This contribution honours the life and legacy of Dr. Richard C. Niemtzow (1942–2025), the founder of Battlefield Acupuncture (BFA) – a method that combines military medicine and traditional Eastern healing principles. Developed in the early 2000s for rapid, drug-free pain relief, BFA has since gained international recognition for its effectiveness and simplicity. The author reflects on the scientific collaboration with Dr. Niemtzow, which included advanced neurophysiological studies demonstrating BFA’s impact on pa [...]

Lumbosacral radicular pain (LRP) is a common sequelae of low back pain, the world’s leading cause of years lived with disability. LRP typically causes numbness, weakness, and tingling into the lower extremity and is associated with high rates of pain and impaired function. Despite its prevalence, there is significant heterogeneity among clinical practice guidelines for the treatment of LRP, which may contribute to poor patient outcomes. The aim of the present study was to identify treatments that participants [...]

The United Nations Organization (UNO) in the year 2015 formulated seventeen sustainable development goals (UNO’s 17 SDGs) to be achieved by the end of the year 2030. The so far achieved progress indicates that none of these UNO’s 17 SDGs can be achieved before the deadline. In fact, all these goals can be achieved by developing suitable technologies to fully capture and utilize all the renewable energy resources available on earth to meet all the energy needs of society without any backup from fossil fu [...]

Independent parallel reactions (IPR) and distributed activation energy (DAEM) kinetic models were developed and compared for the combined pyrolysis-gasification of two agro-industrial waste materials. The aim was to recycle greenhouse gas carbon dioxide for mitigating emissions, to evaluate the thermal behavior, reactivity, conversion and product composition in terms of structural/chemical characteristics of the fuels, and to provide accurate kinetic parameters useful in the scaling-up of the process. The experimen [...]

To develop a modular anthropomorphic phantom to evaluate the performance of radiological techniques for detecting pathologies in the temporal bone region. A phantom was constructed using a human skull, temporal bone specimen, and 3D-printed contour of a human skull. The human skull was embedded in tissue-equivalent plastic, with a cavity to hold the plastic jars containing the exchangeable freshly frozen human temporal bones. Subsequently, stepwise introduction and examination of different clinicopathological scena [...]

Aquatic weeds present significant ecological and socio-economic challenges in the Bangweulu Wetlands of northern Zambia, where their proliferation disrupts aquatic ecosystems, impedes fishing activities, and affects local livelihoods. Despite these challenges, aquatic weeds also offer a unique opportunity for sustainable biochar production, a clean alternative cooking fuel that can alleviate pressure on diminishing forest resources. This study explores the application of machine learning (ML) techniques to estimate [...]
