What Is the Best Altcoin to Buy Today? A Comparative Look at Qubetics, Stellar, and MoneroAs the nurses parted the five-eighth's short curls to fit the receptors, he thought about the impact of what he was about to do. Login or signup to continue reading In a little more than six minutes, and without ever saying a word, an image of how his brain deals with information would be taken and analysed. It would be some of the first scans of its kind taken in the region and would inform doctors about the effect of concussion in more detail than the Hunter has ever before had access to. At that moment, it might have been difficult for the players to conceive of a moment when they were hurt. They were young, at peak fitness, and at the height of their powers. But as the device - looking somewhat like a swimming cap with nodes attached - was fitted to Jayden Fox's head, he was thinking about his future. "It's keeping yourself safe," the Hunter Wildfire's five-eighth said. "Protecting your future. Footy isn't everything, I guess, and you have to protect yourself." The technology - a version of which was notably used to diagnose Knights star Kalyn Ponga after he suffered a string of concussions during the 2023 season - has made its way to the Hunter via neurologist Chris Levi, who consulted on Ponga's treatment and now co-owns a company, CXDX Connected Diagnostics, which aims to distribute the technology - called the NeuroCatch platform - in Australia. Lake Macquarie Private's emergency department is the first place in Australia to use it. It scans the low-voltage energy produced when the brain is at work and cross-references the data against another scan when a player suffers a suspected concussion. At the weekend, the Wildfires signed on en-mass for a baseline scan that would be used to diagnose concussions if the worst should happen on the field during the season. "When your brain works, it creates low voltage electricity. And that low voltage electricity can be detected through the scalp with the little electrodes in the headpiece," Professor Levi said on Saturday as he oversaw the team going through the testing at No. 2 Sportsground. "When you think about certain tasks, you produce certain waves." "What we see when someone has a concussion is that the waveform changes." Professor Levi said the technology - not only applicable to sports recovery but also to dementia patients and other brain function diagnoses - unveiled a radically new and precise understanding of how an individual player's brain responds to tasks, changing in the event of a concussion, and how long it took to recover. "There are all types of concussions in terms of mild, moderate and severe and at the moment, the guidelines are a one-size-fits-all approach," Professor Levi said. "This allows us to do precision medicine, personalising treatment to the player." The data would inform the severity and longevity of concussion events, he said, and with an immediacy that local players have not had access to before. The Wildfires operations manager, Rich Ley, said that more than the medical advancement for his players, the testing offered a sense of comfort and reassurance that the club was not just looking out for the players' health during their careers but well after. "The players have families and careers outside of here that they have to care for as well," he said. "We're doing the right thing here." Beau McKenzie, the Wildfires flanker, had suffered a few knocks in his career, and he said he felt unable to understand anything. Another player, as he waited for his turn in the testing room, remembered coming to with someone standing over him after his concussion last year. "A lot of the time, you're a bit out of it," he said. "Someone is standing over you, checking on you, and depending on what it is, you feel a bit dazed. It can be as bad as slurring your words." The benefit of the local tech, Lake Macquarie Private emergency department director Mark Lee said, was its immediacy. A nurse could fit the device and take the reading and, in less than 10 minutes, had a report that could inform them of the next steps of diagnosis. "That is why it's so exciting," he said.

Mike Flanagan's Clayface Movie Just Took Another Big Step Forward, But Now I Have Three Big Questions About The Batman Villain's Big Screen FutureThere has been a flurry of upsets in college basketball so far during Thanksgiving Week. The UConn Huskies lost back-to-back games against Memphis and Colorado. No. 20 Texas A&M fell to Oregon, No. 21 Creighton fell to San Diego State, and No. 9 Alabama defeated No. 6 Houston, all in the Players Era tournament in Las Vegas on Tuesday. On Wednesday, the upsets continued as No. 14 Indiana lost to Louisville in the Battle 4 Atlantis in the Bahamas. Right after that, No. 3 Gonzaga fell to West Virginia in overtime. It was a stunning loss for the Bulldogs, who had a five-point lead with 25 seconds left in regulation. Kevin Jairaj-Imagn Images With less than 10 seconds, Gonzaga had a two-point lead, but a Nolan Hickman turnover sent Tucker DeVries to the free throw line, and he knocked down both to tie the game and send it to overtime. After the game, Mark Few shouldered the blame for not calling a timeout prior to Hickman's turnover, per Theo Lawson. "I shoulda called a timeout as that thing was progressing, it didn’t look great on the press break," Few said. "I probably should have burned one, we had it in our two guards’ hands and I trusted them." #Gonzaga 's Mark Few took blame for not calling a timeout before Nolan Hickman's late TO: "I shoulda called a timeout as that thing was progressing, it didn’t look great on the press break. I probably should have burned one, we had it in our two guards’ hands and I trusted them." The extra period was all West Virginia as they outscored Gonzaga 15-7 to get the stunning upset. It was Gonzaga's first loss of the year after key wins against Baylor, Arizona State, and San Diego State. However, despite a late lead, the Bulldogs suffered a crushing loss in the Bahamas. Next up for Gonzaga is a game on Thanksgiving Day against Indiana, in the loser's bracket. Related: Legendary College Basketball Coach Knocked Out of Chair at Maui InvitationalNone

