Rolex Watch Expedition led by renowned explorer Dr. Constance Scharff kicks off bold, three-year global journey to the world's most remote communitiesSEATTLE - April 29, 2025 - PRLog -- With the iconic Explorers Club flag in hand and the backing of a Rolex Watch Expedition, Dr. Constance Scharff, a veteran field researcher and intrepid adventurer, is launching a bold new chapter in her lifelong quest to understand the roots of human resilience.The Human Resilience Project, a globe-spanning investigation into how people endure—and thrive—amid climate chaos and trauma, begins its journey in the Chalbi Desert of northern Kenya, home to the Gabra, a nomadic people who have withstood both conflict and drought for generations, but are seeing new challenges based on a changing climate. This launch marks the first phase of a multi-continent, multi-year exploration of what it means to survive with dignity, optimism, and hope in environments becoming inhospitable to human life.For over two decades, Dr. Scharff, a member of The Explorers Club, has trekked through more than 40 countries, living alongside some of the most isolated communities on Earth. Now, as principal investigator of The Human Resilience Project, she is setting out with an all-woman team to map the psychological and cultural pathways that fuel resilience in the face of adversity—from desert nomads to Arctic herders, Pacific Islanders to Amazonian tribes."The climate crisis is the great challenge of our time, and the answers we seek may come from the deserts, jungles, and mountaintops where people have long lived with adversity and know how to pivot," said Dr. Scharff. "This expedition isn't just about survival. It's about discovering the human spirit's greatest asset: resilience."In Kenya, the team will work alongside Dr. Paul Robinson's team, a group that has spent over 40 years documenting the Gabra's deep knowledge of drought survival. From there, the expedition will trace threads of resilience through a wide array of communities, including the Inuit of Greenland, the Sami of Scandinavia, the Māori of New Zealand, the Indigenous peoples of the Amazon, and others in Bhutan, Hawaii, Israel, Chile, and Indonesia.Throughout, the team will engage with traditional healers, community elders, and local NGOs to uncover shared strategies of emotional endurance, intergenerational wisdom, and cultural adaptation. The ultimate goal: to translate these findings into tools that support global mental health and empower humanity's response to climate disruption.The Human Resilience Project is proud to carry the distinction of both an Explorers Club Flag Expedition and a Rolex Watch Expedition—a rare honor given only to journeys of historic and scientific merit.This research initiative is affiliated with the California Institute for Human Science.For updates, field dispatches, or to learn how you can support the expedition, visit www.thrproject.com.Photos: (Click photo to enlarge) Source: The Human Resilience ProjectRead Full Story - The Human Resilience Project Sets Out on Explorers Club Flag Expedition to Kenya to Reveal Global Lessons in Survival, Hope, and Human Strength | More news from this sourcePress release distribution by PRLog

