The term zeitgeber (literally, time giver or time cue) refers to environmental variables that are capable of acting as circadian time cues. These are the cues that influence the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of the hypothalamus which famous as the "biological clock" inside us.
A simple mnemonic to remember all those cues think "LET'S Eat":
1. Light (most powerful).
2. Exercise or Movement.
3. Temperature.
4. Social Cues.
5. Eat (food).
These act unconsciously but can be used consciously to keep your biological rhythm healthy which impact all forms of health, including of course, mental health.

is the ratio of positive to negative interactions necessary to make a team successful. This means that it takes about three positive comments, experiences, or expressions to fend off the languishing effects of one negative. Dip below this tipping point, now known as the Losada Line, and workplace performance quickly suffers. Rise above it—ideally, the research shows, to a ratio of 6 to 1—and teams produce their very best work.
• Best positive to negative ratio 3-1 to 6-1.
• Interestingly, Fredrickson found that 3:1 was the ratio at which people began to flourish outside work as well. Her research revealed that when people have three positive thoughts to every negative thought, they are more optimistic, are happier, and feel more fulfilled (2:1 was considered “languishing” and 1:1 was “depressed”). There’s an old saying that “bad news comes in threes.” Instead of just accepting this depressing adage, try to balance every piece of bad news with three good pieces of good news.
Why a skewed ratio? Shouldn’t one positive neutralize a negative? No. Research has emphatically proven that because we naturally give more weight to negatives, it takes more positives to balance them out.

I missed the company of these two great guys at the House of Kebob restaurant here in Nashville last night. Next time ISA!
Among several approaches for "safe femoral access" to reduce groin complications, is the use of the small-sized micro puncture kit to perform limited angiography before proceeding with large bore sheath insertion.
The video below, shows 1st the access was rather low in the SFA.
After repeat access, the location is appropriate in CFA in the 2nd video.

I found this on the internet and figure out that it can be of benefit to inform future doctors
A streamed interview with a program director to answer "what do program directors look for?", "how do I optimize my application?"", what's the best strategy for interviews?"

Interesting fact you should know:
According to the state of AI report 2023, the field of medicine is the fastest growing field in terms of mentions of AI in research papers, meaning the new wave of technology will have unprecedented rule in making new medical breakthroughs that will change the way we do medicine in the future.
This is just the beginning.
Thrilled to be on my cardiology rotation with Doctor @Fathi Idris !
The learning experience has surpassed all expectations. Grateful for the mentorship and the chance to delve deep into the world of cardiology !! 🫀♥️
The 85% Rule of Optimal Learning:
Very simple but very effective rule, if you're not failing 15 percent of the time when you're engaging in a learning experience, you're not maximizing learning. Or to put this another way, you know you've hit the learning sweet spot when you're succeeding at whatever you're trying to do 85 percent of the time.
So if you have the option to set the difficulty of learning or training, adjusted it to keep the learning success and accuracy at around 85%.
If you interested and want to read something different, new but relevant two very recent articles I decided to share them with you about the merge of machine learning technology with the world of medicine, this certainly will result in speeding up medical research and lots of changes of how we do medicine in relatively short time, so expect big updates coming to medicine from AI:
