Biomedical Engineering Projects Ideas for Final year students

Biomedical engineering project Ideas mixes biology, medicine, and engineering to make new healthcare technologies. There are many exciting project ideas in this field. One idea is developing wearable devices that monitor vital signs like heart rate and blood pressure. These devices can help people keep track of their health in real-time. Another project could focus on creating artificial organs. For example, making a better artificial heart for patients waiting for a transplant. There is also a lot of interest in improving medical imaging technology. Projects could involve developing new ways to take clearer and more detailed pictures of the inside of the body using MRI or ultrasound. At Takeoff Projects, we explore these exciting ideas to make healthcare better and more advanced.

arcane characters as college staff

Mel

History professor 

Refers to all students by (honorific) (surname)

Nothing but praise on ratemyproffesor

“I didn’t like history until I took Professor Medarda’s class” 

Doesn’t write scholarly articles, just giant ass books that she pumps out almost every year somehow

Quickly responds to emails. No response = its in the syllabus 

“Is there any make up work I can do to get my grade up—“ Absolutely not

But if you go the writing center you can get extra credit

Every year her students ask for an extension on the final project and every year she gives a long and furious rant about how the project was visible online from Day 1 and they had all semester to work on it

She has a beautiful office that looks like a miniature library and she only sees students by appointment

Jayce

Physics professor

Is a prolific author but somehow can’t figure out how to set up the course online

Prints cheesy physics memes 

Every zoom meeting begins with 1000 messages saying “professor Talis we can’t hear you your mic isn’t on” every. time.

you can come see him in his office any time, door’s always open

but his office is so messy you probably won’t be able to sit because he has a stack of papers on every chair

“Everyone got this question on the exam wrong so I’m going to give everyone credit because that means i didn’t teach it properly”

Always throws an end-of-year party at his place 

Caitlyn

English Literature professor 

would win best dressed of the staff, always shows up in the slacks-and-blazer fit

“To understand why the narrator wears red shoes, we need to take a look at the sociopolitical state of Edinburgh in 1864.”

if you reply to a discussion board post with just “I agree” you’re not getting credit and it isn’t up for discussion 

Never reads contemporary fiction. The “newest” book she’s read is The Great Gatsby

“We’re not having a party but if you want to bring snacks and soda to the last day of class that’s fine”

Covers a lot of authors but it somehow always comes back to Emily Dickenson

Is that teacher that assigns 400-page books every week

Constantly publishing in lit journals (rumor has it she writes steamy open-door romance books under a pen-name but no one has confirmed this)

Ekko

Art professor 

You have to actively screw up to get a bad grade with him

He wrote thousands of letters to the board until they caved and gave the class a proper kiln

“Write a three-page essay explaining why AI art is not art and insisting otherwise is spitting in the face of humankind. Double spaced. Due Friday 11:59”

Throws back coffee. Has a coffeemaker in the studio. Two of them. 

“Hey guys some of you are submitting assignments at 2 in the morning. It can wait until the next day. Please get some sleep.”

He’s created awe-inspiring pieces but if you just wanna paint a frog wearing a hat he’ll say “that’s cool”

Says he knows who banksy is but will never tell

He gets way too deep in the zone. Once reached for his coffee cup while painting, drank paint water instead. Didn’t notice.

Jinx

Chemistry professor 

If you email her the response will be “k” or “no” and nothing else

Waits until twenty minutes after the class begins to email everyone that class is canceled 

Never wears a coat, goggles, or gloves. But will call out students if they don’t

takes 5 years to post grades

“Look I’m not remembering any names. Too many. If I’m talking to you I’ll just point”

Puts a meme on the projector every day. Mostly incomprehensible. Picture of a horse on an beach and it just says “Zimbabwe”

lowest score on ratemyprofessor

someone creates a website called ratemystudent and administration has no proof that it was her because technically the students with bad scores being the same students that get bad grades in her class can be coincidental 

Viktor

Biomedical engineering professor 

Only professor who still uses chalkboards

First day of class is first day of class. No reviewing the syllabus, turn to page 34 in your textbook.

Puts things in the syllabus to catch people who use ChatGPT. If you’re caught, you’re removed from his class. Immediately. You will not get to plead your case.

Most of his cited sources are himself

Literally begs students to thrift their textbooks online instead of buying them from the school. Provides free PDFs as often as he can.

He reads journals every day and will write personal letters to authors he disagrees with

If a student asks a particularly dumb question he’ll step out of the room for ten minutes to compose himself and then resume teaching like nothing happened

Vi

Not a professor, works at the on-campus gym and leads clubs

Constantly curses without batting an eye. Students will leave class with their very uptight professor then come to the soccer club where vi walks in like “sorry I’m late guys i had a motherfucker of a headache this morning”

Please don’t ask her about anything that isn’t club or sport related. If you ask for directions or how to get in contact with student services she’s got nothing

If she refs for a game and you’re on the opposing team you’d better watch yourself. She will rip you a new one if you break any rules. One time a player grabbed one of her member’s mask during a game and he left crying after Vi was done with him

Students run into her at the local hangouts a lot but it’s never awkward. just reminds you not to party too hard before the game tomorrow 

Leads pretty much every club but dance. Wouldn’t admit it but she has no sense of rhythm and refuses to even do it as a student

You can call her coach or captain or just Vi, whatever you want. But if you call her Violet she’ll stare you down until you correct yourself

Heimerdinger

Anthropology professor 

Spends the first day of class getting to know everyone. “We’re going to go around and give our names and a fun fact about ourselves!”

Gives the “Nacirema” assignment and can’t wait to tell everyone the catch

His classroom is filled with artifacts. Don’t ask about any of them because it will take up class time

If you can’t make it to class he sends really nice responses saying he understands, then checks in when you come back

The only thing that puts him in a bad mood is the “why do anthropologists study dinosaurs if anthropology is about people” question. He’s old and tired 

Keeps thinking about retiring, keeps changing his mind

Silco

Political science professor

His classroom is bare and blank. No life. Just fluorescent lights and chairs.

Brags about how few people pass his class

Very strict on attendance. Too many absences and you’re out. 

If the assignment is due at 11:59 and you turn it in at 12:00, it’s late

“I am quite interested to hear why you believe you are deserving of a higher grade when you’ve spent less than thirty minutes attending all of my classes combined. Please, continue.”

Will straight up roast other professors no problem. Encourages students to pass it along

He encourages debate but the only thing students debate about outside of class is whether he’s hot or creepy af

Final project is a choice between A) A ten-page essay on why there is no ethical consumption under capitalism, or B) a presentation on why the country is doomed

Vander

Education professor 

Makes his own series of Crash Course-esque videos

Comes to class in jeans at best. Sweats, sometimes. 

He has one coffee mug that says #1 Dad and he refuses to use anything else

He puts fun questions on his exams, like riddles. If no one gets it, he actually gets sad

Whenever he erases the whiteboard he always misses a spot. He’s that professor.

If he catches you plagiarizing, you get one pass before he reports it. But you have to come to his office so he can tell you how disappointed he is and how much potential you have

He gives a seminar about how worried he is for the future of education and the wellbeing of the next generation and everyone leaves feeling guilty. Everyone.

Make a pop culture reference in class and everything will grind to a halt so you can explain it to him. Visuals help.