The International Ehlers-Danlos Society recognises the clinic of Dr Vicenç Gilete, Barcelona neurosurgeon, as the first and only Center of Excellence in Spain.BARCELONA, Spain - April 29, 2025 - PRLog -- Designated by the International Ehlers-Danlos Society as EDS Center of Excellence, Dr. Gilete's clinic is the first and only Center of Excellence in Spain and so far, the only recognised Center of Excellence that also provides surgical treatments in Europe.Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) is a rare disorder that affects the whole body. It is a disease affecting the structure of collagen; collagen makes up the tissues in our bodies. The most common symptoms are joint hypermobility and generalized pain. As symptoms can present throughout the body (multi-systemic), patients often struggle finding the right specialist for a diagnosis. Studies have shown that the average time between onset of symptoms and diagnosis is 10 years. Patients see a variety of doctors for the many different symptoms they experience. Few doctors are experienced in patients with EDS and its complexities.A very small percentage of patients with connective tissue disorders (such as EDS) can present with severe brain and spinal conditions due to the laxity of their tissues. The neck may become too weak to hold up the head, a condition called Craniocervical Instability (CCI). In some cases, the bottom of the spinal cord may become stuck to the wall of the spinal column and pull down on the spinal cord, a condition called Occult Tethered Cord (OTC). These conditions are not common in the general public and are therefore not easily diagnosed, even by experienced neurosurgeons. The diagnostic tools necessary for these diagnoses are not conventional scans.Dr Vicenç Gilete began treating complex spinal and brain conditions in patients with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) beginning in 2015. By 2018, his reputation spread internationally and treating this niche, very complex population of patients became the full focus of his practice. Patients come from all over the world to seek out Dr Gilete´s opinion and expertise for these uncommon brain and spinal disorders. They find out about him either through online patient advocate groups or from referrals from their local healthcare team. He has presented at international conferences, provided trainings to other medical professionals, and sat on expert roundtables.Leading up to today, thousands of patients from around the world have contacted Dr Gilete for his expert opinion. 90% of patients seen either in person or via telemedicine consultation come from countries outside of Spain.  Currently Dr Gilete is the only dedicated neurosurgical specialist in Europe. There are only a handful of neurosurgical specialists in the world dedicated solely to these types of patients. The other centres are located principally in the United States.After nine years of serving these patients, Dr Gilete has formed relationships in other specialists, initially to support patients coming to Barcelona for surgery. As complex patients present with many comorbidities (conditions related to their primary diagnosis), it is important to treat the whole patient. Cardiologist, internist, rheumatologist, radiologist, neurophysiologist, ophthalmologist, and mental health specialist are important members of the team.As these neurosurgical conditions require unconventional scans to diagnose, Dr Gilete has formed a special relationship with neuroimaging diagnostic centres that allows patients to undergo testing in the same trip as a consultation. For ill patients coming from long distances, this facilitates the process of diagnosis. The diagnostic package offered is unique in the world and specifically adapted to delicate patients and these challenging diagnoses.As a designated EDS Center of Excellence, the only Center of Excellence offering also surgical treatments in Europe, Dr Gilete and his team look forward to continuing to provide compassionate experienced service to this community of underserved patients. He hopes to apply the experience gained from working with patients and other professionals to expand services beyond neurosurgical services, establishing a multidisciplinary centre where patients with EDS and other similar conditions can find integrated answers and treatments to the variety of health issues from which they suffer.info@drgilete.com+34 93 220 28 09Marquesa de Villalonga 12, office 24Barcelona 08017www.drgilete.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/vicencgilete/https://www.ehlers-danlos.com/centers-of-excellence/current-cne/

