Pickle juice (acid) could stop muscle cramps
By Hicbd
"When the acid enters the mouth and it splashes the back of the throat, there is a nerve receptor there that is sensitive to acid. When that receptor fires, it communicates down the spinal cord where the cramp is happening...Pickle juice doesn't prevent muscle cramps from developing; rather, it stops them from happening in the moment."

Breast milk could be freeze-dried
By Hicbd
"But health care providers are currently reluctant to recommend freeze-drying milk, which turns milk into powder, because it hasn’t been largely studied...But for ones who are often on the go or who live in areas where natural disasters tend to occur, having freeze-dried milk handy can be helpful."

Artificial turfs / astroturf / fake grass could be harmful
By Hicbd
"All artificial turf is made with toxic PFAS compounds and some is still produced with ground-up tires that can contain heavy metals, benzene, VOCs and other carcinogens that can present a health threat. The material also emits high levels of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, and sheds microplastics and other chemicals into waterways."

Medical expertise / advice / diagnosis could be automated by AI
By Hicbd
"Accurate diagnosis is a fundamental aspect of global healthcare systems. In the US, approximately 5% of outpatients receive an incorrect diagnosis, with errors being particularly common for serious medical conditions, and carrying the risk of serious patient harm. In recent years, AI and machine learning have emerged as powerful tools for assisting diagnosis. This technology could revolutionise healthcare by providing more precise diagnoses."

"It’s a perpetual stew; Ms. Rauwerda and her friends eat most of it, leaving just a small amount of broth and other ingredients in the pot before they replenish it. They have repeated that cycle for over a month now, stirring an online buzz along the way...The scene brought to mind the European folk tale about hungry travelers who drop a large stone in a cooking pot and offer to share their “stone soup” with villagers willing to contribute an ingredient."

"Poker is a great platform to teach women skills like negotiation, decision-making and emotional intelligence...Participants learn key leadership skills by utilizing poker chips to simulate the betting, raising and calling experience of a game, but without any gambling or exchange of money. Players build confidence and strategic thinking in an educational and entertaining environment."

Fair compensation could rewarded in personal injury cases with AI
By Hicbd
"It’s what led Rami Karabibar to launch EvenUp, a startup that taps AI to generate legal documents to assess injury cases. The platform, aimed at customers in the legal field, attempts to use raw case files, including medical records, police reports and bills, to create letters arguing for proposed compensation....Mieszaniec’s family got just 10% of the average payout for that type of accident — partly because their lawyer didn’t know what the appropriate compensation should be."

"Based on decades of evidence, the World Health Organization and United Nations Children’s Fund recommended that all healthy mothers and babies, regardless of feeding preference and method of birth, have uninterrupted skin-to-skin care beginning immediately after birth for at least an hour, and until after the first feeding, for breastfeeding women. Skin-to-skin care means placing dried, unclothed newborns on their mother’s bare chest, with warmed light blankets or towels covering the newborn’s back. All routine procedures such as maternal and newborn assessments can take place during skin-to-skin care or can be delayed until after the sensitive period immediately after birth."

A business could develop overlooked / logjammed drugs by pharmaceutical companies
By Hicbd
"Roivant was founded by Vivek Ramaswamy...where he says he noticed pharmaceutical firms abandoning promising drugs for various reasons having nothing to do with their efficacy...Seeing an opportunity to complete the development of some of these overlooked drug candidates and get them to market quickly, Ramaswamy struck out on his own in 2014. One of his first moves was to acquire an Alzheimer’s pill from GlaxoSmithKline as it was dialing down its neuroscience research, forming Axovant around it."

Dishwashers could be small / portable
By Hicbd
"After years of each of them experiencing small apartment living with no space or time to install an expensive dishwasher, and how tiresome continuous handwashing was, they realized how valuable and necessary alternative cleaning solution was needed not only for them, but for everyone. That’s when the idea of Shabosh was born. The plug-and-play patented technology was based around a high-powered device that could be set up in a small place, needed no installation, could easily be stored away, and made for travelers, small or shared spaces and families on a budget!"