Sevika

Librarian

If you play music in the library she’ll walk up to you and just go “are you joking”

Have a phone call on speaker and she’s hanging it up for you

There’s signs telling you to be quiet every three feet

If you see her outside of school no you didn’t

She’s in charge of leading classes on accessing academic databases and she fucking hates it

Somehow knows where every book is down to the shelf. She’ll tell you what you’re looking for before you can finish your sentence

technically she’s supposed to do a walkthrough before closing for the night but if you can’t read the library hours on the signs it’s your fault if you get locked in

Illicit Affairs- Chapter 5

Series Masterlist

Starting off with a flashback to the first moment of issues being present with Layla and Sidney followed by them going back home and a moment with Nate that has Layla thinking about a moment from the past she hid. Enjoy and let me know your thoughts 💙

July 2018

Layla sat on the couch, her phone clutched in her hands, still buzzing from the email she had just opened. She couldn’t contain the grin spreading across her face. She had done it. After months of applications, interviews, and sleepless nights, she had landed a biomedical engineering job in Germany. It was everything she had worked for. She could already picture the lab, the projects, the colleagues she'd get to work with. It was a new beginning, and it was exactly what she needed.

Sidney was in the kitchen, finishing up a late dinner when she walked in, trying to hide her excitement. But it was obvious. She couldn’t stop smiling as much as she wanted to. She walked over and kissed his cheek 

"Babe" she said, her voice light with joy, "I have something amazing to tell you."

Sidney looked over from the stove, wiping his hands on a towel and smiling at her "Yeah? What’s up?" he asked

"I got an offer… in Germany. For the biomedical engineering position I applied for !" Layla almost squealed, unable to contain herself. "It’s exactly what I’ve been dreaming of. I could start the second week of next month !  Can you believe it ?"

Sidney blinked, his face briefly showing confusion but he quickly masked it with a smile. "Germany, huh? That’s... that’s great.” he smiled at her, his voice lacking the energy she expected. He took a moment to stir the pasta, trying to avoid eye contact “That’s amazing baby…really it is”

Layla’s smile faltered slightly. "You don’t seem excited. Babe this is huge ! It’s everything I’ve been working for."

He shrugged, turning his attention back to the stove. "Yeah, I mean, it’s cool and all, but it’s a long way away, right? Like, we’d be on different continents. That’s... a lot."

Layla felt her heart sink a little "I thought you’d be happy for me," she said, trying to keep the hurt out of her voice.

Sidney paused, putting the pot of pasta down on the counter. He looked at her, then quickly glanced away, clearly uncomfortable. "I am happy for you. It’s just... I didn’t expect it to be so soon. I thought we were planning a future here, you know? I mean, it’s not just about you moving across the world. What about us ? What does this mean for us ?"

Layla’s brow furrowed. "What are you talking about? I’ve been working towards this for years, Sidney. This is my dream job, and now that it’s finally here, you’re acting like it’s some inconvenience. I’ve worked so hard, and all you can think about is how it might affect us ?"

Sidney frowned, trying to find the right words, but his frustration was building. "That’s not what I’m saying. I just didn’t think you’d make such a huge decision without, I don’t know, talking about it with me first. It’s Germany, Layla. It’s not like you can just hop on a plane whenever you feel like it. I thought we were in this together."

"I did talk to you about it!" Layla’s voice grew louder, her frustration bubbling over. "We’ve talked about me wanting to move forward in my career, about taking risks. You know how much this means to me. But now, when it’s actually happening, you’re just thinking about yourself when I’ve been there for you and I’ve been to every game I could and been there for you in every way these past few months. You’re making this about you but this is my future, Sidney. My dream. My opportunity."

Sidney ran a hand through his hair, clearly struggling to hold it together. "It’s not just about me, Layla. I’m just saying… I don’t know how we’re supposed to make this work if you’re in another country. I don’t want to lose you, I can’t lose you.”

Layla shook her head, her chest tightening. "You’re not hearing me. I’m not asking for permission, Sidney. I’m telling you what’s happening. And you’re not even supporting me. You’re acting like it’s some huge burden for you. I thought I could count on you to be excited for me, but instead, all I’m hearing how hard this is for you”

Sidney opened his mouth to say something, but the words didn’t come. He didn’t know what to do or say. He couldn’t shake the overwhelming feeling of dread that had settled over him since she mentioned moving so far away

Layla’s voice was now shaky, more angry than anything  "Sidney. I’ve been compromising for us, for a future that I thought we both wanted. But now that my chance is here, you can’t even be happy for me for this moment that I’ve worked so hard for. It’s so clear that you see our relationship one way"

Sidney’s face paled as he realized where this conversation was headed. "Layla, baby please… it’s not like that at all"

She let out a shaky breath "I can’t keep doing this, Sidney. I can’t keep waiting for you to understand my life and my dreams. I can’t and won’t be with someone who can’t support me.""Are you….Are you breaking up with me ?" he whispered, his voice broken “All because I don’t want you ,my girlfriend, going to Germany ?”

“It’s more than that” she said “It’s about how my weekends up until graduation were all about your schedule and what you thought was right for us, it’s about how after games you wouldn’t and sometimes still don’t call me or respond to my texts until the next day. You clearly enjoy having your space so why can’t I ? Sidney, this is an opportunity of a lifetime, this is my dream. I worked my ass off for this, I deserve it. I deserve you being happy for me and wanting me to do this”

“I love you” Sidney spoke “I love you more than words, these five months with you have been the best of my life. When I’m with you I know I belong, I know I’m more than hockey. I met you and my life changed for the better Layla. I’m sorry I can’t be happy for you, I am. But I won’t fake it. I can’t be happy knowing that the love of my life is gonna leave me and go to Germany halfway across the world.  I won’t”

“Then I guess this it” she whispered 

He nodded “Yeah….Yeah I guess so” It was as if the world stopped spinning at that moment, silence took over the kitchen as they both stood across from each other. No one moving or saying anything for what seemed like forever. It was her who stepped forward and wrapped her arms around him tightly. She loved him, she loved him so much her body ached at the thought of not being with him anymore. She kissed his temple as his face nuzzled inside her neck “I don’t wanna leave you” Layla whispered “I don’t wanna break up, I love you so so much” “I love you” Sidney murmured “I love you more than anything in the world, I just can’t stand the thought of you being apart from me like that Lay, I can’t baby. I just can’t” She pulled apart from his hold and gently caressed his cheeks with her hands, his brown eyes that were usually full of light were now slightly glossy. She placed a kiss on his lips and pressed her nose with his  “You know I love you..but..” “But you’re gonna go” he whispered “Yeah…I know, you deserve this Layla. You worked really hard. I’m gonna miss you.” “Sidney” Layla said softly “I’m gonna sleep in the guest room tonight” he moved away from her hold and turned off the stove “Uh everything’s ready if you wanna eat, I’m gonna go for a walk” She watched him walk out the door and sighed, this was her dream. This was something she had worked so hard for but it just felt so wrong now. She had a man she loved in her life, one she saw her future with but one who didn’t see the vision of what she wanted. That night she cleaned up and sat in their bedroom, waiting and thinking as she read the email over and over. All she needed to do was email them back telling them she accepted but with Sidney on her mind she couldn’t focus. Instead she fell asleep and hoped she could wake up with a clear mind and heart.

August 2018

On a day that should’ve brought him happiness, Sidney felt nothing but sadness on his 31st birthday. It had been just a little over 3 weeks since Layla and him ended things and that she had left Nova Scotia. They had still been texting here and there but nothing at all like they usually would. He was a little sad she hadn’t called him for his birthday but knew he had no right to be, they were broken up after all. In just one week she’d be in Germany, working there and living there permanently. The love of his life would be gone forever He rubbed his face and texted his friends and family thank you for the birthday wishes and headed downstairs, widening his eyes when he saw Layla sitting on the couch quietly “Lay…hey” Sidney whispered “I—I didn’t take the job, Sidney.” she stood up Sidney blinked, his eyebrows knitting together in confusion. “Wait, what? You didn’t take it ?", he stepped closer to her and held her waist “You didn’t take it for me ?”

