns it will redevelop it.

Wireless Face e-Tattoo Tracks Mental Strain and Workload
A temporary electronic forehead tattoo that wirelessly measures brainwaves and eye movement may offer an accurate measurement of mental workload (MWL) and mental strain, new research suggested. E-tattoo to track mental workload in real time Using a lightweight battery and thin sensors, the e-tattoo was able to reliably collect electroencephalography (EEG) and electrooculography (EOG) data to estimate MWL in a small study of six participants as they completed increasingly difficult memory tests. The technology is a less bulky and cheaper alternative to conventional brain activity monitors and may help track the mental workload of workers in safety-critical jobs like aviation, air traffic control, and healthcare. Researchers say it also has applications for neurological monitoring of patients with epilepsy or to monitor cognitive decline. 'Our wireless electronic tattoo stands out for its ultrathin, skin-conformal design, which allows for stable EEG/EOG signal acquisition even during dynamic activities like walking or facial movements,' investigator Nanshu Lu, PhD, professor and chair of engineering, The University of Texas at Austin, told Medscape Medical News . 'Unlike other platforms like headbands or glasses, our tattoo is helmet-compatible, low-profile, and uses low-cost disposable materials, making it uniquely suitable for real-world deployment.' The findings were published online on May 29 in the journal Device . Study Details and Performance There is no universally accepted definition of MWL, but it can generally be described as the degree to which a person's working memory capacity and cognitive processes are engaged by an ongoing task, the authors noted. MWL levels can be assessed using subjective self-assessment questionnaires like the post-task NASA Task Load Index, as well as physiological measures such as heart rate, galvanic skin response, EEG, and EOG. The wireless e-tattoo features stretchable serpentine-shaped, graphite-deposited polyurethane electrodes coated with an adhesive poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) poly-styrene sulfonate composite to reduce impedance and improve adhesion to the skin. The e-tattoo is integrated with a battery-powered flexible printed circuit that transmits EEG and EOG data in real-time via Bluetooth Low Energy. To evaluate the e-tattoo efficacy, the researchers analyzed EEG and EOG signals collected on six healthy participants wearing the wireless forehead e-tattoo during cognitive tasks designed to measure working memory, called dual N-back tasks. Self-assessment using the NASA–Task Load Index, task performance metrics, and physiological features were also collected. Each participant completed a single experiment session lasting approximately 2.5 hours, which included three runs of N-back trials. 'This single-session design was sufficient to train individualized models, although variability between participants was observed, especially in the relative importance of EEG vs EGO features,' Lu said. As the cognitive workload increased, frontal delta- and theta-band powers increased, while alpha-, beta-, and gamma-band powers decreased. The authors noted this is in line with studies linking theta-band power to an increase in working memory load and increasing MWL with a decrease in alpha power and increase in frontal theta power. To test the viability of mental workload estimation using the e-tattoo, the researchers then built a random forest model to predict the level of mental workload experienced by participants during the N -back tasks. They found that the model successfully estimated the mental workload for all N levels for all six participants. 'Key findings of our study show that the wireless forehead e-tattoo reliably captures forehead EEG and EOG signals, and these signals can be used to accurately estimate mental workload during a dual N-back task, which is a widely used standard mental workload test,' Lu said. 'Our model achieved robust classification of cognitive load levels using only minimally processed physiological data.' The Road Ahead For forehead EEG/EOG–driven workload detection, the e-tattoo system is already self-sufficient but integration with other physiological sensors such as heart rate or galvanic skin response could improve accuracy and robustness in mental workload vs mental stress differentiation, Lu noted. 'In medical settings, this technology could be very useful for neurological monitoring, including early detection of cognitive decline, noninvasive epilepsy tracking, and assessing patient engagement during neurorehabilitation,' she said. 'Its comfort and unobtrusiveness make it especially appealing for pediatric or geriatric use.' The temporary e-tattoo also holds a cost advantage over traditional EEG systems, with the e-tattoo chips and battery pack priced at $200 and disposable sensors about $20 each. 'Being low-cost makes the device accessible,' study co-author Luis Sentis, PhD, also from The University of Texas at Austin, said in a news release. 'One of my wishes is to turn the e-tattoo into a product we can wear at home.' Currently, the e-tattoo works only on hairless skin but the researchers are working to combine it with ink-based sensors that work on hair. For this new study, Lu also noted that EEG signals were postprocessed and the predictions done offline. 'To make this technology really valuable, we can and need to achieve real-time mental workload assessment and provide timely micro-interventions, such as visual or audio alerts on the phone or even electro tactile stimulations applied to the skin by the e-tattoo before performance decline or burnout occurs,' she said. 'Evaluating these micro-interventions in real-world applications may prove our EEG system's capacity to significantly improve human-AI collaborations,' Sentis told Medscape Medical News .