The Ducks lugged a four-game points streak in tow as they prepared to welcome the Seattle Kraken for the front half of a home-and-home set. It will begin Monday at Honda Center before migrating northward for its second leg on Wednesday in Seattle. Last season, the teams also faced off twice in three days, with both those games being played in Seattle. The Kraken won both by an aggregate score of 8-2 as part of a four-game season sweep, though neither team ended up qualifying for the postseason. This year, they’re both at exactly .500, thanks to recent surges –– the Ducks are 4-1-1 in their past six games and the Kraken are 5-2-0 in their last seven –– with designs on pushing upward in the Pacific Division standings. They’re also both coming off disappointing losses, with the Ducks blowing a two-goal lead to fall 3-2 in overtime to the Buffalo Sabres on Friday and the Kraken coming up with too little, too late in the way of both offense and energy against the Kings on Saturday. Buffalo was opportunistic, twice dredging up goals from rebounds and scoring another off a turnover. For the Ducks’ part, they missed opportunities to shoot the puck, in some cases from prime scoring areas, once more. “We’ve still got to shoot the puck more,” Coach Greg Cronin said. “In the first period, I think Leo (Carlsson) had a 2-on-1 and the (defenseman) shaded towards (Alex Killorn), and he still passed. I think (Pavel Mintyukov) had one in the slot and he didn’t shoot it. It’s a strange mentality.” While Cronin lamented his team’s unwillingness to shoot yet again, former Ducks defenseman Brandon Montour was flummoxed by his Seattle teammates’ lack of pop in a loss to the Kings that he prevented from being a shutout with a goal in the final two minutes of the match. While Montour liked his squad’s late push, he thought they needed more hunger and consistency alike against the Ducks. “These games, we’ve got to be up for. Anaheim’s up next, we’ve got to come with desperation and get those points,” Montour said. Montour had nearly put the Kraken on the board with a booming one-timer and a second-chance effort that pinged the post in a game where his motor, wheels, and open throttle were on full display. Since his departure via trade in 2019, Montour has established himself firmly in the NHL. After parts of three seasons, including two truncated ones, in Buffalo, Montour moved onto the Florida Panthers. There, he scored a career-high 73 points two seasons ago, when the Panthers’ Cinderella run carried them to the Stanley Cup Final. Last season, they won the Cup in a contract year for Montour, who inked a seven-year, $50 million contract with Seattle as a free agent. He leads Seattle in defensive scoring and Jared McCann is its pace car when it comes to points. Another top offensive talent, Jordan Eberle, underwent pelvic surgery on Friday and was expected to miss around three months of action.

A piece of individual brilliance from Daizen Maeda earned Celtic a Champions League point after an incredible blunder from Cameron Carter-Vickers gifted Club Brugge the lead at Parkhead. There was little surprise that Brugge took the lead in the 26th minute but the manner of the goal was a total shock. Nicolas Kuhn was forced into his own box as Brugge pressed and laid the ball off for Carter-Vickers, who passed back without looking. Kasper Schmeichel was at the opposite side of his goal to where the defender guessed and the ball rolled into the corner of the net. Celtic struggled to make inroads until Maeda took centre stage on the hour mark. The wide player’s Cruyff turn set up the chance to shoot from a tight angle and he curled in off the post. Brugge had a goal disallowed before Celtic finished the game on top as they moved on to eight points ahead of their trip to Croatia to face Dinamo Zagreb on December 10. “Mistakes happen and it was just unfortunate,” said Celtic boss Brendan Rogers. “He’s played that pass a million times and it’s gone back and then we’ve been able to play forward. “But he’s a really, really tough character. He’s a great guy, he picked himself up. He was really strong and aggressive again in the game and got on with it and had a real bravery in the second half, because he was the one carrying the ball forward for us to start the attack.” Elsewhere in the Champions League, Borussia Dortmund moved into the top eight with 3-0 win at Dinamo Zagreb , where English forward Jamie Gittens, Ramy Bensebaini and Serhou Guirassy got on the scoresheet. Monaco dropped to eighth after suffering their first loss of the league phase, 3-2 at home to Benfica . Despite having Wilfried Singo sent off just prior to the hour mark, the French side took the lead for a second time via Soungoutou Magassa in the 67th minute, only for late goals from Arthur Cabral and Zeki Amdouni to give Benfica all three points. Lille , in 12th, have the same amount of points as Monaco and Villa thanks to a 2-1 win at Bologna , with Ngal’Ayel Mukau notching a brace. PSV Eindhoven, now 18th, produced a dramatic late turnaround to beat 10-man Shakhtar Donetsk 3-2 at home. The visitors led 2-0 through Danylo Sikan and Oleksandr Zubkov before having Pedrinho sent off in the 69th minute, and PSV then hit back with three goals in the closing stages, Malik Tilman scoring in the 87th and 90th and Ricardo Pepi then notching the winner in the fifth minute of stoppage time. Red Star Belgrade registered their first win of the league phase by thrashing Stuttgart 5-1, as did Sturm Graz , beating Girona 1-0. PANewtopia Reports Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results