Layla nodded slowly, her gaze meeting his “When I was sitting in that office, looking at the offer, I realized something. What I wanted was right here. With you."

Sidney’s expression softened “You chose me…” “Yeah I did” she whispered “I chose you, I chose us. I chose love” Sidney swallowed hard, his throat tightening. "You didn’t want to lose us ?" “No” Layla shook her head “Never’ Sidney looked at her, searching her face for any sign that this wasn’t the truth. When he saw none, he let out a deep breath, the tension finally leaving his body. “I don’t know what to say. I... I didn’t expect this. I didn’t think you’d actually come back and say you chose me.”

Layla smiled faintly. “I don’t know why it took me so long to realize what mattered most, I forgot to look at what I already had.” she hesitated for a moment “And I want to be with you, I love you…but only if you want me back"

Sidney reached for her hand, his thumb brushing over her fingers. "You don’t even have to ask that. I’ve been miserable without you. I’ve never wanted anything more than to make this work."

Layla’s heart skipped a beat as she looked at him, her voice softening. “Really? Even after everything that happened?” “Yeah. You weren’t just a part of my future, Layla. You are my future." Sidney squeezed her hand gently, as if making sure she knew how serious he was. "I don’t want to lose that.” He walked over to a drawer and took out a small box as he got down on one knee and opened it revealing an emerald cut 7 carat diamond ring with a gold band “Layla, I love you and I never ever want to lose you again. I know it may seem soon but I know you’re the love of my life and future mother of my children. I bought this ring the week after we met because I knew you’d be in my life forever. Will you marry me ?” Layla felt her chest tighten with emotion, tears welling in her eyes. She hadn’t expected this at all, she quickly nodded and extended her shaky hand “Y…Yes, Yes ! Are you kidding me ? Of course I’ll marry you” 

Sidney grinned and slid the ring on as he got back up and picked her up in his arms “You’re mine forever and ever now”

She wrapped her arms around his neck and smiled wide “You really wanna marry me ?” “I’d marry you right now if I could” he kissed her Layla kissed him back “Happy Birthday baby, I love you so so much” “The birthday boy always gets what he wants’ Sidney teased as he carried her over to the bedroom He always did get what he wanted, one way or another. He just didn’t know eventually it’d bite him back in the ass.

Summer 2024

The ride back from Montreal was much better than the ride there, only this time Sidney was too busy on a loud phone call with someone from the team. Layla sat in the back on her phone as she connected to the wifi and instantly started getting pictures and videos from Nate. She scrolled through and felt her core begin to throb. Part of her was thankful he was into recording them when he could, The way he fucked her was just animalistic. 

She couldn’t help but picture him inside of her at that very moment. The way he kissed her neck hungrily, the way his hands knew every curve of her body. His touch was electric. There was just something about him that drew her to him. Maybe it was the icy blue eyes or that damn crooked nose she thought was his hottest feature but he was just so sexy to her. She bit her lip and deleted everything he had sent like she usually did and sent him a text

Bet you wish my mouth was around your cock right now 

A response came in seconds,

Bet you wish my cock was deep in your pussy right now. Remember when your face was in that mattress and you came so hard you cried ? 

Layla shuddered at the memory from just the previous night. She could feel the growing wetness between her legs and quick deleted their messages before shutting off her phone and walking to Sidney’s side of the plane

“Hey babe” he typed on his phone not bothering to look up 

“Move back so I can straddle you” she said as she began unbuttoning his shirt 

 “Your ass looks so good in this dress” he smirked and gave her ass a light snack as he bent her over his lap and lifted her dress “I like you like this”

A moan escaped her lips as he smacked her ass a little harder “More” she whined 

“You’re so sexy when you beg” he murmured “But I want something else...” his fingers pulling her thong to the side as he traced her slit from the back 

Layla gasped as he began fingering her, she leaned her head on his arm rest and breathed heavily “Oh shit, just like that baby”

“You’ve always been a little sex kitten” Sidney whispered “When I first fucked you I knew you’d be a bombshell in bed”

She cried out when he added in a second finger and reached her hand back to grip his thigh “Baby I’m so close”

“I love you like this, I love when you let me control you” he whispered as he went a little rougher 

The feeling became overwhelming as she felt the familiar feeling build up inside of her. When he quickened his pace she yelped and did what she hadn’t ever done with him and felt the sudden wetness everywhere

“Wow” Sidney whispered turning her around “You’ve never done that with me, I’ve tried to get you to squirt for years”

“I wanna ride you” she sat up quickly and removed her dress completely 

In a hurry she unbuckled his belt and inserted herself on top of him. She didn’t stroke him or bother asking if he had a condom, in that moment Layla needed to fuck her husband

“Just like that” Sidney moaned as he moved her hips “just like that”

She moved as fast as she could, wrapping her arms around his neck tightly. She kissed across his jaw and down his neck, sucking enough to leave a mark

“Keep riding me like this” he lifted her head by a tight grip on her hair “milk my cock”

“Whatever you want” Layla whispered 

“Good girl” he let her head go and leaned forward to suck on her breasts “Fuck I miss when these were just mine” he bit down on a nipple 

“I’m always yours” she moaned 

“No” he answered back “now I have to share you and I hate it, I hate sharing you”

“Sidney” she tipped his head back with her chin

“Look at us now, look how good this is for us” he whispered “Just you and me, no one interrupting us. I miss this, I miss you”

She kissed him and pressed her forehead to his “Let’s enjoy what we have”

“Before I have to share you with 3 little assholes who don’t even like me” he murmured as he bounced her on his lap

The comment made her skin crawl but she pushed it aside for the sake of pleasure. She stayed in the cowgirl position with him for a bit longer. His too loud groans soon annoying her as she covered his mouth 

“Shhh I’m the boss now” she whispered lowly “I’m gonna fuck you till you come inside me”

The look on his eyes went from shock to excitement, she rocked back and forth until she felt him stiffen and bounced on him once more. Grinding down as she took as much as possible and felt her own release of pleasure rock through her causing her legs to shake

“I can’t feel my dick” Sidney whispered when she removed his hand “Holy shit”

She chuckled lightly and got off him, wincing at the sticking feeling between her legs. She could feel his load still inside of her as she slid her thong and dress back on, her legs slightly wobbly while walking back to her seat

“You have sex hair” she commented while fixing her makeup “Come here so I can fix your hair and your shirt”

Sidney laughed and walked over “can’t say I don’t like it”

Layla shook her head and fixed his salt and pepper hair gently, she grinned when she saw some curls still at the nape of his neck. She adored his curls and loved the fact that they boys inherited his hair genes 

“The boys have your hair” she grinned

“And my eyes and my face and my personality yet they can’t stand me” he commented fixing his cuffs “what do you say when we land we have today to ourselves and then you can get the boys tomorrow ?”