April 24, 2025 - PRLog -- American University of Antigua College of Medicine (AUACOM) will hold its 2025 Commencement Ceremony on Thursday, May 22 at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC) in Newark, New Jersey. This milestone event will mark the first time that AUA graduates are addressed by the highest-ranking keynote speaker in the university's history: His Excellency Sir Rodney Errey Lawrence Williams, Governor-General of Antigua and Barbuda.Additional dignitaries in attendance will include Dr. Peter Bell, President of AUA, and Dr. David Graham, AUA Provost. Featured speakers also include Vernon Solomon, Chief Operating Officer of AUA's Antigua Campus and Senior Vice President of AUA, Class of 2025 Valedictorian Mitchell Webb, and AUA alumna Dr. Yamuna Carey.H.E. Sir Rodney Williams to Deliver Keynote AddressPhysician. Educator. Aviator. Elected official.As a medical doctor who has practiced in Antigua, the selection of His Excellency Sir Rodney Williams to address this year's graduating class was both meaningful and historic. Appointed as Governor-General on August 14, 2014 by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, he previously served in the Parliament of Antigua & Barbuda. This will be the first time AUA welcomes a sitting Governor-General to deliver a commencement address.On accepting the invitation to deliver the keynote address, His Excellency Sir Rodney shared, "As a Caribbean physician and fellow advocate for global health, it is a distinct honour to address this year's remarkable cohort; future doctors who, by virtue of their AUA experience, are answering the call to heal, to serve, and to uplift humanity."As President of AUA, Dr. Bell is ready to celebrate this significant moment with AUA's graduating class. "Faculty, staff, family, and friends from across the globe will gather to honor the hard work, perseverance, and accomplishments of our newest alumni," said Dr. Bell. "This year we are especially honored to have the Governor-General of Antigua and Barbuda, Sir Rodney Williams presenting the keynote address."Beyond AUADr. Yamuna Carey, AUACOM Class of 2014, will return to address the Class of 2025 as this year's alumni speaker. Dr. Carey is currently an Acute Care and Trauma Surgeon and Surgical Intensivist at Baystate Health/UMASS Chan Medical School in Massachusetts. A graduate of both Manipal University and AUA, she described the invitation to speak as an "unbelievable honor."While preparing her remarks for May, Dr. Carey shared a piece of advice she hopes the graduates will carry forward: "Never underestimate the power of the relationships around you. Your co-students, co-residents, and even your juniors might be someone you work with or for one day."Dr. Carey added, "If you're in medicine for the money or notoriety, there are easier paths. But if you're passionate about patient care and making a difference, this career is absolutely phenomenal."Answering the CallMitchell Webb, a Canadian native, has earned the distinguished honor of Valedictorian of the Class of 2025. Drawn to AUACOM for its strong residency match rates and acceptance of students after three years of undergraduate study, Webb entered the university eager to begin his journey toward becoming a physician.He recently matched into Internal Medicine at Rochester General Hospital in New York—just across the border from his hometown in Ontario. Reflecting on his journey, he shared: "Every moment and every experience I had in medical school ultimately shaped me into the person I am today. I'm incredibly grateful for the life lessons I'll carry with me into residency and beyond."Webb was notified of his selection as Valedictorian by Craig Hauser, Senior Vice President for Academic Administration. "Mitchell's nearly perfect overall GPA, combined with first-attempt passes on USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 CK—the latter with an impressive score in the 96th percentile—made him an outstanding choice," said Hauser."When I first started medical school, my goal was simply to earn a residency position. Never did I imagine I'd be named Valedictorian," Webb said. "I couldn't have done this alone. I'm grateful for the support of the faculty and proud to represent AUA at graduation."The AUA AdvantageDr. Carey cited AUA's blend of international and U.S. clinical experiences as a defining factor in her decision to attend. "It broadened my perspective and deepened my clinical knowledge while preparing me to practice medicine in the U.S.," she said.Webb echoed this sentiment, saying, "AUA gave me the opportunity to achieve my childhood dream. Studying in the Caribbean doesn't make me any less of a doctor."His advice to incoming students: "There will be times in your first semester when doubt creeps in. Stay focused on your purpose. Remember why you came here and lean on your support system—they'll carry you through."Dr. Carey closed with encouragement for current students: "It's worth it. Keep pushing through."And from Webb, one final note for his fellow graduates: "Be the doctors we promised ourselves we'd be. Never stop advocating for your patients—they're counting on us more than we know."About American University of Antigua (www.auamed.org)Founded in 2004, American University of Antigua College of Medicine (AUACOM), part of the renowned Manipal Education and Medical Group, is a fully accredited international school that offers a rigorous, innovative medical education designed to prepare students for successful careers in medicine.With a globally recognized curriculum, clinical training opportunities in the U.S. and other healthcare systems, and a strong emphasis on personalized support, AUACOM equips students with the knowledge, skills, and experience needed to become compassionate and competent physicians.Located in Antigua, AUACOM provides a diverse and dynamic environment that fosters growth and prepares aspiring doctors to make a meaningful impact on global healthcare.

These are real-world numbers from production farms across six countries—proof that Stout's technology is scalable and built to perform.With Smart Cultivators now operating across three contents, multiple countries, and numerous U.S. states, Stout's system is getting smarter every day – adapting to a wide range of climates, growing regions and crops.  Whether it is lettuce in Salinas, peppers in Virginia, or specialty crops in Europe, growers rely on Stout's field automation to supplement labor with smart, per-plant precision in both weeding and cultivation.  There's no question: Stout has earned its place in mainstream agricultural operations.From design to deployment, every Stout machine is engineered for durability, ease of use, and clear return on investment.  No special engineering team is required - Stout machines are built to be operated by existing tractor drivers with minimal training.  Onboard computing means there's no downtime due to connectivity issues, and when internet is restored, machines automatically update with the latest plant and weed models while syncing precise data to the Stout Data Dashboard.This level of precision comes to life through the Stout Data Dashboard, which delivers real-time, per-plant insights across the field.

