Could wound care benefit from the artificial intelligence storm taking place worldwide
ChatGPT answers questions using natural human-like language, and it can also mimic other writing styles, such as those of songwriters and authors, using the internet as it was in 2021 as its knowledge database. Through such communities, where personalised content becomes the individuals personalised data/study repository, this provides a personalised pool of information from which generative artificial intelligence can provide a more personalised output to your search or question. AI is certainly going to revolutionise this data management and aid with both assessment and treatment approaches.

Impact of a Nutrition Knowledge Intervention on Knowledge and Food Behaviour of Women Within a Rural Community
Introduction: The influence of women in shaping household dietary habits is undeniable, with their maternal nutritional knowledge significantly impacting the overall well-being of their families. The study objective was to evaluate the impact of maternal nutritional knowledge on household dietary habits, emphasising the improvement in women’s nutrition knowledge and food-related behaviours. Purpose: This study aimed to assess the immediate and long-term effects of a nutrition education intervention on the nutrition knowledge and food-related behaviours of women. Methodology: A quasi-experimental research design was employed to assess the effects of a Nutrition Education Programme (NEP) on female caregivers’ nutrition knowledge and food-related behaviours. This study followed a four-phase approach: baseline survey, programme formulation, implementation and evaluation. Data were collected at various stages of this study using two measurement tools: a Dietary Diversity Questionnaire and a Nutrition Knowledge Questionnaire. Results: Statistical analysis was performed to answer the research questions and to test the null hypotheses at a significance level of 0.05. The intervention positively affected nutrition knowledge, with the mean percentage increasing from 49.1% to 63.7% and reaching 64.4% at follow-up, indicating long-term knowledge retention. The findings of this study suggest a positive shift towards increased consumption of nutrient-rich food groups. There were significant improvements in the food groups’ consumption of the meat group (7.15 ± 2.35), eggs (1 ± 0), dairy (3.76 ± 1.19), cereal (8.78 ± 2.09), legumes (2.86 ± 0.95) and fats and oils (2.12 ± 0.55). Additionally, the variety of food groups consumed significantly improved (p = 0.012) post-intervention, with an increasing trend in the consumption of a variety of food groups (7–9). Recommendation: Tailored nutrition education (NE) programs, in conjunction with addressing socioeconomic barriers positively impact nutritional behaviours, promote healthier food consumption patterns and assist in long-term knowledge retention in disadvantaged communities.

A crown of wishes
She is the princess of Bharata - captured by her kingdom's enemies, a prisoner of war. Now that she faces a future of exile and scorn, Gauri has nothing left to lose. But should she trust Vikram, the notoriously cunning prince of a neighboring land? He promises her freedom in exchange for her battle prowess. Together, they can team up and win the Tournament of WIshes, a competition held in a mythical city where the Lord of Wealth and Treasures promises a wish to the victor. It seems like a foolproof plan - until Gauri and Vikram arrive at the tournament and find that danger takes on new shapes: poisonous courtesans, mischievous story birds, a feast of fears, and twisted fairy revels. New trials will test their devotion, strength and wits at every turn. But what Gauri and Vikram will soon discover is that there's nothing more dangerous than what they most desire.

Evaluating explainability for graph neural networks
As explanations are increasingly used to understand the behavior of graph neural networks (GNNs), evaluating the quality and reliability of GNN explanations is crucial. However, assessing the quality of GNN explanations is challenging as existing graph datasets have no or unreliable ground-truth explanations. Here, we introduce a synthetic graph data generator,

, which can generate a variety of benchmark datasets (e.g., varying graph sizes, degree distributions, homophilic vs. heterophilic graphs) accompanied by ground-truth explanations. The flexibility to generate diverse synthetic datasets and corresponding ground-truth explanations allows

to mimic the data in various real-world areas. We include

XAI provides data loaders, data processing functions, visualizers, GNN model implementations, and evaluation metrics to benchmark GNN explainability methods.

Red queen
Mare Barrow's world is divided by blood -- those with common, Red blood serve the Silver-blooded elite, who are gifted with superhuman abilities. Mare is a Red, scraping by as a thief in a poor, rural village, until a twist of fate throws her in front of the Silver court. Before the king, princes, and all the nobles, she discovers she has an ability of her own. To cover up this impossibility, the king forces her to play the role of a lost Silver princess and betroths her to one of his own sons. As Mare is drawn further into the Silver world, she risks everything and uses her new position to help the Scarlet Guard -- a growing Red rebellion -- even as her heart tugs her in an impossible direction. One wrong move can lead to her death, but in the dangerous game she plays, the only certainty is betrayal.

COVID consequences continue
Measures implemented to slow the spread of COVID-19 and prevent severe outcomes and deaths also affected our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual wellness, the health care system, environment, and economy. Long wait times for non-urgent surgeries can result in poorer health outcomes including mortality, quality of life, and quality of care, as well as take a psychological toll on patients and families, including anxiety and distress. Virtual health care delivery has the benefit of reaching more people, particularly in rural and remote communities where they generally had a shortage of in-person health services even before the pandemic.