“Then they won’t see you till the next day since you’ll be training all day tomorrow” Layla mentioned “Plus Troy can’t handle more than 2 days away, he’s 8 months old”

“Just one more day just us baby” Sidney pushed 

“No” Layla frowned “I miss the boys and they miss us, they’re just babies Sidney. They can’t be away from us for long”

“What about me ? What about what I want ?” he sighed “You want me all to yourself when we have 3 little boys who need me more” she said back “You’re selfish that’s the issue, they feel that” He rolled his eyes “Yeah okay” They landed soon after and made their way to his parents, she greeted them each with a hug and kiss and made her way to where the kids were, only seeing Patrick quietly playing with his blocks “Mommy and Daddy are here” she smiled “Mommy !” Patrick immediately started to cry as he stood up on his wobbly legs and waddled to her “Mommy ! Uppies !” “What about me ?” Sidney pet his cheek “Look at your cheeks, they’re even more red today” “Dada” he sniffled and reached his chubby arms towards him “He missed you” Layla smiled at the sudden affection “He’s your little twin, Patty, where are your brother's baby ?” “Uncle Nate” Patrick yawned as he laid his head on Sidney’s chest “What ?” Layla asked surprised “Oh I forgot to tell you, since Nate came earlier he asked if he could stop by and hang out with the boys for a bit. I said sure, they like him” Sidney shrugged She did her best to stay nonchalant as she made her way outside and watched Nate blowing bubbles with Rowan while Troy was cuddled up comfortably in his lap. When Nate saw her looking she could see him blush “There you two are” Layla made her way outside, bending down as Rowan ran to her “There’s my big boy” “Hi mommy, I playing with uncle nate. We blowing bubbles” he smiled at her “I miss you” “I did too” she kissed his cheek and put him down “And Troy, where’s mommy little angel baby ?” She opened her arms to pick him up, surprised when he leaned further in Nate’s hold “Troy, come here bub” “He likes me” Nate said as he pet the 8 month olds soft brown curls “Taylor said he had a tough time but he’s chill here with me, he doesn’t cry or anything. He just wants me to hold him but here” he handed him over She smiled when the baby nuzzled his face in her cheek, giggling when he was in her complete hold as Rowan ran off to find Sidney “He’s my favorite” Nate looked at Troy “He’s chill” “You shouldn’t have favorites” Layla dryly responded as she fed him for a bit “Wait…stay here” “Why ?” Nate asked “I wanna see your tits but not like this” “You block the view” she mentioned “I stopped breastfeeding him last month because Sidney didn’t like how often he’d have to be in bed with us at night. He asked me to stop so I did but…I still have milk and he’s teething” “So that’s why he’s so sad” Nate nodded “I don’t know much about babies but…doesn’t he need milk ? That’s a jerk move” “He still has his bottle but he likes this best, he’s a baby” she kissed his forehead “You know how Sidney is, he’s over it by the 4 month mark and checks out till they’re toddlers who are potty trained and can walk and talk and out of the baby phase.” “This one should’ve been mine” Nate mentioned “Nathan” she muttered “Quit” “Its true” he said back “You even thought he was and you were a fucking mess for weeks until you did that secret test so don’t act all offended when I’ve fucked you during all your pregnancies because your husband wasn’t man enough to.” “Enough” she snapped as she covered up and burped Troy “Fuck all the way off, I hate you and I would rather die than have a kid thats yours you ugly loser.”

She walked away and left him standing there without a word. Harsh sure, but there was no way Sidney could ever know that one of his sons could’ve been Nate’s. There just wasn’t.

Shadow Service Animal AU Brainrot

OKAY THO LIKE HEAR ME OUT

cause artists are always drawing Shadow as a service animal of sorts, and like, what if there was an au made of it? Ex-

---Humans and Mobians exist on different planets. There are mobians on Earth and humans on Mobius, but it's only been a few decades since the technology was even achieved for planetary travel.

---Further stress on planetary relations are due to.. well.. speciesism. Mobians are offput by humans and vice versa. Most humans are under the assumption that Mobians are just cute animals and unintelligent.

There are, of course, Mobians on Earth and Humans on Mobius, but it is VERY uncommon. . Cross Planet news is also very sparse.

---Not sure about Shadow's backstory, but kneejerk-> ---The ARK facility is a very secretive project on researching Mobian biology for technological advances for the human race, with a specialization in Biomedical research and weaponry using chaos energy.

---The Robotniks are a wealthy and influential family in biomedicine. Gerald was chosen as the lead on the humanitarian side of the ARK, and was allowed to bring Maria under the guise of finding a cure for her NIDs using clinical trials.

---Shadow is one of the major breakthroughs on the ARK, with both teams collaborating to lead to his creation. This breakthrough is due to the fact that Mobian biology is compatible with Chaos, and human biology's relationship with chaos is at best undocumented and worse, akin to radiation poisoning.

---In this AU, The SHADOW project's breakthrough did give a cure to Maria, though not a one off. The researchers are unsure how much time the cure will give her, but hypothesize that it makes NID's a chronic illness instead of a fatal one.

(pardon me, I am not someone with a chronic illness nor do I know anyone who deals with that sort of thing. Don't mean to offend, please lmk if I misstepped with that terminology. Trying to say that she wont die from NIDs anymore but still suffers other symptoms due to the illness.)

---Gerald and most scientists on the ARK believe in the inferiority of Mobians. Therefore, while Maria is still a sweetheart, her only knowledge of Mobians comes from what she's learned from the ARK. Therefore, her understanding of Shadow is that he's a pet that can talk. She loves him, but he can't survive on his own ofc. Very patronizing towards him.

---Shadow, someone whose been raised on the Ark, assumes this is normal. He is a pet, humans know better than him because ofc they do, etc. His only purpose is to help Maria get better, and he shouldn't expect anything else.

---Since Maria is at a much better state then when she entered, she begs Gerald for her to go back to Earth. Gerald does NOT want this to happen, because, what if she relapses?

---After a lot of red tape, he finally lets her go with the caveat that Shadow is registered to her as an emotional support animal. Furthermore, twice a year, they are to return to the ARK to take more of Shadow's DNA and check on Maria's progress.

---So, Maria is on Earth with Shadow as her ESA when she gets word of her parents going to Mobius to visit distant relatives/some political thing/whatever. She manages to get on the trip!!!

---Part of the trip is a ball for influential people on the planet. Maria goes and takes Shadow.

---On the flipside, Sonic gets some stupid letter in the mail about ANOTHER ball. Unfortunately, it's not just Sonic but the entire team, so Sonic has to accept. This is due to the fact that the mobian part of the council that oversees peace between the two planets wants to show off their best. So Sonic and co. are basically flaunted to show how cool they are.

---They get to the ball and Sonic is dressed in some suit that is WAY too uncomfortable. He has to mingle but he also hates events like this so he ends up sliding up next to this hedgehog who's hanging outside the restrooms. Tries to make small talk, like "How come you don't have to wear a tux. What's your vest say?" etc while Shadow is standing there like 👀👀👀🤨🤨🤨 because A) Never seen another Mobian before and B) Why is this person talking to him???

---Thankfully, Maria comes out of the restroom and freaks because she gets to talk to a mobian!! She introduces herself and they get excitedly chatting before Sonic's like "Does he just lurk behind you all the time or does he speak"

Maria looked confused, "Hm?" She turned, and notices the black hedgehog Sonic's referencing. The subject of their conversation raised a questioning eyebrow at her, and, to Sonic's mild confusion, she let loose a laugh. She covered her mouth as she turned back to him, waving the other hand carelessly.

"Don't mind him, he's my ESA," She said breezily. Sonic cocked his head, and at his uncertain glance, she continued, "My service animal. He alerts me if I strain myself too hard."

Sonic blinked. That explanation didn't help at all. "I thought those jobs are for, like, Flickies or something." At Maria's confusion, he elaborated. "Animals." As in, Service Animal. Not Service Mobian, or Service Human-

The Earth duo looked at him with different degrees of bafflement. Maria ended up laughing again as if he told a particularily funny joke, the bright sound at odds with the creeping realization that was dawning upon him as he looked at her "service animal" again. The other's vest isn't a bizarre fashion choice, but a uniform. He stood behind her on her left, and, beyond his eyes observing the situation from time to time, didn't interact or speak. Sonic still didn't know his name.

"You're silly, Sonic. But I guess I can understand. You and Shadow do look really similar. But don't worry, Shadow isn't like you. He was made specifically to help me."