Health policy expert Kavelle Christie warns that President Trump's first 100 days mark a systematic breakdown of healthcare access, public health infrastructure, and basic freedoms, with devastating consequences for public safety and vulnerable communities.WASHINGTON - April 29, 2025 - PRLog -- The first 100 days of President Donald Trump's second term have unleashed a wave of actions that public health leaders, healthcare advocates, and civil rights experts warn are endangering healthcare access, public safety, and fundamental freedoms across the United States.Kavelle Christie, a leading voice in health policy and global health systems, said the administration's actions reflect a deliberate unraveling of protections millions across the country rely on."What we are seeing is not just poor governance — it is a systematic breakdown of healthcare access, public health infrastructure, and basic rights," Christie said. "When hospitals close, when Medicaid is cut, when reproductive health is pushed further out of reach, it is working families and vulnerable communities who pay the highest price."Hospitals, especially in rural and underserved areas, are closing at an alarming pace. Proposed Medicaid cuts and mounting restrictions on reproductive healthcare are pushing essential care even further out of reach for low-income families, Black and Indigenous communities, and rural populations already facing systemic barriers."We are not talking about theoretical risks. We are seeing it play out in real time," Christie added. "Maternal deaths are rising. Public health programs are being hollowed out. And at every turn, communities that were already vulnerable are being asked to survive even more neglect."The appointment of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, alongside deep cuts to infectious disease preparedness and public health surveillance, has raised additional alarms about the nation's ability to respond to emerging health threats at home and abroad."Public health is not just another line item in a budget. It is the foundation that keeps communities safe," said Christie. "When you dismantle that foundation, you do not just put the country at risk — you put the world at risk."Civil liberties have also been challenged. From restrictions on protest rights to new efforts targeting academic and press freedoms, advocates warn that the administration's attacks on fundamental rights are intertwined with efforts to dismantle health and social protections.President Trump's approval rating after his first 100 days stands at the lowest point of any modern U.S. president over the past 70 years, a reflection of growing public alarm over the administration's priorities."Declining trust is not a coincidence. It is the direct result of choices that put ideology ahead of people's lives," Christie said. "We need leadership that strengthens communities, not leadership that leaves them to fend for themselves."

Hook More, Spend Less: Why Green Season is Prime Time for Anglers in Costa RicaJACO, Costa Rica - April 26, 2025 - PRLog -- Costa Rica's Rainy Season Brings a Surge in Sportfishing Action and Travel DealsJaco, Costa Rica – April 25 2025– The rainy season has officially arrived in Costa Rica, and with it comes some of the best fishing opportunities of the year. From May through November, offshore waters near Jaco and Los Sueños come alive with prized gamefish such as blue marlin, sailfish, mahi-mahi (dorado), wahoo, and yellowfin tuna. Anglers from around the world are discovering that the "green season" is one of Costa Rica's best-kept secrets.While the term "rainy season" might deter some travelers, seasoned sportfishermen know it's a golden window. The occasional showers typically roll in during the late afternoons or evenings, leaving the mornings and early afternoons clear and calm—ideal conditions for a full day on the water. Warm water temperatures and nutrient-rich currents during this time help attract big game species, offering consistent action for both inshore and offshore fishing."This is one of our favorite times of year," says Bolivar Rodriguez owner of Costa Rica Fishing Experts. "You'll see fewer boats on the water, the bite is hot, and prices are lower across the board."In addition to the world-class fishing, the rainy season also offers travelers deeply discounted rates on accommodations, tours, and charters. Boutique hotels, beach rentals, and luxury condos across Costa Rica's Central Pacific coast—from Jaco to Herradura to Quepos—are now offering some of their lowest prices of the year.Whether you're chasing your first billfish or looking for an affordable tropical getaway, Costa Rica's rainy season is a perfect time to visit. The landscape is lush, the rivers and waterfalls are flowing, and the bite offshore is as exciting as ever.Book your fishing charter and accommodations early to take advantage of seasonal discounts and experience the wild beauty of Costa Rica at its finest.For more information about fishing charters, accommodations, and travel packages, contact:Costa Rica Fishing ExpertsEmail: info@costaricafishingexperts.comPhone: 506 8310 8393Website: https://www.costaricafishingexperts.com/