Sonic nodded along at her explanation, but couldn't help his eyes straying over her shoulder to see the designated "Not Mobian." Despite Maria's playful reassurance, intelligent ruby eyes met his own, and he felt this night get a lot more complicated.

Cue plot about Sonic and co. tryna rescue Shadow and teach him that YES he actually is allowed to have wants and needs outside of Maria's and YES he isn't just a pet.

HELP ANOTHER STUDENT! If you study a bioscience at an undergraduate level

Hi guys, one of my course mates needs data for her final project. I'll paste the email she sent out below. It's REALLY hard to get participants for final projects and its worth 1/3 of our final year, which is worth 50% of our entire degree!! If you can't take part, please share.

Dear fellow student,

I am a final year Biomedical Science student, and as part of my final-year science communication project I have created an educational resource about Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) for undergraduate bioscience students to complete. This involves completing the pre-resource questionnaire, then going through the case-based PCOS resource and finally completing the post-resource questionnaire. It should take 20-25 minutes to complete. To access the resource, you will be prompted to enter a unique identification number, and this also needs to be entered into the questionnaires (clear instructions will be on the page). I advise the resource is completed on a laptop/desktop, as the elements in the resource work better. Your participation would be greatly valued and appreciated. 

And here is the link to the SoftChalk resource: 

Thank-you

Best wishes

Hiii ! I had already asked that question, but I will ask it again because you didn't respond to it last time but at the same time it's harmless (I think), and if you don't respond again then I guess it isn't harmless 😭

I was wondering how you got into art ? Have you ever made art yourself like painting, drawing, and sculpture and decided to study that, or do you really just love art history and never had touched a pen to draw in your life? And how did your family react ?

And another question was were you in school, or work when you were writing AHB (I mean in general when you are writing actually) and if so, how did you find time to write and read? Because as a writer I feel like an important part is to read but when I do write I don't read, and I know that a big part of that is just school and I don't have time, but maybe you got a magic trick or smth?

hi! yeah it is harmless i am just SEVERELY behind on answering asks these days but i am not intentionally ignoring you/anyone. i am just behind on asks, sorry! also i get rambly under the cut so this is a warning!

as far as how i got into art, i used to volunteer at my local art museum when i was in high school!! and during that time i got to talk to a bunch of curators and educators and i was like,,,,, 'yeah. i wanna do this'

i am NOT artistic at all,,, i can't draw or paint to save my life el oh el. i had to take a fine arts course as an undergrad in uni which was fairly rudimentary ,,, just exploring different art mediums,,, color theory,, etc. and i was SO BAD at it,, so. bad. we had to bring in our art projects for critique and i still have nightmares about that...oof.

as far as my family support,,,, also el oh el. uhm,, no one was very thrilled with my life decisions to say the least...but i do not care! it's my life to live! then when my sister went to uni and said she wanted to be a biomedical engineer major n maybe go to med school,, well they put all their attention on her so we move!

also yes!! i was in school while i was writing ahb! i was in my final year of undergrad, i worked full time as a resident assistant at my university and i worked part time at a call center (<- WORST JOB OF MY FUCKING LIFE) and sometimes i would pick up extra shifts at my university's campus store because i was paying my own way through undergrad and so honestly.... the truth is i hardly slept. which is not healthy and i do not recommend that you do that at all. by any means. thankfully, because it was my final year i had some easy "blow off" classes in addition to upper division art history courses so the workload was lighter than previous semesters.

but my RA job would put me "on call" which meant i was the one an entire building of 500+ college girls would call if there was emergency of any kind (could be something serious like a fire or a strange man in the girls dorms or someone needing serious medical attention to something miniscule someone's fire alarm running out of batteries). and we would be on call for 24 hours on the weekends or 5pm to 8 am on weekdays. and if you missed a call because you were asleep you would be fired immediately no questions asked. and bc i got my housing and a lot of my income from that job,,,, i would get so paranoid and stressed abt missing a phone call that i wouldn't sleep at all when i was on call. so i did a lot of my writing for ahb! during those times at like 5am while i was on call. i was also required to work 10-15 hours a week at the front at my university through my RA position and it was a 24 hour desk and i got the night shift where literally nobody would come in. i'd work 10pm-2am on tuesdays and thursdays and then a few hours on saturday (But those were normally busy). and i would write my fanfic then!!! (should've been doing school work ,,, but alas) <- so for the "sHE CoULd'vE aT lEasT EdiTed iT" crowd who have beef with ahb!,,, i was too busy trying to graduate uni and working 3 jobs to do anything but post. so eat dirt.

additionally, i didn't read fanfic when i was writing ahb! for the most part. i was reading a ton before i started writing and then i think i was only able to keep up with the choices updates and picked up heavy fanfic reading again once ahb! was finished.

so no magic tricks from me unfortunately :(( i think it was only feasible bc i was operating on like zero sleep and my course load was light the final semester, and i got lucky with my job hours !! otherwise,, i didn't really do anything else. like i stopped reading, stopped watching shows,, etc,, if i had free time i would be on the google doc hahaha

biography

Naomi Phillips was certain that she would be a doctor from the age of six. Not only was it a family profession; it was her calling. A tender-hearted and precocious child, she knew exactly what she wanted to do, and set out to conquer every task put before her. She was nothing if not single-minded, devoted to her mission. Endless hours in labs, in the classroom, and finally in the hospitals. She had a solid career, but some part of her simply craved more, and the opportunity to work with Mercy was no small thing. There was no denying she had a fascination with their project, with their desire to quite literally save of the world, and most of all, with Solaris. No one could have predicted the effect it would have on her: poison taking root in her blood, quite literally dripping from her fingertips if she willed it to. Sometimes even if she didn't. It didn't all have to be bad, because after all, some medicines themselves are really just poisons. But more often than not, it proved destructive. Her life was changed by Mercy, everything given up. The man she had married realized he came second to her mission and couldn't tolerate it. Her career consumed her fully then, with nothing else she could manage to do. There was always another threat to manage, another agent to tend to or crisis to resolve. It gave her a sense of purpose, one she took deadly seriously. Between her personality and the effects of Solaris, she is isolated, more by choice than by circumstance. She cares for her fellow agents no matter their division, but she never allows herself to grow too close to anyone. There is plenty of work to be done, and when she has the opportunity, she experiments, however she can, with finding alternatives to the drug. Perhaps, deep down, it is for selfish reasons, to rid herself of the effects she fears will one day bring dire consequence.

When AI Meets Medicine: Periodontal Diagnosis Through Deep Learning by Para Projects

In the ever-evolving landscape of modern healthcare, artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer a futuristic concept—it is a transformative force revolutionizing diagnostics, treatment, and patient care. One of the latest breakthroughs in this domain is the application of deep learning to periodontal disease diagnosis, a condition that affects millions globally and often goes undetected until it progresses to severe stages.

In a pioneering step toward bridging technology with dental healthcare, Para Projects, a leading engineering project development center in India, has developed a deep learning-based periodontal diagnosis system. This initiative is not only changing the way students approach AI in biomedical domains but also contributing significantly to the future of intelligent, accessible oral healthcare.

Understanding Periodontal Disease: A Silent Threat Periodontal disease—commonly known as gum disease—refers to infections and inflammation of the gums and bone that surround and support the teeth. It typically begins as gingivitis (gum inflammation) and, if left untreated, can lead to periodontitis, which causes tooth loss and affects overall systemic health.

The problem? Periodontal disease is often asymptomatic in its early stages. Diagnosis usually requires a combination of clinical examinations, radiographic analysis, and manual probing—procedures that are time-consuming and prone to human error. Additionally, access to professional diagnosis is limited in rural and under-resourced regions.

This is where AI steps in, offering the potential for automated, consistent, and accurate detection of periodontal disease through the analysis of dental radiographs and clinical data.

The Role of Deep Learning in Medical Diagnostics Deep learning, a subset of machine learning, mimics the human brain’s neural network to analyze complex data patterns. In the context of medical diagnostics, it has proven particularly effective in image recognition, classification, and anomaly detection.

When applied to dental radiographs, deep learning models can be trained to:

Identify alveolar bone loss

Detect tooth mobility or pocket depth

Differentiate between healthy and diseased tissue

Classify disease severity levels

This not only accelerates the diagnostic process but also ensures objective and reproducible results, enabling better clinical decision-making.

Para Projects: Where Innovation Meets Education Recognizing the untapped potential of AI in dental diagnostics, Para Projects has designed and developed a final-year engineering project titled “Deep Periodontal Diagnosis: A Hybrid Learning Approach for Accurate Periodontitis Detection.” This project serves as a perfect confluence of healthcare relevance and cutting-edge technology.

With a student-friendly yet professionally guided approach, Para Projects transforms a complex AI application into a doable and meaningful academic endeavor. The project has been carefully designed to offer:

Real-world application potential

Exposure to biomedical datasets and preprocessing

Use of deep learning frameworks like TensorFlow and Keras

Comprehensive support from coding to documentation

Inside the Project: How It Works The periodontal diagnosis project by Para Projects is structured to simulate a real diagnostic system. Here’s how it typically functions:

Data Acquisition and Preprocessing Students are provided with a dataset of dental radiographs (e.g., panoramic X-rays or periapical films). Using tools like OpenCV, they learn to clean and enhance the images by:

Normalizing pixel intensity

Removing noise and irrelevant areas

Annotating images using bounding boxes or segmentation maps

Feature Extraction Using convolutional neural networks (CNNs), the system is trained to detect and extract features such as

Bone-level irregularities

Shape and texture of periodontal ligaments

Visual signs of inflammation or damage

Classification and Diagnosis The extracted features are passed through layers of a deep learning model, which classifies the images into categories like

Healthy

Mild periodontitis

Moderate periodontitis

Severe periodontitis

Visualization and Reporting The system outputs visual heatmaps and probability scores, offering a user-friendly interpretation of the diagnosis. These outputs can be further converted into PDF reports, making it suitable for both academic submission and potential real-world usage.

Academic Value Meets Practical Impact For final-year engineering students, working on such a project presents a dual benefit:

Technical Mastery: Students gain hands-on experience with real AI tools, including neural network modeling, dataset handling, and performance evaluation using metrics like accuracy, precision, and recall.

Social Relevance: The project addresses a critical healthcare gap, equipping students with the tools to contribute meaningfully to society.

With expert mentoring from Para Projects, students don’t just build a project—they develop a solution that has real diagnostic value.

Why Choose Para Projects for AI-Medical Applications? Para Projects has earned its reputation as a top-tier academic project center by focusing on three pillars: innovation, accessibility, and support. Here’s why students across India trust Para Projects:

🔬 Expert-Led Guidance: Each project is developed under the supervision of experienced AI and domain experts.

📚 Complete Project Kits: From code to presentation slides, students receive everything needed for successful academic evaluation.

💻 Hands-On Learning: Real datasets, practical implementation, and coding tutorials make learning immersive.

💬 Post-Delivery Support: Para Projects ensures students are prepared for viva questions and reviews.

💡 Customization: Projects can be tailored based on student skill levels, interest, or institutional requirements.

Whether it’s a B.E., B.Tech, M.Tech, or interdisciplinary program, Para Projects offers robust solutions that connect education with industry relevance.

From Classroom to Clinic: A Future-Oriented Vision Healthcare is increasingly leaning on predictive technologies for better outcomes. In this context, AI-driven dental diagnostics can transform public health—especially in regions with limited access to dental professionals. What began as a classroom project at Para Projects can, with further development, evolve into a clinical tool, contributing to preventive healthcare systems across the world.

Students who engage with such projects don’t just gain knowledge—they step into the future of AI-powered medicine, potentially inspiring careers in biomedical engineering, health tech entrepreneurship, or AI research.

Conclusion: Diagnosing with Intelligence, Healing with Innovation The fusion of AI and medicine is not just a technological shift—it’s a philosophical transformation in how we understand and address disease. By enabling early, accurate, and automated diagnosis of periodontal disease, deep learning is playing a vital role in improving oral healthcare outcomes.

With its visionary project on periodontal diagnosis through deep learning, Para Projects is not only helping students fulfill academic goals—it’s nurturing the next generation of tech-enabled healthcare changemakers.