ATHENS, Greece & NEW YORK - April 24, 2025 - PRLog -- In a breaking development, the Greek Ministry of the Interior has issued a historic Ministerial Order addressing the long-overdue needs of Greek-born adoptees, marking a significant step toward justice, recognition, and belonging for thousands affected by international adoptions.This milestone directly results from a powerful collaboration between the dedicated advocates at The Eftychia Project and the specialized legal team at Tsoromokos & Papadopoulos, PLLC. Their deep expertise in Greek citizenship law and tireless advocacy created the momentum and credibility needed to engage directly with government officials. A pivotal meeting took place in Athens on October 24, 2024.For years, The Eftychia Project has remained steadfast in its mission to support and advocate for Greek-born adoptees, particularly those adopted abroad, offering hope, identity, and reconnection with their roots. In partnership with the legal team at Tsoromokos & Papadopoulos, they laid the foundation that ultimately led to this transformative governmental action."Our firm has developed and implemented a proven legal pathway for Greek-born adoptees to reclaim their Greek citizenship and secure rightful registration in the Greek Civil Registry," said Rallou Kyriakopoulou, Director of Greek Matters at Tsoromokos & Papadopoulos, PLLC.

Their framework was acknowledged by the Greek Government, the Ministry of the Interior, and especially Minister Theodoros Livanios, who issued the landmark Ministerial Order. The Order establishes a definitive legal precedent and a clear path forward for Greek-born adoptees seeking the restoration of their citizenship. It formalizes and expands access to Greek citizenship for those who were separated from their heritage through adoption, often during periods of profound social and political upheaval."This is truly a day for Greek-born adoptees everywhere to celebrate something that none of us were certain we'd ever see in our lifetime," said Eftychia Trotter Forest, founder of The Eftychia Project. Four years ago, The Eftychia Project launched its adoptee-led initiative for citizenship. Today, with the continuous effort of its board of directors and its legal team of Tsoromokos & Papadopoulos, in close cooperation with Ministry of the Interior, what was once a dream has come to fruition with this ground-breaking Ministerial Order. We are ecstatic!"This achievement is a testament to the power of collaborative advocacy and expert legal leadership. Both The Eftychia Project and Tsoromokos & Papadopoulos, PLLC, remain deeply committed to guiding Greek-born adoptees on their journey to reclaiming their identity, heritage, and rightful citizenship.Media Contacts:Tsoromokos & Papadopoulos, PLLC – Greek Legal Services Team📧 info@tandplawfirm.com | 🌐 www.tandplawfirm.comThe Eftychia Project📧 info@theeftychiaproject.org | 🌐 www.theeftychiaproject.org

NEW YORK - April 24, 2025 - PRLog -- In a publishing landscape increasingly dominated by algorithm-friendly formulas, Baltimore-based author Christian Hurst is carving out his own niche with emotionally resonant science fiction that puts character development at the forefront of interstellar adventure.Hurst's debut novel, "Lily Starling and the Voyage of the Salamander," follows a protagonist who awakens with no memory of her past, only to discover she may hold the key to stopping a psionic enemy capable of reshaping history. The book has gained recognition for merging high-stakes adventure with deeper explorations of identity."I created the Lily Starling universe because I wanted to tell stories where sci-fi wasn't just about galaxies and gadgets—but about people asking questions. Who am I? Who do I want to be? If even one reader feels seen or understood through Lily's journey, then I've done what I set out to do," explains Hurst.As a self-published author, Hurst manages every aspect of his writing career, from story development to design, marketing, and promotion. This comprehensive approach has enabled him to create what he describes as "a fully immersive reading experience rooted in heart, humor, and high-stakes adventure."The book has received positive attention from reviewers. BookViral described it as "an engaging, well-crafted sci-fi novel that blends thrilling action, humour, and heartfelt moments seamlessly… a five-star read."What distinguishes Hurst's work in the crowded science fiction market is his focus on inclusive storytelling combined with cinematic worldbuilding.

The upcoming installment promises to expand upon the rich, expansive universe established in the debut.In an era when many science fiction narratives lean heavily on dystopian themes or technological speculation, Hurst's work offers a refreshing alternative that reminds readers why character-driven science fiction continues to captivate audiences across generations.Original Article: https://thenytelegraph.com/baltimore-author-crafts-space-opera-where-human-questions-outshine-galactic-scale/More Information: https://booklife.com/project/lily-starling-and-the-voyage-of-the-salamander-99939Photos: (Click photo to enlarge) Source: The New York TelegraphRead Full Story - Baltimore Author Crafts Space Opera Where Human Questions Outshine Galactic Scale | More news from this sourcePress release distribution by PRLog