Improving Healthcare Delivery in Nursing Homes: Focus on Broken Bones The objective of this study is to focus on health care management issues, problems, and policies in a current organization and specifically that of a nursing home with a focus on broken bones. Identification of Problem Osteoporosis and fracture related to osteoporosis "are primary health concerns and sources of significant death and disability around the world." (Clinton, 2011) In 2006, it is stated that hip fractures along "cost Americans in excess of $20 billion." (Clinton, 2011) This is a huge problem since one in four patients with a hip fracture die "within one year of having the fracture." (Clinton, 2011) Osteoporosis is a bone disease that is stated to "decrease bone density" and to increase the "risk of fractures." (Clinton, 2011) These types of fractures are termed 'fragility fracture' and this occur with "minimal trauma and typically would not happen if the patient did not have weakened bone." (Clinton, 2011) The body is stated to absorb more bone than it actually produces and this causes the bones to become dense and to become weaker. Affected is the spongy trabecular bones at the ends of the bones more so that the hard cortical bone that comprises the shaft of bones. (Clinton, 2011, paraphrased) Age is a primary risk factor for developing osteoporosis in both men and women. It is stated that breaking bone is serious, especially in older adults. It is reported that broken bones "can cause severe pain that may not be completely treatable. Almost all fragility fractures are associated with a decreased life expectancy when compared to patients who have not had a fracture. Twenty-five percent of seniors who break a hip die within one year from problems related to the broken bone itself or surgery to repair it. Many of those who survive need long-term nursing home care. A woman's lifetime risk of breaking a hip from osteoporosis is equal to her risk of breast, ovarian, and uterine cancer combined." (Clinton, 2011) It is reported in one study that there have been few in the way of "major health promotion efforts…directed toward old people." (Kutner, et al., 1992) The reason stated for this is that there are "widely held myths" that serve to provide discouragement for inclusion of older adults in such efforts." (Kutner, et al., 1992) Myths include that "health promotion means the prevention of disease rather than improving health status" and that "older people are unable to tolerate health promotion interventions, as for example, exercise regimens as well as for the reasons that older adults are not able or willing to change their health attitudes, behaviors, or lifestyles and that older people are difficult to recruit into studies and hard to evaluate and finally that behavioral or lifestyle changes in late life will have only minimal impact on the health and functioning of old people and that intervention is not cost effective for the elderly." (Kutner, et al., 1992) Of primary importance is that since most older adults have at least one chronic disease or disability, health promotion efforts for them are important for maintain function." (Kutner, et al., 1992) II. Analysis of Problem The Multicenter Trials of Frailty and Injuries reports the Cooperative Studies of Intervention Techniques (FICSIT) that is a project supported under a cooperative agreement for 1990 through 1993 by the National Institute on Aging and the National Center for Nursing Research of the National Institutes of Health. FICSIT is reported as a "series of clinical trials of biomedical, behavioral, and environmental interventions designed to increase physical function capacity and reduce falls and fall-related injuries among the frail elderly." (Kutner, et al., 1992) The difference between FICSIT and other interventions in the elderly is that it is a multi-institutional cooperative investigation." (Kutner, et al., 1992) Its interventions are reported as "randomized clinical trials with sample sizes ranging from 100 to 1,250." (Kutner, et al., 1992) It is reported that clinical center that participate conducted "their own proposed interventions and collect associated site-specific data, while simultaneously contributing to a large body of data collected from all sites." (Kutner, et al., 1992) The eight clinical sites are collaborative with a statistical coordinating center and a monitoring board. It is reported that participating sites as well as their populations and their proposed interventions and major outcomes are as follows: (1) Kaiser Permanente, Northwest Region, Center for Health Research, Portland, OR -- This study compares a control group to a moderate exercise group. The objective of the study is to modify environmental risks for reduction of falls in the elderly. Groups of 25 individuals comprise the study with a total of 625 participants that received exercise interventions and 625 individuals control groups. Eligibility Criteria is stated at 65 years of age or older that lived in the community, ambulatory, at least 1 fall in the past year, a near fall in the last month, or that were 75 years of age or older. The outcome measures stated are falls and fall-related injuries. (2) Yale University School of Medicine, Gerontology Research Group, New Haven, CT. Randomized block design. Usual health care plus social visits compared with usual health plus multidisciplinary program including behavioral and medication changes, education, and exercise. Sample size is stated at 150 persons in each of 2 groups. Eligibility criteria is stated at 70 years of age and older and living in the community, ambulatory, no severe cognitive impairment, no participation in vigorous exercise. Outcome measures reported are balance nd gait and fear of falling. (3) University of Washington, Department of Health Sciences, Seattle, WA. Modified 2 X 2 factorial design using strength and endurance training. Reduced exercise time in group receiving both interventions. Randomization stratified by sex. The sample size was 25 persons in each of four groups. Eligibility criteria 69 -- 85 years old, living in community, unable to tandem walk perfectly, thigh strength index less than or 3 equal to 1.38 Newton-meters per kilogram for men, less than or equal to 0.95 Mn per kg for women. Strength, aerobic capacity, gait and balance. (4) Emory University, Wesley Woods Geriatric Center, Atlanta, GA. -- This study is randomized into control, static exercise (balance platform) and dynamic exercise (Tai Chia, an ancient Chinese exercise form) groups. Control groups attend weekly health and wellness seminars. The sample size is stated at 67 individuals in static exercise groups and control groups and 81 in Tai Chi groups. The eligibility criterion stated at 70 years or older, living in community, ambulatory, no major debilitating illness. The outcome measure, balance, range of motion, ADLs and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL). (5) Audie L. Murphy Veterans Hospital, Ambulatory Care Department, San Antonio, TX. Usual care compared with physical therapy. Intervention is focused on general conditioning and functional activity training. The sample size is stated at105 persons in the intervention group and 105 in a usual care group. Eligibility is stated at 60 years or older, nursing home resident, functionally dependent for 2 or more activities of daily living (ADL), Mini-Mental State Examination score 50% or more. The outcome measures stated are functional status, physical status, health care utilization cost. (6) Harvard University Medical School, Hebrew Rehabilitation Center for Aged and the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging. Cambridge, MA. -- This study is a 2 X 2 factorial design using strength training and nutritional supplements. The sample size is stated at 25 persons in each of 4 groups. Eligibility criteria is stated at 80 -- 99 years old, nursing home resident, ambulatory, 1 or more falls or high risk for fall, no acute or terminal illness, no severe dementia. Outcome measures are stated to include improved muscle strength and association between nutritional status and muscle mass. (7) University of Iowa, College of Medicine, Iowa City, together with Iowa State University -- This study is on the compliance study of subjects in three groups, Parkinson's disease, post-hip fracture and nursing home resident. Compliance to the use of hip pads is measured. The ultimate goal of this project is stated to be the reduction of fall-related injuries. The sample size is stated at 30 persons in each of six groups. Groups are those living in the community, nursing home residents, those in rehabilitation, primarily for stroke, Parkinson's disease patients and those with previous hip fractures and residents of senior care facilities. Eligibility criteria is stated as 65 years of age and older and risk assessment for falls score is 12 or more and lives within 50 miles and no evidence of terminal illness and no history of psychotic behavior as well as being able to wear hip pads. (8) University of Connecticut, Department of Neurology, Farmington, CT. - 2 X 2 factorial designs with balance and strength training as the intervention. Simple size is four groups with 30 persons each. Eligibility criteria is stated to include being 75 years and older, living in community, ambulatory, no cognitive impairment and no terminal illness. The outcome measures stated are functional status, balance on the balance platform, gait and functional mobility. (Kutner, et al., 1992) There are physical deficits in the elderly that contribute to their frailty in terms of skeletal muscle strength, gait and speed, range of motion in the joints and musculoskeletal flexibility, postural stability, including balance, coordination nd reaction time as well as cardiovascular responsivity." (Kutner, et al., 1992) These conditions are reported to contribute to "significant functional limitations." (Kutner, et al., 1992) These conditions are reported to be such that contribute to significant functional limitations. (Kutner, et al., 1992) The most prevalent type of injury among older adults is falls and it is stated that 30% of older adults 65 years of age or older fall each year. The number is highest for the oldest in this group and 5% of falls result in fractures with five percent of falls resulting in serious injuries that require medical care. Over 200,000 older adults suffer hip fractures every year as a result of osteoporosis and an increased risk of falls. Falls and other mobility-related issues are stated to be a serious health threat to the functioning of elderly adults. It is stated specifically that falls "are likely to be associated with loss of confidence in the ability to function independently, restriction of physical and social activities and eventual increased dependence." (Kutner, et al., 1992) Some physical deficits in older adults have been shown to be preventable to some extent. Exercise programs are stated to "retard the rate of age-related bone loss and increase cardiac fitness." (Kutner, et al., 1992) It is reported that one large-scale study of fall prevention showed that "modification of home environment risks and participation in group health education sessions increased appropriate health practices and reduced the risk of falling for elderly persons." (Kutner, et al., 1992) A clinical trial is an appropriate method for determination of the extent to which physical frailty, functional impairment nd risk of injury among elderly adults could be reduced by appropriate interventions. Such interventions would be designed for the purpose of improvement of physical functioning, such as skeletal muscle strength, mobility, flexibility, and balance, decrease of environmental hazard, and alter risky health behaviors and lifestyles." (Kutner, et al., 1992) It is stated that a critical element in the evaluation of the effectiveness of the interventions "is being able to consistently assess the quality of life of the subjects." (Kutner, et al., 1992) Quality of life assessments are stated to be based "on a person's own opinion of his or her physical, emotional, and social well-being." (Kutner, et al., 1992) Quality of life is stated to have become a "major criterion for evaluating health and medical interventions." (Kutner, et al., 1992) Determination of the optimal method of measuring quality of life in clinical trials is a complex issue." (Kutner, et al., 1992) Assessment of life quality among older individual is reported to be difficult and specifically among older adults who are subjects in health promotion intervention studies. (Kutner, et al., 1992) Quality of life is reported to have been viewed "from the outset of trails as an important mediator of compliance and intervention effectiveness as well as an important outcome variable." (Kutner, et al., 1992) Masud and Morris (2001) state in their study that the most likely causes of falls in elderly persons include those stated in the following table labeled figure 1 in this study Figure 1 Reasons for falls in elderly Accident/Environment Related 31% Gait or balance disorders 17% Dizziness 13% Drop Attacks 9% Confusion 5% Postural hypotension 3% Visual Disorder 2% Syncope 0.3% Other specified causes 15% Unknown 5% Source: Masud and Morris (2001) It is reported that primary risk factors include the following risks factors as stated in the following table labeled figure 2 in this study. Figure 2 Primary risk factors for falls in elderly adults Weakness Balance Deficit Mobility Limitation Gait Deficit Cognitive Impairment Impaired ADL Postural Hypotension Source: Masud and Morris (2001) It is additionally reported that there are "potentially over 400 risk factors for falling. The important impact of falls includes significant morbidity, mortality, functional deterioration, hospitalization, institutionalization and expenditure to health and social services." (Masud and Morris, 2001) Rubenstein and Josephson (2006) state in the work entitled "Falls and Their Prevention in Elderly People: What Does the Evidence Show?" state that identification of effective interventions to prevent falls and fall-related injuries among older adults is a major area of research and policy development in geriatrics." III. Recommendations for Action Multifactorial interventions are those that "combine several fall prevention strategies, such as exercise, education, or environmental modification." (Rubenstein and Josephson. 2006) In residential care and nursing home facilities it is reported that "…multifactorial interventions often include prevention strategies for residents (eg, exercise, medication review, hip protectors), fall prevention education for staff, and facility-level environmental modifications On a subacute hospital ward, a multifactorial intervention included a falls risk alert card to identify high-risk patients, a fall prevention information brochure and education sessions for patients, balance exercises, and hip protectors. Fall risk assessment tools are used commonly in institutional settings to identify persons who are at greatest risk for sustaining a fall or fall-related injury, and to isolate specific risk factors that are amenable to intervention." (Rubenstein and Josephson, 2006) There are as well devices that can be used as interventions for falls among the elderly in the nursing home setting in addition to moving patients closer to the nursing station for increasing observation and periodic reassessment of patients following new illnesses which includes lowering side rails and bed height, changes in medication and increasing the nurse-to-patient ratios. (Rubenstein and Josephson, 2006, paraphrased) Screening tools can be used to assess the risk of patients for falling and are described as "brief…administered by a nurse on admission…usually updated on a regular basis or when there is a change in health status." (Rubenstein and Josephson, 2006) It is reported that upon being identified as a high risk for falling "a nursing care plan usually is developed that includes interventions that are aimed at injury prevention. Such interventions can include indicating on the medical chart and the patient's door that the patient is at a high risk for falls…" (Rubenstein and Josephson, 2006) There is reported to have been a "…major move away from the use of physical restraints because research has shown that the adverse affects of physical restraints on functional status and quality of life outweigh any potential benefit in preventing falls. Specifically, there is evidence to suggest that physical restraints may contribute to falls, injuries, and death." (Rubenstein and Josephson, 2006) Promising strategies for reduction of falls and fall-related injuries in nursing homes is stated to include such as the use of Vitamin D and calcium supplements for enhancing bone and muscle strength and the use of special hip protectors to prevent hip fractures that are due to falling." (Rubenstein and Josephson, 2006) A meta-analysis shows that "the most effective fall prevention strategy used individualized multidimensional risk assessment combined with interventions that were directed toward reducing these risks."

What Makes a Bio Safety Laboratory?

Bio safety laboratories are categorized into four levels — BSL1 to BSL4 — based on the type of biological agents they handle. BSL1 labs deal with low-risk agents, while BSL4 labs are designed for the most dangerous pathogens. Each level requires a unique approach to design, construction, and maintenance. At Utopia, we understand these nuances and tailor our solutions to meet the specific needs of our clients.

Our design process is rooted in international standards such as the World Health Organization’s Laboratory Biosafety Manual (4th Edition), AS/NZS.3:2002 Safety in Laboratories, and the Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories (BMBL) guidelines. These frameworks ensure that every facility we build is safe, efficient, and compliant.

From Pre-Design to Maintenance: A Seamless Process

Pre-Design: Setting the Foundation

Before we even put pen to paper, we work closely with our clients to understand their requirements. What kind of research will be conducted? What are the safety protocols? What are the long-term goals for the facility? These questions help us set clear user and tender requirements, ensuring that the final design aligns perfectly with the client’s needs.

Design: Tailored to Perfection

Our design phase is where creativity meets precision. We use advanced drafting tools and SOP setups to create layouts that are both functional and user-friendly. Our team is well-versed in architectural and MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) aspects, ensuring that every detail — from airflow systems to waste disposal — is meticulously planned.

Construction: Quality at Every Step

Once the design is finalized, our on-site quality management team takes over. We adhere to strict quality assurance protocols to ensure that the construction process is smooth and error-free. Whether it’s a BSL2 lab for a university or a BSL4 facility for a government agency, we treat every project with the same level of care and attention.

can't believe i found this blog after 10 years

and reading through it is somewhat heartwarming. i can see myself going through the motions as the leaving cert progresses through the lens of this blog which is really interesting...

during the leaving cert was the height of my anxiety - i would come into school every day absolutely shaking and my heart would be racing, i used to feel so sick coming in every day. i was going through a very difficult time mentally, that no one in my life knew about - i didn't have a lot of close friends by the end of school, and i absolutely hated change, knowing that the progression between school and adulthood was looming around the corner, and the fear of not finding myself as an adult...

i was disappointed in my LC results, mostly because I knew I wasn't getting into biomedical science. I read over the posts of me coming to terms with it, and pondering if biosciences was the course for me instead. i had actually gotten into medical science in GMIT, but wasn't committed to moving across the country, it would have ruined me. i'm a massive homebird, i needed familiarity in the stage of change in my life. most people were excited to move away from home, while i wanted to nest for eternity.

after humming and hawing, i accepted biosciences in DIT!

of which i left after 2 days.

i knew it wasn't right, i hated commuting to dublin and my contact hours for college were far too intense for someone travelling, when i walked into the classroom, my gut told me to leave. i was so disappointed with myself, i hated that i couldn't get to grips with college. im also a very shy person (initially!) so going to college in dublin was absolutely not for me. i was so nervous. i left, and proceeded to work for the year, which did me wonders. i needed to be in a somewhat adult space and figure myself out, outside of my circle and way beyond my comfort zone. i worked in a nightclub which forced me to socialize, i started dating my first serious boyfriend (another learning experience...!) i moved out, i made friends, i drank, i started smoking (lol!! not the best way to deal with anxiety, but it still does work, unfortunately), and started to feel more "adult-y".

I had made up my mind, and it was going against my heart, but my head knew it was right. Biosciences was also available in a college ten minutes away from me, in ITC (or SETU Carlow as it's now known...) I still had my heart set on science, it was my passion and I knew I'd be well able for it. I HATED, and i mean truly hated, this college with a passion, until i stepped in the doors on the first day. i felt at home instantly, i knew it was right, i was settling immediately (even though i was still initially very, very nervous and shy, i loved my classes and the community aspect of it).

So, after a long, long 5 years (I repeated final year, as covid had hit in my final year, and with my absolutely abysmal organizational skills and detest for at home lectures), I graduated with a 1.1 in biosciences with biopharmaceuticals, and headed on my merry way.

I got some work experience in a small pharma company in Kilkenny, hated it due to how awful some of the people were (and these people actually work in the same network as me at the moment, which is INCREDIBLY surprising given their attitude and absolute lack of GMP skills, but that sure does work in an office setting sometimes) and left even when i was offered to stay on. I was slightly disillusioned, until I finally found my way into my absolute dream job - just a short distance away from my home and college, my ideal role in a microbiology lab... it was a dream come true, and im still living it!

I'm just 3 years into my role now, and it's enabled me to flourish - through my work I got a permanent role after starting as a contractor, working on a brand new site project in the same role which has been stressful, but SO much fun at the same time, learning my niches, and loving the structure of the work, it suits me down to the ground.

Life is good, and it's not all about the LC! (Although my instinct is still to be a journalist and write opinion pieces in the Independent, but that dream can be tucked away into bed for a little while, after reading back this grammar-challenged word vomit, I wouldn't say I'm a worthy contender... :D)
